i don't think that it is significant that he can somehow move from these first positions before the primaries, because if now , after the presentation of charges in several criminal cases, he still remains the favorite, it is actually difficult to say what could have gone differently, but it is also very important to understand that in view of the increase in candidates in the primaries in the republican party, i do not think that trump will have a great chance to expand his support, that is, he will maintain the existing level of support, but for sure will not gain new supporters, of course. thank you very much, mr. vladyslav, for participating in the program. thank you very much for the professional answers, for the interesting answers. this was vladyslav faraponova , interview analyst from ukraine, co-founder of the institute of american studies, time is running out. therefore

, i have to quickly fill my bag. you have a question, did prigozhin shake putin's position, three answer options, as usual, yes, no, your option, 71% believe that he has shaken, 24% believe that no, your option, 5%, your options can be read in the a-a comments. yes, now we have 1866 people are watching this in a special channel created for the world at war program. thank you very much to all of you. also, thank you very much to all those who watch us online and at least where the espresso tv channel has not been turned off, and thank you to all those who watched us on the general espresso youtube channel. well what about this , i am forced to finish the sweet program during the war, finish it only today because we will meet next week at the usual time , there will be new topics, new guests, it will be interesting as always

on the air from washington, the ukrainian program voice of america, i'm yulia yarmolenko. congratulations, the united states continues to closely monitor the situation in russia and closely coordinate with its allies after the attempted armed rebellion by the leader of the mercenary group wagner yevgenia prigozhina last weekend . president shajobaiden said on monday that the final conclusions about what happened and what it is too early to do this at the moment, but he stressed that washington's support for kyiv will not change , president biden also noted the events of the weekend - these are russia's internal problems. we

made it clear that we have nothing to do with this. this is part of the struggle within the russian system. i also spoke with the president of ukraine zelenskyi. we will keep in touch with him and maybe we will contact him later today or tomorrow morning to make sure that we share our views, i told him independently from what happened in russia and i repeat this once again, regardless of what happened in russia , we the united states will continue to support the defense of ukraine, its sovereignty and territorial integrity, we agreed to monitor and maintain constant contact, also in constant contact with our allies to maintain coordination, will speak with heads of state today to ensure that we have a common vision we will continue to assess the consequences of this weekend's events for russia and ukraine, but it is too early to draw final conclusions, however

we will see where it goes, the results of all this, but regardless of what happens next , i will continue to make sure that our allies and partners have a common position on how we perceive the situation and react to it it is important that we remain fully aligned, and before the word about support for ukraine, tomorrow the united states is to announce a new package of aid to ukraine in the amount of 500 million dollars, this information was confirmed by our correspondence with karli bab, sources in the us ministry of defense are closely monitoring the development of the russian situation and in europe , especially ukraine which have borders with russia or belarus, russia will remain hostile and will try to weaken democracy in any way , prime minister of kalitva ingrida-shimanit said on monday strengthening security and the deterrence strategy, as well as aid to ukraine, should be the main focus on the eve of the nato summit, she emphasized more about the reaction to the one-day riot of the head of the communist party of ukraine, wagner yevheniya prigozhina, and

the important long-term consequences . that continues close coordination by the allies regarding the situation in russia , how are they reacting to the events of the weekend in europe and do they think that this is only the beginning, if it is the beginning what yulia i would say that it is possible even more than the beginning to hear more about the continuation of what putin started with his war against ukraine, and by the way, let's not forget that er, and prigozhyn as the person we know her now is actually wagner. that is, it is private the military company was actually created or started its activity in 2014

when putin started his war against ukraine but actually wanted to hide his actions by sending such private private mercenaries there. as for the statements here that for example, representatives of the european union, the high representative for foreign policy and security, joseph borel, said that it is putin, it is russia, and putin created this monster, which is now biting him, and here in london, in great britain , the prime minister rishi and sumakh emphasizes that eu leaders, in particular, european leaders , are closely watching what is happening and are ready for all possible ways of development of events . he spoke with the leaders of the united states , as well as france and germany. our reaction is agreed. we are monitoring this situation.

over a period of time, this instability caused by russia's illegal invasion of ukraine and the events of the past weekend confirm that this is coming to the fore , it is obvious that it is still too early to predict with certainty what may happen in the future, but i am in close contact with our allies and we are closely monitoring the situation bohdana , meanwhile, the armed forces of ukraine continue to conduct counteroffensive actions, and in the context of the development of the situation in russia, are western leaders talking about a possible increase in support for ukraine, or are they strengthening their own security? and they consider it necessary to strengthen their own security, in particular, today germany, for example, announced that it is ready to transform its temporary presence in lithuania, and let's not forget that lithuania borders both belarus and

russia, so the germans, as lithuania's allies in nato, are now proposing to transform their temporary presence thousands of soldiers to a permanent military base, which will probably have 4,000 soldiers, this is a serious change in the way the nato alliance operates in eastern europe, and previously it was believed that such things, such things are not needed. as for lithuania, its representatives remain among the loudest of the loudest voices among those who call for help to ukraine, especially now because on the one hand, what happened over the past 24 or 36 hours. this is as mr. biden and other western leaders said, it is an internal matter of russia. but the russian war against ukraine is far from it is not an internal

russian affair, and the lithuanian minister of foreign affairs spoke about this today at a meeting with fellow eu foreign ministers in luxembourg. we do not need to think about regime change in russia. we do not need this to plan the russians are quite capable of doing it on their own we don't need to be distracted by this because similar events can happen again in the future but we need to focus on ukraine and actually double our aid to ukraine especially when it comes to financial support for their military actions supply them with the necessary equipment in order to fight harder on the battlefield also when it comes to their accession to the eu and nato important statements thank you bohdan

tsyupin, the events of the weekend in russia have no winners, but they may have long-term consequences , which events should be prepared for, said the director of the non-governmental organization institute of post-information society, dmytro zolotukhin, who has been studying the wagner group for more than one year, and there are absolutely no winners . it is obvious that prigozhin wanted a - and to gain some advantages for himself, but he spilled the honey and , well, let's say he got absolutely, he multiplied his potential political career to zero, and vladimir putin just stayed near them just doused with dirt and will cough it all up for a long time. i believe that the situation will become complicated because the struggle of the elites who saw that there is no longer any guarantor of stability will continue. and the fact that the event does not have a script at the moment, i saw publications in the form of frs in the times

which says that from the west it is necessary to prepare for the collapse of the russian federation, such thoughts have only now begun to appear. and it is very bad that the west is still not ready. i believe that the situation will continue to become more complicated in many directions researcher associate professor of the department of national security at the university of new haven, matty schmidt, believes that the failed attempt at rebellion could only strengthen putin's position, according to this researcher, and in the meantime, there is a danger of escalation of aggression in belarus, and it is coming from the north. around putin, they did not side with prigozhin. they may have been waiting to see what was happening, but in the end they did not side with the uprising and now there is no other prigozhin who will come in a few weeks or months, so

putin confirmed the reputation that special services loyal to him are ready to kidnap civilians as members of prigozhin's family and threaten their lives, so they say that there is no alternative to putin, and i think that this is a really important point that was lost during this discussion. i think that prigozhin in belarus can now, in fact, receive orders from putin and can be an effective leader of some attack from the north again on kyiv to threaten the capital . especially since the counteroffensive is becoming more and more successful and to others there are more than 10 thousand animals at first the full-scale invasion of russia was saved by the activists of the non-governmental organization animal rescue kharkiv. now they work not only in kharkiv oblast, but also in donetsk oblast and luhansk

oblast. volunteers go almost every day to the contact line to take dogs, cats and other domestic animals out of danger. the work of volunteers in donbas was observed by anna kostichenko and pavel sukhodolsky, 38-year-old olena gets a mini-shelter for pets in kostyantynivka, donetsk region, at the time of filming, 23 km from the contact line , the woman is already raising 20 dogs and 25 cats among elena's pets there are also disabled dogs, well, they are just one side. we have one side completely paralyzed. we inject actovegin celebrulisin every six months . it was such a joy for us when she started taking her first steps like a small child . there is no way to leave them, says olena, the guys said that these animals were brought from temporary yar because the road to bakhmut is already closed, so we had to give them away because our

girl will give birth soon and that’s it. there, volunteers from the kharkiv non-governmental animal rescue organization take the kittens. this volunteer initiative has been rescuing animals in the kharkiv region for more than 7 years, says volunteer ruslan horbal, before the full-scale invasion of the russians, the volunteers mainly came for isolated calls regarding animals that had been abandoned or hit by cars. now they save dogs and cats every day practically on the contact line, well, the war carried its pictures, that is, in fact . at first, the wars work not only in the kharkiv region, but also in the unoccupied part of the donetsk and luhansk regions, mainly rescuers are taken away who could not take their owners during their own evacuation , they are trying to find new owners for all the rescued pets, says 28-year-old volunteer

yaryna antonyuk, mostly people give to what they cannot evacuate because they have an animal, no one takes them with animals , evacuation flights do not take them, they have nowhere to go with them, and then they turn to us for help, there are those who they stay only because they have animals. volunteers also take animals that came under shelling and bring them to the veterinary clinic organized in kharkiv. the clinic was opened last fall due to the large number of wounded animals. further, if the owners have a desire, we will return or we will look for them a family to open a veterinary clinic kharkiv rescuers were helped by benefactors from the american institution of new ukraine and

animal protection organization peta tells alyona rurik, head of the animal protection department of new ukraine in california, near the clinic there is an area where you can walk animals , it is safe because it is located in the basement, that is , it is well protected. at first, we bought basic medical equipment for surgical operations and treatment, it was portable and the rescuers moved from one room to another , literally from a room to a kitchen, but then we found the funds to open a clinic, we provided them with medical supplies and the german organization peta bought the premises since last december. in the clinic together with ukrainian veterinarians , a lithuanian vitavta from zhedonis works . 2022 congratulations and

worked in finland but after the large-scale invasion of russia, he decided that his 30-year practical experience is more needed in ukraine best motovation svitlofor my best motivation is the russians they caused a lot of problems in my country lithuania we were under occupation for a long time and now they started to spread their dirt in ukraine they tried but stopped at first the war rescuers took more than 10 thousand animals out of the dangerous zones all the rescued animals war zones and suffer from post-traumatic syndrome , says yaryna vinnyk, all the animals that come and even if you see a photo, their eyes look at you, well, you can't react because these are not just animals that we they have been saving for a long time, they are completely different, you can see that scar on them, they

are experiencing the same disaster as every ukrainian family, which is now homeless and disoriented. some of them were saved by the ukrainian military, so as a sign of gratitude to them, the rescuers plan to open the code to the psychological relaxation room, where the soldiers of the armed forces of ukraine will be able to get rid of stress through communication with cats, and they, in turn, will feel the human affection they need anna kostichenko pavel sukhodolskyi for america's vote from donetsk and kharkiv regions american volunteer from california gio roman was seriously injured in the battle with the russians but he does not regret the fact that he decided to help ukraine in an interview with khrystyna shevchenko, a thirty-year-old man told how he got rid of the fear of death during the russian-ukrainian war, experienced moments of shame and sympathy how i missed candy and

legion, eventually joined the 59th motorized infantry brigade as a contract worker in the room ukrainian a flag with the signatures of our comrades and war trophies, some of them tokens of the russians he killed, the russians crept up so close to us that we heard them shouting at us, they cursed, he does not know what they were saying but the ukrainians and the russians cursed each other sometimes they are in the city when we get out of the humvee we have to walk 500 meters in the open air and when they start shooting we lie down on the ground the russians fire lighting projectiles they are like flashes and when these flashlights rise into the sky they light up the sky too now we could see each other we all lay on the ground and just wait for them to stop i always carry three bullets right here because if it gets really bad if we get captured i would shoot those

three bullets first into my phone and the others into myself because i didn't want to be captured and tortured, especially by the russians, i'm an american now, i often have nightmares, it didn't happen until i came here, until i left ukraine your body starts to relax, i wake up in bed and smell white phosphorus or hear a scream and he's trying to bring health and little joys back into his life when i was there i wanted a burrito or potter i went to look at instagram i kept seeing ads for chipotle taburito and i thought oh that sounds so good and i missed candy i love candy so a few times our boys were skittles and i was so happy day during our interview did you get the news he managed to get into

one of the california universities but not as a firefighter but as a nurse in orange county khrystyna shevchenko bohdan shevchenko for the voice of america first full-scale russian invasion is almost over a year and a half and ordinary americans continue to strongly support ukraine american artist and musician from texas walt stewart not only wrote a song and music in support of ukraine but also united around it he made videos for his community, now he is raising 5 million dollars for help details iryna solomko to a girl through the internet as a bell rings, what is wrong with you, uncle, he is standing on a hill, his eyes are wet with tears, the news says that your struggle continues, hold on we are one tiny stihl show

, the horde's nonsense 73 years, he is a veteran of the war in vietnam and the well-known texas city of austin , an artist, sculptor and musician says that when he heard on february 24 that russia had launched a full-scale invasion of ukraine, he imagined how the bells ringing in the cities of ukraine warning about danger. it was this image that later became the first line of his song in support of ukraine. i watched as families were forced to leave the country to get to a safe place by train or to bus stations . to this violent rush i wanted to tell ukrainians i see it i am watching you like this a song began to be born and it was important for everyone not only to think about it but

to speak and to inspire ukrainians to remain strong that ukraine was everywhere in the news and it was very important to see and hear, he also reflected this in the song, he compares these lines with the words of the american national anthem, and it is almost like a national anthem called the star-spangled banner, where there are words that our flag is still there, and you journalists tell us that the ukrainian the flag is still flying, the work on the words and music continued until the summer of last year, after that friends advised the steward to shoot a clip tom from tehir, the audio producer of the project says in the end , several dozen volunteers worked on it, tom himself performed practical all musical parts and consent to the recording, we had about 50 people during the video shoot and many more behind the camera , we had a drone operator, we had people who

were responsible for a big bonfire, considering that the budget of the clip was 0 dollars, we are satisfied with the result without, the work on the video took almost two months producer and director mark del admits that he wanted the clip to encourage people to do something, to spread this and talk about the war or to donate money, a symbol of how these actions can affect the result is the fire that walt starts at the beginning and which at the end turns into a big bonfire i wish it was a big open space and i also wanted to shoot it so people from other countries don't get distracted by our wealth and safety so they are safe compared to most countries in the world and who doesn't bomb them of course they can sing this song i wanted to get away from this perception so i decided to shoot everything in nature and i hope that nature will be the thing that connects people all over the world b and

against our stage of 5 million dollars we even hope to exceed it because if we reach people and they will give at least 5 dollars each is how much a cup of coffee costs now we will achieve it money is collected for a charity fund together which helps ukraine since 2014 to their board of directors and immediately got a response we encourage them to use this song at their rallies and also during fundraising we hope that she will be heard at protests, she resembles a march, she has something so militaristic and rallying , she has such energy of response, a volunteer is together in the living room, says ani gold, and neither tom nor mart have ukrainian roots or any

connection with ukraine, that's why their support is even more inspiring, especially in texas. it gives us strength so much that the american community wants to support us, especially in the state of texas, which is more radical . in texas, there is less support even when we do some protests. actions, but you see such support from walt was especially important. stewart says that there is not much money to constantly send it to the ukrainians and he is already too old to go to fight, so his weapon is creativity and he is going to support the struggle of the ukrainians until their win tigers and also bear what a horror if i were icarus i could fly feathers in my pockets i could be your rocket hold on
