[000:00:00;00] nipples are wooden, in the spring of 2022, this traitor performed in sochi , there she did not hesitate to perform the song provence, which mentions boryspil airport, which the russians began to attack in the first hours of the war, despite the war in her native country, she continues to live and perform in russia . elka has a large three-story house near moscow on 500 m² on the territory, an observation deck, a swimming pool, a gym and a music studio yolka has never once spoken about the war in ukraine and never condemned the aggressor country russia, and silence is a sign of consent, soon our armed forces will liberate ukraine

from the aggressors and i will say to putin's for the sellers this is what all of you musicians should remember for the occupier's concerts , you should be held accountable, i want you the kremlin rubles , you fell in love very much and for the betrayal of ukraine, you were forever ashamed, join the creation of a collaborator program, send information about the kremlin pro-protonists to us on facebook or to e-mail, let's send them together in the wake of the russian ship, we'll see in a week on the air espresso on the air from washington, the program of the ukrainian service of the voice of america, time, i'm yuliya yarmolenko congratulations, the black sea remains the most efficient way to transport ukrainian grain, but washington is working with allies and partners in europe

to find alternative ways , raduzhna's representative for us security, john kirby, said at a briefing in the white house on wednesday, let's listen to the most efficient way to transport grain by ship is the best the way to export the maximum amount of grain in modern terms, you can use the railway or trucks, you can consider probably others against the european union, but you must export the grain from ukraine in order to be able to use other eu ports, so there is no more effective way than sea transport, this is a scientific fact, a physical fact, but we will continue to work with our partners in europe to see if there are other alternative ways, this is to shell odesa, block russia and the black sea, and the failure of the grain initiative became the main topics of the special meeting of the un security council on wednesday, the meeting was held at the request of ukraine, whether the un sees alternative ways

of exporting ukrainian grain as proposed force russia to end the blockade of the black sea, we will ask iryna solomko about this, who followed the meeting and joined the broadcast from the un headquarters in new york. they offer to force russia to stop its destructive actions and what did we hear at the security council meeting today or in the last 10 days since russia announced its suspension of membership in the black sea grain initiative security council for the third time are gathering to discuss food security in the world, respectively, security in the situation in ukraine over the weekend , the situation escalated very much because russia started its missile terror of odesa and the port infrastructure, and this was talked about a lot today during the meeting, a lot of people condemned these actions and, of course, called

for an end to the shelling and war, because now, in addition to ukraine and ukrainians, the consequences of these actions of russia are felt by the most vulnerable countries and , accordingly, their population, for example , the permanent representative of the united states at the united nations and thomas greenphile speaking and said that only one shelling of russia destroyed more than 60,000 tons of ukrainian grain, so it was possible to feed more than 200-70,000 people for a year. in addition, she also noted that , for example, the grain infrastructure of the port of the natives was destroyed, the sea port through which 70 % of ukrainian exports is for a developing country, therefore the situation is extremely difficult, the markets are reacting to this, there is a lot of concern, therefore representatives of the member countries of the security council called for an end to this. reminded that the port infrastructure and, in principle, the destruction of infrastructure, as well as civilian infrastructure, cannot be the object of military objects, this is a gross violation of international norms and norms of international humanitarian law yuliu

iryna does he see the black sea grain initiatives as an alternative yes last week it was like that a statement from the minister of foreign affairs, and only russia reported that it was taking the initiative that ukraine called on turkey and the un to continue existing agreements without russia , there was a lot of hope for this because, for example, according to the words of the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, he believes that only political will is needed to be able to do this, but unfortunately, during this week , they did not talk about it, and even today, during the meeting, there were still calls to force and persuade russia to do everything - to return to the grain initiative, it is obvious that, after all, even though ion wanted all these things to happen within the framework of this organization and that is why they said that this was the exit or the second

exit - it is simply the end of the war accordingly, the unblocking of ukrainian exports, colleagues, russia is persistently trying to prevent ukrainian grain from entering world markets, therefore it unilaterally suspended participation in the black sea grain initiative , only one country uses food as a weapon , only one country cynically uses its grain as leverage to gain the support of other countries, and only one country responsible for suspending the black sea grain initiative we must all urge russia to end its attacks on the global food supply expand security and fully implement the black sea grain initiative, and we must continue to hold russia accountable for its unprovoked illegal war against ukraine, discuss from the un podium a completely different topic of promoting its narratives, what it was and how

it succeeded. shelled odessa and practically destroyed the feast of the transfiguration cathedral in odessa, invited a meeting regarding the oppression of canonical orthodoxy in ukraine, this is not the first meeting that they have initiated, and it is clear that it was obvious that she would again try to use the security council to spread her propaganda and regulations , and it was also visible because of this. whom did she try to invite as briefers, and this is in particular the odious writer jan er-e toksyur, who was convicted of treason in ukraine and then, under exchange, they handed over to russia, as well as the former archbishop of the uoc mp gdo, to the united kingdom. she is, in fact, the head of the security council. she said that since after this meeting there was to be exactly this second the meeting is devoted to the situation in odessa and food security in general. and there can only be two briefings

and i had to make a choice about who should speak. she refused to do it and accordingly accused the members of the security council and in particular great britain of oppressing orthodox priests, and therefore, of course, after that there was the meeting itself russia accused ukraine of the same and mentioned metropolitan pavlo and what is happening in the kiev-pechersk lavra about that. looking at how you ambassadors from other countries reacted to this, it was clear that in fact, the world is very well aware of what is happening in ukraine , what are the reasons for these criminal cases against , for example, the same metropolitan and pavlo , and also, for example, when speaking, they talked about the fact that they, in fact, that russia is committing religious oppression in the occupied territories yuliu thank you iryna thank you for the fact that iryna solomko was a senior follower of what was happening in the organization of the united nations in connection with the headquarters in new york, probably no one else follows

so closely the development of the situation around export of ukrainian grain as agrarians working in ukraine my colleagues anna kostichenko and pavel sukhodolskyi met with a german farmer who has been working in ukraine for almost 25 years and asked him about whether agrarians will be able to get by in the land corridor and how they see the prospects of grain export their story continues - vice director of a german agricultural enterprise located in the kyiv region, at the beginning of the russian invasion supports the armed forces of ukraine , at the end of june, his company organized a charity fair and with the proceeds they bought a drone for the front and later grateful fighters sent bitrich a signed banner for the collected money, we bought a drone, i made a contribution and the company made i don’t know exactly where the fighters are, but somewhere near the contact line, the children grew up on a farm in bavaria in 1999 first came

to ukraine and decided to stay here in 2017, started cooperation with a german agricultural investor in the kyiv region, who at that time owned about four and a half thousand hectares. last year, despite the war, the company even expanded says ditriv, we have bought another 2,000 hectares . now we will carry out preventive maintenance on the machines and continue harvesting after lunch. this is a new combine bought this year . man. we plan to collect 35-40 thousand tons . $20 per ton does not seem like much, but if you multiply it by 40,000 tons, it is a lot of money, according to

dietrich's calculations, his company can lose about a million dollars only in land transportation, the german farmer also fears that the russians can destroy the grain already in the ports if it takes a long time if the port hangars are destroyed, then not only our economy but also all ukrainian farmers will suffer. i hope for turkey and western countries, but most of all on turkey, because it has the greatest possibilities of influence with proper ventilation, it can be stored for several years, says the agrarian, so the grain is harvested. there will be problems with saving next year's harvest, at this time i will have to empty my warehouse to save the new crop, i can even store grain for two years without loss of quality, but then where to put the new crop, the world market reacted to

russia's exit from the grain agreement by increasing prices, so no more, now the poor will suffer countries that will be forced to buy grain at a higher price, the agrarian says, poor people suffer the most. if you spend 70% of your income on food, then 10% on the river, this is already a lot for the west and the usa . cutters are not so critical, but poor people the form itself will suffer for a long time despite the war and the uncertainty about the further export of children-tris is not going to return to germany i was born here i married here i put a lot of time and energy into this work and the farm i have a good relationship with the locals i don't want to lose it i can certainly say goodbye and leave, but if i do, then only when i want to and not because putin forced me. i want to stay. i love my work, this country, and i never intended to leave here. i

believe in this economy and in agrarian ukraine business if now there is a recession, then there will be an upswing and on kostyuchenko pavel suhodoskyi for the voice of america from the kyiv region in the conditions of the blockade of ukrainian ports, which russia sent after withdrawing from the black sea initiative, the main route for ukrainian exports has become transportation through the neighboring states of the european union, these are the so-called ways of solidarity, however now a group of countries led by poland, slovakia, hungary, romania and bulgaria declare that the eu should limit the flow of grain from ukraine and prevent a sharp drop in grain prices in order to protect agricultural producers in these countries, will the export of ukrainian grain become the main test of european solidarity, let's talk about it with our correspondent in london, bohdan tsyupin bohdan welcome, why is poland, one of the biggest

allies of ukraine, creating certain obstacles on the way to the export of ukrainian grain and how much it can harm ukraine yuliya think that it is right to talk about poland as the best example of ukraine's neighbor, which helps ukraine the most and also obviously worries about the internal situation and poland itself actually became a leader in this coalition of five states that call themselves front-line states bordering ukraine, as well as adding to them bulgaria and so , on the example of poland, autumn is now approaching . the harvest is approaching in poland, when that country will obviously have its additional

grain and does not want ukraine's grain to be added to the polish market, because it will obviously lower prices if the influx is large, therefore the recently introduced restrictions of the european union on the import of grain are already existing, precisely all five countries, poland supports that they should be extended so that they should be extended with the deadline of september 15th, when they should have run out by the end of this year, the important thing is that not only the harvest in poland is approaching, but also the elections that should be held by the end of the year, and it is obvious that the party in power wants to show itself defender of the interests of polish voters and in particular polish farmers, but at the same time the poles claim that they do not want to block ukrainian exports, they do not want to harm ukraine and, in particular, about certain ways out of the situation, the polish minister

of agriculture spoke after a meeting with colleagues in the european union, this is our creation of a coalition of five, the cooperation of the five is not directed against anyone. and for our farmers, first of all, but also if we create good mechanisms, it will also be good for the european union, they will also serve for ukraine. that is why he is his life , a holiday, we are here we are talking about legal financial instruments and also about the construction of infrastructure, because for example the case of lithuania , latvia and estonia - this is a case of railway connection, the tracks just need to be built , we talked about something else nobody, you should yes we talked about the fact that quick decisions of the european commission are needed in this case so that we build that tool for the future. i think that it will be successful, bohdana. in short , can such a position of these frontline countries

harm ukraine, if the problem is not solved, if ways of transit of ukrainian grain are not found so that it does not settle in individual countries and does not create problems. one of the ways is , for example, subsidies for the transportation of ukrainian grain by land to make transportation cheaper to make ukrainian grain is more profitable on the world market , as well as the creation of new routes, for example, a railway connection to the baltic countries. lithuania, latvia, and estonia have declared that they really want to transport ukrainian grain through their ports, it is only

necessary to deliver it there. i am satisfied with what was heard from brussels today, because there are ways to end the blockade of ukrainian ports in the black sea, as mentioned in your question. the meeting was not proposed by the ukraine nato council, and it is obvious that it could not be proposed, it is about the use of the consultation mechanism in the form of this council, the consultation mechanism between ukraine and nato members, according to the new rules, ukraine has the right to convene this consultation took place, what do we have as a result, we have as a result, in particular, the statement of the secretary general of nato, which consists in the fact that he confirms that nato declares its firm intentions to protect every centimeter of the territory of the member countries

of the alliance, and since ukraine is not a member of the alliance, it is about the fact that nato undertakes to support and help ukraine , not to defend its territory, i emphasize that it is also said here in the text that the allies of the nato countries are intensifying their actions in the black sea region , in particular, intensifying surveillance and development with the use of maritime patrols, as well as the use of unmanned aerial vehicles e and in general, we are talking about statements about assistance to ukraine in hostilities against russia. he is very grateful to bohdan for this clarification

. my colleague bohdan tsyupan was in contact with london for in the past year and a half, americans began to be interested not only in ukrainian politics and history , but also in ukrainian literature, in particular, fiction, as told in a bookstore in downtown washington, the popularity of ukrainian-themed publications is still not decreasing , are enough books by ukrainian authors published in the united states, and what americans read about ukraine in the plot iryna shynkarenko this is happy falls yevhenii belorussian this is the newest collection of short stories and it is very popular i chose it for several reasons i like short story collections and it is a ukrainian author and it was it was published in english in a very timely manner, right at the beginning of the invasion. kramer's bookstore in downtown washington displays an english translation published in the usa by the ukrainian photographer and writer yevgenia belorussiats and with stories about the life of people from eastern ukraine against the background of the war. there is also an english-language collection of works about sofia's war and yury andruhovych lyubkaderisha oksana zabuzhko serhiy zhadana and other loves in spite of pain

ukrainian story it was published in may of last year by an american publishing house interest in ukrainian authors increased significantly last year. we have an anthology of fiction written by ukrainians and it is very popular because people are simply curious about what life is like there . of a full-scale invasion, they really wanted to know before the history so they bought the book gate of europe in large numbers to know the history of relations between the two countries this the book has been a classic of literature about european history for a long time, it is a book that should be on the shelves of a respectable bookstore of books by ukrainian authors

here. they say in the store, the americans took apart books and about the history of russia and the biography of putin , we made an exposition of ukrainian historical books, as well as in many russian historical books, in particular those focused on the personality cult of putin, they sold very well for about 3 months and then after about three months everything kind of decreased. i think that many people who were most interested in the books at that time bought them and that is why we removed this exposition and since then they have come out new books about the invasion and they are selling quite well, although interest in historical publications has decreased a little now , there is a demand for ukrainian authors among americans, they say, in bookstores, however , they are being added, not as many have been published as i would like cabbage we sell several collections of stories by ukrainian authors that have been translated and presented and they sell quite well , so i think that there is a need for such

books now, there are not so many of them on the shelves, the publishing industry needs time to go from the level of interest of the audience to the publication itself to printing and sending to stores, i know that there are also american authors who write about ukraine, they appear in hardcover right now from such publications, kramer's chose for sale the book the invasion of the british journalist luke hardinka and novel calling-ukraine by the author from the usa, yohanne salichtman, about a young american, you moved to ukraine before the full-scale war , they admit that they did not sell ukrainian authors in bookstores at all, now when buying books, they pay attention to the origin of the writers before the invasion, i did not wonder where the author from russia came from or from ukraine i didn't think about nationality, only about the book, after that i started thinking about nationality because it might interest

my buyers i always take demographics into account customers in our store, which is located in a very liberal area, so i think that as they become interested in history and politics against the background of interest due to the war, ukrainian authors have a unique opportunity to enter the rather closed book market in the usa, says oleg kotsyuba, head of the publishing house of the ukrainian research institute at harvard, first of all nobody really knew much about ukraine until now, that is , they didn't really know that ukraine has a large, rich and diverse culture of literature and writing and reading and so on. accordingly, it has never been at the center of any efforts from the other side of the state. ukraine has done very little so far to popularize ukrainian writers of ukrainian literature. as such, only recently has some effective and targeted work in this direction begun, which helps not to promote ukrainian books in the united states, says oleg.

ukrainians who live in america, if these bags will be in trend, they will be bestsellers and so on, here they will write a book about them, merchants will buy them and put them up for sale, and so on it goes without saying that the support of the government is needed in order to organize large-scale events, say festivals of ukrainian literature or something similar, where it would be possible to have a mass representation of ukrainian literature . kremers , it is important for ukrainian authors to get on the pages of reviews in well-known magazines, which is the best advertisement iryna shynkarenko iryna matviychuk oleksiy osyka voice of america week in washington, ukrainian chefs yevhen klopotenko and dmytro martsenyuk organized a charity dinner where they presented seven dishes and an endless number of stories about ukrainian cuisine, the event took place in the ruta restaurant, the first

ukrainian restaurant in washington , the proceeds will go to the purchase of food for the ukrainian army and people in the liberated territories however, as washington met new and traditional ukrainian recipes, my colleague kateryna lisonova learned that capitol hill had not seen ukrainian cuisine until here the first ukrainian ruta restaurant did not open in april of this year, and today, a few months after its opening , the first charity fundraiser to help ukraine takes place. seven of them were chefs in a rainbow in a cult ukrainian restaurant in new york, a year and a half ago he moved to washington and opened

the first ukrainian restaurant in the american in the capital, there is not a single ukrainian restaurant in the three states and i moved here without hesitation. it was not easy before i opened the route. i spent 15 months . that is, it was a difficult long road, but thank god we opened and can treat everyone to ukrainian food and continue to develop ukraine after my huge experience in new york, then everyone knew what borscht was, dumplings and darunas, and so on and cabbage rolls, washington is enough, uh, enough, how to say it correctly , this is a novelty for them nowadays dmytro and his friend from student days, yevhen klopotenko organized a charity dinner to introduce modern and traditional ukrainian dishes and help

the motherland . to raise funds and show ukraine education and that our marten rock and roll on the air there were seven original dishes and also in the story about the history of ukraine cuisine, for example, fish with a lack of meat, begmes - this is watermelon jam, very simple , very popular, kherson kherson dish is, well, accordingly, there is a lot of dnipro, there is a lot of fish, and it is obvious that fish is a sign of meat. like frequent it just eat it's much more i've never tasted anything like it it's something unique and very tasty we also tasted a wonderful ukrainian borscht when i worked

in poland last year this dish is the most memorable to me i meet ukraine so i somewhat familiar with ukrainian cuisine because people are interested they want to know more and as someone who grew up in the united states i want to selfishly add that it's also great for ukrainian americans who want to learn more about the history of their cuisine i know it's delicious because i ate it at home but i don't necessarily know the history, i don't know what my ancestors ate in the past, so it's a great experience both for those who discover something new and for ukrainians who want to know more according to the petitioner, such events are also important to to understand the tastes of the american consumer for the further popularization of ukrainian cuisine abroad. the chef does not look far into the future. he says that the most important thing now is victory in

the war, but he promises to return to the united states more than once . it will definitely be 100 more times. the main thing is to win the war, and then everything else will be very difficult to say, of course i plan and as it will be , it will be at the event, five guests will be invited, the tickets for the invited dinner cost 200 dollars, the money will be transferred founded by yevhen klopotenko non-governmental organization institute of culture of ukraine for the purchase of food for the ukrainian army as well as for people in the liberated territories kateryna lisunova vyacheslav filyushkin voice of america washington and that 's the end of it thank you for watching voice of america in ukrainian see you tomorrow for everything
