[000:00:00;00] they will have to, must appear in court, and the court, i will tell you, is 12 years old, another editor and presenter of the occupiers is nataliya mnatsakanyan, we investigated that the woman has had russian citizenship since 2015, the question remains open, why the security service at that time ukrainian mariupol television did not find out this fact. on march 22, natalia mnatsakanyan left for moscow and later returned to mariupol to create a local propaganda tv channel. the other day, a delegation from chechnya arrived in the dpr, headed by the prime minister fighters of the akhmat special forces toured the region. we 're sure this tv feast during the plague won't last long. our military will liberate mariupol and all traitors will be held accountable. of course, if they don't bite their heels, there is information that the russians are already delaying the salaries of collaborators working in occupation institutions by

two. three months, so the sellers have few options, either disappear, or go to a ukrainian prison for 15 years with confiscation of property. it was the program collaborators and i, olena kononenko. if you if you have information about kremlin sellers, write to us at this e-mail address or simply on facebook, together we will send all the traitors after the russian ship. see you in a week on espresso. welcome to the broadcast of the program of the ukrainian voice of america chas tym, me and the host oleksiy kovalenko. russia's war against ukraine and

the situation in the gas sector. the leading topics of the more than four-hour talks between us president joe biden and chinese leader xi jinping, which took place near san francisco in california. the us president called the negotiations constructive and productive. my colleague yuliya yarmonenko found out what other topics the leaders of the two countries talked about and what issues they managed to agree on. julia, congratulations. congratulations oleksya. yulia, what was still managed to be achieved during the negotiations between the leaders of the usa and china. but what is the actual importance of their agreements? you know oleksii. the bar of expectations for this meeting was low, given the very level of relations between the united states and china at this stage, but the two leaders still managed to reach certain agreements. first, one of them is very important for the united states, which is going through the opioid crisis , the two leaders agreed to continue or restore cooperation, cooperation in the fight against narcotic substances, and in particular, as president

biden said, pinh agreed to suppress such work of companies that nevertheless do make the opiate chemical component to fentanyl, this is a very important topic for the united states. there are also certain agreements regarding the safety of artificial intelligence, but the most important thing is that what we have been saying for several days is that the two leaders have agreed to restore the military communication channels, the communication channels between the two militaries, and this is a very important topic because since 2022, china has cut off these communication channels after nanci palosi the then speaker of the house of representatives visited taiwan, the white house emphasized that it was completely irresponsible and dangerous and repeatedly said that in fact at that time from 2022 until today, there was virtually no communication between the chinese and united states troops. why is this important?

because sound sources, or sound lines of communication like that... they are extremely important to avoid any military miscalculations, to ensure that the forces of one other country understand china's intentions, the united states' intentions, and to avoid of potential conflicts, and the president of the united states, joe biden, when he was at a press conference the day before, he said that, of course, both xinxilpin and he remain on their ideas, everyone has a number of differences between them, the united states and china remain competitors. but he thinks that the two countries have a responsibility to continue normal contacts with each other in order to have such responsible leadership. let's hear what he said at the press conference. in the coming months, we will continue to support and conduct high-level diplomacy with china in both directions so that channels of communication remain open, including between president xi and

myself. he. and i agreed that each of us could pick up the phone, call directly and be heard immediately. we are in competitive relations between the usa and china, but mine the responsibility is to make them rationally. from the official representatives of the chinese government, in particular xi jinping, as well as other representatives, it seems that china is now also interested in reducing the level of tension, and if not normalizing relations between the two countries, then at least stabilizing them, let's hear what wang said minister of foreign affairs. we believe that china and china will eventually find the right way to understand each other, this is the inevitable trend of history, the trend of the times and people's expectations. next year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between china and the united states.

the two sides should start from san francisco, create a new vision, further strengthen the foundation of china-us relations, build the pillars of peaceful coexistence, and promote the development of bilateral relations in a healthy, stable and sustainable direction. yulia, russia's war against ukraine was also discussed, among other topics. what exactly is known about this part of the negotiations and was it possible to reach any understanding on this issue? you you know, oleksiy, unfortunately, not much is known about this part of the negotiations, but president biden himself said that he brought up the topic of the war in ukraine, in particular, that russia does not want to stop its aggressive illegal war, but we also heard from white house officials, that the president in his conversation with xi jinping brought up the concerns that they have about china's actual role, and we know that there have been concerns from the white house before, that they were calling for china to step in and pressure russia to get russia to end its war, but yes

it seems that there are no developments here at the moment, and china is still balancing and trying to be neutral in this war. and finally, can we expect a decrease in pressure. relations between the two countries after this meeting? you know, alex , actually, we're going to see that in the next weeks and months, because the expectations are really high, the statements sound optimistic, but you know, time will tell, and even at the end of the press conference, president biden was asked again if he still considers xijin ping a dictator, to which he said yes, and said, that because he runs a communist country, and you could see the reaction of anthony blinken, the secretary of state for communications. states, and he probably anticipated the reaction to those comments from the chinese side, and we heard that reaction, they called those comments irresponsible, but they didn't try to escalate the situation, we know xijin pin got what he wanted, visually a good

picture that he believes can attract investment to china, we know that the economy is not doing very well right now, we know that president biden basically got what he wanted, after all, a little bit of normalization of relations or communication channels. and also again certain agreements on opioids, yes, but we'll see what this communication actually leads to, we know, the last meeting was on the sidelines of the group of 20 summit and after that there were a series of incidents that led to a significant deterioration of relations, so everything will be checked in time, but at least there is no lack of optimism now, thank you very much, yulia, we will continue to monitor this topic, i will remind our viewers that she was with us on... communications, our correspondent from the white house, yuliya yarmonko. the minister of foreign affairs of great britain, david

cameron, came to ukraine on his first working visit in his new position. at the meeting with representatives of the ukrainian authorities, they discussed aid to ukraine, supplies of weapons and air defense equipment, as well as support for ukrainian exports. former british prime minister cameron said that his first. an official trip abroad in this position should demonstrate the firmness of support for ukrainians in the fight against russian aggression. we will talk more about the visit with our european correspondent from london, bohdan tsyupin. bohdan, congratulations. greeting. bohdan what is the significance of the fact that cameron chose ukraine for his first foreign visit? if by importance we mean effectiveness or necessity for ukraine in this situation, then it is obvious. the most important thing now is to once again draw attention to ukraine in this situation, when in particular, for example, the situation in the middle east attracts more and more attention of the world, and some

may consider that ukraine has been forgotten, so this is certainly important, and the fact that specific practical matters were certainly resolved is also certainly important. for example, great britain, as a large maritime power with serious resources in this field, declares that it wants to contribute to the provision of a maritime corridor from ukraine, in particular from the ports around odesa to the world ocean, and for example, british public services and private companies, which in particular provide marine transport insurance if they would like to take a more active part in these affairs, it would probably help ukraine, but... first

of all, of course, this is also symbolism, we do not cover the visits of all foreign ministers to ukraine, which are obviously frequent and regular, but great britain is still the leader in international aid to ukraine, and today david cameron emphasized that this should continue to be the case. i am glad that my first visit as minister of foreign affairs is here in ukraine and my message is very clear, we will continue to provide you with moral, economic, political and diplomatic support, and of course military support in your fight against russian aggression, which cannot be justified by anything. bohdan, how was cameron's visit to ukraine and his statements regarding former british prime minister johnson's support for ukraine perceived in great britain? well, this is one of those that i turned to.

the british press, very often, again, the large-circulation british newspapers, for example, do not write much about international visits by government officials, but here we have a certain intrigue, we have a former prime minister and his, again former associate, government official and also former prime minister boris johnson, they turned out to be de facto political rivals during the brexit referendum, david cameron was prime minister and advocated for britain to remain in the european union, boris johnson advocated for the british to leave the eu, and today david cameron reminded that these differences and possibly others remain between them, but at the same time he emphasized that what boris johnson did, when it comes to supporting ukraine, about mobilizing, in particular, international . support

of ukraine, he considers this to be the best achievement of what boris johnson has done, so he agrees with his political rival on this. bohdan, we also remember that cameron headed the british government in the 14th year during the annexation of crimea and the occupation of eastern ukraine. how do you actually evaluate his policy in relation to ukraine then? well now they say that david cameron came into office with experience and also burden, and experience is obviously his many years in government, he was prime minister from 2010 to 2016, but when it comes to baggage, let's say critics accuse him, for example, of participating in insufficient international efforts, in response to what we now know in fact was the beginning of the russian war against ukraine, when russia seized crimea and its forces began combat

operations in donbas . then russia was kicked out of the simi group from the g7, then there was, of course, the group of eight, russia was subjected to the first sanctions, which were extended and continue to this day, this can be said from the certain experience of david cameron in office. there are critics who say that britain should have gotten involved in the norman effort. fours, about which some politicians in ukraine also said that they thought it would be desirable for the british and americans to get involved, and then the pressure on russia might be better after the so -called, during the so-called minsk negotiations, so there is a positive , there is a negative that david cameron will take from this, so to speak, to the extent that he is armed with this experience. will be able to conduct international policy more effectively. obviously, we will

see further. so. thank you very much, bohdan. our european correspondent from london, bohdan tsyupan, was in direct contact with us. and till another topic. the governor of pennsylvania, the senate and the house of representatives of this state announced november as a place to honor the holodomor, the genocide of the ukrainian people. iryna matviychuk and kostyantyn golubchyk attended the presentation of the respective resolutions and asked american legislators why they consider this decision important for americans. the resolution, which provides for the recognition of november as the month of honoring the ukrainian holodomor genocide, was presented in the local state capitol by local legislators to the leaders ukrainian community. local senators and congressmen say this decision is important for the american community as well. we can look back 90 years and look at

the history of this terrible time in world history. we are obliged to talk about it in order to remember, to remember not only the tragic one. loss of life, but also about the evil that allowed this tragedy to happen. this is why it is important that we express our support for ukraine, especially at this time when they are waging yet another war, which is already being called genocide. this war has very deep roots and we need it remind people of the facts, we never forget, i'm a professor of political science and public policy and see that many of my students don't know enough about american history, let alone just beyond our borders, we have to keep reminding people of this, one of the ways we doing so, this week the state house of representatives and senate are likely to support a bill that would mandate that not a single pennsylvania tax dollar could be used to support any business linked to the russian government.

we try to back up our position with actions. on this day , the ukrainian community organized an exhibition dedicated to the holodomor in the premises of the pennsylvania capitol. among the visitors are local americans. i see this exhibit about the famine, but i don't really know why they do it here in pennsylvania, but i remember we were taught in history class that it was a famine that was caused by stalin and that it seemed like a million people died, a lot of people died from hunger without need, it was a political hunger. i think knowing about it is important because we are a new generation, we can change it and do everything so that our country does not do something like this. i think we need to know how bad it was and how cruel other countries are in order to understand what we can change so that our country does not have such cruelty. the state of pennsylvania, according to

the ukrainian-american demographics website, has the second largest number of ukrainian immigrants in the united states after new york. because ukraine is very close to us, although... we are far from ukraine, this is not only the ukraine of shevchenko and lesha ukrainka, this is the ukraine of our parents and forefathers, and we we know that our people passed that terrible famine, and that is why we want the world to know, according to the calculations of the honorary consul of ukraine in pennsylvania, iryna mazor, there are currently about 3,000 ukrainians living here, the exhibition and the recognition of november as the month of commemoration of the famine, says mrs. mazur, will show... that the causes of today's war in ukraine did not start a year and a half ago, that there is a long tragic history between ukraine and russia. how powerful our community is, and indeed the people who work on the research committee famine, they have been working for decades, so we constantly inform our legislators about what happened in ukraine and what is

the causal relationship between the events that took place 100 years ago and the events that are happening today? if we don't remember, no one will remember, we see in the world and in ukraine today what is happening ukrainian farmers and grain exports also contributed to the global food crisis, but we know that it also changed the daily life of american farmers. details in the plot. adam brown's farm, near decatur, illinois, located approximately 9,000 km from the front line in ukraine. however, even despite the fact that artillery shells and rockets. fall halfway around the world, adam brown feels the impact in his cornfields in illinois. we are worried about the war in ukraine, because everything has become unpredictable with its start. it all started with an increase in grain prices. so, initially, the price of corn and soybeans increased. this is because the markets

reacted to the cessation of significant exports of agricultural products from ukraine. to war, they were the seventh exporter of corn. ukraine is a big competitor and we want them to continue to be competitors. as other countries have filled the void created by the loss of grain products in ukraine, wheat prices this year have fallen by about 50% from the all-time highs recorded during the first month of russia's invasion of ukraine in 2022. corn prices also fell from a ten-year high in april 2022. russia's attacks on ukraine's export infrastructure caused a new one. uncertainty in the international market. you will see certain acts of aggression. missiles and bombs will fly into grain fields all along the black sea or even into grain ships. and this will lead to sharp growth. to

the attacks of russia. it's a bit sad, i think the world is kind of used to what russia allows itself. us secretary of agriculture tom vilsyak believes that the increase in market stability is also a result of ukraine's stability. ukraine worked like hell on creation. i think there are a lot more opportunities for grain transportation now than there were a year ago, despite the difficulties in the black sea there is now an overland route through romania so that is good news. however, farmer adam brown assures that the decrease in production in ukraine is a bad sign. this year they cultivated 25% less land than before the war, so they are still not producing as much as they could, and all that they produce is still being taken by the russians. as demand and prices continue to fluctuate, one

person's gain may be another person's loss. you know, it may mean that we will have better prices for goods, but it is not the way, y which we would like to have it. we want to see fair trade, competition, we want to have better negotiations, neighborly relations and greater sustainability for the entire globe. the globe, whose attention quickly shifted to a new war between israel and hamas. while the war in ukraine and uncertainty about its grain exports continues. yurii mamon, the voice of america. meanwhile, ukrainian books are increasingly being translated and published abroad, this year alone a number of american publishing houses are preparing for publication or have already published novels by many modern ukrainian writers in new york, ukrainian writers met to talk with iryna solomka and pavlo terekhov attended this event. this is the first visit of ukrainian writer olena stiazhkina to the united

states and the first english translation of her book levsel's death made sense. without the war, i would be talking to you now about happiness. and now i consider this book from the point of view of how it will be helpful for ukraine to get more weapons. and it seems to me that there is something in the book that explains why we are not speechless victims, but such fighters, what is worth supporting, and how we became ukrainians, and most importantly, how we became ukrainians as a political nation, the first meeting with tyashkina with english-speaking readers took place at harvard university in boston, then at yale university in connecticut, the writer admits, americans are less interested in ukrainian literature , but rather the situation: in ukraine, they simply ask about what i can tell you, as a person who

came there from ukraine three days ago, here, but mainly, they uh, the last question in yale was from one of the students which school deliberately came, an african-american, and he said that he understood ukraine very well, and he asked. in my mind, what should be done so that the american, official authorities give ukraine more weapons, and he and i, at the end of our conversation, it was already at the end, spent a very long time developing a plan, how we could together contribute to the fact that the american senators, the american presidents, the congress realized that we needed more help, and it ended up being a real blessing, right, in new york. together with colleagues andrii korkov and oksana lucina, who also had english translations published in the us after the full-scale invasion, spoke to readers at

the new york public library. andriy kurkov, the most famous ukrainian writer abroad, agrees that , especially now, these meetings are usually more about politics than about literature. literature is an excuse, that is, literature is an opportunity, that is, the legalization of political issues, because i have now spoken for almost 70 days in europe, and there and separately there for two days in canada, i noticed that already in october, i was asked to speak more about literature than about politics by the organizers of the meetings. korkov, who has another novel being prepared for publication, says: it is important for a book to get to the right publisher and publish it on time. now it is the war that draws attention to the creativity of ukrainian writers. if you missed the moment, then the next one. the moment for this book will come in 10-15 years, and by the way, i have the same story now too, my novel

jimi hendrix's lviv tour will be published in america. he already is. came out 10 years ago, in german, french, other languages, in english, it came out only three years ago in london, but two years ago, the americans somehow did not have time and felt that they missed the moment, now because of this war, everything is ukrainian, it already has an additional, additional sign of quality, or there is an additional plus. kurkob notes that interest in ukraine, especially in europe, is declining, among writers and institutions. who spread ukrainian literature in the world could not make the most of this moment, he believes, i.e it was necessary to carry out a purposeful campaign, up to the point that delegations from the book institute could travel and meet with publishers, or come to publishers' conferences, or organize such conferences for foreign publishers in poland or germany, and talk specifically in

the publisher's language about what is interesting now in ukrainian literature and what should be paid attention to, because the institute translated a lot of excerpts of the book into german, english, or polish, that is, there were these magazine-catalogues that i myself carried from kyiv around the world, and here it is it was necessary to print and bring and make several large meetings in different countries from this, oksana lutsyshina, who has been living and teaching in the usa for a long time, says: the current war is a war of narratives, therefore the ukrainian voice... is more important than ever, it is a war of meanings , this is an epistemic war, and actually ukrainian authors will talk about it somewhere in their works , well, obviously, some russian ones will also talk about it, but now it's not about that, and people just became interested in why it happened like that, and not just what happened. maria genkin, members organization razom and co-organizer of the writers' meeting says: more and more

important american cultural institutions want to have... events about ukraine. in the summer , representatives of the new york public library themselves approached her and offered to hold such a meeting. when we tried to hold some events a few years ago, people were not very interested in hearing about ukraine. of course, the war has made ukraine fashionable and interesting. oh, and it is a pity that this happened in our country because of the war, but this moment, as korkov said today, must use for that. to tell people further and interest people further, and today it was clear that there were a lot of americans, a lot of non-ukrainian-speaking public who came specifically to get to know ukrainian writers. german anya badura, one of them, says that this is her first acquaintance with ukrainian literature, and she has already bought kurkov's book. i often come here with my husband for readings and events like this, and

each time i leave this place with more understanding and interest. it really broadens your world view. i'm glad i came listen to ukrainian authors. for me, an american of ukrainian descent, seeing a new generation of authors and how committed they are to spreading ukrainian culture, history and literature is very important, it is very encouraging. glory to ukraine. from new york iryna solomko, pavlo terikhov, voice of america. this will be our farewell, also watch our daily briefings at 18 on youtube and facebook, you can ask us your questions live. thank you for staying with us, good night and
