[000:00:00;00] it’s just that it’s not all a hoax to me, and yesterday the bride, otherwise, she sat down by accident, i called the point where the parts of the village were located, you know, by accident, in turn , it was better that she headed the children’s organization, the movement of the first, and got the opportunity to run for office in the fake elections from her party. no matter what, we supported the fighting spirit, we supported the patriotic attitude, the occupiers even allowed her to speak on red square and shout a little along with other

traitors, and she will not believe in herself anymore babushka is one planet and i don't have a high price, we know how these selling skins can't stand the price for them to be sold how to breathe, she wailed trokai, shouted that in melitopol, this is russia, and put the label of a collaborator on herself for the rest of her life, she will now sing in ukrainian prisons, let every putin minion know whether he will be a scumbag or a bum. your 200th rashit battalion will absorb ukrainian black soil. help expose the collaborators. if you know the kremlin scoundrels, let us know at this email address.

address or simply on facebook together we will send all the traitors after the russian ship see you in a week on the espresso broadcast almost 200 ukrainian soldiers will continue to improve the control of the american abrams tanks at the ukrainian facility for a few more weeks training in germany continued until the re-equipment of the tanks that will soon be sent to the voice of america was informed about this by the command of the us ground forces in europe and africa, while the us ministry of defense commented on the effectiveness of tank shells with depleted uranium, the transfer of which was announced earlier this week, the pentagon's deputy spokeswoman, sabrina singh, said that such projectiles would be very effective against russian tanks, and the kremlin's accusations that they supposedly have a negative effect on health have no basis regarding the impact of depleted uranium weapons on health then i would reject the statements of russian officials, american health authorities - stated that there is no evidence that shells with depleted uranium cause cancer

worldwide health organization claims that there has been no increase in the incidence of leukemia or other types of cancer after exposure to uranium or depleted uranium, and even megate has unequivocally stated that there is no proven link between exposure to depleted uranium and an increase in cancer incidence or serious health or environmental effects in response to our savryna tsinnykh's question also added that the ukrainian military effectively and responsibly uses american cluster shells , the experts with whom my colleague iryna solomko spoke confirmed that the bolt was successful to break through the so-called surovikin line in the zaporozhye direction, which medium ammunition is an important tool for ukraine to be able to advance further amed george baros and not a plane on the issues of russia and ukraine at the institute for the study of war in washington , after long years of waiting, on september 5 , researchers of the institute received new photos of the zone of hostilities that indicate that

the ukrainian troops continue the tactical successes of the so-called syrovykin line in the zone between the population centers of the zaporizhzhia region, information on the fact that russian troops have left the territory of robotnoy, representatives of the occupation authorities have confirmed that the harsh lines are three lines of defensive fortification. this is a long tankover, then behind it is a row of dragon's teeth, which are also intended to stop vehicles . then there are trenches with combat positions. these are the positions of russian soldiers and what we see as of yesterday ukrainian the military is fighting on this third component, they are fighting on those trenches and field fortifications behind the role and behind the dragon's teeth. so the ukrainians continue to achieve good luck and they continue to break through probably the most difficult, largest and best prepared section of the russian defense lines philip karmer president of the potomac analytical center fandeyshyn also a well-known american military expert explains

that the ukrainian military is now trying to break through the defense line that the russians have been building for eight months, we are talking about well-fortified trenches, dugouts and walls to do this , of course, artillery is extremely difficult, that is why the ukrainians use cluster shells, which they received from the american government in july, of course artillery that hits near the trench makes a hole in the ground, but it does not have a great effect against prepared positions , unlike cluster munitions, which you drop hundreds. ammunition, so to speak, to soften the position, because individual parts of the cassette are more likely to fall into the trench, and in approximately the same area , the russians launched a counterattack, which at first seemed caught the ukrainians from the flank and threw them back and could have completely cut off the forces, but the attack in response

smashed their armored column with cluster shells, they hit armored vehicles or knocked out the infantry that was in a hurry. and by the way, this compensates the ukrainians for the superiority of the russians in artillery installations and missile systems, confirming the information of karber that the last cluster munitions by the ukrainians during the counteroffensive , according to him, this is happening both in the zaporozhye and donetsk directions, and the russians are already writing about the difficulties with which they clashing because of this time cluster munitions are a necessary tool in increasing the ukrainian arsenal to build up the offensive combat capabilities of ukraine so that ukraine can eventually break through these russian lines and advance further these munitions are quite important because they are conventional 155 mm artillery shells what are the ones used by the ukrainians and what stocks are limited and consumption rates are not keeping pace with western capacity to replenish them

voice of america sought comment on how crucial the use of cluster munitions during the counter-naftib of the ministry of defense and the general staff of ukraine, however, they refused an official comment there, but they explained unofficially that this topic is not timely at the moment, including because of how it is hyperbolized and distorted by the russian media , the use of cluster munitions in this war is a forced measure in order to compensate there is a lack of shots, of course, but they turned out to be quite effective, there are a large number of videos already on the network, eh, according to their application, we see that 1-2 cartridge ammunition allow to suppress the enemy group is quite effective, especially since you must understand that over the course of a year, the russian federation, in particular in the southern direction and in the occupied territories, has created a dense line of defense, which, first of all, is very

heavily mined, has anti-tank engineering means and has a very extensive and powerful network in addition to areas that the russians have filled with concrete for the last year, making them impassable and playing the enemy's manpower in those directions where we are advancing with cluster munitions very effectively with criticism the transfer and use of cluster munitions of ukraine, they have repeatedly spoken out and human rights defenders because of their danger to civilians, however, experts remind that russia itself has been using this type of projectiles against the ukrainian military since 2014, there is a legal use and necessity for the use of cluster munitions, they are very effective in their work, their task - it 's essentially covering the enemy target so unexploded ordnance is a sad side effect but these

weapons were designed for a specific purpose by the russians they use it ukrainians have the right to use this weapon as part of the company to liberate their territories about the fish of the russian line of defense in the south forcing the russians to redeploy forces from the north-eastern direction last week we also saw reports that units of the russian army that were on the line between svatovo and crimea also redeployed or started redeploying to the south, so we are not particularly concerned about russia's offensive efforts. column of the american media is baseless from new york iryna solomko voice of america our next story is about an american of ukrainian origin bohdan olinares who voluntarily fought for six months as part of the azov battalion in the battles in donetsk region, a former marine was hit by a shell fragment

, but miraculously he was not injured why did the man leave to fight in ukraine how service in the bolt differed from service in the usa and how he almost died from a russian tank bohdan olinares told voice of america when i arrived at the ukrainian border at the customs office i they asked what are you doing here? i said i came to fight and the woman is a border guard, why is the american bohdan olinarets fighting on the side of ukraine as a volunteer not at the very beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia , it was the beginning of the second week of the invasion. i arrived on the sixth or seventh day after the start of the war and stayed for six months bohdan was born in ukraine, but at the age of two he lives in the united states, he is a veteran of the us marine corps, i have no family , wife or children, i am of military age and i have military experience and i am ukrainian, so who cares

go help me, he signed up for volunteers with the help of the embassy of ukraine, the american flew to poland and from there reached the ukrainian border . the international legion of ukraine was just being formed at that time, so bohdan joined the anti-tank unit of the azov battalion, he took part in the battle for moschun near kyiv, then fought in the donetsk region and even fought for mariupol in august, bohdan turned 35, but a year ago in the donetsk region, he thought that he would not return alive, heavy rain, nothing could be heard except the rain, we could see a tank the gun on it moves so we go down and see about 15 russians on a tank they are smiling i could see their teeth that's how close we were to them we had a javelin with us but you can shoot from it at a distance of at least 45 m we were too close 5 people without anti-tank missiles, the conditions are not the best, so we just ducked down and

fortunately the tank quickly passed by, another tank is driving behind it, the slower we lie down again , this time we are like that well, he is slowing down and we hear the sounds of the cannon turning in our side four of my comrades start to run away and i needed to pick up the javelin i'm running and i think i'm dead i have no chance now the tank will turn and shoot at me and i won't be able to do anything with every step i thought i was about to die seriously when i ran- i thought i ran here. but now i'm going to die. we don't see anything. we lie down and start shooting and then more shots. my friend and i get up and move to his machine gun . he fires and we realize that we don't see anyone. six of us go to the position. there we are. we see russian equipment, however, none of the personnel and discovered at

the site of three or four dead russians their equipment , etc., so it was the strongest change from zero to 100 that i experienced in my life shrapnel that wounded me in donbas directly into a fairy tale fortunately and in i had so much adrenaline that i didn't feel pain when i picked it up on the ground and the burn on my finger was very, very hot . and after a while i picked it up and this is what flew into me, but i'm fine, but later i had symptoms concussion, the military experience in ukraine was very different from what bohdan was used to in the american army, he first realized this during the battle for moschun, er , like, buzzing pools above my head, it was the 10th day of the war somewhere, and i thought that and then i am like this and this is a drone. when i served, we had firewood, but they were not so widely used, and then i also

realized for the first time that this is not the american military service . that is, i cannot pick up and call and say hey. we have a drone here and we need to clean it, i thought then this war will be different, i.e. no of the american command that you can call and say hey, we need a bomb, everything was wrong, family and friends supported bohdan in his decision to become a volunteer in the usa, my parents will tell me don't go , you're crazy, but as soon as they heard zelensky's call, they expected me to call and say that i am going all over the belt, they supported me a lot, i thought many people would say why are you crazy, but everyone said well how can we help ukraine for a trip to ukraine that cost several thousand dollars and was bought with a donation from my family friends, colleagues, and my employer, the f5 company where i work raised about

$4,000 for me. bohdan works in sales at an it company in washington. they sent me on unpaid leave. my post called me, he was from west africa, also an emigrant, he said. i can't, if something similar happened in my country, i was told that it doesn't matter how long i will be absent 2 10 years, but when i return , the workplace will remain with me to ukraine bohdan has never been to the real zone of hostilities, after he returned from ukraine, he was informally awarded, but i served in the usa, i have the opportunity to receive such an award, this is the sign of a participant in hostilities, i still do not know who sent it to me, but when i returned to the shag, someone sent it to me, if you say so earned in august 2023 , bohdan got a real combat award, the administration of the capital of ukraine, kyiv , awarded him the medal for contributing to the defense of kyiv dmytro kolchynskyi, yuri mamon voice of america

this is such an absolutely impressive story an american volunteer and we continue with other topics. the un security council met regarding the illegal voting in the temporarily occupied ukrainian territories , which russia calls elections . us representative robert wood emphasized that the russian pseudo-elections in ukraine are a complete falsification, and moscow is well aware of this, and because of the pretended the success of the vote, the russians are trying to hide their military losses in ukraine, hoping that the sham elections will demonstrate their control over these occupied territories, but they are nothing more than a propaganda trick, this is not a new tactic, this is the so-called election in the russian -occupied territories of ukraine, it is almost a year after the kremlin held a long-ago referendum and 9 years after russia tried to annex crimea, the creams use fake referendums and elections, just to try to give the appearance of legitimacy to its attempts

to illegally mix the sovereign territory of its neighbors, the kremlin is in a hurry to fabricate electoral successes in order to hide from the russian people its military losses in ukraine these the potemkin elections are an encroachment on the principles enshrined in the article of the un, and tomorrow, and in the capital of india, the summit of the group of 20 will begin on the weekend . about 10,000 event participants and journalists will arrive in the indian capital, however , there will be no ukrainian delegation among them. will there be ukraine? on the agenda, let's talk with tatiana voorzko, who is currently working on location in india. tanya, i congratulate you. thank you for joining the broadcast. no, i know that joe biden has already arrived in india before new day and had time to spend he will share with us the last details of his first outside meeting, yes indeed he did. the president's plane landed around 7:00 p.m. local time and the president immediately went to the residence of the prime minister

of the country. attention to the fact that he passed a billboard with his image and the image of the prime minister of india modi during their past meetings from the fact that i saw a lot of portraits of mods here and the meeting was closed but according to its results the declaration of the two leaders about ukraine and russia's war against ukraine was not mentioned there. but there are a couple of interesting points for our audience. first, both leaders confirmed that they are committed to the reform of the un , first of all the un security council, and the united states supports india becoming a member of the security council as a permanent member and second also the leaders confirm that a needs to build sustainable a on microchip supply chains of course it is about a not being dependent on china in this matter regarding other meetings of president jack sullivan which before that, he gave a briefing for the press and not the start. he will not talk like that about other

unilateral meetings, but he said that more work will be done in this way through informal box meetings, and in this way it will be possible to negotiate with many world leaders and representatives of international organizations, ms. here, despite the fact that volodymyr zelenskyy was not invited to speak at this event, exactly which american delegation promises to keep ukraine on the agenda. there will be a final final declaration of this, and india insists that these countries must sign so that it is a powerful declaration, and on the other hand, we know the position of russia, which does not want to sign a declaration that does not reflect its position, and that is, negotiations are ongoing ah, the american side is talking about the fact that they have almost finished the final declaration , the final final words are already the final text, and there will probably be rumors of pro-russian

aggression against ukraine as well, and the representatives of the administration, in particular of the secretary of the treasury of the united states, zenit-helen, who spoke with us here this morning, the president told journalists that supporting ukraine is the second priority of the delegation's work at this summit. to the russian war against ukraine , oil price restrictions and sanctions, which are the result of unprecedented and multilateral cooperation, have a powerful impact on russia's ability to wage a cruel and unjust war against ukraine will primarily be raised not only by the fact that the coalition needs to be expanded, but also by the fact that the representatives of the united states will bring together the country of the global cock, then in fact you are not in the fact that the prices of

grain is rising food prices are suffering because of what they are suffering and as elen emphasizes, they are not doing it themselves, but these steps that build support for ukraine are taking place together with other leaders. saw during that, let's leave it alone, the prime minister of great britain has already said personally, only the impetus for his visit to vinnytsia, by the way, is attracting a lot of attention because he is the first prime minister of great britain of indian origin when it comes to ukraine and russia and their conflict what i was doing was to emphasize the devastating impact of russia's illegal invasion on a million people around the world especially with regard to the value of food russia recently withdrew from the grain agreement and now you see that food prices are rising this is causing suffering to a million people and it's wrong that's why one of the things we do is to inform people about the impact

of russia's illegal war tanya thank you for your report we will look forward to the next stories i from this right here i the question fortune teller was with us in connection with to the jews of india, the memorial to the fallen soldiers in the form of a giant iron hedgehog became one of two ukrainian installations at the cult berling men art festival in nevada . the festival itself this year did not go according to plan, and tens of thousands of people were stuck in the nevada desert due to an abnormal downpour, khrystyna shevchenko will tell in more detail. it seems like it's just boards, but inside is hidden a secret installation, the ukrainian bird phoenix, which resembles the coat of arms of ukraine, the monument was opened on august 31 in the black rock desert at the cult art festival the peculiarity of the burning project

is that in order to see it, it must first be burned, only when burned from the flame, giant phoenixes are born a few minutes before setting fire around the installation the sounds of explosions and the siren of an air-raid alarm rang out so that americans could feel what a typical day in ukraine looks like. the 8-meter-high phoenix sculpture for berling was created by ukrainian artists artist oleksiysai and architect and artist dana kosminat , as well as the team of the art association with what art, well, this is a m-m place where people have the ability to perceive the miracles of man go for this and they deeply experience what they see and it is simply a more effective platform for

consideration than the news feed, it is for us, well , it is important that it rises from the fire and will this trident and this phoenix will stand, and it will be iron and black, but it will stand as a sculpture embodying the unity and steadfastness of the ukrainian spirit, the idea and implementation of the phoenix project belongs to the founder of the charity fund , he must be alive in italy to deineza and ali lopadkina, hello hello another sculpture from ukraine this year, the hedgehog temple, an installation has become a memorial of memory on the hedgehog you can see photos of ukrainian cultural figures who died in the war pictures thank you very much this is an annual festival of independent art that has been held in the desert every year since 1968 black rock in the state of nevada, the participants install

various art objects. and at the end, on sunday evening, they burn a giant human figure made of wood, and this year, everything did not go according to plan, and the final bonfire was postponed. two months' worth of precipitation fell during the day , the desert dust turned into a swamp, and tens of thousands of participants were stuck at the festival. generators that provided electricity for cooling and cooking, many people left the site, but they left the site, but they walked, many were either sunny and left all their things, people ran out of water, food, gasoline, everything , so the power team is trying to start the generator because we almost ran out of electricity, one person died, the police started investigation, and 70,000 participants

marched from the venue of the festival khrystyna shevchenko bohdan shevchenko for the voice of america this is the story from znyvati and here at another popular festival the renaissance of maryland near washington, usa ballet group azis presented to the public the ukrainian hopak. did the americans manage to perform the cossack dance? ivan na podborska and oleksiy usyk know the last touches of the stage make-up, warming up the feet and helping each other to change clothes. the conveyor belt is a routine that the dancers of the merlen ballet theater are already used to. of them in this field about two dozen years ago can gather in 3 minutes, says madalin , if we leave koru, we can even faster, but preparation for ballet with ukrainian elements became somewhat more difficult for american artists for ballet shoes based on gogol's work isaac wore

an embroidered jacket and trousers with a belt, he says before and had no idea that this belt should be tightened in a special way at first i was like you do it i tried to tie the belt like an ordinary bandage at first it fell apart now i'm doing a little better because before that there were different things isaac until now and i, like three years ago, did not tighten my belt well and my trousers started to fall in the middle of the performance, but i continued to dance, the show must go on, the truth in this ballet production of ukrainian hopaks became a real discovery and fun for american dancers, in our ballet, everything should be the same, unlike

hopak. hopak was given to the dancers not for the first time kupap i think was a fun challenge for everyone because of its very fast pace, we needed several rehearsals to master this dance, it was it is very fun to study and for the audience to watch american barbara does not hide her admiration oh i really liked the performance i think you have to be very strong to dance ukrainian folk dances you have to have very strong legs for a woman it is a pleasant surprise to see a ukrainian dance during the popular wmerland renaissance festival she is with her husband supports ukraine and demonstrates it even through accessories , she came to the festival wearing a hat with a blue-yellow ribbon, they did it specifically, so i'm glad

you noticed that there are sunflowers here we have friends who lived in ukraine, we are very sorry because of the war and we pray for all of you, and this is temple, she also knows well about the war in ukraine, but about the fact that there were elements of ukrainian dance in this ballet production. i just found out , i don't know the name of this element, but traditional dances are always one of my favorites and the height with which the gentlemen performed the movements was impeccable to captivate foreigners and show them that ukraine is not only about war but also about deep culture and this is the mission of the choreographer and director of the ballet, roman nikita to serve the ukrainian diaspora, to choreograph this for my community here and also to go beyond it and spread ukrainian culture to non-ukrainians, this is an event where thousands of people of different

nationalities come and maybe people who have never seen hopak or ukrainian culture outside the war will be able to see it in the brightest and funnest way we present ukrainian culture all its beauties any nation deserves sovereignty, independence and peace ivanna podborska oleksiy osyka voice of america washington download the voice mobile application america application allows you to automatically bypass blocking thanks to the built-in vpn service, read the news, watch informative programs and videos, and also listen to podcasts of the voice of america service in ukrainian, and this is how we say goodbye. thank you for staying with us and trusting the voice of america in ukrainian
