[000:00:00;00] at the same time understand that it does not demotivate, but i'm sorry if we are talking, for example, about some thefts, if we are talking about some idiocy, or stupidity, or some wrong decisions, etc. that i'm sorry, we have already entered the worst stage of the war, maybe for someone, someone thought that the worst was the first, no, the worst is now, but it is precisely this war that is being hatched by an athlete who is four times more than you , well, friends, now is exactly the moment when all must really work for victory, everyone in their own place, everyone can have their own place. i'm not saying that everyone has a job to sit , it's like that, but everyone has to do it. now, when a lot of people raise their hands, well, i'm all tired, i can't spoil what i want russia, that's why i have very simple news for you, friends, either we all win

or we all lose, we have no other options , thank you, thank you very much, very much for the cool comments. but everything else is up to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, it's already a good day, i'll add literally two minutes to our guests , you know, i'm one smart person said good words about the fact that god gave us a body that can withstand , in fact, the whole question is only that now we have to convince our brain is in the fact that we can withstand it, this war is really entering the period when, well, when it will check everything, and this war has already reached such a scale that even the decision of the conditional putin today cannot stop it you know, war is like a fire, you kindle it, then somewhere you can put it out, and when it moves with great speed through the forests, how does it happen , let's say, in siberia or in greece, in turkey , this is a terrible phenomenon, you can't stop this fire already, it

it is simply rushing somewhere or it will burn out or stop or there will be some kind of sea and this war of an acquired scale that is conditional, even today's decision by putin will stop everything, it will not stop anything , well, globally, somewhere globally, in short , something will still remain, and we are in this war, we are in this we live in a war. yes, and of course you know, such evil appears, you think. well, why did it fall on my vice - on my age, why me, why wasn't i born somewhere in new zealand and i don't live in the city of christ, damn it, i live in the city of kryvyi rih, relatively speaking, there or whether it is lviv or kyiv or mariupol well, it happened that we do not choose the country, we do not choose the times, but these times choose us , you know, i will give you one simple piece of advice . this key point to become people who will be able to put an end to this history with the degenerate rotten state of russia on our borders and make this

country. this is a great privilege . not everyone can. able, but we are able to do it because otherwise fate and time would not have chosen us at this moment and would not have thrown this empire at us now in its last desire to crush ukraine, but this jump was a jump on our sharp teeth, we believe in victory we're holding on we're helping the armed forces we're donating and staying espresso - this was a worldview program on the air voice of america ukrainian service program time-secret my name is maria lyanovska greetings the united states condemns russia's ongoing attacks on ukrainian grain infrastructure and calls on russia to immediately return to the black sea grain initiative about it today

the deputy spokesman of the state department , vyda patel, said at a briefing, this is how he reacted to the fact that the russians twice attacked the odesa region with shahed shock medrons on the night of august 16. damaged warehouses and grain warehouses in the ukrainian port on the danube near the border with romania in the name of justice the united states condemns russia 's ongoing attacks on ukrainian grain infrastructure and calls on russia to immediately return to the black sea grain initiative today we learn that numerous attacks by russian drones damaged warehouses and granaries in ukraine's fortuna danube near the border with romania, this is in addition to previous russian attacks on ukrainian port infrastructure in odesa rinita ismaili, this escalation shows that moscow continues to prevent grain and food products from reaching those who need them most around

the world, this is unacceptable, meanwhile , the election season begins in the united states. on august 23 , the first presidential debate of the republican candidates will take place in the city of wisconsin. it is known about the performance of writers willing to compete for the nomination , but one of the key participants, former president donald trump, hinted that he could not come to the debate, let's talk about it in more detail with our correspondent in the white house yuliya yarmolenko yuliya hello, hello, maria native, in a week the first debates of the republic will begin in the cycle of these presidential elections in 2024 , let's start with the main intrigue, should we expect the participation of donald trump, against whom the fourth lawsuit has already been filed you know the thing, maria, many republican voters would like to see donald trump at this debate, but the former president of the united states himself has not yet confirmed his participation and we do not know whether he will participate in this first debate and i know that

the moderators of this debate of fox news journalists are preparing for both scenarios if donald will come or if he will not participate and here is an interesting detail that in fact donald trump is not knowing he should participate in these debates, he now remains the most popular contender for the republican nomination among those candidates who have nominated his candidacy. he has a very large advantage of about 35-38% over his nearest rival, which is the governor of florida ron-desantis and besides, he doesn't need to explain who he is, the republican party knows him well and he doesn't have to fight for the hearts of republicans at the moment, according to the latest polls that were conducted and even after don trump was brought several criminal charges against all 10 republicans still have a very favorable attitude towards donald trump and evaluate him quite

positively, and as the moderators who will actually conduct these debates say, they say if donald trump will be there or if he will not be there all the same, either in the questions or in the answers, he will be heard at these debates, and also what kind of debate is this? what will they influence and who else will participate in them? debates in order to qualify for the actual a two main conditions must be met that is to have at least 1% of nationwide support but also to have $40,000 individual or at least $200 in more than 20 states and in addition to donald trump ronadesantis, there are several more people who actually qualified, among them such well-known ukrainians, for sure, niki gailey, this is a former representative of the united states at the united nations, also

through christie, this is mike pence, a former vice president of the united states, but also , for example, there is such a person as in iveco ramasvara, this businessman and you know he is now third in popularity for the possibility of getting the republican nomination for people like him and also for nikki haley this debate will be an opportunity to show who they are to present himself more to the general public and perhaps in some way distinguish himself among other candidates for office or for the actual candidacy of the republican party in these elections, therefore , a lot of attention will be paid to these debates, but the most interesting thing will be if donald trump does not come, which of these candidates will specifically want to speak against his candidacy and to present himself as a very clear alternative to donald trump thanks yul i know that also recently a few weeks ago some of these candidates you talked about

they visited ukraine and presented their visions of what should be done next with ukraine. i also want to ask you about such a thing . we know that yesterday there was president joe biden and he also visited winsconson. please tell me if this is related to his presidential campaign or is he hers already started, you know maria officially, president biden visited wisconsin as president, he spoke there about the achievements of his economic program , the so-called bidinomics. but like you, maria , many people drew attention to the fact that this really coincides with the week before republican debates and also wisconsin is a very important state why wisconsin is considered that there are four states that are of decisive importance will be of decisive importance in the 2024 elections actually this is wisconsin of the nevada and georgia region and wisconsin for example on the 16th voted for the republican candidate for donald trump in the 2020 presidential election for joe biden

for a democrat ago 2024 again the voters were going in this state can fluctuate in their commitment that is why it is so important to get support in this state ago both parties, candidates from both parties will fight for this state in particular . thank you yulia, i know that it is too early to talk about this because the presidential race is just starting . on the one hand, it seems that the most likely candidates will be joe biden and donald trump, and on the one hand , it seemed that this would be an expected and understandable company, but the fact that several criminal cases have been opened against donate trump and also the fact that age is going to play a very important role in this company even though none of the companies want to talk about it anyway it adds to the uncertainty and this is what larry

sabada from the university of virginia said if the republicans put donald trump in front of the country as their candidate anything can happen especially given the fact that the democrats will have a candidate who is running for re-election at almost 82 years old with all due respect to him and i hope he lives to be 100 but this is a respectable age and when you reach that age and trump will also be 78 during the campaign, anything can happen. i am not saying this as an ageist for me and myself for 70, but i have already replaced my social activities with visits to the doctor . thank you yuli, we will definitely follow this on the subject, let me remind you that yulia yarmolenko told us from the white house about the beginning of the presidential race season in the united states, meanwhile, several snakes in ukraine reported that russia is allegedly planning a terrorist attack on the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant at the end of

august, this information is not true this was reported by the head of the zaporizhzhia regional military administration, yury malashko, who urged not to spread russian narratives and not to cause panic in society . i, in turn, will remind you. watch and read only verified news despite recent shelling from russia. ukraine does not stop preparing energy systems for winter, and experts warn it is necessary to prepare because the heating season may be worse than last year , new energy equipment is supplied both by international partners and actually by ukrainian manufacturers, minister of energy herman galushchenko is currently visiting seattle. oksana bedratenko asked him about american aid and how to encourage russia to negotiate de-occupation with nuclear power plants , as well as why ukraine will not negotiate with russia on gas transit. read more in the interview . winter is coming. this is already the second winter after a full-scale invasion, and we remember last time, in fact, russian shelling

led to the destruction of almost half of the energy network, how is the reconstruction of this network currently being discussed, what are your plans for uh, in terms of its readiness for winter, and in general, uh, will it be a renewal of the full operation of the power grid, or are you planning more to diversify, uh, decentralize the energy supply? well, in fact , the largest repair campaign since the independence of ukraine is currently underway, and well, we have a few tracks first - this is repairs. that is, this is repair from the point of view of the readiness of the equipment to work in winter. the second is restoration. that is, this is the restoration of objects destroyed by the russians

. it is possible before winter, precisely before winter. increasing the existing generation in the system. that is, the addition of new generation that did not exist there last year, and this is also an important track because it is important for us to increase the generation in the energy system of ukraine as much as possible in order to make it more reliable . which also suffered very significant blows from the russians during the past wp now the power network has already been restored, well, look at the network, in fact, it was very, very significantly damaged. during the last winter, repairs are now underway, and well, i can say that there was damage to 44 e-e substations of ukrenergo, as of today, 35 have already been restored, and in principle, we are moving forward with the plan of

resuming work and it is also very important to restore the generation, because we are focused on ensuring the maximum operation of the entire generation during the winter period in relation to nuclear power zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant the largest in europe is currently under russian occupation, perhaps there is a mission there, what can the international community do in general in order to reduce the risks of a nuclear disaster, to protect zs from accidents, well, it is absolutely obvious already today that no amount of talking with the russians gives any effect from the point of view that they should stay at the zaporizhzhia station and we see that all possible options that have been used they do not give

results and today for sure what to do well , it seems to me that the most obvious answer is - this is needed as soon as possible introduce sanctions against the russian nuclear power industry in order to encourage them to start negotiations about their exit from the zaporizhzhia nuclear power station . do you know at the gas station? well, there are always four experts there , actually, definitely. we would like to have a greater effect from the organization itself, but on the other hand, they act within the framework of the statute, they are a technical, more technical mission there, but what is important now is that when the technical mission sees a violation, and it is, by the way, in the report of the megate for the consequences of their first visit to

the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, all seven of the main pillars of nuclear security, it definitely seems to me that this issue can be brought to a higher level and that it be constantly discussed, because in general, this situation is a note of a nuclear plant, and it, unfortunately , does not add anything to the world in general regarding the tools that the world has reached in the guarantees of nuclear territories regarding despite the war eh european companies store gases in ukrainian gas storages eh how to explain this what could be the role of ukraine in the gas market of europe this winter in fact ukraine eh already is moving towards its goal, it is an energy hub for europe, and when we talk about the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, we say that it is the largest nuclear power plant in europe, as well as about gas storage facilities, we say that it is the largest

gas storage facility in europe; moreover, we have done a lot of work this year we adopted a number of e-e laws in which we adapted european standards, that is, today our gas storage facilities are fully certified in accordance with european legislation, and this makes it possible to inject gas under clear conditions and under rules that we understand well, now we are observing this trend. i am sure that in the coming months there will only be an increase in the volume of gas injections , which means that ukraine is a reliable partner even during the war. of the year - it is for gas transit with russia, it will end its operation next

year, you know what will happen to the pipe well, actually, now it seems to me that it is a little premature to give a forecast for next year and what will actually happen , well, we are dealing with the russians, they can terminate this contract any day. it is absolutely obvious that this is not related to any legal formalities - it will simply be such a decision, and the question is more for our european partners, what will they need this gas, and what do they need from russia in general there will be transit. will they be able to provide york with gas completely without russian? i have an absolute feeling that this is really possible, and secondly, there was a corresponding statement by the european commissioner for energy, personnel simson, who also said that the main goal is to get rid of russian gas in europe in general, that is, there is a possibility

that this contract will still continue. well, first of all, we will definitely not be a party to negotiations with the russians, and this is absolutely obvious, and secondly, i think that a- and next year, well, it will be so very revealing from the point of view of europe's ability to function at all without russian gas. well, i see all the prerequisites for this to happen as soon as it happens. i think that this question will lose its relevance in general. are the main ones the current projects of ukraine and the united states, what do you expect american help in the near future, in which areas we definitely need nuclear energy and nuclear energy in different ways , from the construction of large units to small modular reactors, and secondly, it is unconditional

restores energy sources. this is the wind, the sun, and we are talking about the fact that there is a huge potential for our work in the development of distributed generation, decentralization of generation in principle. we will be able to implement after our victory due to the temporary occupation of a part of the territory there, especially in the south of ukraine. but again, there are projects that are moving even now , and i am very pleased that even during the war , let's say the heads of large companies. they are visiting ukraine. we will visit certain locations where we are already starting to build something and have big plans for the future, among other important news in the united states, president joe biden and the first lady are visiting

hawaii, where forest fires have been raging for about a week the fire is currently known about at least 106 dead more details about the disaster in the story of my colleague andrii borys lahain the largest city on the island of maui the former capital of the hawaiian kingdom has been reduced to ashes 80% of the port city has been destroyed the scale of the destruction is simply unbelievable more than 2200 buildings have been destroyed 86% of residential fires that started last week covered three islands no more than maui, but also oahu and the island of hawaii, as of now, 16 dead are known, but only five bodies have been identified , local authorities are asking for people whose relatives missing people come to special centers to take dna tests this will help determine the identity of all the dead rescuers are now looking for about a thousand people the fire in hawaii has become the largest in the usa in the last 100 years the local authorities also promise to investigate why

the system for early warning citizens about the threat of fires did not work, many people they could have been saved if they had left their homes in time, say the eyewitnesses of the tragedy, something like born usually start the sirens to notify us, but nothing happened except that people were talking among themselves about evacuation many people were just walking on the streets when they noticed smoke people mistakenly ran away from the fires many simply left their pets hundreds of dogs and cats are being rescued now by volunteers in our shelter there were animals with severe, very severe burns we saw dogs with burns bones with paws, it looks like they ran straight through the flames, the exact cause of the fire in hawaii has not yet been established , accusations are being made against the energy company

that did not turn off the electricity network, witnesses they say that sparks appeared after the wires fell, but the spread of the fire was probably facilitated by the abnormal drought in hawaii and the strong winds caused by hurricane dora andrii boris voice of america my colleague yulia yarmolenko spoke with viktoria galan, a ukrainian who has been living on the hawaiian island of maui for 8 years, after the fire she volunteered in to one of the shelters about how the natural disaster started and what its consequences are later in the interview, and at night i go out on the balconies and the fire was just very close. well, we can see in my photo that everything was on fire, but we were it they didn't evacuate because of that, thank god, but my friend has adapted and her house was not affected, but all the houses near her burned down , nothing, there are some sirens, some reports , many now say that there was no

warning system so that people could save themselves. yes what do you know, this is very controversial , a controversial issue, because those people who were in the country , we received a message. a nearby street is being evacuated near me, but the whole site is full of people who, er, live there and said that they had no messages , so what is the current situation on the island, where exactly are you located, and what is happening now, and i continue to live in the village , but i work in wailuka, it is as if the central part of the island is degenerating its bow, er, where is the largest shelter in

the moyal army, i am a volunteer, but i have been here since the first day, when we were told that the next day i was going to work, these workers er state, that's why we didn't even have questions right away, there were a lot of our friends, my close friends, close people , families, pleas, so there were no questions, everyone wanted to do something, at least something, and everyone went to volunteer who could, what the island needs most now, what is the most lacking in your estimations for that what do you talk about with your friends , acquaintances, colleagues, you say that the community and unity on the island are very powerful. what do you hear about what people need most now? tents

, carps, medicines, etc. well, the first necessity hygiene is needed, water is polluted, help is needed, honestly, in everything, because you come to get a volunteer, i am always what to do now, you are leaving . you are either cooking food, i was already booked for you this week, cooking food , sending money, er, er, just hot food is needed even, well, at every induction where i work, we gathered with him and my employees and we had an allokhol, well, it is often people take tools and we can share with those who are going through and our feelings and support each other and in nagovayah it is very accepted because here such a moment of mutual support is not very big and probably that is why i love this island very much earlier today in the briefing program yuliya yarmolenko also talked with another eyewitness of the tragedy in hawaii andriy

oleksiiovych he has been living there for three years and now what did he tell andrei? i know that you are now in florida. but you actually have a house in maui in which you live . how much of a tragedy did these forest fires affect you personally? how far was your house from these forest fires? my village was very close to the forest fires and as victoria said earlier, i uh, the fire is very fast, what about severny kefiri, where am i, where do i live , but we were a little lucky because, ah, a week before this fire, there was another fire that dropped the tape near the road, and that's why this time you quickly extinguished the fire, but this time this tape prevented

the fire from reaching my house, that is, the fire stopped somewhere 400 m from my house. i know that now they live in your house actually people who lost their homes as a result of these forest fires, what do your friends and acquaintances tell you, but how terrible was the situation, how quickly did the fires spread in general, this time there is a girl who lives in my house, and she escaped from the fire, and i also have several friends who lost their homes in lokhain and one the girl didn't get in touch for almost three days, on the other side, on the western side of the island, they were in touch and everyone

was very, very planning on her, and when she came out, it was like a miracle, and that girl who lives in me. she tells what it was like to hell e-e on earth e-e because the fire spread very quickly as they say and it has always been like that there was an effort and that fires occur when high winds e-e it destroys electric poles and they spark and yes yes it is summer and also those hey lokhaina is the part of the arid side, they flash very quickly, some managed to leave the city, but there are only two roads from the city, which then merge into one, and there was a lot of traffic, and
