[000:00:00;00] she willingly agreed to the occupiers' offer to become a supporter of the russian peace and began working for the rashist collaborator. she was appointed to the educational and methodological center for a managerial position. the traitor continues to support russian education standards , in particular , she promotes russian textbooks. oblast this is how her page on the social network vkontakte looks now , a solid tricolor cheburashka and postina support of the so-called sfo degradation simply on what can this traitor teach you, how to sell the motherland for wooden rubles, so while the occupied part of the kherson region is waiting for the armed forces of ukraine, remember the traitors, we will break this grid of ice and the bunker cockroach will disappear immediately, and everyone who burns our

of the conference, what moments would you single out, what steps have already been announced that create such a future for ukraine and about which secretary of state blinking spoke during the conference, in fact, the speech of the american secretary of state, as well as the address of the ukrainian president, and also when the foreign ministers took the stage here in london and other high-ranking officials of a number of leading european countries. i think that this was, to a certain extent , impressive. i think that this in itself was a very vivid display of solidarity with ukraine, and it is very important, of course, in addition to what was promised by the representatives of the states, representatives of governments and organizations, as well as the commitments undertaken by the representatives of the companies, the host of this

meeting, in fact, the prime minister rishi, the image sounded very convincingly ukraine is a huge step to help policyholders guarantee investment in ukraine to remove one of the biggest obstacles and give investors the necessary confidence, we are sending a message that our support on the battlefield and beyond will continue and the incredible spirit of ukraine will win, it is clear that russia must pay for the nerve damage involved, that is why we are working with allies to investigate legal ways of using bohdan's russian assets. the usa announced a significant amount of aid, one billion and 300 million dollars . ukraine says that it now needs a total of 410 billion for reconstruction, and this figure is growing. well, what other participants of

the conference promised to ukraine well, it should be emphasized again that it is about a conference that, in principle, should encourage business, that is , entrepreneurs of companies that actually earn money to invest, invest in ukraine, but also of course, in particular today, on the first day of this conference, representatives of states and institutions spoke. well, perhaps the most impressive figure was the one announced by the president of the european commission, ursula deryan, who said that the european union plans to allocate 50 billion to help ukraine over the next 24-27 years. euros, that is, it is about different amounts , sometimes they accumulate because they were announced earlier, now it is announced again

, then individual pieces from general packages are announced, and so on and so on. but the most important thing is, after all, the discovery solidarity with ukraine and showed readiness to help because the fact is that this is really a bill, so to speak, or a check that will surely have to be covered as a result of what is happening, the experience is happening in ukraine is constantly growing, and those over 400 billion dollars who often mention this figure used to estimate damages in fact, in the first 12 months of the war, as of march, the war continues and, according to some predictions, the cost of rebuilding ukraine can easily exceed a trillion dollars. bohdane, president zelensky addressed the participants of the conference

by video link what did the allies hear from him and what messages did the ukrainian delegation bring to london? ukrainians declare that they are ready to work already on the fact that ukraine actually , despite the fact that millions of ukrainians have gone abroad, but also the tens of millions who remain working and need serious help, and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi, addressing the participants of the conference via video link , emphasized the desire for specific programs, for example . efforts not only to restore, for example, e-e infrastructure and e-e energy enterprises in ukraine, but also to update them

, that is, not only to restore what was destroyed, but also to create new opportunities in ukraine , in particular, the glory of the ukrainian president at this conference. to agreements, and from agreements to real projects , a ukrainian delegation is present in london, which will present concrete things that we propose to do together at the moment. nowhere in the world is it necessary to build and reconstruct as many objects as in ukraine every new day russian aggression brings new ruins, thousands and thousands of destroyed houses and destroyed enterprises , recently russia also committed the biggest crime of ecocide in europe by blowing up the dam and other structures of the kakhova hpp bohdana, how are you already huge amounts of both aid and investments, did the conference participants talk about the introduction

of a mechanism that would guarantee targeted use of this assistance, how do they plan to provide protection against potential risks a-a it will be very difficult one of the ways to promote investments will be er-e government guarantees, for example, the british government talked about three billion dollars of guarantees for loans from the world bank for investments in ukraine, that is, businesses want to work even in dangerous conditions , but they need guarantees that in case , for example, i don’t know if a rocket or a bomb will fall on their company, that the losses will somehow be compensated, protected, that they will not go bankrupt, and in particular, for example , the representative of the european business association spoke today about the importance of such

guarantees and security for entrepreneurship when i spoke today with the voice of america and it is good if there is a guarantee of essentially political military risks or insurance against it. but nevertheless , a mechanism for protecting the sky would be much better, that is, so that we understand by military means that if, in essence, safe things are protected, it’s true and therefore, if the investor will understand that he can relatively safely invest in the territory of the country, if, in addition, they see that the process of movement into the european union is taking place and it is accompanied by appropriate reforms inside countries well, i assure you that even if the war continues, everything will be fine, business will invest in

the state . thank you bohdan for this detailed information. the cost of the weapons he sent to ukraine over the past two years is more than $6 billion, about twice as much as previous estimates, the surplus will be used for future aid packages, the statement said the press secretary of the pentagon, sabrina singh, according to her, the department of defense took into account the cost of replacing the equipment and not its book value when transferring equipment from the pentagon's warehouses to ukraine, as a result, the department has additional money that can be used to support ukraine during its counteroffensive against russia, singh said. we confirmed that

the final calculation for the fiscal year 2023 is 3 billion 600 million us dollars and for the fiscal year 2022 is 2 billion 600 million dollars, i.e. the total amount is 6 billion, 200 million us dollars, these miscalculations have not in any way limited the size of any of our aid packages or affected the provision of support to ukraine, and while the department of defense retains the authority to use these funds, it in no way affects congressionally appropriated funding for the programs of military support to ukraine, the resolution calling on the biden administration to provide ukraine with high -range atakams missiles was supported in the foreign affairs committee of the house of representatives , the document was voted for by an overwhelming majority the delay in providing more significant aid to ukraine, in particular long-range missiles, only prolongs the war, the text of the resolution

says that approval in the committee allows the document to be voted on by the entire house of representatives. if the document is approved , legislators will be able to increase pressure on the biden administration to provide ukraine with long-range missiles, this resolution calls on the biden administration provide ukraine with attack missiles it was created by a bipartisan effort and such missiles are critical for ukraine's success in the counteroffensive they have a range of more than 300 km that will allow the ukrainians to strike the territory that is now controlled by russia i hope that we can take a step forward and maintain our bipartisan support that is

especially important as ukraine continues its counteroffensive to liberate its territories, the united states, together with our partners and allies, must consider all the ways we can help ukraine defeat and bring us all closer to peace more than one and a half thousand munitions on an area of ​​10 hectares in one week were found in the mykolaiv region by deminers of the international non-governmental organization halotrust this company has been working in ukraine since 2014, but after the full-scale offensive of russia , it stopped working in donbas until its deoccupation currently she carries out major works in the kharkiv and mykolaiv oblasts for demining in the mykolaiv oblast anna kostyuchenko and pavel

suhodosky observed 45-year-old tetyana fedyuk works i have been a deminer for more than 5 years, and i like that it is a useful job. i know for myself that we liked to go to the field and take a walk. my children loved it . worked as a milkmaid for 17 years, in 2014 , the border area near her was mined due to the danger of a russian invasion, so there were almost no safe pastures left, a single woman with two children was unemployed for about 4 years, and then dared to become a deminer well, of course, the first set with the second, i was afraid of the first set, it was scary at first, but suddenly we did not succeed. courses

in february, there were two more girls from our village, and when they started working , i liked it. humanitarian demining in more than 30 countries of the world to detect explosive objects involves the local population in ukraine helotros currently employs more than 700 people, says program manager peter smith, despite the large amount of ammunition per square meter , there have been no accidents, he assures us, we have excellent safety indicators in ukraine in seven years there was not a single incident peter smith has considerable experience in working with explosive devices because he served 33 years in the british army he retired in the rank

colonel, but decided that his military experience would be needed in the humanitarian sphere, including the peter trust, joined in 2018 in ukraine, the institution has been working since 2016 until the full-scale invasion, they worked around kramatorsk and mariupol, then they were involved in the clearing of the liberated territory in kyiv , chernihiv and sumy regions, currently the main work is underway in kharkiv oblast and mykolaiv oblast, during demining operations in mykolaiv oblast, workers find a wide variety of ammunition, from anti-personnel mines to cartridges to rifle weapons and grenade launchers in only one area, an area of ​​10 hectares, workers found more than 1,500 explosive objects in a week, the yellow and white top indicates the place where the explosive object was found, there is a mark that was found written in both 17 in addition to the manual examination of the territory for the presence of explosive objects, workers helotras also use special

equipment, this happens in areas where there is a danger against infantry mines with streamers, or not hemingways in ukraine, we find a lot of grenades on streamers anti-personnel mines of the ozm-72 type and fragmentation mines, it is very dangerous one of the methods of detecting them manually, it means to slowly and carefully examine the ground, it is a very slow and dangerous method, so when possible we involve equipment that we can send forward, it cuts the grass and bushes and at the same time eliminates the danger stretchers according to safety standards, workers are behind a special shield at a distance of at least 50 m from the working equipment 24 local agricultural production will have to work covers more than 10,000 hectares this

share ownership of local landowners , last year the village was occupied by russian occupiers . that is why it was not possible to collect what was sown - says the manager of the enterprise, ivan hobokan. they just shot, smashed, tore up like excuse me, like doctors, look like monkeys, the newspaper since march of this year, local residents tried to demine the land with their own efforts , six tractors were blown up in these attempts - he says ivan, we were going to put 800 anti-tank guns into a heap on one field, we took them to one heap, now, at the moment , about one and a half thousand hectares are untouched to search for explosives in mykolaiv oblast , heilo-trust specialists started from the middle of this spring. hectares this year they will be sown with flax and sunflower

because it is not the season to sow grain. i think our work is of global importance because we work on agricultural land, it is not only about people who can die or get injuries ukraine has a great responsibility to feed the world and we must exert our efforts to try to minimize the global catastrophe by direct disposal of explosive objects hella trans is not engaged in this, perry is involved in the state emergency service of ukraine anna kostyuchenko pavel sukhodolskyi for the voice of america from the mykolaiv region from the beginning in of the full-scale invasion , 60,000 children passed through the children's hospital of the first medical association of lviv, 350 of them were seriously injured, their stories

of rescue have become a part of life for doctors due to the large number of patients. this summer, a separate children's rehabilitation department was opened here and fundraising for equipment was announced. to move the hands under the supervision of physiotherapist serhiy hody she was a bomb shelter with her family completely the whole family if on s9 people and according to eyewitnesses it was just a tank shot bomb shelter tragic events for veronika's family took place in ugledar at the beginning of april 2022. the family was hiding from shelling in the basement of a nine-story building. after 13 months, the girl listed their names with effort. the basement did not help. grandma nina was papa. anton was mama

, but i don't remember. aunt was anya. uncle. was oleg only thanks to the fact that her family and grandmother and grandfather covered her with themselves, she was the only one of all those who were in that room managed to survive, she had a rather large fragment, one in her head and the other in her neck, and therefore when she got to us, part of her body was immobilized in spite of all the risks, the neurosurgical team operated on her, that is, the fragment itself. it was located very close to large vessels, damaging which, unfortunately, she would not survive. and they brought her unconscious in a critical condition under the supervision of rehabilitators and nurses in lviv. for several months, veronika learned to walk and hold objects in our hands to smile every morning we came we didn't have time to change our clothes yet she was waiting for us and when we were going home she cried sincerely and didn't believe that we would come and when she asked us where

we are leaving, it was difficult for us to say that we are going home, knowing that she has nowhere to return to, difficulties arose with the fact that she did not remember who's name when she asked where is your girlfriend, this little one or this big one, we knew who she was, she just couldn't remember, it took about an hour or two for us to score again. what's your name? we used to train memory with her. you have children . i remember you. you don't remember a year. veronika visits her friends in the hospital, but not as a patient anymore. 11 everyone here remembers last year's day well the birth of veronika, which fell during the period of her active rehabilitation. she was just happy that she was finally

going outside. oh, mom, after treatment, the girl lives in a family-type orphanage and usually attends high school. a year ago, it was hard to believe. friends and that's why today is the best day for me, she has experienced a lot , probably more than conventionally any person can endure, and what she has witnessed , unfortunately, she also does not disappear without a trace and having such severe psychological injuries, it took time and it still takes time for the conversation to fully and psychologically recover in order to be able to fully raise her hand up in order not to lose those skills that somewhere in her are inadequately used now, therefore periodic rehabilitation courses are necessary and further work with her, of course, she is needed veronika is one of the 350 seriously injured children who

were saved at the beginning of the war in the hospitals of the first medical association of lviv, such cases are forever remembered as sergiivka's brothers, a rocket hit their house, mother died, stepfather died, only they survived, sofia from mykolaiv, there was actually a cluster munition, and the fragment itself came through the frontal area and stopped in the back of the head. so remember they become a part of our life at the beginning of the russian invasion the first medical association became the largest ukrainian medical hub of surplus in one and a half years of the war , a separate rehabilitation center nezlamnian broken was created here and now opened inpatient department of children's rehabilitation in order to purchase modern equipment for it announced a charitable collection in the amount of 35 million hryvnias if we were talking about 600 patients a year for whom we provided e-e rehabilitation, then

thanks to this expansion and we are talking about 1200 patients at least a thousand ukrainian children were injured because of the war, according to unicef estimates, the early numbers are significantly higher than mine. well, for yura dankevich for the voice of america from lviv and from the first families of refugees to the usa, the kovalchuks became the main characters of the documentary film display - displacement branch from junior hollywood director and producer not only documented their lives for almost a year, but also helped with housing khrystyna shevchenko will tell their story the kovalchuk family returned to their native cherkasy from los angeles , where people are so calm, a few weeks ago

the psychological consequences of the war so the life of the kovalchuks became the subject of research by a documentarian psychological cruelty and how is to be pushed out of your life and just explore that aspect i was very interested gil together with a team of like-minded people every week documented where no kovalchuk in america and how she adapts to a new country you know he when he asked me questions on the film, it felt like i was talking with freud, probably with a psychologist with such mega experience who can look into your soul and it was very cool, very serious, they took the movie very seriously and the most important thing is that there the hope that the film will help someone, refugees or ukraine , the director was most impressed by the fact that a family of successful doctors could not find a job in the usa by profession, the language barrier and
