[000:00:16;00] congratulations on the broadcast of the program of the ukrainian voice of america time, i am its presenter ostap yarysh the united states did not see violations of the use of american weapons that were provided to ukraine, although russia continues to spread a percentage of disinformation about this, said official lara cooper at the hearings in the american congress, she added that although the course of the war dynamic unpredictable the united states has great confidence in the capabilities of the armed forces of ukraine to liberate the territories occupied by russia , the hearings were closely monitored by our congressional correspondent kateryna lisonova, we will ask her more questions, katya. i congratulate you. wait, we are listening to you. they generally referred to the russian war in ukraine and the expected nato summit in

vilnius, which is scheduled for this july . in addition to lara cooper , a representative of the state department also testified in front of the congressmen . they asked about the prospects for accession . ukraine's entry into nato as he outlined them katya ostape ukraine's entry into nato was generally a red line during yesterday's hearings in the committee, in particular, the legislator was also emphasized like the united states of america and other nato member countries should create a specific plan regarding ukraine's accession to nato and ukraine's membership in the alliance, answering this question , the representative of the state department stated in particular that during the holiday with nato next month, they will raise at least three questions on - first, the member countries of the alliance will once again confirm their unwavering support for ukraine and also confirm their unwavering loyalty to the declarations of the nato summit held in bucharest in 2008, when they announced that

ukraine would become a member of the new nato. during the summit in vilnius next month, they promise to provide additional assistance to the country about the three most recent issues concerning ukraine that will be raised during the nato summit in vilnius next month. assistance from nato, which ukraine needs to defeat russia, secondly, we are an unprecedented package of long-term aid, which indicates the long-term plans of the alliance to support this long-term support is focused precisely on ukraine's preparation for becoming a nato member in the future by promoting reforms in accordance with nato standards, and thirdly , nato is also preparing to renew its partnership with ukraine by creating a special consultative body, the ukraine nato council, where ukraine will sit on an equal footing with its allies to promote political dialogue. as well as

the euro-atlantic aspirations of ukraine, at the same time both ukraine and the allies agree that kyiv cannot join the alliance during an active conflict, but nato can provide ukraine should receive the long-term support needed to promote the reform program so that ukraine is ready to join the alliance when the conditions allow. at these hearings, they also talked about providing ukraine with additional weapons , in particular long-range missiles for attacks. they asked why, despite numerous calls, this has not happened yet. in principle, kyiv should count on such in the near future . that's right. the last provision of high-range missiles to ukraine was the second most discussed topic during the hearings yesterday, and it's not surprising because during these hearings, both democrats and republicans presided over congressmen who are co-sponsors of the resolution calling on the white house to provide ukraine with long-range attack missiles as soon as possible. commenting on this issue

, the representative of the ministry of defense of the united states of america laura cooper said that primarily the provision of such missiles depends on their availability in the united states of america itself , i suggest listening to her comment just now, i think there are many possibilities that are useful in practice and when we considered apekims we also took into account other practical considerations such as the availability of these missiles as well as the availability of other replacement systems and right now we are seeing the effectiveness of the storm shadow systems provided by great britain and we consider their work to be quite effective , the biden administration opposed providing attacks because they considered it an escalation step as in the end other weapons but as you just mentioned the british have already provided their own missiles to the generous side and putin has not reacted or the possibility of an escalation of the conflict remains

one of your concerns concerns concerns the practical aspects of the availability of these missiles, as well as whether there are other systems such as storom shedel or ground-launched small-diameter bombs that will be available this fall and other systems including unmanned aerial vehicles that can hit the same targets, it is interesting that during these services even though they have repeatedly raised the issue of providing ukraine with american cluster munitions, the so-called dipikam, the legislators claim that this will become an important countermeasure to the russian cluster bombs that moscow uses in it is important for ukraine to note here that in 2008 , during a special convention, 123 states agreed that cluster munitions should be banned, but the united states of america is not a signatory to this convention, the statements say

. atakams and the decision on their provision, you know, but not only ukraine, uh , it was related to yesterday's hearings, they also discussed the situation in nato and the entry of other potential members, in particular, they touched on the issue of hungary, katego can tell in more detail about what was going on? in fact, this is a very interesting moment, because the question of further cooperation between hungary and the united states of america is being raised more and more often in the united states of america, and this question was also raised during the hearings yesterday, in particular, the legislators discussed with representatives of the biden administration about what the future relations with of each of the united states of america with hungary, taking into account the fact that hungary continues to strengthen its cooperation without prior cooperation with russia and also even blocks the entry into nato to new members such as sweden, and i will mention this. what's wrong with that, too? i apologize. last week, the republican senator jam ryz also took a very important step. he blocked the sale

of american weapons to hungary and he himself explained it precisely because he wants to put pressure on the hungarian government to start cooperating. know more because, as the countries stated directly in the comments for the voice of america , if hungary wants to be a partner, i want to be a member of nato, they should act as partners and members of nato absolutely katya very thank you for your explanation for your work kateryna alisanova was in touch with us from kapitoriya hill meanwhile, the united states and other countries called on the un to investigate the military cooperation between russia and iran, in particular the ambassador from the templates linda thomas greenfield accused russia and ran violations of the resolution of the un security council according to the current meeting of the security council where this topic was raised by our un correspondent iryna solomenko iryna i congratulate you so for a start

tell me in more detail that this is a statement about russia tyran and what does it even talk about? ostap congratulations. and this statement was actually prepared quite a long time ago, and in it the three permanent members of the security council are the united states, france and great britain, joined by ukraine and albania, calling on the un to finally respond to this military cooperation in substance between russia and iran, which violates the un resolution, which prohibits any country, not only a permanent member of the security council, but also a permanent member of the security council, from receiving any weapons without the appropriate permission of this body, and since the security council did not consider this issue, these countries, accordingly, came out with this statement and from this with this topic, linda thomas greenfield even began today's speech at the ride-security meeting, which concerned ukraine, now you can hear it, we know that the kremlin purchased hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles and is now working hard on their production inside russia and we know that in recent weeks the kremlin has used these unmanned

aerial vehicles to destroy the ukrainian infrastructure and the killing and terrorizing of civilians, the united nations must implement security council resolution 2231, we still have no explanation why an expert on the movement of 22:31 was not sent to ukraine to verify the evidence of the origin of these weapons and the destruction that these weapons have caused, the un must act it is urgently a matter of life or death of the ukrainian people. ostap also states in this statement that, for example, the united states has documented and has evidence that russia received more than 100 drones, in addition, great britain and ukraine provided this evidence to the un, which is why there must be some reaction against it. it is interesting that it was the russian ambassador vasyl ne benzi who literally jumped on the assigned after there linda thomas greenfield and colleagues made their statement accordingly and he told journalists that now you will hear pravdy categorically

denied the use of these drones by russia and at the end when the journalists asked him why then russia is against the un starting its own investigation of this question and he said that according to the position of russia, there are no relevant experts in this group, which was created as part of this resolution. from russia, did she try to raise the topic of peace talks at this meeting of the security council, but this is a topic during the type , in particular, she said that for the first time, how many of us paid attention to the fact that the conflict became unpredictable, it simply worsened and was this is more of an escalation and, accordingly, this is as a response to this, and diplomatic efforts have also intensified in order for odesa to be held accordingly and peace talks to begin

, she did not say much about what exactly she was talking about in moscow, unfortunately, she did not give details, but she said that he was ready to any will support any efforts that will lead to, well, that is, to this peace treaty, but she noted that , of course, in this context, international organizations and un member states must be guided exclusively by statutes and international norms that accordingly protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine. in addition, among the important messages that she voiced, which included , for example, the number of missile attacks and drone attacks, and it tripled in may, and in addition to that, for example, also the un has registered 158 sexual crimes, most of which were committed by russian military remnants. iryna is another topic. earlier, russia declared that it would not

continue its participation in grain agreements. there is some reaction to this, yes, ostap, you talked about it a lot today during the meeting, and ibikarlo talked about it , in particular, she said that in may, in fact, the volume of exports reached the lowest level since the beginning of the agreement, it is now only one e 1.3 million a-a accordingly, a-a metric tons of grain are exported in october, when this hour began, it was 4.3 million, and this is why the situation is not easy. on the eve of russia several times said that from july 18 the agreement will not be valid and now you can hear accordingly the position of the united states which was presented by lin and thomas greenfield weapons and thus he exacerbated the issue of global food security for a long time russia blocked

ukrainian grain in the black sea grain that helps feed much of the world , especially africa and the middle east. this is what makes the black sea grain initiative such an important deal that we must continue next month for the benefit of all and why it is deeply alarming that russia is once again the only country that threatens to withdraw from the initiative of the new grain harvest in ukraine and russia. this agreement is gaining even more importance, colleagues. we must call on russia to remain in the black sea grain initiative. iryna solomko spoke to us from the un headquarters in in the last week, we have been talking a lot in the west about the ukrainian counteroffensive, the former commander of nato forces in europe, general filibridlav

, calls not to put pressure on ukraine and to give it time on offensive actions, in his opinion, the bolt is currently in the early phase of a military operation and is preparing for how and where to use most of its forces , my colleague from the georgian voice of america spoke with a former american general . we see this is what i actually expected from the ukrainian forces and they are in a certain phase of formation and studying the situation, currently less than 30% of their forces are engaged and they are starting to achieve some success in one or two directions and smaller success in others, although i think they are preparing for how then they will use most of their forces and where

exactly . there are many people who do not understand war. and i believe that they have, let's say , unreasonable expectations, so i would advise you to calm down a little. if we look at how ukraine acted in this war, they inflicted a strategic defeat on russia in the northern on the side of kyiv, they inflicted a strategic defeat on russia in the north and northwest of kharkov, they are winning an operational level battle in the kherson area, and why should we suddenly start to doubt their judgment and decisions ? i think we need to give them time to implement their plan. in this last battle, the russian soldiers did not suddenly become better than in the past, but what we see is a part of the battle connected with radio-electronic warfare, russian engineers

managed to prepare a platform to install defense elements and we see that they introduced combat aviation into the battle, but they managed to prepare these new opportunities on the battlefield that ukraine has to overcome and in some cases the ukrainians are overcoming them now and are moving further in at least one city to start passing through the second line of defense and here a family of ukrainian farmers who, due to the war and a serious illness, had to go to their daughter in panama, returned to sow fields in the dnipropetrovsk region, our next story about them is that they had to work in dangerous conditions near the front line, hiding equipment and grain from enemy shelling, in spite of everything, they managed to cultivate the land and soon expect a harvest of wheat and sunflowers about the history of ukrainians who found a temporary refuge in latin america but returned to the motherland, see the project of our colleague from the latin american voice of america service hai memoreno in cooperation with iryna

shynkarenko for 3 km we had an explosion near the children's sports school. it was 5 o'clock in the evening in march . i don't remember the date. we talked with marynka on the phone and it was like that. a powerful explosion that still shook our house we were on the second floor and we heard tremors it was very, very scary and her suitcase was packed she just asked my dad to take her to poland and i bought

a ticket for her and she flew to panama and all these explosions were ringing nearby and i was afraid for my life and my husband, we decided to leave to take me to marina , since she is our only daughter of the second option, and then he returned to run me to poland to krakow on a plane, and he already returned to to plant one's front, to sow wheat, to feed bread from above, from the very beginning, i knew that my dad wasn't planning

to go anywhere, we didn't even think for a second that we would run away somewhere or that we would defend ourselves until the last leg of the russian left the territory, we didn't attack anyone, we were in ourselves on our native land we will defend our families our state our nation we have no way out in october 2022 three days after the operation he was still in intensive care and the russians started launching their

kamikaze drones my dad flew to the panams through cancer treatment he had an operation amen i came here on the 21st in order to start rehabilitation after the operation because the situation in kyiv is now unstable missiles drones prevent certain medical procedures there it is safe and calm people are friendly

calm peace-loving idiots walking playing with baby with children the only soul that gives you joy immediately charges you with this communication their smiles their their interest in life gives an incentive to live further but we were born there there our house there is our land there our parents are buried only ukraine i want to live in ukraine my twins are seven years old and from the first day when my parents arrived they asked grandma and grandpa why don't you stay here in panama with us until the war

no matter how stressed i am it won't help me or them and i knew that should support any of their decisions. so we plan to continue to sow our land, grow bread, feed the people , this is our participation in the victory. of the most famous gastronomic capitals of the world, here you can find food from almost all corners

of the world . and only last year, the first restaurant of delicious ukrainian cuisine appeared . yulia yarmolenko learned about the ukrainian restaurant, her report is further in ukrainian golubets, but here we call the period friday, that is, a roll in cabbage, and it is prepared from minced meat with the addition of rice and it is filled with such tomato sauce natalya shows us one of the favorite dishes on the menu of the first ukrainian restaurant in tokyo, it is delicious, a traditional ukrainian recipe, but with a japanese raisin, here we have eggplants , stewed eggplants are added, although there is no such thing in the traditional recipe. and this is another star of the menu, the ukrainian-japanese lunch the plate is varenyki, it is made of three types of varenyki. this is cabbage, potatoes with mushrooms and

potato cutlets, kyiv-style sauteed mushrooms , two types of canapes with salmon roe, pickled beetroot, a little like that in nigeria, the japanese it's called a flatbread. yes, a rice flatbread. i serve a plate with red borscht. it is a must-have dish in every ukrainian restaurant, regardless of whether it is in kyiv or tokyo. however, the founders of the establishment are japanese and zoya canoe had to learn all the peculiarities of ukrainian cuisine from scratch . at first, i did not understand ukrainian cuisine very much , but i she consulted with a professional chef and decided to open a restaurant. she is not the same actress, artist and designer . she had nothing to do with ukraine. she was pushed to open a ukrainian restaurant by a russian war, when i saw the degree of destruction in ukraine, i felt very sorry for the people, and when the evacuees began to arrive, i realized that i wanted to help ukrainian women to have a job and that this

job would help them overcome stress, so last september, deliciously, i opened the doors to a business in the tokyo area, all ukrainian workers here are resettled women or evacuees, as they are called in japan, none of them are professional cooks, but the menu is drawn up together with the japanese chef . i liked it, it is already being improved by the chef and it is brought to such a state that we serve it to ours . with peach eh well, you are her jam while lyudmila is working on new pies, the rest of the girls finish serving dinner, borscht, cabbage rolls, dumplings

are exotic for most japanese people, yes, experts in ukraine. i never tasted ukrainian food before the war, i thought it was similar to russian food but today i tasted borscht, it is a very tasty dish and the color is so rich. now i know what ukrainian food is. yes, here it is slightly adapted to japanese taste, and for me it is very good . for the first time, the ukrainian-japanese fusion dishes are also tasted by marikosan, a psychologist who helps immigrants in tokyo. for the japanese, this is unusual food. we don't understand what it should really taste like. it's interesting. it's delicious . in addition to a delicious lunch, he says he was happy that he could meet ukrainian immigrant women and show solidarity . the atmosphere here is very good, and so are the workers.

smiling, this makes me very happy, mrs. iryna, who came to japan from the dnipro at the invitation of her daughter . i didn't even expect it, and despite my age , she didn't give me a job. i can live here . we are very creative, the girls are very good. natalya was invited to japan by an acquaintance, and the woman does not regret her choice either. the opportunity to work played a decisive role, and i made the decision that it is still better to work here than to sit in poland on social benefits , just when i was going here and my daughter and i had work well, we met the girls here and now we have such a small ukrainian family . i know that the owner’s word is that she analyzes this and that was the purpose of creating a restaurant. she does not chase profits and hopes that the war will end soon, and therefore will have to close the restaurant, and mrs.

iryna admits that she dreams about the time when he will be able to return home safely, a lot on the phone, we watch a lot of local people with ukraine , we miss you very much, i will definitely return to ukraine, no matter what, and from tokyo yulia yarmolenko yustyna fake and oleksiy osika - voice america, and this is our farewell. peace be upon you and have a peaceful weekend . we are looking for demyan on tyurin, who went missing in mariupol. i am asking you immediately . please share this video about the search on your pages on social networks. the more people learn about the missing boy, the more chances there will be to find him . so please don't remain indifferent
