[000:00:00;00] crimea will create serious problems for putin, the former commander of the us ground forces in europe, ben hudges, writes that the ukrainians are leading the russians by the nose, and the ex-minister of defense of britain , ben wallace, says that russia cannot use its ships to attack ukraine and expect that these ships will not will become targets for the armed forces, some observers also draw attention to the fact that during the night attack on sevastopol, the starlin satellite network failed. previously, businessman elon musk admitted that last year, due to fears of escalation , he denied ukraine access to the network near crimea, which foiled the attack by naval drones on the peninsula, today the mask, together with other leaders and industry, arrived at the congress to meet with senators, but what was this event about and did the legislators manage to get answers to their questions, including what kateryna lisonova, who works in the congress , knows about ukraine and monitors everything that

happens there, katya, i congratulate you, i congratulate you. so, what do the american legislators say about the masked shutdown of access to sterling near the crimea, he knows that today you managed to communicate about it exactly like that, ostapa, after the information that was made public is a separate result of the biography of ilon maska that at some point in a certain moment he single-handedly cut off the supply of antiquities to the ukrainian military during an important attack on the territory of crimea, questions were raised on the cyrillic hill to what extent it is possible to trust technological giants in such collaborations, in particular in the pedagon that cooperate with elon oil not only in the field of aid to ukraine, but in other areas and with other commercial actors and now plan to review such cooperation in order to be in the future, we are sure that such cooperation will not be called into question due to any desire of one company manager, in turn , in the congress, as you woundedly remarked, some legislators are calling to review

the cooperation with ilonomask and even investigate this incident, in particular, this was stated by the democratic senator elizabetvora. today, i was to talk with her during a special meeting with technological giants , among whom elon musk was also present, and in particular she noted that there is no her point of view is normal that one technological giant can conduct both border politics and world politics in general and can resolve such issues by one's own will and from her point of view these issues should be resolved and investigated, i suggest listening to her comment just now should investigate how one billionaire creates a state politics and foreign policy for the entire world we need to investigate how this happened what exactly is in these contracts and authorizations that allows him to have this power it is the responsibility of congress

to investigate this the department of defense as well obliged to review the concluded contracts, such activity poses a danger to the united states , to ukraine, and to the rest of the world, this comment is very interesting to katya . it was not a hearing, it was a report, but big technological giants and those present at the congress were like elon musk, also the head of the company meta facebook, mark zuckerberg, also a well-known technological figure like bill gates and many others, and the meeting itself took place in the format of a meeting or hearing, as i already said, it was actually a report of these representatives of the technological sphere to the senators , all 100 senators of the united states of america were present, and the main topic of discussion was the issue of artificial

intelligence, in particular, the development of artificial intelligence intelligence , the ability to control it, as well as the ability to ensure the safety of all those who use artificial intelligence, and in particular , one of these security issues was also the issue of communication and america led in this issue in the issue of the development of artificial intelligence, which is currently difficult to stop, but it is worth understanding how it can be controlled. and one of the most important issues would also be the opportunity to be a leading state in the field of artificial intelligence and prevent china, in particular, from comparing the possibility of leadership in development marrying artificial intelligence, legislators were not all satisfied with this meeting, because at least they had to listen more to the position of technological representatives, and i suggest

listening to the results of this report the comments of the legislators with whom i spoke, the issue of american leadership was discussed a lot. i think the idea is that it was not said directly, but i understand that it is necessary to make sure that the leadership in new technologies does not end up in the hands of the communist party of china, although considering their system, i think that it was difficult for them to have leadership in this direction but it is definitely a challenge and it was raised in our meeting i do not understand why the press was not allowed to this meeting most people during the meeting said we want innovation but we also have to protect security. yes, it is important. every person in the room said yes

, and the government has an important role to play in this. let 's sit down seriously and talk about it let's put something real on the table instead, now everyone just agrees that we need security and innovation katya and did the legislators succeed today to get answers to their questions to elon mask or to other speakers who spoke in front of them, which was unusual for the congress , and in fact the legislators did not have the opportunity to ask questions or press on any issues, and so in particular elizabeth vorona surrounded the questions of american journalists . did she manage to specifically talk to to ilona maslom about disconnecting sterling e for ukrainians she said that she did not have such an opportunity because in fact the senators did not have the opportunity to ask questions and enter an active e-e, so to speak, a dialogue to which they are used to the fact that hearings usually take place in congress during similar visits. when one or

another representative arrives at the camp and reports on issues of interest to congressmen, legislators , and sanatoriums. this time, as you saw in the previous video , it was raining. at the table sat at the main table and representatives of giant technology companies sat . and in general, so to speak , the senators sat at the hearings, they were listening to the report of these representatives on how to develop artificial intelligence and what possibilities of its control and security exist, in principle, i say thank you for your work, i hope that the senators of the congress will be able to ask me their question later for these representatives and representatives of the technoindustry, we will follow this and thank you with us kateryna lisunova gola on zv from the capitol pagoda, but yesterday in congress there was another event in front of the us senators , the candidate for the post of commander of the us air force, general david alvin testified, among other things

, the legislators were interested in what the delay and the decision on the transfer of f-16 fighters to ukraine, further direct speech, they asked for quite a long time f -16, we hesitated, so in general we agreed, they also asked for long-range missiles, we also hesitated. can you give me an assessment of the air war that we have and what they will need for good luck because it looks like we're delivering everything in parts and it's taking longer than it needs to be effective i'd be happy to do an evaluation i don't really understand the operational situation for 16th z16 support why is it taking so long these are again those political decisions that were made in the context of comprehensive deterrence, do you believe that the f-16 will be effective and will they help them have air

defense and air superiority, senators. thank you for the question. i believe that, first of all, the f-16 is very, very a powerful platform is what we understand from our success and advantages in the air it is not only about the platform but also training and this training is not only on aircraft it is integration with command and control elements integration with joint forces etc. they are effective only while being part of the joint forces i believe that the value of the f-16 will be in ugu when it will be better integrated with the wider ukrainian army and will also be a symbol of the transition of ukrainians to western long-range systems will be more useful they can be deployed faster and more efficiently or a swarm of repro we've been talking for quite some time but it looks like they haven't hit the battlefield yet senators - this is all very effective equipment

and ammunition and i think the real value is in understanding how the ukrainians can integrate them how it works in their system maneuvers, but we have very effective ammunition and platforms. well, here are the comments of the same general olvin shared his preliminary estimates of how long the training of ukrainian pilots on m-16u aircraft in arizona, which should begin, will last . next month we talked about the training of ukrainian pilots, do you know today we talked a little bit about the f16 and how important they are ukrainians are fighting against russian murderous aggression congress and russian war crimes i have been to ukraine four times in the last 18 months i advocated that we

provided f16, you and i discussed the length of time required for training, the need to learn english at least to be able to train and i am interested . can you tell me again, assuming that these ukrainians speak this language, have linguistic ability, how long it will take to train ukrainians at the base of the national guard maurice horizoni , as i understand it, the training will begin. thank you for the question at the hearing, we talked a little about ukraine, but i didn't say how in my opinion we are all proud of ukraine for what it has done with his bravery and therefore with our support integrating with our european allies and training partners we spoke in your office however how much time is involved in training regarding sufficient knowledge of the english language it is obvious that every student is different their level of knowledge and progress in the course is different but the training we conduct usually takes about six months so if

we were to start next month or so it would be completed by early spring it 's basic f16 training with all the extra training i'd say it's somewhere between six and for nine months, a new technological race has been unfolding between global players in the world, the struggle for supremacy continues on the battlefield of a few nanometers in size, we are talking about microchips of businessman and politicians call them the oil of the 21st century, the topic is continued by andriy boris, they are in our phones and tvs , cars and subways in laptops in offices and satellites in space , whether a drone or a rocket will fly on the

front depends on these tiny details. microchips are a set of electronic circuits on a plate of semiconductor material, most often silicon, the part performs two functions: processing and storing information every year. better technology, he will succeed in battle and microchips are a key element here, this is a fragment of a speech from a conference dedicated to the production of microchips, american politicians, engineers and the heads of technology corporations are discussing how the united states and the allies will renew their leadership in this field and made about 40% of the chips in the world, today it is only 10%. for our national security we must reduce our dependence on foreign supplies the united states remains the world leader in the design and development of new microcircuits and

the main production facilities are in asia and ivan china south korea as a result firstly it made the economy and the us military-industrial complex dependent from the supply of spikes from these countries and secondly, other countries gained access to american developments, the orlan 10 drone, the main reconnaissance drone of russia in the war against ukraine, in its composition , according to the investigation of the british royal institute of defense research , chinese, japanese, and also, despite sanctions restrictions, american parts of my, our power saving is quite high but we are not able to completely deprive the adversaries of access to the most important technologies, this is partly due to the fact that the russians, as you know , go through various computer devices taking semiconductors out of them and applying them to the battlefield and china as you know the second largest economy in the world after the us there also

produces a lot of these things look at the shaft according to congressman smith russia mostly uses american chips in old models and china lags behind in the technological production of its own chips approx. 5 years ago, it is worth focusing on the development and protection of new technologies for this, the united states plans to build its chip factories within 10 years, and the company manufacturers will be banned from trading in technologies hostile to the us country that is why we invested $52 billion in the industry by passing the chip and science innovation act america can develop faster meanwhile american research centers are working on creating a new generation of chips the fight is for every nanometer to understand today most microchips in computers are

10 nanometers as the smallest virus smaller and more powerful chips are needed for developments in the field of artificial intelligence nike think of such neural networks as gpt chat - this creates a whole industry of new programs and applications that require computers to be very high-performance ai-based technology will revolutionize the battlefield, which is why the pentagon is perhaps most interested in this research in the future pilot f- 35 during the takeoff , artificial intelligence will help, in fact , drones, tanks, soldiers will work synchronously on the battlefield , scientists call this development of artificial intelligence a technological singularity, according to the predictions of many photographers, humanity will be able to

it will be achieved by the end of this decade andriy boris dmytro savchuk voice of america 10 containers of medical aid worth almost 6 million dollars were sent to ukraine from the united states by the ukrainian hospital support fund, which has been helping to rescue military and civilians in ukraine for 9 years, the cargo includes everything necessary for rescue and treatment of ukrainian people, the topic is continued by ilona vytovych, surgical kits and instruments, ultrasound and other diagnostic equipment, beds for intensive care, laboratory supplies and consumables materials, the largest shipment to date to the mechnikov hospital located in dnipro, a shipment of modern medical equipment arrived from the usa in 2014, the largest hospital in the east of ukraine is supported by the american organization super hasbrolls in ukraine, this is already the fourth such container at the beginning of military operations, it is necessary equipment for diagnosis and treatment as military

wounded and wounded civilians, and we made an order for this fund back in the fall, and at the end of march, this container was formed in the dpr and sent to us kyivska this summer, the okhmatdyt children's hospital received a container with critical equipment for the first time, doctors say that with its help, they will treat small patients from traditional pediatric diseases and from military injuries, and everything is at the highest level from the first day of the arrival of this cargo , the doctors who conducted the selection of this cargo were already nearby consumables and equipment that they desperately need and it is already in operation breathing apparatuses they are with the children already in the anesthesiology office already working in

the operating room a-a consumable sheets for operating rooms are one-time, and it’s all already in the appeals room, it’s already flying. that is, we try to use the help that is sent to us as efficiently as possible and the cloud of our patients. today, the hospital has provided assistance to more than 120 injured children . the microsurgery doctor says that the consumables that they requested from the fund has still been in short supply of new supplies of such disposable materials for the vacuum system , they will last for a year. or negative pressure treatment is quite actively used for eardrum injuries. and that is why we use it quite often because children

come to us with injuries and these injuries often require treatment with these vacuum systems, and these tubes are disposable and each child can use 10 tubes vitaliy dubl is the co-founder of the charity organization, he is not a doctor, but for nine years of work on the project, you know very well what ukrainian hospitals need during the war , they usually communicate with doctors, i see how difficult the situation is, in fact, why we started in 14th year is to help our hospitals, which provided medical services primarily to civilians, military personnel from the battlefield, as well as civilians. vitaly worked and lived in the usa when russia started a war in donbas, then he started volunteering and with other representatives of the diaspora, we thought how we can help our homeland and under clear circumstances. we cannot send tanks, air defense , anything military to ukraine, so we came to the

understanding that medical aid should be more useful, especially in those times when medical care is chronically financed at a time when some doctors are forced to purchase materials at their own expense. the mission of the fund is to help cover critical needs in medical institutions. i remember the first one he exhibited. but they argued about who would take away the ordinary beds with clamps, because they were much more practical compared to what was left from historical times. i was told that doctors in some hospitals still use equipment from the 70s. that is it is scary to imagine equipment from soviet times that is still used in ukraine . dnipro and kharkiv are the main hubs where wounded civilians and soldiers are taken from the battlefield for stabilization and later transported to other regions of ukraine for treatment. the whole family of all friends in ukraine in the dnipro, i knew how much to invest there and we our main goal

was why did we start the comment initiative - this is help to military institutions that worked with military surgery, that's why we started with dnipro and we helped rebuild the military hospital in dnipro, which was destroyed during yanukovych's time. and later, we began to expand our geography, we went to new regions, and we went to kyiv, cherkasy, zhytomyr , lviv, odesa and chernihiv and other cities, fant cooperates with the largest supplier of the united states, which collects used equipment or surplus consumables from manufacturers and hospitals for amounts up to 450,000 dollars and sends containers of ukraine all over the world. the company is called pro shutkir , we have access to their widest spectrum of medical equipment and consumables, and before each shipment we consult with doctors and hospitals about what they need and according to

their needs . the amount of 5.8 million dollars was collected and sent by volunteers as of today, when the full-scale invasion began in february 2022, the organization with a long-standing reputation received a new wave of donations from of the whole world, according to vitaliy, the money is still used in particular for the transfer of tactical medicine , as well as many, many other initiatives. tactical medicine of the national guard, this was our main focus in the past. last year, when we worked specifically with military medics on the front lines, today almost 30 medical centers and hospitals

received critical support from the fund with of washington ilona voytovych dmytro melnyk voice of america and our latest story for today about the machine gunner oleksiy masyuchenko who in civilian life was a diver and was engaged in searching for the remains of fallen soldiers of the second world war. olena adamenko and mykhailo zayka talked well, oleksiy masyuchenko from sumy will not be in peacetime, before the full-scale invasion, he worked at a diving station for 15 years. in addition to working as a diver for many years, oleksiy has been engaged in searching for and reburying fallen soldiers. in his childhood, i was probably 8 or 9 years old. i saw the movie the boys were in the trenches and i fell asleep in the cinema, and it struck me so much that

i couldn't help but watch them fall asleep and nobody. i can't, well, i didn't see them. no one was looking for them. the tanks came, the guys were buried, and it happened to me since then. well, i couldn't leave it . i realized that somewhere there are still such soldiers who need to be found. oleksiy managed to find the remains of more than 150 soviet and german soldiers. soldiers who died during the second world war in the 22nd year, he planned to continue the search, they called on february 22 and said that the archives were taken out of kyiv and that you do not receive search permits for this year, and we understood that the war will start in two days, three days, because the archives are not just like that, they took kyiv out of the capital on the very first day of the invasion. oleksiy went to defend the country. but when he does not take part in the battles, he looks for the bodies of ukrainian soldiers, which means they are

missing. enemy attacks on our guys began to dig a trench there and came across a batinok and realized that it was there. sooner than all the rest , i started digging and i. it turned out that many of our guys did not speak. that it was all torn in blood and the guys were not supposed to look at it because i had to do it practically myself, the first day i cut down one for 10 times, and on the second day i cut down the second one for six times, and on the third day i did the third one for 10 times , he says he cut down because it all happened in the cold in january of this year, show how they dig in the war three ukrainian soldiers whose bodies were found by oleksiy were listed as missing since november 22nd , but recently i received a phone call that the last of these three soldiers was buried, two of them were buried in april, and one was buried. here in july

, as a soldier and searcher, oleksiy emphasizes the importance of taking dna samples from soldiers when they join the service, what will we do later if you guys go missing, how will we look for the remains, we will find them for another 100 years, we will find them and then you will not be to know if it's the guy or the wrong guy, how will you understand if you didn't take it? no dna, no tokens, no documents, because it drove everything away and will be the same as the brothers -in-law of the second world war. by the way, not the remains of the soldiers of the second world war, but weapons are still being found by the ukrainian military . the task is to dig in further, build a line of defense , here we are, digging, building, i dug up two more shells from a german tank, now we have submitted an application for their disposal, we are waiting for them to arrive and approach them, look at this war, i am so far i am digging up projectiles left over from that war in order to quickly neutralize such finds oleksiy signed up for sappers

-old valentin and 16-year-old sasho, the boys lived in the kherson region in the small village of krynky, this village was occupied almost at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. and officially the brothers have been wanted since february 23 , all this time nothing was known about the boys. and now we have received very important information that gives hope that the children are all right. so, to the search service the children were approached by a man who said that he now lives in poland, but he knows the family well because he used to be their neighbor. he said that he saw our program on youtube about the search for brothers and decided not to leave it indifferent and to help . the man contacted the boys' mother through social networks and she allegedly informed him that now she and her three sons live in russia , specifically in the krasnodar region, the woman wrote that everything is fine with yaroslav valentyn and sasha

and they are with her. unfortunately , the husband did not manage to provide any more details to find out from the boys' mother, and of course we understand that this information has not been verified, but we passed it on to the police and thanked the man very much for his concern, because what he told in the end may actually help to establish the exact location of the speaker's brothers, we really hope that the information about the missing boys will be confirmed because despite the fact that now they are in russia, of course , the most important thing is that everything is fine with them and that they are really together with their mother , but until it becomes known for sure that this information is reliable, we will continue searches, so if you also know something about the mustya brothers, can you help contact their mother , please let us know on the hotline at the short number 116 000 000, the calls are free. if you do not have the opportunity to call, write
