the dynamics, if only to take the fact that usually the third day of summits is a fairly calm day when it happens symbolic statements planting trees final press conferences but now it looks like sunday will be one of the key days of the day packed with various events and hopefully news and decisions if we we are talking about the journalists who were in the press center, they were fascinated by this news because it adds a raisin to it, but it also means that we can expect some concrete important decisions important for ukraine, and we have already seen it on the example of f16, we will monitor these statements and decisions yulia, what were the results of the first day, exactly how did it end ostap, this summit today , the first day also ended with certain specific results for ukraine from the point of view of supporting ukraine, today

the first working session on ukraine issues of the leaders took place group of seven and based on its results, they issued a joint big statement that covered a lot of points. but i singled out two important points for myself. first, almost immediately at the beginning of this statement, the leaders emphasized that they support only that peace that is based on fair conditions for the preservation sovereignty of ukraine and they said that the most important thing in this is that any negotiations cannot take place until russia withdraws its troops from the territory of ukraine they said if anyone has any peace proposals peaceful proposals of negotiations. they should be based on this and the second important thing is sanctions. today the leaders of the group of seven introduced new sanctions against russia. these sanctions are aimed at limiting russia's military machine and preventing it from continuing its aggression . let's listen to what the leaders said in this statement on sanctions we will continue

to limit russia's access to our economies building on previous measures taken to prevent russia's access to resources to support key sectors of its military-industrial base, we will expand our actions to ensure export restrictions on all items critical to russian aggression, including those used by russia on the battlefield , including exports of industrial equipment , tools and other technologies that russia uses to rebuild its war machine, we will continue to target those who work in these key sectors such as as construction production and transport as well as business services, we will deprive russia of group of seven technology, industrial equipment and services that support its war machine and ostap the united states has already today announced the introduction of sanctions against russia, they specifically concern

300 people from companies that helped russia avoid or use lezit and to avoid sanctions and also introduced export controls, export restrictions against 70 one company precisely to limit russia's ability to continue the war , these sanctions were also carried out do you know another message from the leaders of the semena a group that ukraine wanted to hear ? serhii korsunskyi, the ambassador of ukraine to japan, told you about it, and it is a message about inadmissibility the use of nuclear weapons, did it sound ostape, you know it sounded and today the leaders of the group of seven started their morning by going to the peace memorial , the peace memorial is just behind me , this place is literally kilometers from here, this is the place where the actual atomic bomb fell and we we know the extreme destruction it brought to this city almost immediately 100,000 people died we still don't know how many people died

over the years from diseases caused by radiation and today the leaders visited this memorial, they once again reminded them of the horrors of the use of nuclear weapons, and they issued a statement based on today's results , which emphasized several important points . they said that 77 years have passed since the moment when nuclear weapons were used, and they say that this moment has no will never happen again, and that is why today they absolutely condemn the unacceptable nuclear threats coming from russia, they say that russia has no right to do this, it is dangerous and irresponsible for a country that has nuclear potential, they also separately called on russia to stop its absolutely irresponsible actions at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, because this also creates a huge danger not only for ukraine, but also for europe and the world in general. therefore, these messages of the ostaps

sounded today, tomorrow we know that a series of important events will take place meetings and later already on sunday, when the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy is expected to be here, we expect that based on the results of these meetings, his speech, but also possible bilateral meetings, sounding a lot of important not only statements, but also decisions for ukraine, we will be sure to follow the news in the following days, that's exactly yuliya. thank you very much for your work. yuliya yermolenko was in direct contact from hiroshima on our air recently, the united states, in coordination with the countries of the group of seven, announced the introduction of more than 300 new sanctions against individuals and institutions that help the kremlin evade restrictions and purchase goods for the russian military-industrial complex, these sanctions are emphasized by the american ministry of finance aimed at reducing the kremlin's ability to wage war against ukraine, the restrictions are also aimed at reducing russia

's income and from the sale of energy resources, the largest buyer of russian oil after the full-scale invasion of ukraine by russia became india, according to bloomberg data, the export of russian crude oil has now reached its highest level in early 2022, despite western sanctions russia found new buyers outside of europe, but this significantly affected its profits . dmytro kolchynsky will tell more. russia supplied an average of 3 million 660 thousand points of crude oil per day during the four weeks to may 5 of this year. such data from bloomberg is the highest level at the beginning of 2022. almost all oil is supplied to china and india, and smaller volumes to egypt and turkey. repeated to ukraine in february 2022. russia supplied to the european union 1. 5 million barrels of oil per day, but western countries have reduced this trade to almost zero, and currently only bulgaria imports

russian oil and yumpochok. russia stopped exporting crude oil to the eu, instead began selling to egypt and india, in turn, i looked for other suppliers and found them before. we made mistakes in this one. we cannot bring back the past. now we must stop importing russian energy, despite the search for new buyers . are reducing russia's profits. last week, the kremlin said that export revenue last month fell by 67%, that is, to $6.4 billion. russia is suffering. you can look at the data. yes, moscow found new

oil buyers, but at a lower price. trades at a discount compared to other types of oil and new buyers are not as attractive as old new buyers are also geographically much further away resulting in an average delivery time of 16 to 18 days compared to four to six days and pre-war deliveries to european neighbors in russia about this is reported by heroters. in addition, the west is trying to convince allies such as india to import less russian oil . us secretary of state anthony blinking spoke about this during a meeting with indian government officials. each of us kissed, we encourage countries to buy additional energy carriers from russia, each country is located differently geographically, has different needs, but we expect allies and partners not to increase purchases of russian energy carriers, of course these

countries are sovereign states and have their own interests, but even this option export for russia is bad, analysts say that a certain amount of russian oil that enters the european markets is difficult to trace because it can be easily mixed with with other cargoes in transit countries or at sea, in addition, the complex organization of shipping companies and the flags of ships in the complex application of sanctions encumbered metro kolchinsky voice of america, in its turn , ukraine demands to expel russia from the european bank for reconstruction and development , to get rid of the toxic presence of russia in the bank , which should play a leading role on behalf of the structure of ukraine, the minister of finance of ukraine oleksandr marchenko called, some shareholders immediately responded to the proposals of ukraine and reminded that the whole issue has not been resolved and you shouldn't forget about him, talk about it in the comments of oksana badrota, the director of ukraine in

yebrr , artem shevalov, told us that we voiced this issue from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, starting there from the first days in march. last year, we succeeded in suspending the access of russia to resources, but of course that is not a full-fledged exclusion and we have now once again voiced our position that we believe that the presence of russia is toxic and for such international organizations as the hebrews , but it also applies to other international organizations of practical sense, er, maybe this one will not have a car in the sense that the share of russia in europe is relatively small . it does not affect the decisions that are made, but it cannot be established simply. not physically, they are still afraid to return to the bank's headquarters, but virtually. they participate in

the work of our governing bodies, and in principle. well , we think that if we talk about the reputation of such leading organizations, it's simple it is inappropriate because it then accordingly calls into question the reputation of one's own institution, at the same time the key decision that was made today is the start of work on increasing the bank's capital so that it can significantly increase investments in ukraine and well, agree, it will be a little inappropriate and somehow not even incomprehensible if russia will make decisions about ukraine's future investments, being the very terrorist that is in harm's way. the united states will never forget the people in crimea and other temporarily occupied territories of ukraine and will contribute because russia was brought to justice, the us deputy secretary of state for civilian security, democracy and human rights stated this. she

met with the wife and daughter of vladyslav yesipenko, a journalist connected to crimea, on several occasions. they came to washington to wear the victims' to remind the ukrainian tatars about the ongoing repressions on the peninsula , iryna shynkarenko and oleksiy usyka will tell more , instead of live communication with dad vladyslav yesipenko, stefania has been writing letters to him in prison in crimea for two years, she says how do i live, what do i do, what do we do with my mother at home, he calls me a star there , little girl, i love you, stephanie and her mother, kateryna , came from kryvyi rih to washington to call for help to free vladyslav yesipenko, a freelance journalist of radio svoboda, from prison in crimea, who was detained by fsb officers in march 2021. vladyslav is in a colony in the city of kerch. from there, he

already has the opportunity to call e. rarely once in one and a half and it is clear that these conversations are being listened to. and if you sit quietly, you will serve a fine sentence. this is direct language. the fsb accused yosypenko of possessing an explosive device . a russian judge in crimea sentenced him to 5 years in prison. yesypenko gave his testimony vladyslav, one of the citizen journalists who was against the occupation, was beaten out by torture. journalists who are not at all loyal to the temporary occupation authorities in crimea, they do not work there and cannot work. all the others have either left or are in prison or simply killed, according to the estimates of the us state department, russian forces receive at least 150 political prisoners from crimea, most of them crimean tatars, there are many journalists about this at a meeting with the isipenko family in the ukrainian

house in washington , the us deputy secretary of state for civil security , democracy and human rights said in the face of exposure the truth cost him his freedom and it cost his family, husband and father kateryna. we support you, protect you and wish you further courage. we also hear that first of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine last year, the people of crimea fear that the world has forgotten their fate i am here to confirm that the united states will never forget the people of crimea and all others in ukraine who suffer from russia's brutal occupation of the united states is helping to hold russia accountable for its actions using all available diplomatic means in zrazze i noted that since february last year, the united states has imposed more than 7,000 sanctions and visa restrictions against russian criminals and believes that

constant pressure will work ms. ambassador of ukraine to the usa oksana markarova convinces the issue of the release of detainees is one of the main issues during cooperation with the us authorities, in fact, the huge work that we constantly conduct with the state department, everything related to publicity and assistance to us in e-e investigations of crimes and raising this the question of the maximum level of support for president zelenskyi in all his initiatives related to both the exchange of prisoners and the demands for the release of all our detainees and especially journalists and especially the people detained in crimea, this is a constant focus of the work, that is, most of it is not public, of course, in support of the families of illegally detained ukrainians, and in the american congress, the chairman of the us senate committee on international relations , democrat bob minendez, recently joined the project of the human rights commission of the house of representatives of the congress defendin freedoms from the protection of 14 crimean journalists illegally

imprisoned by russia, one of the best ways to achieve progress is the dissemination of information and the relentless advocacy that many here to all my crimean and ukrainian friends, know that i will continue to support ukraine in its efforts to expel russia from your homeland, including the return of crimea, and i also say to those prisoners and their families who are going through this terrible trauma, you know that even in putin's darkest cells, you are not the forgotten president of radio svoboda jamie fly hopes for an exchange of prisoners that will include civilians in particular and journalist yesipenko and notes that

it is extremely difficult to get true information about what is happening in crimea now the task has become much more difficult than collecting information from crimea, but taking into account the technology, taking into account the fact that there are people on the ground, brave spectators who want to share the truth about life under occupation with those outside its borders. we can still get some information from crimea, you cannot completely block the truth is that crimea cannot be completely fenced off from the rest of ukraine, meanwhile , it has shrunk by more than 90%, so the truth about the scale of the atrocities committed by the occupation authorities can only be imagined iryna shynkarenko oleksiy osika voice of america from its side the head of almost a forest of the crimean tatar people, refet chubarov, said that he would also demand that those guilty of the genocide of the crimean tatars be brought to justice and insist on the creation of international mechanisms that would make a new russian

aggression impossible. he said this in an interview with my colleague natalka chorikova. for this crime will it require that when russia is brought to justice in international courts that the crimes against the crimean tatars establish a separate part of these implementations and should they be considered a genocide in the early 90s or 30 years ago they returned en masse to crimea, there was a dilemma, and what should we do with our homes, the homes of our parents , many of which have been preserved, but strangers lived there , and at that time our senior participants, leaders of the national movement, they told us young people that these people are not guilty. they may

be morally responsible, but they were settled there by the government that nominated us. and therefore we cannot demand that they leave our homes. i understand that our elders then were afraid of what we all listened to such manifestations of radicalism on our part, on the part of the young people, and in all the years of return there was not a single case when someone came and told the person who lives in his house - he said get out , you have lived long enough, but this is my house and i will live in our house, there is no one nearby we took the land, we built, after all, another reason why i am saying this in such detail. i am saying this because it is an axiom that unpunished evil has the property of returning even bigger, such large-scale troves, that is what we, i would now

mean all of us and myself and the crimean tatars and ukrainians, ukraine as a whole, the world that we could not punish and name and condemn here the man of hateful ideology of the soviet communist regime, which led to a million in such victims, we have now received a new aggression from russia and the last story for today about the american writer michael senson, who wrote a children's book which presents the history of ukraine through its national anthem, the profits from the sale of the author will go to help ukrainian children , and the presentation of the book in colorado was visited by svitlana prostinska and volodymyr petroniv resident of colorado mark dielen came to buy a book about the history of ukraine for his grandchildren and the children of ukrainian immigrants whom he helps. i want to give them something practical that will give
