[000:00:00;00] to introduce separate carriages and it is interesting to talk about it from a technical and economic point of view. thank you, serhii fursak, representative of the investment group dragen capital newsone, kir was on our air, we talked with him as usual on monday about the key economic news that is currently being discussed in society and about what will happen during the week to be discussed in the future. i am andriy yanivskyi, the host of this program, together we will win . you are watching the program of the ukrainian voice of america service, time. i am nataliya leonova

. congratulations, they always said that they had nothing to add. about the situation in the belgorod region, however, they reminded that it is russia that is the aggressor in this war and that ukraine should decide how to conduct its military operations , stated the spokesman of the state department, matty miller, when asked to comment on the events around belgorod, the fighters of this volunteer corps and the russian freedom legion announced the beginning of the liberation of russia from of putin's regime, the governor of the belgorod region, vyacheslav glatkov , claims that a subversive intelligence group of the armed forces of the russian federation entered the territory of the region. they say that an operation is being carried out on the territory of the russian federation creation of a security zone with the participation of russian citizens, we made it very clear to the ukrainians that we do not allow and do not encourage attacks outside the borders of ukraine. but i think it is important to take a step back and remind the world that of course it was russia that started this war, it is russia that continues to attack the civilian population in ukraine russia is shelling schools, hospitals and

civilian infrastructure, so ukraine has the right to decide how it wants to conduct its military operations, but the aggressor in that war is russia, its allies and kiev, who when? how many more f-16 points will they transfer to ukraine, white house national security adviser jake sullivan said, he did not rule out that the us will focus on providing ukraine with aircraft from third countries, considering how many of them are stored in the warehouses of european allies, together with what to transfer to ukraine in 16 many details need to be clarified, and it will take several months in the best case , the head of the us air force, frankl, said on monday. promised to train ukrainian pilots on f16 fighter jets and the eu supports the rapid delivery of f16 fighter jets to ukraine, said the high representative of the eu and foreign policy, jose borel, the statement

was made in brussels, where the meeting of foreign ministers is taking place. about providing ukraine with f-16 depends on the usa as the manufacturer of these fighters national security adviser jaxavi he says that washington is currently negotiating with allies about on this issue, how do european leaders assess the prospects of kyiv receiving planes and which countries have already expressed their willingness to provide them to ukraine? so it is interesting, the truth is that although american-made planes are expected primarily from ukraine's european allies , at the moment there is no talk of any specific delivery batches, it is about creating assistance in creating support systems for ukraine for the use of such aircraft , as well as pilot training in relation to the statements

of the leaders, literally before our program an interesting statement was made by german chancellor olaf schulz who said, i will quote the delivery of the f-16 - it is rather a signal to russia , he said that russia cannot hope for success even if it expects a protracted war because support for ukraine will continue i think this is a very important wording about how ukraine's european partners consider their promise to support in the future and in particular the supply of such powerful weapons as fighter jets about the training of ukrainian pilots about the creation of infrastructure today the minister of foreign affairs of the eu spoke in brussels, as well as in poland the minister of defense of 11 northern nato countries and from there we hear signals that this matter is progressing

concretely and the representative of the european union of foreign affairs ep borel in brussels said that in his opinion the training of ukrainian pilots is already taking place, which is good what came from the group of seven that finally they decided to prepare the ground to provide ukraine with the jet fighters that it needs so i think that pilot training has already begun that is the first thing that is needed that soon we will be able to provide ukraine with such weapons, today we also discussed the prospects of holding exactly that peace for ukraine already this summer, at the moment we are observing the strengthening of calls for negotiations, so is this peace summit actually an attempt to somehow push ukraine to negotiations and what is the position of the europeans regarding the possibility dialogue with the russian federation regarding the possibility of a dialogue with russia, then i would say that

at this stage there are no specific hopes for this or any clear statements about the possibility of a direct dialogue with moscow on ending the war in ukraine has not heard of such at the moment, but we can see that there are international preparations for the conditions for possible such international councils or negotiations on the end of the war and on the conditions for peace. proposed in november to use the peace forum in paris as a platform for international negotiations, and today the representative of denmark stated that his country is ready

to hold such a forum even earlier in july, he he spoke here about the need to involve the widest possible range of countries, here are his words we support ukraine from the first day but it is clear that in order for such an alleged international meeting to bring results and achieve progress, it must not be just a meeting of states that have stood by ukraine all the time, it is necessary to interest and involve such states as india, brazil and china, and if ukraine with its friends, including denmark , succeeds in this, if ukraine considers that the time has come to hold such a meeting , it would be great and then the data obviously wanted i would like to host such a meeting with one of the candidates for the role of military polensky with president lula, but it never happened . is there any information why zelensky did not meet with the president? well, first of all, i would say

that brazil may be among the candidates , that is, among those who want to... to be a mediator in such possible negotiations rather than a candidate is possible much more powerful here, for example, it looks like france, which contributes to peace efforts and diplomatic efforts of ukraine by providing, for example, a plane for the ukrainian president on which he traveled first to the meeting of the summit of the arab countries and then to japan on the very walls, the meeting did not take place, as they say on both sides, due to some misunderstandings regarding planning, but it is clear that president lola was dissatisfied and upset with what he said and what happened, and with regard to mediation, despite such a problem there is an understanding that brazil , china, and other countries could play a role in such possible negotiations. thank you, bohdan, for your story

, our european correspondent bohdan followed the meetings of eu foreign ministers in brussels the meeting of the group of seven at the summit was especially marked by the visit of the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, who had the opportunity to convey the position of ukraine in personal conversations with world leaders. ukrainians with fourth- generation fighters, in particular the f-16 and, most importantly, the tone of all the statements of the leaders of the group of seven investigated the unchanging support for ukraine, an analysis by yulia yarmolenko from the fields of the hiroshima summit volyn of support from partners monumental shifts in the issue of fourth-generation fighter jets for ukraine sanctions against the russian military machine among the hair group and due to the personal participation of ukrainian

president volodymyr zelenskyi in it precisely the bilateral meetings on the summit fields became an opportunity for the leaders of the wall to announce a new aid to ukraine, the president there is another tranche of artillery, ammunition and armored vehicles, and the japanese premiers are sending additional trucks for the armed forces and a decision to accept for treatment wounded ukrainian soldiers will continue to be helped with demining, promised south korean president yun sok, new announcements should be expected and from canada , following the results of the meeting with the example of judo, president zelenskyi's main message is that no one is going to control the pace. this morning, i once again assured president zelenskyi together with all the leaders of the group of seven and our allies and partners around the world that we will not waver putin will not break our resolve we will

continue to provide economic humanitarian and security assistance to ukraine so that it is in a strong position as long as it is needed, the strategy of the group of seven is simple, our military , diplomatic and economic tools are all part of the ukrainian counter-offensive, one of the biggest news was the decision of the united states to join the coalition to provide ukraine with fourth-generation fighter jets , in particular f- 16 pilot training should begin already in the summer, and although the counteroffensive will not help with this, this obligation of the countries to strengthen the ukrainian air force on a long-term perspective and today the training mission is open to us, this is the first step forward. there is an appropriate number of months for the training of our pilots, i cannot tell you now how many aircraft we will manage to get , i cannot tell you exactly when it will be, we will speed it up because it is important for us

every day we lose people. at the end of his visit, president zelensky thanked the japanese people for their strong support, even here in hiroshima, while the group of seven meetings were held by the japanese, who organized several exhibitions in support of ukraine and peace, and this is how the organizer of one of them explained to me why the japanese empathize so much with such a distant ukraine. this is the first time in the history of japan when the japanese come out with the flag of another country. this is really the first time, because we feel the spirit of the samurai in the behavior of ukrainians. they are ready to die with their the country, its people, the rotanaba canvas was painted by children from the buchi art school, this is their interpretation of picasso's most famous anti-war work guernica, a project of the children's school of the beautiful and founded in 1995 for the 70th anniversary

after the atomic bombing of hiroshima, since then children from all over the world offer their reinterpretation of the work, which originally demonstrates the horrors of war . no, it is probably not in our power to ask for help from the leaders of the group ourselves, but i hope that after seeing the children's works, they will think about the future of ukrainian children not as politicians and officials and as people, i want to increase public publicity in order to find a way to achieve peace and the position of the leaders of the group of seven . what does this mean in practice? the basis of any calls for peace from hiroshima, japan yuliya yarmolenko voice of america ukrainian pilot

may need only 4-6 months to master f16 the training of two ukrainians who arrived in arizona in march on a familiar visit with such possible we also laundry agrees and the ukrainian mig-29 pilot with the call sign juice, in an interview with my colleague maria prus, he told how many modern fighter jets are at least necessary for ukraine and also what missions these planes could perform on the battlefield and in the defense of ukrainian cities from russian attacks, ukrainian pilots asked for 16 for a very long time , more than a year from the very beginning of the full-scale invasion, what were your emotions and impressions for the first time, these news started, well, in the match, emotions are mixed, first of all, of course, joy that finally, uh, there has been a shift, and on the other hand , it is not exactly a success, because uh, well , we are still waiting for uh, already formalized decisions, and

let's say more more detailed information about what kind of planes, how many planes, what kind of timings are there in this transfer of the preparation itself, since already a little bit some manipulations appear that the pilots are already preparing or already there, well , this does not correspond a little reality is necessary understand that this is a process. well, it's still not easy, and that's why, of course, the reaction is joyfully happy, but for now it's restrained, because after all , it's not like tomorrow, roughly speaking, we 'll burn out even at 4 p.m., but in any

case finally, the most important thing is the political barrier, it has been overcome and finally, uh, we can start this process already, if it is about the f16, then what are the main advantages or fighters can give the armed forces of ukraine right now, against which russian threats will they be ineffective, the most important , the most important, our problem at the moment, this there is inadequacy, inadequacy precisely in the capabilities of a-a in terms of the air, that is, countermeasures, first of all, countermeasures against russian fighters, and since at the moment they are essentially protesting us in the air, there is nothing to present due to the deep technological backwardness of our aircraft, and the next step - this is effective effective participation in air defense a-a let's say such uh-e multi-layered types

of air defense in which the role of the air air component should be very very such essence let's say so very effective and currently they are using our planes a-a unfortunately just like that, the activity is quite low and in the 16th it will fit very well into this combination together with petrels together with nasams and irises and so on and so on and up to the walls. that is, it is all different layers of one common such about air defense, then with regard to the counteroffensive, the president of the united states jubaiten said that 16 would not be effective or would not help the armed forces of ukraine in, for example, defensive battles or in a counteroffensive, and under what scenarios, in fact , they could be more

effective after all well, look, it's possible this is the position from a more er geopolitical point of view. and of course there are certain political reservations regarding such er statements and the supply of such weapons, but actually , looking at it from my level of competence , for example, a purely strategic level, then er -16 e-e is grandiosely effective for similar similar operations for similar conditions, that is, it would significantly help both for the defense of bakhmut and for the further counterattack . a grandiose effect, i.e. a lot of tasks. it could be done. please tell me if, according to the numbers

, the ukrainian aviation would now be needed in 16, and maybe in what order, although this is a lot, a lot has been said about it. it must be one full-fledged unit . that is, it must be a squadron of a squadron. there are different standards in different countries. it can have such a floating number, but the minimum minimum is 12 aircraft, and in principle there are up to 18-20 aircraft. that is, it is already a full-fledged combat a unit that is divided into units, and these units can have different tactical purposes, that is, this unit can independently conduct combat operations, and also interact with other types of aviation, and so on, and so on, and operate on such a wide range that

in the piece of the front of the front today there was a statement from zaboborali that, in his opinion , the training has already started a-a what is your information about this, it is possible that the preparatory stage of self-preparation of the training base, both material and methodical, is possible. ours pilots, the process has not yet been launched, so we have selected candidates, now all of them, let's say the lists and so on, have been provided by the partners , that is, they already know how many people we have trained eh well , the sequence is being prepared eh who will be there after whom to learn, and let’s say, they need to assess now, you can say, the bandwidth of their training units, and because it’s a coalition, that is, several countries are involved, they

need to agree on everything, that is, formally , you can consider that the process has started, but the pilots directly for now not wrong let's say the director of mgt raphael grossi called for the immediate protection of the zaporizhzhia npp, which was completely de-energized during russia's full-scale war against ukraine, money called the situation at the nuclear power plant extremely vulnerable in the ukrainian nuclear power plant, they said that on may 22, as a result of shelling, the plant experienced a blackout for the first time since the occupation on march 4 , 2022 due to shelling, the power line from the nuclear power plant was disconnected and all backup diesel generators were switched on automatically . energoatom president petro kotin called the situation russia hostage and experienced that the situation is constantly worsening, and the minister of energy of ukraine herman galushchenko warns of the threat of a repeat of the fukushima scenario. they said this in an interview

with our colleague myroslava gongadze - this is really one step towards the fukushima scenario that happened in japan when the supply was stopped then it happened because of the earthquake then diesel generators started working and then the water just covered these diesel generators and that's it and the accident happened in just a few hours this is our weekend in new york the legendary festival took place on seventh street it's already 47 celebration organized by the ukrainian community for the sake of this, the city is allowed to partially block the entire street on which the ukrainian church of st. yura is located, blocking the street is a privilege of the city authorities, it is allowed to do it out of respect for the long-standing tradition of holding the festival, according to the organizers of this year's festival, this year's festival was held under the slogan of unification by war, the festival was visited by iryna solomko and pavlo terekhov andriy stasiv , producer of the ukrainian festival on seventh

street, says this is his 15th event this year which past is special for the festival, in addition to producing the stasiv festival, the director of the saint george academy says that at the beginning of the war, 60 refugee students from ukraine joined his school, and i think that showing them ukraine in the diaspora will calm them down little by little, you know. i even saw many of them scream, but their do you know the localities or their houses? i think it will help them to hear ukrainian music a little. i saw ukrainian culture . the family only came to new york after the war, the boy sings well, that's why he was accepted and immediately joined the two choirs of the legendary thought and chorocademy with thought, even performed in carnagigol at the celebration of the centenary of the first performance of the ear of the generous man - it's powerful, one can feel such a ukrainian atmosphere, you know, it's not been felt like this for a long time.

there were ukrainian events here dedicated to ukrainians, but what is happening here now somehow raises the ukrainian spirit even more and digs it deeper and deeper, it has become more important. the city authorities are very supportive of both ukrainians and the west itself, and i believe that this is no longer a ukrainian festival, but a new york festival when the war broke out. last year, we think we won't have anyone. nobody wanted to sing and work, but the city called us and said , listen, you must have some words, or the forest of the world is watching you in ukraine, the festival , the organization of the joint academy and the church st. yura, where the abbot of the church is this ioana - this is the first festival. he says he is very moved by the fact that he can join this movement, because from the very beginning the festival was the calling card of the community in new york and was created in order to unite the ukrainian the community could tell the world about ukraine. this philosophy has not changed over the past 50 years . we are all already here united by this war - different

denominations and different states and people from different cities come. it is on the one hand that we are more united and on the other hand we can help more for the war and we can talk about it more vividly if in peacetime more ukrainian shopkeepers took part in the festival . brought to the festival valery zaluzhny the commander-in-chief of the ukrainian armed forces helps volunteers to raise money for dignitos drones, a new organization, its founders have been volunteering since 2014, but this year, according to dmytro kavun , the president of dignitos in the usa, the volunteers decided to join their efforts exclusively in helping the military, in particular with drones. we understood that the addict is very wrong, he hasn't been to america yet, we and so we brought the addict to america and now you can take a picture with him

and for a donation for photos of an addict, volunteers offered visitors to also use virtual reality to transport themselves to the ukrainian bridge destroyed by the russians, the guest house is sumshchyna, and with the help of virtual reality pr, you can put on glasses and see what happened. good, what happened after, that is , 30% of people who take off their glasses, they have tears in their eyes, americans are suitable ukrainians are suitable and i can't say that everyone likes them, but it is very important to see what exactly has happened to ukraine now. nataliya stashin is a volunteer of the liberty ukraine organization at the festival. she has a unique mission.

collects letters of support for the ukrainian military, because convinced moral support is no less important than financial, in fact, a lot of adults write, and especially a lot of americans who have a military education , men with military experience, and they also write a lot of words of support, for me it is such a sincere example of how and i was sent such a confirmation when our boys read our letters. that's why this photo is always with me yulia and iryna, their friends, their children, participants in the van that opened the festival they say the festival is a place of meeting and support, iryna peresylenko adds to the event for her also a piece of her native lviv in new york, probably even at a time like now , it is extremely important, and therefore not only to talk about yourself as about ukraine, about people, about ukrainians, to help in some way to raise funds or by any other method, but also for all of us to gather, for us as well as for him, the arrival of visiting people is very important

that we can come and see our own people again, our culture here, feel it all it is very acute for us right now and it seems to me that now we must be here , we must meet new people who came to tell them, but they also tell us and teach me, i feel that this is such a delicate issue now and we are more and more obliged to meet here ukrainian pop school yaroslavna and also an immigrant in april, he organized and held a competition called the voices of the ukrainian diaspora, the winners were invited to perform at the festival. and we are happy that a good young generation is growing up . ten-year-old sofia is very nervous before the performance, because this is the first big stage, she says she sings for and for the sake of ukraine, and we support our ukrainian traditions so that they live, that they flourish, that people

admire them, not only ukrainians , but also other peoples, and in particular in america there are a lot of them, and we are bringing our culture to such a wide range of people . daily briefings at 6 p.m. kyiv time on youtube and facebook, where you can ask our presenters your questions live. thank you for trusting the ukrainian voice of america service. i am nataliya lounova

. good night and good morning. we are looking for four children from a large family of dmytroniks . from mariupol, 14-year-old diana, 12-year-old timofey, eight-year-old etori and five-year-old demir. they all disappeared together with their father. and for more than a year , nothing is known about their fate. there were seven children in the dmytronik family. they all lived in high-rise buildings on 51 troitskyi street on the night of march 12 last year. a projectile hit this house. the story of the dmitrenka family was simply stunning. the mother of the missing children told me that she experienced real hell on march 13. the projectile is hot. to clarify what kind of projectile it was, because it had a very
