[000:00:00;00] respectively. in some cases, less severe punishments. but for those who voluntarily went to work for an illegal body in the occupied territory, of course there is no significant mitigation, so let them be happy that they fell into the hands of our law enforcement officers and not partisans .

sellers, write to us on this e-mail address or simply on facebook, let's track down all the traitors together, let's track down the russian ship. see you in a week on the air with the press, on the air from washington, the program of the ukrainian voice of america service, i'm yuliya yarmolenko, i congratulate the united states, great britain, romania and a number of other countries condemned the night attacks of the russians on the ukrainian river port on the danube near the romanian border, secretary of state anthony blinken discussed the security situation in region and support of ukraine with the minister of foreign affairs of romania luminitsa about the dobesk after leaving the of the grain initiative, russia is dealing the strongest blows against the residents of odesa since the beginning of the war, with this statement, the spokesman of the state department, match miller, began a briefing on monday, according to an american official, the kremlin is bent on destruction and

will not withdraw its troops to korossia . grain warehouses on the danube river, which is now vital an important export route for grain, as russia effectively blockaded the black sea ports the united states strongly condemns the escalation of russian attacks and the consequences of these attacks on ukraine for the rest of the world, those brutal strikes are more obvious than ever, further illustrating russia's willingness to use food as a weapon in its illegal war against ukraine the kremlin wants to deprive ukraine's economy of its main source of income despite needy people around the world feeling the consequences and rising food prices

the united states, our allies and partners are not will waver in their support for ukraine, which defends itself and fights for the return of its sovereign territory. at the same time, miller admits that the black sea is the most effective way to export ukrainian grain to world markets , because alternative options do not allow delivering the required amount of food . by our pin a european correspondent who is currently in communication from london bohdan, i congratulate the river route through

the danube was one of the few alternative routes for the export of ukrainian grain after russia's withdrawal from the grain initiative, what options are left now, well, the river route actually remains the danube. although of course the destruction of warehouses and port infrastructure is a serious problem for ukraine, the danube is not blocked , as it is actually the blockade of the black sea by russia when it comes to the ports of ukraine, such as odesa and others regarding others alternative ways, so to speak, are of course also the so-called lines of solidarity of the european union, but there is a problem with them now, besides the fact that their carrying capacity is small and the price of land transportation is also significant, the problem is that now, at least until september 15, officially, five countries of the european union bordering ukraine have received permission to actually let ukrainian grain into their territory, because this is the approval of the governments of those countries, in particular, in poland, slovakia, hungary, romania, and even in

bulgaria imto this e collapses the prices for local farmers and causes great damage, and this is a problem because, for example, with the approach of the general elections in poland, where the government party is obviously trying to have favorable voters among the peasants in poland, it will probably try to show itself as a defender of their interests, even if it is about possible actions contrary to the interests of ukraine. so, now , when it comes to the international level, great emphasis is placed on somehow forcing russia to return to the so-called black sea

grain agreement regarding the actual return of russia or calls to return to the fulfillment of the terms of the grain agreement, are the un and western partners helping to find a way to export ukrainian grain other than only through statements, and are these calls strong enough to offer terror and end the blockade that are being heard by russia, well, actually, regarding the strength of the statements, for example, from the highest representative at this un conference that started today in rome, a three-day conference, and theoretically, the most powerful should probably be the speech of the general secretary of the hotel, but i

drew attention to the fact that in his speech in fact, there was no mention of the bombing of the ukrainian grain port infrastructure by russia, as a diplomat, the secretary general of the un is obviously trying to leave everything and probably use some diplomatic ways to return russia to the grain agreement, what he focused on was to emphasize that both ukraine and russia are very important for providing the world with food, and that is why he said that it is necessary for moscow to return to this agreement, here is an excerpt from his speech in the black sea initiatives will pay the more invulnerable, but when food prices rise, they will pay. we all already see the negative impact on world prices for wheat and corn, which harms everyone, but it is especially devastating for vulnerable countries that are trying to feed their people, and the russian federation and ukraine are important for world food security, historically they account for about 30 % of the world's wheat and barley exports, 5 % of all corn and more than half of this and for my part, i

remain devoted to unhindered assistance food access to the global food markets, and it is good both from ukraine and from the russian federation, as well as ensuring food security that every person deserves. so, such words were heard from the un secretary general today in rome, and perhaps more harshly if you evaluate the speech from the point of view of ukraine, the words of the hostess of the meeting, the prime minister of italy, mrs. giorgi mione, who stated that russia is committing crimes against ukraine against the world and that what is happening in ukraine must

be immediately terminated e-e it is obvious that there will be there are still attempts on the one hand to put pressure on russia, as we have already said, to return to the grain agreement, ukraine also offers another option, namely an increase in the supply of weapons and for example, we saw from one of the representatives of official kyiv today an explanation that, for example, an additional anti-missile defense system of the petri type or on sams in southern ukraine, in particular near the danube ports, would obviously protect

the infrastructure there protection of ukrainian ports will be discussed at the meeting of the nato council ukraine in brussels which we expect the day after tomorrow we will order bohdan we will monitor the development of this situation in particular we are also waiting for a new package of military aid from the united states thank you very much bohdan the great war creates additional challenges for ukrainian doctors one of them is massive damage to the abdominal cavity in both the military and the civilian population often such injuries require complex operations after which the intestine can no longer work in full in this case, an artificial hole is made in the patient's body, so this technique is also used for cancer patients or to share the american experience of such operations. surgeons from chicago came to the national cancer institute in kyiv, anna kostyuchenko and pavel sukhodolsky talked with doctors and patients. i didn't see the nurses from the northwestern health center in chicago for several days at the national cancer institute in kyiv. they gave consultations on stoma care in chicago. when wearing a bag, the bag

should not be visible skin doctors from chicago in this is not the first time that the americans operated in ukraine together with ukrainian surgeons and shared their experience during the conference. they now found money in funds that allowed them to travel and stay here for a while. they brought some basic consumables that they could take there. you know that the road is not very easy now. this train and plane and so on. now the head of their surgical department, vitaly polyana , is operating. nurses from the united states, who are not in our understanding nurses, are also operating. these are nurses with a higher education, they are not very different in status from doctors, one of these nurses, 42-year-old rachellandi, has been consulting patients with a stoma in chicago for more than eight years. such a bag must always be glued to the abdomen. the surgeon vitaly poiland, a former resident of kyiv, initiated the arrival of doctors from chicago to ukraine. 30 years ago, he moved to the united states, where he received a medical education last

year . doctors in the united states of the strong time we we want not only us to come and work here, many of your doctors have good knowledge, but they lack practical understanding, that is why i introduced a program whereby they can come to our center for a month and stay there in the role of observers of their stay, and the trip is paid for, first of all, we are talking about young specialists who can then bring new ideas and try to gradually change the information dissemination system, it is simply possible in war conditions, says dr. poilan, because not only

military personnel, but also civilians often receive intestine injuries due to shelling are a lot of body injuries. since civilians do not have body armor, there are much more cases of stoma use than usual. the presence of this causes significant restrictions in a person's life, but it does not deprive them of the opportunity to lead an active lifestyle , says rachel. at first it is difficult for everyone, but over time they learn how fatigue works. julia balana co-founder of the charitable foundation for the support of cancer patients from spirayshyn family, who herself is now in remission, of course it would be better without an ostomy, but in fact, when i talk to patients, i understand that it is not scary at the kyiv cancer institute, they promise that the exchange of experience with the united states in the management of patients with a stoma and cancer patients will be available in other regions of ukraine anna kostyuchenko pavel sukhodolskyi for the

voice of america from kyiv who is currently serving veterans, where they bury food, refuel and buy clothes with discounts, we will tell about all this as part of the voice of america special project about the life of the american military. today, in the first series, we will talk about a network of 240 supermarkets for active soldiers, veterans and their families with prices much lower than the market. the state cares not only about the cost, but also about the quality of the products . american military like to eat learned iryna shynkarenko and oleksiy osyka, who visited one of these supermarkets on a base near washington. it looks like an ordinary american supermarket, however, not every american will be able to get here, because this store is located on the territory of a military base , so american military personnel and members of their families can buy products here, and since this base is located right next to the pentagon , representatives of the us ministry

of defense also often come here, us army captain adel huseyin to the supermarket for the military on the territory of the mayer genderson base, the goal comes twice a month, i liked to eat it. i ate a lot of this when i was in the fields, or not every product in the store reminds adele of my years of military service. i was always seen eating an apple near my tank or near the habi and asked among where do you get all this? just walk down the street to the military store and buy and what do your soldiers eat , what do my soldiers eat they eat a lot they take canned food, they take peanut butter, they eat a lot of it they mostly eat ready-to-eat dishes. i am a small fan of this, there is a lot of salt in 2018. adele. as part of the training of nato allied countries, he trained ukrainian soldiers in europe. he remembers how in germany at the grafenberg military base he was also familiar with the same american military store with

products familiar to americans. i was in germany for the first time for 6 months. german soldiers don't have that kind of peanut butter and they said to me. but when you go to the base, bring us peanut butter for 11 years of service in the army, and i lived in different states and different countries and had the same military stores nearby. he says that for him it is not only a significant saving of money, but also a psychological support. going to a military store is something usual. i have seen them for the last 11 years of service . i know exactly what to expect when coming to the store . helped

me regardless of where i was going i took even a reviving one abroad during military service, in general, the american army has 236 such stores in the usa and on military bases abroad, a special agency of the pentagon is responsible for them, they have everything almost like in ordinary supermarkets, except for the prices, the products here are much cheaper than market stores , non-profit funds are allocated to them by congress, as explained by the authorities, they do this to attract people to military service and maintain the morale of active soldiers. in so we don't make money any price difference is returned to consumers in the form of savings we are authorized by congress to provide the opportunity to save at least 25% compared to the off-base market in all our stores it's not about every product being a quarter cheaper it's about the fact that in the end on your receipt when you compare it to, say, off-base purchases, you save at least 25%. for example, if you plan to spend $200 off base , you will spend $50

less in a military store. military stores in the united states have almost the 200-year history of selling products at cost to the american military began as early as 1825. it was mainly a room with certain products and each of the military officers and privates could come there and buy the necessary products. there was nothing. what you see today in the stores were usually dry goods that were stored for a very long time because grain, etc., a lot of salted meat, canned vegetables . you are goods in such stores now, american soldiers and retired military veterans with disabilities, their families, as well as civilian employees of the pentagon can, at the cash register, you need to show an id card, in general, the customers of such stores are almost five and a half million military families, the total number of veterans in the united states is more than 16 million, and even more

than a million active military, for many of them who live far from military bases , it is inconvenient to get to such stores, however, in some stores there is a delivery service or they sell products instead of military products trusted persons if people for people with certain disabilities who cannot come to the store we have a so -called agency program in this person provides a special identification card that gives the agent permission to make purchases for these persons with disabilities or those who cannot go to the store and you will help you

. shopping with you we believe the matter that we do here we believe in service to those who serve our country so we are here to serve you for work in these stores they hire mostly military family members kathleen davis has been working in military stores for almost 30 years following her husband from base to base she has always had a stable job i am a military wife and we moved everywhere but wherever we were we felt like we belonged this is a community so it is more than a grocery store working here i feel that it is a community and not just a grocery store the store, in addition to psychological support, the stores monitor the health of the american military and develop a special menu for them. semi-finnish military stores have their own certified nutritionist who goes around the store and selects products that have high nutrients and these are products that we mark as approved by nutritionists and we not only have such a specialist, but we also offer our military community more than 200 different recipes for which they can

use these products. they are all on our website. and we also have departments in the store where we offer ready-made meals approved by nutritionists in the store, many american soldiers are vegetarians, so there are separate products for them here in the store, we also offer an alternative choice of meat, for example, meat of plant origin or many vegetarians among the military and in fact, this is a very popular category . in our army, however, the most popular among the american military are eggs, milk and traditional types of meat

. meat is very very popular we have family kits for the convenience of families so they don't just buy let's say one steak and it provides them with a meal for the whole family we have for example ribs we have steaks on the bone again very popular with our military community the shelves of american military supermarkets are supplemented and local products borrowed from military bases around the world serve in the air force and that's why i've moved every one or two years i've moved 1 i lived in south korea once germany hawaii new mexico south korea the store had apple soda that everyone loved and it's great because then you come home and the local stores carry the same products we also have a german candy and chocolate department here in america my family shops at the store once every two weeks we live 20 minutes away but still the drive ugh and it's great because you see people you know you see veterans you see retirees and young families still the best the main advantage of military

stores can be seen in the check, says military adal huseyin i paid $134 here and saved $44 compared to other stores. it's very good, it's about two weeks of products for me, so saving $44 for such a number of products is a significant advantage . yes, they started there a new series of translations by the harvard library of ukrainian literature and six books have already been published, but how does the publishing department work and

which translations of ukrainian works will soon appear on the shelves of american stores ? will see three poems by lesya ukrainka, serhiy's novel, the longed-for bread truce, a collection of works by taras prokhaska, the city of pydhogylin, by olena styazhkina, sofia andruhovych and oksana lutsyshina, a total of 14 books. as part of the new project, the harvard library of ukrainian literature, until then, the institute was very focused on various medieval projects . which are very fundamental in

order to win back ukraine's heritage kyiv rus included sculptural heritage. that's it. we understood that the current situation has changed. ukraine has appeared as an independent state. ukrainian society has appeared. ukrainian writers can write and be published. that's how it has accordingly changed the emphasis on how ukrainian is studied in the field of ukraine and society and culture. a scientist who must first receive an appropriate education, then find a position in which he or she could work and engage in scientific work, and then the result of this scientific work would be a scientific book, and sometimes it takes up to 10 years, however, in a new project, the challenge is that we constantly do it in our free time from the main job, since translations are paid little, our task , which we see from our side, is to pay such

translators the market value of their work so that they can afford to work more on translations in order to to have a certain gender of translators on whom one could always rely, for example, and that you translate things yourself as soon as they come out in ukraine, because the more high-quality translations of ukrainian and the more chances that ukrainian literature will be taught in american universities, says kotsyuba, because today teachers and students have practically nothing to work with, the popularization of ukrainian books will also contribute to the promotion of ukrainian books, so here he collaborates with leading ukrainian designers, these are

real doors in those basements of isolation we wanted the same. when you open this book. this is the door. it is still closed, but it is already open. you enter the book . and then you go out and it will close behind you. and it is very important, that is, these aspects . words for a few more years that's why ukrainian literature was classified like the former soviet union or russia with the appearance of a larger amount of translated ukrainian literature, a platform like amazon is forced to think about the categorization of these things, the categories of ukrainian literature have not changed, they have not yet appeared on amazon, by the way, they protested against this, but we were ignored, but at least now ukrainian literature is classified in the eastern and central european region, the translation of a publishing house of one book costs several

tens of thousands of dollars, kotsyuba says as a non-commercial publishing house, the institute can afford not to make money from publishing books, and they see their mission as something else, so that at some point we prove the profitability of ukrainian books for a commercial publisher. because only when a commercial publisher enters this field, we can also hope for some kind of mass distribution of ukrainian literature in 2022. the war says that the demand for ukrainian books has increased sharply , but there was a lack of supply. today, the situation is changing . literature was extremely high but there were simply no quality translations of quality publications on the market that could satisfy this demand, we can see everything from the sales of those books that appeared, say, in the 22nd year. this is the book of volodymyr feyenko - this is the book of maryan kiyanovska. for example, this is the book of stanislav asev. at the same time, since the 23rd year, we can already see the slowing down of these trends

, the publisher says that at the cost of terrible human losses , the beast should paid attention to ukraine and its culture , kotsyuba plans to publish a book, a house for a house , by the writer victoria melina, who during kramatorsk's shelling was injured in the compatibility of life and the feeling of which she said that the situation of the fired revival is repeated only now ukrainian writers and thinkers kill rockets and not and not shot in the back of the

back of abroad should finally work and system providing grants for publishers and writers, he says, for himself, kotsyuba has set a goal of publishing at least five translations a year, this will allow not only to familiarize english-speaking readers with modern ukrainian literature, but also for the writer himself to apply for and receive prestigious literary prizes and awards from boston . i ask for a few minutes of your attention and hope please look carefully at the photo of this 12-year-old boy, his name is damira stimenko and he went missing. he went missing at the beginning of october in mykolaiv, and there is still no news about him. his whereabouts are unknown . his mother asked us to help find him. i talked to the woman and she gave some details about the circumstances of
