[000:00:00;00] of obedient zombie people then to him the information attacks of the russians in the project of the chronicle of the information war with olga laziness tuesday thursday friday at 17:10 on the espresso tv channel broadcast from washington the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america time time i am yuliya yarmolenko congratulations ukraine must remain the number one priority for this was stated by the president of the european parliament, roberta matsola , after the first day of the summit of the leaders of the european union in brussels, commenting on the significance of the latest events in russia, she

noted that there is still much to do in the situation. unknown but putin is getting weaker and ukraine is effectively fighting back. hello, among the topics discussed in brussels today are the security guarantees of both europe in general and ukraine in particular, what security guarantees can the eu provide to ukraine, because we know that this association is not military, well, today the president of the european council, one of the governing bodies of the european union, clarified. he said that it is about the role of the european union or the contribution of the european union as an organization to those security guarantees, or security assurances

, or even security assistance that will be provided, which will presumably be guaranteed by others countries, in particular, we know about negotiations regarding the possibility of security guarantees that could be provided, for example, by the united states , great britain, germany, and france, or is something else possible outside of nato, but now the biggest problem is probably the fact that in order to guarantee security, it must first be obtained for ukraine. as for the role of the european security council, it is not a military organization, but it is already performing a security role, in fact, a military one . a special fund of the european union created to provide armed

aid, for example, the european union also has a large training program for the ukrainian military, this is also a fairly new role for the eu and in particular, they are now talking about the possibility of military missions to ukraine by certain countries of the european union, but for example, this third issue will actually depend on the development of the russian-ukrainian war, so the role of the european union is obvious, even military, but when it comes to security guarantees, this issue is broader and certainly not to the european union on the scale of practical aid, how do british analysts look at it, well , actually, you can mention the analysts, in particular

, here in britain, a report published these days that evaluates aid to ukraine and dependence this from the political will and actually the british express concern because at a time when we have at a high political level , in particular today in brussels, fiery statements about the need to increase, if not support the already existing military aid to ukraine, they are actually saying. for example, here in london, researchers if you look at the fact that the white house has been refusing to provide ukraine with long -range artillery missiles , the so-called atakams, they say that this may be a sign that such countries, even the united states, the white house is actually restraining itself from providing certain assistance to ukraine, and this is the problem that one of the authors of this british

report of the analytical center, orysya lutsevich, told me about today. we also often see articles that say that this war cannot be won, and that ukraine simply cannot provide such results as voiced by president zelenskyi . but again, it cannot because the west limits itself in providing weapons to ukraine, so we are working with these arguments because the creation of a certain war to exhaust this situation, which is now the result of western policy, this is not only the result of the capacity of the ukrainian armed forces . by the way, speaking of the attacks today, petro ryder from the pentagon was asked whether any decisions were expected regarding the provision of long-range weapons . he said that he did not know there is nothing to announce about any immediate decisions, so we will keep an eye on it bohdana roberto matsola today they said that the measures taken by the eu to

support ukraine and oppose russia are working and it is in particular about sanctions that is it working, is it going to use the frozen russian assets for the needs of ukraine, is there any progress in this, well, there is a statement that the sanctions are not working, as some hoped when, for example, they promised that they would be devastating for russia, the sanctions for russia obviously did not become, although e-e experts claim that they are holding back in russia and restricting in russia specific concrete and e efforts regarding the use of e-e sanctions according to which multi-billion-dollar assets and russian enterprises of russian companies were frozen

persons, as well as the central bank of russia, as the prime minister of latvia said today, it remains, so to speak, a fruit that hangs very low and begs to be plucked, but it seems that the europeans still have ways to pluck this fruit. actually, not yet found in ukr russia must pay for the restoration of ukraine it was an easy question in limbo a lot of money this is how the berry on the branch of the freeze reached russian assets we need to find a legal basis to use mobilize these assets to help russia pay for the damage that russia

asks ukraine, we will follow the development of events in brussels. thank you, bohdan. i would like to remind you that my colleague bohdan tsyupin was in contact with the studio. the unstable situation in russia, so western experts interviewed by my colleague maria prus, according to observers, after the destruction of the kakhova hpp, it is important for kyiv to act in advance and report on the threat of a terrorist attack on the air force just now. they are receiving at least some evidence of this. at the same time, experts warn that the west cannot be guided by russian nuclear rhetoric . ukraine is also advised to prepare a response plan in case of a potential situation with a radiation leak , details further in the story. russia may be preparing a terrorist attack on the occupied zaporizhzhia npp and an order to attack can be given at any time this was announced by the head of the intelligence of ukraine kyrylo budanov the other day in conversations with world leaders volodymyr zelenskyi as the office of the ukrainian president also reports

convinces that the world's insufficient reaction to the destruction of the kakhovka dam enables the kremlin to prepare a terrorist attack on the air force, at the same time the white house assures that the russian military is dangerous , washington does not see it as a sign that moscow is preparing to use nuclear weapons in ukraine or carry out a terrorist attack we are watching this very closely we have seen this report with us as you know there is an opportunity to monitor radioactivity near the station and we just haven't seen any signs that this threat is imminent but we are monitoring it mykhailo podolyak, the advisor to the head of the office of the president of ukraine, very carefully explained in a comment for the voice of america that the mining has been going on for more than a year and now ukrainian intelligence is recording russian readiness to escalate, as he said , due to the use of terrorist tools, but there is no immediate threat and it can be said that is being pulled up there to mine four of the six power units

certain additional explosive materials we can talk about it yes we should talk about it unconditionally does this mean exactly that a terrorist attack will be committed no definitely does not mean that a terrorist attack will definitely be committed but does ukraine , which is currently at war and in which a huge number of infrastructure facilities have already been destroyed, say that the risks for us are significant definitely in order to intercept the initiative on the front, in particular, to complicate the counteroffensive of the uzs, there was no appropriate reaction to the terrorist attack on the kakhovsky dam, and we definitely did not expect that the world would be so calm enough to treat what russia violates let's say the geneva convention, the additional protocol of the year 77 on the use of non-selective indiscriminate weapons, well, this is equal to mass impression. today we see that russia, without receiving an appropriate reaction

to kakhovsky, demines two more objects - this is isos and the crimean titan of the armenian, this is a deputy on the peninsula the director of the russian program of the fund for the protection of democracy, john hardy , explains why it is important for kyiv on the international stage to talk about the reality of the threat of a russian terrorist attack on the defense forces. i think that for ukrainians, if you actually have any a hint that russia is going to do it you should get ahead of it because you want to deprive the brain of the opportunity to carry it out and then falsely accuse ukraine of this although it could also be an information operation but i don't think that this is exactly it i think that the fact that russia really blew up the dam lends more credence to these official statements of kyiv, gordy and other experts polled by the voice of america agree that now the inevitable threat of the director of russia at the zaporizhzhia npp or the use of nuclear weapons

by the russian federation against ukraine should not be taken lightly the danger is also not worth it, especially in view of the recent events in russia around the pvk wagner irka will not call weeknd i think that putin was weakened by the coup attempt, so maybe he feels cornered and vulnerable, which can lead to more unstable behavior, but in general, i will continue to consider the use by russia weapons of mass destruction, and especially nuclear weapons, a low -probability event. we must respond to these threats as if they were serious, but at the same time, we cannot allow it to appear that the use of the nuclear threat to pressure ukraine or other western states are successful if nato countries retreat every time someone from the russian government voices a separate nuclear threat, then we will not be able to develop effective political solutions if russia nevertheless carries out a terrorist attack on a gas station, the consequences will be incredibly similar to the accident at

the japanese fukushima nuclear power plant in 2011, but about the second chernobyl, not this one, because the work on the nuclear power plant has been stopped, says the american nuclear physicist edwin lyma, is different from the design of the chernobyl npp and the specific scenario to which the chernobyl disaster led and caused its scale in zaporizhzhia, it is unlikely to happen, i think the most likely result will be an event similar to the accident at focusim in japan in 2011 , a much lower level of pollution may occur for many tens or hundreds of kilometers, which may affect agriculture , it will be difficult for people to return to their homes on for a long time, this may lead to large costs for cleaning up ukrainians from advises to prepare but remain calm what can really be done is simply to increase preparedness for emergency situations with potential

radiation for the surrounding communities both in ukraine and abroad to make sure that in case of the worst there will be an effective response to protect public health do not panic those concerns have arisen in the past i understand that whenever a similar situation arises sometimes people run to buy potassium iodide but this the drug should actually be distributed by emergency responders who have a better idea of ​​how and where and when it should be distributed so you know if people run to the pharmacy and buy it themselves they can cause a shortage and then it may not be available to people who may really need it. lyme warns against independent actions and advises in potential emergency situations related to the radiation threat to listen

to the orders of the authorities . they are certain that their children are in captivity in russia , because they disappeared while carrying out combat missions at sea on march 3, 2022 near the kingsburg spit, the sloviansk boat was hit, and on may 7 of the same year near the russian occupiers of the snake island attacked the boat stanislav dory, 16 crew members of both boats, since that time it is unknown what evidence the women have that their sons are alive and how russia reacts to the requests of mothers, anna kostichenko and pavel sukhodolsky found out this was taken in baltimore at the graduation ceremony and i found this photo already during the war. when my son disappeared, of course , we are ready. we are ukrainians. senior lieutenant serhiy tokmachov and his colleagues visited the state of maryland in september 2021. there he was tested as a crew commander on

to the fifth island-type patrol boat that the united states once handed over to ukraine in january of last year, but due to a full-scale attack by russia, the boat did not have time to arrive, then serhiy was assigned to the ukrainian amphibious assault boat stanislav for a combat mission. on may 7, 2022, the russians hit the boat with a missile near the snake island five crew members are missing, but their relatives are sure that they are alive and in captivity. we are sure that they are alive, because there is a lot of evidence that they are. they were picked up by servicemen of the black sea fleet. in russia, there were also boats there, well, everyone knows that the island of zmiiny is seen as an enemy and they were there to attack the occupiers on this island, and their boats were also there, and we have

a lot of reasons to believe that they were picked up, well, this and the phone conversations, this and direction finding of phones after the boat sank, er, if the phone sank, then it sank, it is no longer used on it, neither the internet nor calls, and here everything took place in the 54-year-old mother of serhiy tetyana tokmachova, a social worker, the woman did not leave work and continues to help people receive benefits and subsidies in wartime. it is work that helps not to fall into the limelight because of the disappearance of my son, says tetyana, for the first two months , i was generally in some kind of prostration . i fell out of my life. they entered the garden when it was already dark in order to fall on the bed

and kill themselves after the start of the great war. tatyana saw her son only once, exactly a week before the disappearance, on that day i hugged him so much, i don't know how the last time, they still held him very close to her and then they pushed me away i say why am i hugging you so much it's like the last time i'll see you i say we stayed for literally two hours and he left again and seven days later he disappeared together with tatyana his wife , 31-year-old anastasia, is looking for sergey i know he's alive i can feel it i don't know how to explain it, i feel it. i felt it. the fact is that they told me the next day because i didn't know how to submit this information. it was

the next day that i learned this terrible truth , namely may 7, and i can't explain what with it was me, i couldn't find a fifth corner for myself anastasia and serhii met students in 2012 and two years later got married, the young sailor made a proposal in a very original way, the woman recalls. he recorded e-e with his siblings with the same students as him, and the couple has an eight-year-old son , artem, who is also very much waiting for his father, says

tatyana, such bags, and he constantly asks his mother, mother, me, father, that he fell out of love he doesn't call me. in search of her son, tetyana came across information on the internet about another boat being bombed by the russians, sloviansk, near the kinbur spit, it happened on march 3, 2022. 11 members of its crew disappeared under the same incomprehensible circumstances as serhii tokmachov , the relatives of the disappeared clouds decided to connect search efforts and in january 2023 registered a public organization united by the sea, members of the organization, 42-year-old accountant tetyana sheryshorina, mother of the youngest missing sailor, twenty-year-old nikita

, this is nikita's room. documents that we have already collected, here he is, we are a beauty, almost every day women write requests to the world organization, embassies and various institutions and beg for help in the search for children, this is to the un , we wrote this to the red cross, we wrote this, we already wrote, they asked for an extract, they wrote a request they answered, they answered, but they wrote that we do not have the right to disclose information to third parties in 2021. nikita left college to become a soldier. i wanted a shape i want a shape he is very me he is handsome i have him big not so textured at the beginning of the great war tatyana never

saw her son the last time we saw him he was at home on february 21 he came late in the evening we had dinner he hugged his younger brother the dog went to bed and in the morning, his husband took him to work, the boat stanislav was not hit, he has no way to go down, he sank right on the route of the grain corridor , besides, the great depth does not allow, say the relatives of the sailors, but on the boat sloviansk the divers managed to go down once, no bodies or remains were found on the sunken ship, says tetyana and adds to her indirect evidence that the sailors survived, their phones were directed to russia , 10 sailors were brought to the temporarily occupied crimea. he won't be able to, because he will say no, i didn't say that, but it was

. they didn't make it up, and here are some moments that give us the right to think that they are alive. the fence nikita made for her with his own hands nikita he is very good with wood, all the fences are here um s- he makes something like that, he also does it when we moved here i tell my son, mom has to do it, mom will do everything , then he disappeared, and in the spring he- uh, i realized at some point that i'm starting to go crazy with this phone 24/7 because you're looking for some kind of information uh, well, it was very difficult and my husband says that we have to do something because well, i can't and he and i all became a fence to do on some kind of machine, but it's distracting, when you

do something with your hands, it distracts your head at the moment the case of the missing sailors from the stanislav and sloviansk boats is managed by the sbu, but the search is complicated by the fact that russia ignores all requests and letters and does not confirm either the capture or the death of the ukrainian military, the aggressor violates all the international laws that helped to be they don't exist, that's why we want to reach everyone. to be heard , to be helped, and not just us. half of our country is looking for their relatives. and this is only because the enemy does not accept international law. women say they are ready to wait for their sons from captivity for how long. it will be necessary. the main thing is that they are asking the russian side to confirm

whether the sailors are alive . we can't, we don't have the right to demand it because it's not our level. it's probably some kind of mother's prayer . just tell us, give us an answer to our questions, endless questions, give us an answer and it will be in petrov sidorov, alive in captivity, all this will be happiness. at this stage , we no longer need to live like this. between heaven and earth, when you don't know, well, you don't know, child. alive or dead it is very difficult anna kostichenko pavel sukhodolskyi for voice of america from the mykolaiv and odesa oblasts has been trying for more than a year to help ukraine with the help of ukrainian recipes . for more than a year, chef anna voloshina from san francisco has been trying to organize charity parties with ukrainian cuisine and popularize the dishes of her homeland. what kind of dishes does anna feed americans and how inspires them to help

ukraine, they learned khrystyna shevchenko, the well-known chef in san francisco, anna voloshina , has been organizing pop-appechos and master classes at which she shows dishes for more than a year of ukrainian cuisine and after a full-scale invasion, these evenings not only serve delicious food, but also raise money. hello friends, if you want to try ukrainian cuisine and learn more about ukrainian food and culture, join our dinner. anna popularizes ukrainian cuisine in her book called let's be 224 pages with the interpretation of the recipes that were prepared in her family in snyurivka, mykolaiv region , became a discovery for american gormans in the midst of the war, of course, where could i get the recipes, that's all. our mother and grandmother have such a culinary feature is that recipes are very rarely written down in ukraine and that they are passed down orally from mother, er, to her daughter, here i

personally ran after my mother and stood behind her, writing down because i say, mother, how much flour do you put in the dough, she says yes, there are glasses and how many in that, every glass is different here, the quintessence of ukrainian cuisine, appetizers, herring, soups, green borscht, main dishes, duck with apples, among desserts, and honeydew and cheese cake, as well as twists and even tinctures , some very cool dishes that people love and directly ask me to cook them donuts uh, i have an italian cook friend who loves my donuts and the second dish is my mom's tomatoes, which are simply marinated tomatoes that are incredibly tasty. i always cook them for all my dinners and they are just uh, it's always such a small, very small dish, but she it always brings the greatest joy to everyone that people do not expect such a taste. anna's recipes were published in the washington post, the new york

food considers anya its tastes and aromas can most effectively remind of ukraine through food it is much easier to convey a message because many people they are simply tired of reading about the war er americans they live their lives ukraine is very far from them and through food it is much much easier to find from they have some contact, ani promises that she will soon go on an expedition to ukraine, where she will collect material for her second book of authentic ancient ukrainian recipes san francisco khrystyna shevchenko bohdan shevchenko for the voice of america and this is the end of it thank you for watching voice of america in ukrainian see you tomorrow all the best take care papa uno 19,000 ukrainian children were deported

to russia and this is not the final figure because russia refuses to provide complete lists of children taken out of ukraine, in particular , ukrainian boys and girls who, even before the beginning of the full-scale invasion , were in the temporarily occupied territories in residential institutions were deported to russia, and today we will talk about about one of these difficult stories is fifteen-year-old sashko ivanov, who is now considered missing. the boy was in one of the boarding schools in donetsk, and on february 20, 2022, four days before the start of the full-scale invasion, all the students of this boarding school were allegedly taken to russia by the occupation authorities. we were told by grandmother sashka, who is currently in the territory controlled by ukraine and is looking for her grandson, we were traveling, our daughter was taken away even before the war, just before st. february, the boarding school simply stuck
