gos participated on the recommendation of the public council of international experts as unscrupulous, however , in two months, changed his mind and recognized zaitsa as fully capable of administering justice in the sviatoshyn raisud of the capital. one of those judges who believe that they no longer need to go through the plenary session, so they can continue to work with the judge. at the interview in the competition for the higher anti-corruption court , a lot of interesting and mysterious facts about the increase in the hare's fortune came to light. so in 2011 , he still held the position of an assistant judge, without a substantive one official income, taras zaits managed to buy an audi q7 for $90. at the interview , he stated that his parents helped, of course, and he collected the $13,000 in savings indicated in the declaration from school. the specified documents indisputably confirm the existence of official and legal sources for the relevant preservation, this preservation for my entire life. also, roughly speaking, there from school, from the university. earned something, saved. taras

zayets led a rather active lifestyle: dubai, sharmelishek, vienna, dalaman, amsterdam, bodrum, doha. yes, we really are sometimes we travel abroad as a family. we have friends living abroad, friends to whom we have traveled many times and actually incurred expenses only for buying tickets. actually, the standard set of judges, loving parents who provide real estate and cars, hospitable friends around the world who pay for travel. today, judge taras zayets believes that he has already passed the qualifications. assessment and refuses to take it again. we understand that there is something to worry about, because in 2019 it was international experts who found him unworthy of the position of judge of the higher anti-corruption court. now, when the entire branch of higher judicial bodies has been reformed with the participation of foreign partners, it will not be easy to overcome the new, high barrier of requirements for the administration of justice. and probably this qualification assessment will eventually weed out many unworthy servants of femita. it was

the judicial control program and i, tatiana shustrova. if you have information about unscrupulous judges and facts of corruption in the judicial system, please let me know on facebook or at the email address you see on the screen now. all the best and see you soon. the program of the ukrainian voice of america service is broadcast from washington. i am yulia yarmolenko. congratulations. the united states announced a new package of military aid to ukraine in the amount of 100 million dollars. it has additional hymers systems and shells for them, missiles for air defense systems, anti-tank weapons, explosive ammunition. cartridges for small

arms, these capabilities will come from the us's own reserves and, according to the white house , will help meet the urgent needs of the ukrainian military on the front lines. at the same time, the administration of president biden urges congress to approve the white house's request for additional funding as soon as possible, so that support for kyiv is continuous. this will help meet ukraine's urgent needs on the battlefield, but we want to call on congress again. to approve the additional requests we have been making to allow us to continue to support ukraine unhindered and uninterrupted as the summer continues to get shorter with each aid package we give them. as president biden said, when bullies don't clean up their aggression, they cause more chaos, death and destruction. they just keep doing what they're doing, and the costs and threats to america and the world continue to grow. so the actions we take and, just as critically, the potential actions we don't take.

will have ramifications for years to come, i'm sure you saw president biden's op-ed for the washington post over the weekend in which he said the world is once again facing a tipping point, and the choices we make will determine the future for generations to come. a new aid package from washington in person announced in kyiv the us secretary of defense, lloyd austin, this morning he arrived on an unannounced visit to the ukrainian capital. the purpose of the visit is to once again assure the unwavering support of the united states for ukraine's struggle for freedom. to discuss the urgent needs ahead of winter and the long-term vision of cooperation. the minister's visit takes place on the eve of the regular meeting of the contact group on the defense of ukraine, the so-called ramshtai format. what to expect from this meeting and how observers react to the pentagon chief's visit to kyiv. let's talk about it with mine colleague ostap yarysh, who is currently in direct contact with the studio. ostape, hello. congratulations yulia. ostape, what is the main symbolic and practical significance of the pentagon chief's visit to kyiv? we know that.

this visit took place on the eve of ukraine celebrating the anniversary of the beginning of the revolution of dignity, but also against the background of the fears of certain experts and observers that the conflict in the middle east could distract the west from helping ukraine, and godley came to confirm that this support of the united states and others western countries will remain unchanged, that they will support ukraine, as he said for a long-term perspective, the minister of defense of the united states met with volodymyr zelenskyi, with the minister of defense of ukraine rustem umierov, as well as with the military command of ukraine, commander-in-chief valery zaluzhnyi also participated in meetings with him , but in addition to these official meetings, in order to discuss further support of the united states, he met with ukrainian military personnel who participated in the battles on to the front line, in particular near bakhmut, regarding what message the head of the pentagon brought to kyiv, i think we can listen to his words.

under your leadership, the ukrainian people have done what from the very beginning was unimaginable for most people, and so we saw the courage, the ingenuity, we saw the courage on the part of the ukrainian people who really... shocked the world. the message i bring you today, mr. president, is that the united states of america is with you, we will be with you for the long haul. perspective ostabe, the aid package, actually the practical result , which was announced by minister austin in kyiv, is one of the smallest in two years, is this due to the fact that the money for security assistance to kyiv is running out, and congress has not yet approved new funding. yuli, this is very directly related. they are talking about it directly in the pentagon, when i had the opportunity to ask about it from the deputy spokesperson of the department, she answered that indeed the latest packages are smaller and smaller, due to the fact that the funding that congress is running out allocated even earlier for ukraine, and therefore it is necessary to break up these packages so that they will last longer, and therefore i once again call on

the congress to urgently approve additional funding for ukraine. now - said sabrina sin, the pentagon's deputy spokesperson, the department has a little less than 5 billion dollars left to help with weapons from us warehouses, but at the same time there is about 1 billion left to replenish its own stocks, so the united states is also paying attention to this, however , i emphasize that not only the united states is helping ukraine, and at this moment they are they also count on the fact that other countries, in particular the european union, will help. ostapidin in kyiv, on the eve of the remshtein meeting, which will be the last in 2023, what are the expectations from him, what will be the focus this time? actually, the emphasis is also on the fact that other countries. also helped ukraine, this, let me remind you, about 50 countries participate in such meetings, but again, yuli will talk about the needs of the ukrainian army, on the eve of winter, on the eve of the onset of cold weather, they will also be expected to talk about strengthening the system

air defense of ukraine, taking into account the forecasts that russian missile attacks may intensify, precisely in order to unbalance or damage the ukrainian energy infrastructure, as was the case last year, so it will be talked about, talked about... also about how to support ukraine not only now, but also in the long-term perspective , in order to develop ukrainian capabilities, this is what we have heard before at such meetings, we expect that they will also talk about it, the meeting will be in a virtual format, and also the clocks are ticking, as to how to jointly support ukraine in the future. ostape, as observers generally comment on the visit of the head of the pentagon to kyiv, whether he actually succeeded in conveying the message about the inviolability of the support of the united states. various comments, yuli , including former military officials, american commented on this, retired james tavridis said that two great leaders arrived in kyiv, because not only loyt guest arrived, but also the commander of us european forces, us forces in europe, chris cavoli was, wrote james tavridi, that conand a arrived in kyiv, and for example, ben godges, this is the former commander

of the us ground forces in europe, said that the message should be heard that the united states will give ukraine exactly what it needs to win, and that it has to be in the interests, the strategic interests of the united states, and was defeated, this is what he wanted to hear from the secretary of defense of the united states, the journalists who covered the journalists of the western countries working in kyiv, and were disappointed that, for example, there was no joint press conference loyda osina and of the minister of defense of ukraine rustem omirov, although loyt austin spoke with journalists separately, although they noted that the visit is the second, i will remind the visit of the minister of defense of the united states to kyiv, that this visit in principle demonstrates that the united states is ready to support ukraine despite some other things that are happening now on the world stage say that, in principle, this was a positive signal. ostap, thank you very much, my colleague ostap yarysh was in touch with the studio. almost two years after the full-scale

of the russian invasion, the government of ukraine allowed the blood transfusion procedure to be carried out on the battlefield in cases where the wounded cannot be transported to a medical facility. recently , combat medics performed their first operation on the battlefield, and medics are now undergoing specialized training to perform this task. myroslava gonadza attended the training of combat medics of the territorial defense unit of kyiv in bucha. her story continues. in this medical center in bucha , fighters of the territorial defense unit of kyiv study and practice new skills, they are preparing for a blood transfusion, one of the most complex medical procedures on the front line. instructor maria nazarova played a key role in promoting the adoption and implementation of a new medical protocol for the front line in ukraine. she teaches her colleagues this life-saving procedure. this has been happening since 2014, since the beginning of the war. we knew that other countries were already doing it, we followed the american

experience in this area, the experience of the norwegian special forces guys. the challenges associated with the ongoing war prompted the command and doctors, adopt new protocols that meet nato standards. i am sure that the american military understands this process well. they 've done 10,000 blood transfusions in iraq and afghanistan, and they on the... that experience and based on that they said that transfusions can be done this way. ukrainian medics emphasize that the conditions of the russian-ukrainian war make it impossible to rescue during the so-called golden hour, when a wounded soldier can be taken to a military hospital or medical center within 60 minutes or less. significant losses of the ukrainian military are related to the difficulties of transporting wounded soldiers. combat medic andrii, who did not give his last name to the survey. bezpeky says that the actions of medics in the first minutes after an injury are of crucial importance. today, the biggest

challenge is transporting the wounded to hospitals, because sometimes it can take one or two days from the time a soldier is wounded to get him to the hospital, which is too long. this problem arises due to heavy artillery engagements, which prevent us from transporting the wounded. combat medic yaroslav, who also asked not to mention his last name or something. returned from the front line and emphasizes the need for proper medical training of fighters and servicemen. unfortunately, sometimes the evacuation time can take up to 5-6 hours there, and if a combat medic is near his fellow wounded man, it would be very ideal if he could infuse him with some blood group in addition to saline solution, that is, but again, this everything is individual depending on the damage, because the ma should know all this in order to be able to assess the situation, whether it is really necessary, and probably

one of the key challenges that will be for us is the storage of this blood and proper transportation, nazarova says that she wants to save as many lives as possible. the closer to the front line, the better we can get medical supplies and medics, but sometimes you don't have armored vehicles and you just can't get... to a doctor, so the biggest challenge for us is to evacuate the wounded in these conditions. it is expected that the government's permission to transfuse blood not only by doctors, but also by military medics without special training, who trained will greatly reduce the percentage of deaths on the battlefield due to blood loss. myroslava gongadze, voice of america, bucha, ukraine. november 20 is international children's day. it is on this day that the general assembly of the united nations. adopted two fundamental documents in the field of protection of children's rights: the 1959 declaration on the rights of the child, and later

the 89th convention on the rights of the child. russia is currently violating the norms of both. according to official figures alone, almost 20,000 ukrainian children have been either deported or forcibly displaced since the start of the full-scale invasion. as public organizations and the ukrainian authorities manage to return young ukrainians home, and what the children themselves talk about after their return, i learned. lesya bakalets. denis comes from kherson. last october, when the city was still occupied by the russians, his lyceum organized a forced trip of students to the so-called health camp in occupied livpatoria. the lyceum forged documents for going to the camp. and i was simply deported illegally. denis was then 17 years old. in the camp, he recalls, he and the children started right away to conduct political information.

there was a head of security, a former ukrainian berkutov citizen, valery ostahov, he fled in 2014, switched to the russian side , he gathered us, said that russia is better, ukraine is bad, russia will seize all the territories of ukraine, that ukrainians are slaves, the camp was supposed to last for two weeks , but denis stayed in the parish for four months. i stayed until the second of february, because i am a student, and all students began to be sent to study on the occupied peninsula, i was sent to kev, where the boy was supervised by the staff of the local college, who constantly offered him to change his citizenship to russian. so denys studied in the occupation until the end of the school year. somewhere in may , i got a call from a friend there, who said that there is an organization called save ucrayn, which brings children back home. i called from a russian number, gave all the information i needed, that i wanted

to go home, that at that time, yes, i hadn't seen my parents for 10 months. civil society organizations safe ukraine tell that there are many cases when children themselves contact them from russia or the temporarily occupied territories, from the moment of receiving the application, experts start prepare a rescue operation. as soon as we clearly know that the documents are ready, we clearly know where the child is, where the mother is, we come up with all these logistics and determine when it is better to go, taking into account a crazy bunch of nuances, up to what time of day to cross border, thank god. there are a lot of people, ukrainians, who live under occupation, but they want to help, and these are our volunteers, and who risk, very madly risk their lives, the lives of their families, their safety, but they understand that what about the children must be saved, denis has both a mother and father with disabilities, so his mother-friend went to kerch to pick him up, for whom his parents made a power of attorney, but the authorities of the occupied crimea

did not want to recognize the legality of ukrainian documents for a long time, they do not recognize ukrainian legislation, ukrainian: a certificate of birth, it is not a document for them. according to the data of the non-governmental organization regional center for human rights, more than 800 ukrainian children were taken to russian health camps according to a similar scheme to denis's. we deal with more than 50 camps on the territory of the russian federation, and at least five camps on the territory of belarus and nine camps on the territory of the occupied crimea. kateryna rashevska says: russia does not hide that it has specific programs for the patriotic re-education of ukrainian children. this is, for example, a program such as map 85.4 specially developed by the ministry of education of the russian federation for ukrainian children from the newly occupied territories. that is, there is no improvement there. there is simply a ten-day program of skating on the territory of russia federation, where ukrainian children are told

an alternative version of the history of the russian federation, where ukraine is little russia. human rights activists are sure that what is happening now with ukrainian children proves that international protective norms do not work. despite the fact that there are a huge number of very well and clearly written documents in the world , such as international humanitarian law, such as various conventions, which clearly state what and who should do in which cases, but if that country appears , that member of the world community who does not want to live by rules, such as the russian federation today. the whole world global system of child safety in the world, it simply does not work, after the international criminal court issued a warrant for the arrest of the president of russia vladimir putin and children's ombudsman maria levova bilovova, this is an important signal for the international community - darya gerasevchuk is convinced. but the world should be more clearly aware that the deportation of children is not only a problem of ukraine. we

are talking about the fact that any other country in the world, which would find itself in ukraine's place now, would also be looking for this way out, therefore that it does not exist today, that is why we say that saving ukrainian children, in fact, today we are saving every child in any country in the world so that this does not happen to them. according to official data , since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, russia has deported almost 20,000 ukrainian children, and managed to return a little more than 380. denys recalls that only in his camp there were 600 children from the kherson region. the fate of most of them is currently unknown to him. lesya vakalets, voice of america. argentina elected a new president. it became him far-right politician javier millay, who won 56% of the vote. president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy congratulated miley and

thanked him for his clear position in support of ukraine. in the comments of the voice of america, the ambassador of ukraine to argentina. yuriy klymenko noted that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, miley condemned russian aggression and expressed solidarity with ukraine. the ambassador expressed hope that during miley's presidency it will be possible to intensify ukrainian-argentine relations and that argentina will join in the implementation ukrainian initiatives, in particular president zelenskyi's peace formula. on the eve of the elections , iryna shinkarenko spoke with ambassador yuriy klymenko about the political situation and russian influence in argentina. higher management. argentina, it takes such an ambiguous position. we remember that a few weeks before the start of a full-scale war, the president of argentina met with putin and said that argentina could become the gateway to russia. to latin america, we also know that argentina refused to provide arms to ukraine, no

imposed sanctions against russia, at the same time, we see that argentina voted for the resolution of the oun general assembly, which condemns russia's attempt to annex ukrainian territories, that is , the rhetoric is still changing, in your opinion, not only the rhetoric is changing here, you understand, well, the first turn, argentina did not become any gate. the argentine side , the side, immediately, in fact, after the full-scale aggression, it condemned the full-scale russian invasion, and actually began, began to support most of the ukrainian advantages, almost all ukrainian initiatives within the framework of the un and other international organizations, that is, it even moved... to such a level of support as the co-authorship of ukrainian, ukrainian resolutions, within the framework of the un, and we have

certain uh, uh, positive expectations, optimistic expectations regarding, regarding further, further prospects, for example, regarding the decision on the introduction of sanctions, how close were argentina's ties with russia so far, why did it not introduce sanctions? actually, i think that, what, what our arguments, they are still, maybe not as quickly as we wanted, but they are gradually arriving, because and, i will not say that, directly, sanctions are being introduced, but , but in principle, certain, certain decisions, decisions, regarding specific russian suppliers, or specific operations, they, all- still, the argentine side is accepted by the side.

mr. yuri, are the spanish-language versions of russian tv channels, such as actualida, the mundo satellite, really popular in argentina, and how does russia generally use information sources for its propaganda in the country, i would not say that russian uh, propaganda television channels have significant popularity or their influence has increased, well, i cannot say the same about argentina, but really, really, unfortunately , this tv channel, actualidater russia today, still functions in the first place in argentina, and this is happening, although we from our side, we constantly draw attention to his activity

, to his production of anti-ukrainian and even anti-democratic fakes, but for now this, this whole channel, the channel exists, what else i would like to draw attention to in the context of russian propaganda is that , that, what actually, in argentina has a place, quite uh, widespread uh, leftists, leftists in the monastery, uh, here , by the way, there is a communist party of argentina, founded in 100... 918, there is also such and such

a structure like the left front is a socialist political party of the trotskyite variety, and actually russian diplomacy uses these currents to spread its narratives in argentina, mr. yuri, regarding the so-called russian refugees, in one of your interviews you talked about the fact that there is a large influx of russians to argentina, at the beginning of the full-scale war of russia against ukraine and in particular, that the argentinians have such a loyal attitude towards the russians, do you have any data on whether the russians continue to arrive in argentina, how they are treated there, whether they have any privileges, under what pretext they arrive, and in particular regarding the ukrainian refugees, as their are accepted in argentina now, if you look at the latest statistics, statistical data, from the middle of 2022 to... time arrived in argentina in district 35 , in fact, in one and a half years. a little more than

35,000 russians arrived, this is a rather high, large indicator, at the same time attention, that somewhere more than 10,000 of them are women who wanted or want to give birth to children in argentina, that is, there is this aspect. in order for the parents to obtain argentine citizenship, among these 35,000 russians, who were brought here, i am sure that there are, there are, there are representatives of the russian special services who are trying to establish a better foothold on

argentine territory, actually to strengthen its position in latin america, but at the same time i would like to emphasize one characteristic, feature, as, what is me actually, what, what actually is noticeable, this, this is actually, uh, uh, russian great-power chauvinism, which, which , can be traced in their behavior and here, it is this great-power chauvinism, it does not so much... concern ukrainians, but here it, it has other manifestations, this, it concerns, concerns the attitude towards representatives of latin america, first of all, argentines, argentines, ordinary argentines, that is, it is such, you know, superiority in relation to the local population.

ukrainians all over the world celebrate on the fourth saturday of november memory of the victims of the famine. in the usa, ukrainian communities in a number of states hold commemorative evenings, educational and artistic events. khrystyna shevchenko will tell how the 90th anniversary of the holodomor is commemorated in los angeles. they are starting to commemorate the anniversary in the ukrainian orthodox church of st. andrew with an exhibition. here are these prints of 12 paintings by the american-ukrainian artist. lydia bodnak belagutrak talks about the famine . the american-born artist created works from 1992 to 1995, after visiting ukraine. i felt then that people really don't want to talk about it and they live in denial. i felt compelled to really show it to the american public. now, says lydia, during

the war with russia. it is very important that art tells the truth about the genocide of ukrainians. in fact, books, plays, or works of art about complex issues are a very humane way of dealing with what is happening in the world. also, students of the ukrainian saturday school in los angeles laid flowers at the holodomor monument in grand park. and in the roman catholic cathedral of the mother of god an ecumenical prayer was held for the patroness of angels. father, son and holy spirit. archbishop daniel of the ukrainian orthodox church of america came to dolostangeles from new jersey. he says the holodomor is a tragedy that is extremely important for understanding the context of the current war with russia. to live in the diaspora, to be in the united states of america, where even today, despite the fact that the war in ukraine is going on today, many people have no idea what a painful

ukrainian history was. people, and therefore we should in english, in ukrainian as well, but in english, especially to convey to the population of the united states of america the truth about our past, about the tragedy of the holodomor, but also about the present tragedy, the holodomor may have ended in the 1930s, the genocide continues to this day. professors and historians of american universities also spoke about the importance of teaching americans about ukrainian history. victoria malko teaches american and world history at the university of california. in fresno, she invites her students to look at the topic ukrainian famine in the context of world genocides. in our university, they are sons, daughters, farmers, and they, they are simply very shocked, how can it be that the state is starving people and not even...
