. welcome to the broadcast of the program of the ukrainian voice of america time and i am its host ostap yarysh today the former president of the united states donald trump appears in front of the federal court in washington where he will be charged with trying to overturn his defeat in the 2020 elections trump's supporters came to washington to protest and to to prevent provocations around the court building , security measures have been increased at the scene of the incident, our journalist oleksiy kovalenko is working , we will ask him more, oleksiy. congratulations, what is happening in front of the court and what are its developments events we are expecting today. please tell me more details from the place of events. congratulations to ostapa. in fact, a lot of

people have gathered here at the trial. since yesterday , people have started gathering here, including supporters and opponents of trump and those who say that he should be released and not condemned, that everyone these criminal cases against trump are futile accusations and all of them are false. and those who believe that trump should be arrested and that he should be sentenced, media representatives began to gather here since video yesterday just yesterday regional, national and international media began to gather here today there are even more people and of course there are a lot of police here minute by minute we expect former us president donald trump to arrive here where a will be read to him in court in about an hour the indictment itself, the judge will tell him more about the case itself , more about the indictment against him, his fingerprints will be taken, and trump will have the opportunity to either plead

guilty or not guilty under the relevant articles charges according to trump's response to previous cases, according to the way his team responded and according to the previous criminal charges brought against trump, it is expected that the former president of the united states will most likely plead not guilty to all four counts of criminal charges brought against him this week oleksiy , we know how serious this case is in general compared to others. so this is already the third criminal charge brought against the former president. and how long can the proceedings last? this case now should we expect it to be resolved before the election in november 2024 actually just like other criminal cases this case is very serious these are very serious criminal charges and one of the articles uh in which article is the article of the charges we heard about this week in it is about an attempt from the language of the public right of people to have their votes counted and

the accusation under this article provides for up to 20 years of imprisonment and we do not know how much more in general it is, but today donald trump himself voiced the number 561 years to him threatens, according to him, for all the criminal articles of the indictment and the previous two criminal cases and for this case today, in fact, for this case of the criminal indictment against trump this is only the beginning, this is only the first day , again, he will be read the details of the indictment read to him and he admits guilty or newsworthy, but this process can last months, this process can even last years, despite the fact that the preliminary expectations of the prosecution are that the verdict will be handed down next year in may, and we will we be able to learn more about the details of the actual process about the details of uh how will the process develop and how long will it take from the former federal prosecutor if we have

her quote we can listen to her right now you will inform him of the charges against him he is going to plead not guilty the judge can set a very initial schedule but this is a magistrate judge not a district court judge his job at this stage is to start the case and advise the defendant on the charges you know most federal cases the vast majority are decided in court, this is a very small percentage that goes to court, but considering what is at stake here, who is the defendant here, these cases will undoubtedly go to court, i mean, but it is simply difficult to imagine a decision to which the former president agreed. i think that the announcement of the terms of consideration things are very ambitious, i do not think that the date for the consideration of documents in may will be met. it is difficult to imagine that this date will be met, taking into account everything that can happen from this moment, and frankly, the former

president has the right to participate in his for his own defense to prepare to work with his lawyers, that is why it is not unusual when a federal case really takes several years, you know oleksiy and what does the defense of the former president say, how can these criminal charges against trump affect his election campaign, in fact , donald trump himself, his defense rejects all the charges he says it's delusional and that it's a witch hunt, in fact he compared the criminal charge against him to charges from the time of nazi germany in 1931 or the time of the soviet union and trump's defense, in particular, his lawyer rudy giuliani, who is behind everything for reporting to journalists that there are accusations, but his name is not announced, emphasized that it will be very difficult to determine whether donald trump actually knew that his statements about are the 2020 elections fake or are they true and how

will this affect most likely we see now the consolidation of the republic we see that 53% of republicans are ready to vote but how will this affect the general election in general we will will continue to monitor oleksii. thank you very much for your work. oleksii kovalenko joined our broadcast from the central court in washington, where we expect no indictment for trump's investigation. oleksii . thank you. well, i hope that moscow will really carefully monitor the consultations regarding the ukrainian peace formula in saudi arabia and then he will see that more and more countries understand that what russia did was not provoked illegally and violates the un charter , my colleagues yulia yarmolenko said in an exclusive interview with john kirby, a representative of the council

from the national security of the usa, one of the goals of the meeting in saudi arabia was to gain more support for zelenskyi's peace plan, particularly among the countries of the global south , a continuous process. and you continue to communicate and try to implement zelenskyi's peace formula, this is not peace negotiations, this is non-negotiable regarding the end of the war, this is a completely different set of circumstances and people should not look at judy's meeting as a forum through which certain and tangible results will be achieved, it is actually about an ongoing conversation about what this might look like peace formula so no negotiations. i would say two more things to your questions. first, it is obvious that each nation must decide for itself how much it will attribute to itself , will associate itself with zelenskyi's peace formula, and can definitely decide for itself how much when and if there will be peace negotiations . what role will they be able to want to play what we have already said nothing about

ukraine without ukraine and therefore every time mr. zelensky is ready to sit down at the table with putin and it seems that this will not happen soon, we said and will continue to say that zelenskyi's prospects ukraine's prospects they must be a fundamental element they must be fully respected during the negotiations but again, we are not there yet mr. putin has not shown any signs that he is ready to host negotiations on the contrary i mean that only in the last 24:48 hours we are seeing more attacks on the shipment of grain on the danube river. i mean that he is doing everything possible and you are not only trying to keep territory that does not belong to him in the east of ukraine, but to limit ukraine's ability to export food and foodstuffs to many countries of the world, in particular, about what we talked about earlier in the global south, i certainly hope that they in moscow are watching this and i hope that they understand

why more and more . it is completely timely here, it is the same un charter that many of these countries have signed and will continue to sign the principles of territorial integrity and sovereignty. i also hope that when they observe this, the russians understand that more and more countries are beginning to understand, in particular with regard to the grain initiative, that mr. putin's rash decision to withdraw from this grain agreement makes them the most important, it is exacerbating the existing conditions of hunger in many countries and deepening the lack of food security in places all over the global cock, this month the presidency of the un security council has been taken over by the united states today the security council held a high-level debate dedicated to global food security, it was opened by us secretary of state anthony blinken, the debate

was monitored from the un headquarters in new york by our correspondent iryna solomko, we will talk with her in more detail iryna i congratulate you, why is the current meeting important and what should you not have followed that we were the essence of it greetings ostap uh, yes, the meeting was important, first of all , because of its topic, because it is the first time in three years uh the security council has gathered to discuss the topic of hunger. it is through the prism of conflicts, that is, hunger is caused by conflicts in general, that is, the topic of fighting hunger and food security is one of the priorities of the united states and the brothers at the un, they declared this a few years ago, and since then, not practically every presidency, they hold a number of powerful events dedicated to this topic, and in principle, even initiate certain practical steps. and that's why, that is, this time they started their presidency with this event, this is a high-level debate, that is, apart from mr. olympian, there were there are also a number of foreign ministers of other countries present, in addition, the united states also initiated a communique, which, in principle

, to sign, undertakes to stop using hunger and food as such weapons during conflicts, and even now these comedians have signed just one country . but if we talk about the data and why it is still important to pay attention to this topic, then also about the scale of this problem, today it was heard that in the last year the number of people who suffer from hunger because the lack of food due to conflicts has greatly increased and according to the un, 366,000 people live in youth, in fact, in seven countries where conflicts are currently raging, and another 35 million they live on the brink of starvation secretary of state anthony blinkin, did you listen to his speech this morning, what did he focus on, so ostap, since, as i have already mentioned, this topic is a priority for the united states, in fact, mr. blinkin tried to show the leadership of the united states in this matter, so of course he emphasized once again unfortunately, in recent times

, conflicts are caused by hunger, not even to a lesser extent, by climate change than it was a few years ago. and that's why , for example, he also recalled segment of this country in africa, where it has already been recorded that people say that they simply boil leaves and this is called cold food, and in addition, he mentioned, for example, the resolution that was adopted by the security council 5 years ago , and it of such artificial hunger during conflicts. and that this should be a war crime , but unfortunately you should stop the parties to the conflicts from applying such measures, but because it does not stop it, and it certainly did not happen without the issue of ukraine, he said that is, that the black sea training initiative worked, but unfortunately, russia knows that on july 17, when russia withdrew from the grain

agreement about ignoring the calls of the world , grain prices around the world rose by more than 8%. the ministry of foreign affairs of kenya called russia's move, i quote, a stab in the back. the kremlin claims that it terminated the agreement due to international sanctions that limit the export of its agricultural products. in fact , the sanctions directly exclude food and fertilizers, in fact, at the time of the withdrawal from participation in the initiative russia exported more grain and prices were higher than ever before what was russia's response to the suffering and outrage of the world shelling of ukrainian grain warehouses mining port entrances threats to attack any vessel in the black sea regardless of its flag or cargo numbers iryna or said in anthony blinkin something about alternative ways of exporting grain from ukraine. yes, before that, i wanted whiskey

from the representative of russia, he tried to take away this leadership in this matter from the united states states said that it was really russia and the former soviet union that really took care of these issues. and for western countries, this is a conjunctural issue . are quite controlling, then we should not hope for that , however, mr. rymkin said that at the moment he does not have the opportunity to use the sea. but while russia is shelling it and now you can hear his quote and even if, for example there was an efficient and safe way to move food from the sea from the south the fact that russia is shelling ports and production facilities the granary itself as long as this goes on it's going to be incredibly difficult so i think that's what we really have to look at is what russia is definitely doing iryna thank you for

your work iryna solomko joined us from the un headquarters in new york, meanwhile, in poland, they are wary of new provocations from russia and belarus and are preparing for the fact that their number will increase, the polish prime minister said meteo zhmuritskyi today he urgently met with the president of lithuania gta sesoda to discuss the troubled situation in the region, the meeting took place near the suval corridor of the margion, which connects the territory of the baltic countries with poland and also borders the kaliningrad region of russia and belarus . you can see on our borders on the borders of lithuania on our borders, on the border with lithuania, all types of hybrid attacks are taking place that we have seen in the last two years . russia and belarus are increasing the pressure on our

borders, increasing the number of provocations, and we must be aware that the number of these provocations will increase, we talked about this earlier with the president at the sitting, this is what the provocation is. this is what the intrigues on the part of putin lukashenko are in order to destabilize in order to create unrest, chaos, uncertainty and at the same time show the weakness of the eastern myroslava gongadze also visited the nato flank to all our nato partners on the polish-belarusian border about the concerns of local residents and how poland is strengthening its security, she told on the air of the voice of america briefing can we watch a fragment of our conversation, what is the current situation in the border areas of belarus and poland? we heard that something is wrong , mateusz muravetskyi's statement that there is a certain security threat, are you there, how does it feel, what is happening , please share with us yes, i actually came to the polish there is a white border precisely in order to translate what is happening here and to feel

it from the citizens here and from the volunteers who work in this forest in this bialowieza e-e forest because it is these borders here a lot of migrants, illegal migrants pass through the polish-polish-belarusian border. and what do the local volunteers tell me that in fact this is the wall that the polish authorities put up. it is 186 km long. the wall between belarus and poland is five meters high. we removed this wall. let's show you, yes, this wall turns out to be possible, you can even cut it, there are mechanisms to do it, and no, it's not . they pass through the wall, but it seems like illegal migrants can pass, it's a huge problem

for this region, because the volunteers say that literally yesterday they met 13 13 illegal migrants here and also in the last two years since this tension between poland and belarus has been going on here they have already found 300 dead bodies in this forest of these migrants how does it feel here in in fact, the city lives its own life, quite calmly , i can’t say that there is tension, but behind me, this parking lot was completely filled with polish military two days ago, because the polish authorities sent here to reinforce the polish-belarusian border, and now we saw right next to the wall there are a lot of security guards, a lot of polish soldiers who monitor the situation at the border, we talked to some of them informally, but they did not comment on the camera, but they talked to us quite friendly. we

also met tourists here right near the border, near this muru those who worked work in the european parliament and came to see how protected this eastern border is, so what is the situation for such a border? the fact that a few days ago there were troops literally at the place where you are standing, poland was shifting its armed forces in order to ok ok ok ok to fortify the border in the context of this , you know what i remember the situation that made a lot of noise and discussions in the last week about a- and the helicopters that crossed the polish border from the side of belarus at a low altitude , how do they react to this in poland , how seriously do they treat such reckless risks

? you know, again, these are the volunteers with whom i spoke, they are the ones who actually recorded these helicopters that crossed into the polish-belarusian border , they were belarusian helicopters, i will literally talk to the woman who recorded this on camera and they it was already reported here, and this information was made public, and the polish authorities reacted to it quite cautiously, in fact, from the very beginning, they did not want to confirm that an incident had occurred, but in the end, the ministry of defense of poland confirmed that two helicopters crossed the border at a fairly low altitude. of course, the belarusian authorities deny it, the russian authorities deny it, but it is so, so, in this way of testing, and in fact , local residents are a little damaged here, because they say, on the one hand, the polish authorities tell us that we are safe, and on the other hand, here

to you, the helicopter crossed the border and nothing happened, that is, they are in some way worried about the reaction of the militia. what reaction did you see? consultations with the countries of the alliance, the countries of nato and the eu countries, this fact of the meeting with the president of novosibirsk is also a part of these consultations, and it was he who, by the way, said that according to their estimates, up to four thousand wagnerian soldiers are on the territory of belarus near their borders and that is why they are wary of any provocations since the tragedy in the volyn colony . one year passed on the night of july 29, 2022.

ukrainian prisoners were being received in the detention center. there was an explosion. more than 50 soldiers were killed and dozens were injured, it is still impossible to determine what happened that night, because russia does not allow ukraine or international organizations to the scene of the crime, but independent investigators have found out new circumstances of what happened more in the plot of maria ulyanovska announcement of the release of the ukrainian military from zarstali to capture in may 2022 gave ukrainians hope despite all the lives of the defenders managed to save, but within two months faith in salvation was overshadowed by a tragedy in one of the premises of the oleniv colony in donetsk region, where the azov prisoners were held, they were blown up, then 53 ukrainian prisoners of war died, out of 193 of them, the bodies of 33 of the dead were held there, and the bodies were returned

to the territory under the control of ukraine. the bodies were identified. another 24 have not yet been identified. from the azov regiment, and according to this list, they gathered people and their staff to the territory of the industrial zone of this prison, and later, for three days at night, when people were sleeping peacefully, they set off an explosion. russia to blame the tragedies of ukraine, they say so, the armed forces of ukraine tested the newest weapon provided by the united states, a long-range volley fire system , highs, this version was almost immediately refuted at the institute for the study of war, the damage was not at all the same as from the heimers strike, almost a year after the terrorist attack, he also rejected russia's claims that the prisoners of war were killed by the strike missiles ukraine insists russia staged an explosion in volynivka to cover up the ill-treatment of ukrainian prisoners, and the security service published a video of the alleged

interception of telephone conversations of the occupiers in which they confirm that the russian troops fired at the place of detention of the azov residents from these cities and there was no ukrainian media initiative for human rights for a while. and take out the bodies of the dead, now they prove that russia was preparing a terrorist attack against the volyn residents in advance, er, our survey proves that this er, you, these explosions were prepared first er, in this battle all the servicemen who belonged to the azov regiment turned out to be, secondly, they were collected according to specially prepared lists in advance, which included people from different units of the regiment, that is, from different companies, and some of them were even well-known to

each other, thirdly, in front of that day when i was transferring azov people in this bar and this barrack was completely unprepared to receive people uh and it is also important why exactly uh it was decided to use the fourth that was transferred to azov people on that day, that is, the so-called head of the colony came who i told them clearly that we are transferring you to this barrack, it will be for a short time, then we will transfer you somewhere else, that is, the leadership knew exactly where they were being transferred and why they were being transferred, and that during the day before the explosion at night, all the servicemen were actually driven according to the lists into this parade, they were nobody they were not allowed to go outside. although this barrack-type colony, before that, servicemen in other barracks and these azov soldiers could go outside at night and because of the heat they could spend the night on the street on the street, they were all gathered there

and told that even the toilet was not allowed to go out because if it is possible, only one eyewitness claims that there were three explosions , one outside and two more inside barak itself, they caused the death and serious injuries of everyone who was there. for three hours, they did not allow medical personnel to reach people, and some of the people simply lost blood, according to eyewitnesses collected by human rights defenders , ambulances were at the gates of the colony half an hour after the explosions, but the wounded they did not take them between two and three in the morning to the alley along the outer wall of the colony, they let other captured medics in, witnesses said that the wounded began to be evacuated to donetsk hospitals only around five in the morning , this is a scary picture when a medic from the ilyich plant tells us that the azov

crawled or crawled again they did not have traumatic amputations of limbs they mean these they screamed and the administration at that moment stood and drank coffee next to them and mocked them saying certain phrases she addressed in azov, on july 28, 2023, the sbu reported the suspicion to the former head of the olenivka colony, serhii yevsyukov, but the investigation of the terrorist attack is progressing slowly, because ukraine does not have access to the crime scene . similarly, other international un organizations disbanded the mission to establish the facts of the olenivka shelling because russia refused to provide the necessary security guarantees and access to the crime scene, the families of the prisoners also complain about the inaction of the international committee of the red cross under whose security guarantees the azovians and were captured, he has not fulfilled his function since the release of our boys from captivity, it was stated that they should at least

allocate some representatives of their organization to the places where our boys were received in order to record the adequacy of the conditions for the fulfillment of the geneva convention on the part of the russians, and they still have not found an opportunity to get to the places of detention of our captured ukrainian heroes and we are currently also talking about this everywhere , no matter who we meet with, about the fact that the red cross does not fulfill what it says according to the statute, he does not do everything to save life, he does not collect information, the only method of gathering information, uh, is calling the families and asking: can you say something or do you have any new information about your family member ? offered their efforts to evacuate the dead and wounded , as well as experts to conduct a forensic medical examination, russia did not
