[000:00:00;00] in any city, at any time, just go to the site and report and we will launch all possible mechanisms for punishing the criminal stopkramy.ua is on the air, the program of the ukrainian voice of america service is time, and i am its host, ostap yarysh . the united states is focused on ensuring that ukraine has everything necessary for the start of a confident offensive, weapons, ammunition and , accordingly, preparation, this was stated by the representative of the us national security council, john kirpi . he added that ukraine has already received most of this, but the ukrainian leadership

will decide when to start offensive actions meanwhile, washington military experts believe that the counteroffensive of the ukrainian army has a great chance of success. if during it the western country continues the pace of aid, what might the offensive tactics of the west look like, what mistakes should kyiv watch out for? new opportunities to achieve a decisive breakthrough at a certain point of the russian defense and then take advantage of this and push through tanks armored personnel carriers mobile platforms to use their mobility to punch holes in the ranks of the russian defenses and by penetrating the rear of the russian formations to force the russians to push back their lines because otherwise the ukrainians will be able to surround them and bypass them from the flank - this is the

best scenario for ukraine. will live up to our expectations, the idea will begin to spread in the west that we are simply satisfied with the conditions of the frozen conflict and will begin to reduce or restrain our aid to ukraine instead to give them everything they need to win, we give them everything not to lose i think this is a real risk ukraine events i think it will be a very long process that has probably already started we have already formed some ideas about it because we have watched too many hollywood movies how do these large-scale military operations take place but often such large-scale military operations do not have an identifiable starting point and it may be that we will not know the results of this

counteroffensive for many months, whether it was a success or a failure, i think exactly so we have to start thinking about the future offensive of ukraine it won't happen quickly there will be ups and downs there will be some tactical failures but we must continue to provide ukraine with weapons and ammunition and the necessary training so that they can win i 'm cautiously optimistic i think they will handle it quite well counteroffensive but i think next time, a second counteroffensive will be needed, so right now we need to start thinking about what ukraine will need for its counteroffensive in 2024, we need to start thinking about what ukraine will need in the winter next winter while helping them in their current offensive for too long american policymakers have viewed the war in ukraine as a series of separate battles we need to start thinking about the war in ukraine as a series of distinct but interconnected undertakings that will last for years and when we begin to think so we will succeed, at the same time experts

believe that providing ukraine with long-range missiles will significantly strengthen its capabilities on the battlefield, but the former minister of foreign affairs of ukraine pavlo klimkin is convinced that this step is it is also important from the point of view of diplomacy, as it will give impetus to other countries. he told about this in the voice of america briefing. of course, it is very important, because the endless red lines that our friends and partners set for themselves sometimes turn into a labyrinth. and now we are the newest. it can be used for strikes in terms of logistics and warehouses and many other things, this also means that in the future it will be much easier to make similar or different decisions and the very dynamics of the discussion regarding

military aid will receive such a positive and a very cool impulse in britain has always been in the vanguard, why are we in the vanguard both in terms of practical steps and practical supplies, and in terms of strategic thinking? are ready to raise rates when necessary, unfortunately, and there is still a fundamental, uh, cautious attitude to raising rates, the desire to avoid escalation and this desire is not only to avoid escalation from the supply of a specific type of weapons, this desire

in general, to keep what is happening in our country throughout our war somehow within certain limits what is sometimes called controlled , although this may not be an entirely adequate concept , so that the conflict today, our partners say, did not go beyond the borders of ukraine and this serves as the reason for the endless installation of different red and other colored lines, and then behind these lines sometimes you cannot see the strategy and supply. it is these types of long-range weapons that will change completely strategic thinking in the evening, but some things still unlocks therefore, it is a very positive reality this is the opinion of the former minister of foreign affairs of ukraine pavlo klimkin watch the voice of america briefing program from monday to friday 18 and for kyiv on youtube

the author himself emphasizes, since the beginning of the russian war in to ukraine, and to the film. from this film, this diary of our trip, we did not have a preliminary plan of an approved idea, the only thing we definitely knew was that we were on the side of ukraine, we were not going to give the floor for 5 minutes to hitler and 5 minutes to the jews, we were with the ukrainians, but we simply posed went to the frontline kyiv kharkiv izyum slovyansk bakhmut uman odesa mykolaiv kherson and ochakiv levy takes the viewer through the most remote cities and the most dangerous areas of the front that unclaimed territories and even accompanies to the mine together with the zaporizhia miners. and everywhere he communicates with people, people who survived the occupation, the release of shelling, or even remain in the war zone despite the danger

. the soldiers show him the trenches and invite him to spend the night in the dugout. the devastation left behind by russian soldiers and the resilience and heroism of ukrainian defenders and civilians, people have lost almost everything, but continue to fight for their values, of course , and for the territories as well, but not only for them in the other day, in the bakhmut district or in other places, the local people waited for months for evacuation. i saw people who still have the strength of spirit and say that they are fighting for european choices , but in order to be part of this civilization, they endure such suffering because they know that it is not for nothing that ukrainians suffer, die, lose relatives and bury their own children , and i never once heard that any of them said that the war must be stopped at any cost, that

a compromise must be made, for example, regarding crimea, such nonsense can only be heard on on the red carpets of a comfortable event in the united states in 10 days, there were 12 screenings of the film glory to ukraine, tickets for the premiere in washington were sold out in advance, most of the audience was impressed by how close the director managed to approach the position of the russians in some parts of the film, they were separated by less than 10 km. the impression is that our as i visited one of those places myself, because it was very realistically filmed and very realistically conveyed, the atmosphere is there from the very beginning. i have been following the war and the progress of ukraine. i wanted to express my support, and the film encouraged me. i saw how many ukrainians are confident of their victory and believed in the workshop, this film is very strong, it gives a human face, it is there

that we constantly hear about in the news , the scene where the director shows us the rooms where people were tortured in kherson deserves special attention, the whole hall cried watching these shots in addition, the film successfully conveys the dignity of ukrainians, this week he presented his new film at the un, where he emphasized the illegitimacy of russia's presence in the security council, as well as in the american congress, together with anna zaitseva and mykhailo dianov, who survived during the steel blockade in mariupol, they unfurled the ukrainian flag. i was pleased to learn that somewhere far away in ukraine, in the trenches of donetsk region, my comrades saw that their flag was in the congress and were happy about it. and this, in turn, made me happy. i made this film with ukrainians about ukrainians they are real heroes and characters of the film and it is made for ukrainians, if i make any contribution so that people learn more about ukraine , support it more, so that the allies

transfer tanks and planes faster, the plane brought victory closer and therefore saved my innocent life the work will be completed, i left here, display, we have to move our weapons from the second front line, that is, our arsenals to the front line, which is now in bahmut, kherson, ochakov, to where i was and where i filmed today, this must be done for our national security, the national security of france, the national security of the american people, weapons are needed move to where it should be on the front line in ukraine maria ulyanovska kostyantyn golubchyk dmytro melnyk voice of america download the mobile application of the voice of america the application allows
