yes, this war is exhausting, and we are not in the worst situation yet, but, unfortunately, there is not much optimism. i believe that the war will end precisely, in a brutal military way. the summit, yes, it will somewhat weaken, or rather, it will not weaken, it will give us hope, it will give us the opportunity to move on and hope for the best ending of this war, but... still, the issue of ending the war will be decided precisely on the battlefield, the ukrainian people are enough suffers a lot now, especially the people who are located are in the front-line zones, so this is one of the most important steps on summit, this is to inform about us, to remind that we are still suffering, we still need help, i have very high hopes, the peace summit should consider the issue of...

and the return home of our ukrainian military prisoners, civilian prisoners, for this topic is relevant to me, because i have a brother in captivity of the russians, so this topic worries me more, and that this topic will be considered at the summit, that's how i heard about it, i expect that this summit will definitely take place. . as a certain continuation of groupings european environment around support for ukraine. and what are your hopes for the peace summit, write in the comments under our broadcast. and about ukraine's hopes for the summit and the results of the meeting of the sema group, which is currently ongoing in italy, we will talk further with oleg shamsher, the extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine, the ambassador of ukraine to the usa in 2006-2010. good evening to you. good evening, what do you

say about the draft final decision of the peace summit in switzerland, which, according to the ukrainian media, was changed in favor of ukraine, is it really so, and how can you to evaluate, to be completely frank, i have not yet read, well, the version of the final document, but under any conditions conditions and excuse the conditions. er, it was nice to hear what ordinary ukrainians say, and who have absolutely realistic expectations from the summit, that is, there are really some important issues, and i completely understand the woman who spoke about the issue of the exchange of prisoners, about the release of ukrainians, who are captured by russia, deported, but... it must be understood that none of these issues,

i.e. nuclear safety and food security, and even the question of the exchange of prisoners, are not, to be completely honest, such key central issues that would contribute to the end of the war, especially the end of the war on our terms, therefore under any wording that will be in the final.. document and obviously the work will be continued at the summit itself, it must be understood that important issues will be discussed there, it can be a useful platform, but not so much for dialogue with our western partners, so much for dialogue with the so -called global south and it is very important , who will come, at what level of reports, what we will hear from them, eh, this is what is real... you can

expect from a peace summit, peace, but not, well , by definition, what we know and what we hear, this is not a summit where key decisions will be made to end the war. by the way, among the proposed changes, the term russian aggression appeared, and the mention that russia should be included in the next peace summit was deleted. mandatory and also the peace formula of ukraine, the president's peace formula zelenskyi, it became clearer. why do you think switzerland changed its mind and agreed to these changes? perhaps the position was influenced by the decrease in the number of participants, and thus it was possible to find a wider consensus, because radio liberty, in particular, reported that now there are already 78 participants, not 90, not more than 90, as it was discussed before, not excluded, that is, it is clear , that... the limitation of the agenda

to three issues was an indication that there is a certain consensus, understanding, interest in these three issues, but not... for discussion of all the key issues, this is firstly, secondly, it is still necessary to understand, it is very important that there is our formula for peace, and in principle, as i said, it is a platform, useful, important in order to promote our principles, to win support for these principles, but i have always said that it is not necessary to overestimate the meaning of the wording, except. ruled out, it is important whether decisions will be made, which in this case bring the war closer to the end, whether any concrete steps will be taken there, we understand that this will not happen there, no matter how much we would like it, and this, as it is most important to me, that is, i am against

fighting for, say, individual words, commas, paragraphs, the main thing is the essence, but there is another issue, the western media today write about such behind-the-scenes games of china, they say that china is trying to promote, china , who is not going to this summit, is trying to promote his peace plan to the rest of the countries, why are they doing this, why do you think, why now and can they influence anyone at all? uh, why is it clear now, on the eve of a peace summit or forum, and it started not now, it started some time ago, and... china is advancing its plan, and we know that this plan, no matter how optically abstract the wording is, is a plan that is in russia's interests, and i once again i emphasize that in fact, around this

forum, the summit, the struggle is primarily for support for the understanding of the global south, which is why active efforts are being made now. china in order to promote its plan as an alternative to the plan for peace put forward by the president of ukraine. given that today the g7 summit is happening, won't it overshadow this peace summit this weekend, because now the higher us delegation is represented, and biden will no longer be in switzerland, what do you think? well, again, about the fact that biden is not there... i would have at least understood in advance, because now biden is focused primarily on his re-election, firstly, secondly, precisely because it is such a unbreakable peace summit,

he probably has no incentive to make any effort to stay in europe for a few more days, as he knows from gs the g7 departs earlier, precisely because it has to participate in events in the united states, and in principle, the key, key event is indeed the meeting of the seven, no matter how we like it, well, we did not want to raise the level of the forum, and it is necessary to understand that exactly on the meetings of the big seven will discuss issues that are really of key importance. for the strengthening of support for ukraine from our western partners, just as we are returning to the current events in italy, today ukraine is signing a security agreement with the united states of america for 10 years, it already seems if i'm not mistaken, the 17th agreement of ukraine. these agreements, in fact, they should replace ukraine's

membership in nato until it is accepted into the alliance. here is this term of 10 years of the agreement with the usa, does this mean that ukraine can join nato in 10 years? well, i would not like it to be, and i believe that it is absolutely wrong to even agree with such ideas and narratives that this is a replacement for nato membership. these are really very useful, very necessary agreements, documents in order to strengthen support for ukraine in repelling russian aggression, confrontation of russia and it is here that we hear about the us about 10 years about its strengthening of cooperation in the production of weapons and equipment, this is very important, but it must be understood that it is not about guarantees, and it cannot in any way replace ukraine's membership

in nato, because the only security guarantee for ukraine is its nato membership. at the same time, it is clear that at the washington summit. we will not receive an invitation, it is important, and it is realistic, that the promotion of ukraine to nato is put on clear rails, this is exactly what the road map should be, concrete with concrete steps, specific dates, and this needs to be worked on, and a more general problem is still the lack of strategic clarity in the west, regarding the fact that this can and should end only with a deep military defeat of russia, everything else will have very bad consequences both for us and for our partners. you mentioned the guarantee, actually about them, i want to ask you further what guarantees this agreement with the usa can provide for ukraine in general, because president zelenskyi calls

it unprecedented, but what can count on ukraine, for example, in the event of a repeated or larger-scale attack by russia? well , unprecedented, we will call it, we will call it after we see it and there is a possibility of its proan zelenskyi, he wrote that, in principle, i push back from this, at the same time, we saw that... all the agreements that were signed, they were on the main issues absolutely within the framework defined by the statement of the big seven at the villeneuve summit, and i am sure that the american agreement on the main issues will be based on and will be within the framework defined by it statement in vilnius, that is, all agreements, they are in development for the implementation of agreements and statements. e statement that was made in vinnyus, and this must be understood, of course, you can

use different epithets, but you must understand that, in principle, this is unprecedented in the sense that this is a new level of cooperation in the field of security, but in this sense, you can with it agree, but it must be understood that this is still not an agreement on guarantees, mr. oleg, but at the same time, the prospects of this agreement are unclear? because from what the washington post writes, it turns out that it can actually be canceled the president-elect, if it's donald trump, knowing his skepticism about helping ukraine, he's unlikely to honor this deal, or do you think? well, come on, if everything i 've said so far has been realistic and perhaps, to many, it will seem pessimistic about the possibility of canceling the agreement, i would... i would be very careful, so of course, an agreement without ratification, well, as it is called,

the executive agreement is different from the ratified agreement, but there are mechanisms for canceling the ratified agreement, and in the same time certain decisions were made in the history of the united states, which in principle equalize this executive. e-e executive agreement to e agreement to the contract, i.e. e indicates that there is no fundamental difference between these two agreements, two types of e agreements, i.e. in general , e agreement e is executive - that is, it is politically binding, while the agreement... which is subject to ratification is legally binding, but i repeat again that it

is possible that a country can cancel its participation in that and the other document, or it will happen, unfortunately, we know , that trump has one inclination, but i think it's unlikely to happen, and politically it's probably going to be much more convenient for trump to just not honor the deal, i'd hate to see it happen, but it's... there's that risk, but overall, i 'll emphasize, i i do not think that he will go to the extent of canceling this agreement even if elected. thank you, it was oleh shamshur, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine and ambassador of ukraine to the united states in 2006-2010, and i encourage you to subscribe to radio liberty's social networks, leave a like under our release and write comments. svoboda live will return to the air tomorrow. see you there, there are discounts that represent unbreakable

congratulations, i ask for yours. help in finding this guy, his name is aurelio gonza. in this photo, he is with his mother, here they are happy and smiling. the family lived in the city of voznesensk, mykolaiv region. when this photo was taken, the boy was still studying at school, talking and hanging out with his friends, in short, living the usual carefree life of a teenager. however, in the summer of 2019, everything changed, the life of this family was divided into before and after. on august 17, 2019, aurelio went missing. that day he left the house for a walk and didn't come back, no... no messages, the guy just disappeared. at first, his parents assumed that he had decided to leave home, but to this day there is no news from him. when aurelio disappeared,

his mother turned to us for help. most of all, she wants to know at least something about her son, and although the search for him has been going on for more than four years, we still really hope that with your help we will be able to find the boy, or at least ... get at least some information about him. so don't be indifferent, please look carefully at the photo. a lot of time has passed since the disappearance, the guy has changed, of course, but note that aurelio is tall, about 180 cm, he has blond hair and brown eyes. of the special signs , there is a scar on the lower back after the operation. so, if possible, do you know where it might be? boy, please contact us on 11630. our hotline is open 24/7, so if you know anything about

aurelio gonsa, please let us know immediately. calls to the hotline of the child tracing service from all over the world mobile operators in ukraine, free. and although aurelio disappeared in 2019, we will, of course, continue to look for him, because we really do not lose hope. for more than 20 years... child tracing services have had such cases when a missing child was found after a year, three and even 10 years of searching. i have told you only one story of a missing child, in total we have received thousands of requests for help in the search just since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. now many children are disappearing in the frontline areas or in the occupation, quite a few boys and girls are deported to russia. but at the same time, children go missing for reasons unrelated to the war. these are usually teenagers who resort to running away from home. therefore, the child tracing service has prepared

a series of advice for parents from a psychologist about what you should do first of all to prevent a child from running away from home. let's listen. show respect for the child's personality, his personal space, and his belongings. often we do not notice how our children are older. and what was normal in behavior with the little one a child, absolutely unacceptable in behavior with a teenager, for example. we can't walk into a teenager's room without knocking, and we can't even walk into a bathroom when he's there. you can't rummage through his personal things without permission, you can't read his correspondence, it all violates his privacy, violates boundaries, makes him feel insecure and prompts him to run away, prompts him to seek safe places somewhere outside the home, but... do we necessary? therefore, please show respect for the personality of the child, for her personal space and to her belongings. this is very

important, and finally, as usual, i ask that you take just a few minutes of your time, go to the magnolia children's tracing service website, and look into the faces of these missing boys and girls. perhaps you will recognize someone, perhaps it is your indifference that can save. missing child and get them back to safety, so if you have any information about any of these children, please call our free of charge hotline on 11630. we've created a resource for you to report about any crime against a child. anywhere, anytime, just go to the site and let us know and we'll launch. all possible mechanisms of punishing the criminal. stopcrime ua.

the chas time program of the ukrainian voice of america service is broadcast from washington. i am yulia yarmolenko. congratulations. presidents joe biden and volodymyr zelenskyi. they signed a bilateral agreement on security cooperation between the united states and ukraine for 10 years. the ceremony took place in italy on the sidelines of the group of seven summit. earlier today, the president made a similar agreement zelensky signed with japanese prime minister fumio kishida. the new agreement between ukraine and the united states strengthens cooperation between the countries in the spheres of security and economy and confirms washington's commitment to long-term support for ukraine. however , the document does not specify the exact amount that the usa is willing to allocate annually to help ukraine. we will talk more about the new security agreements and other results of the first day of the g7 summit with our european correspondent bohdan tsyupin. hello, bohdan. greeting. bohdan, literally just now

the presidents signed. third-party agreement and went to prasa, what do we know about the details of this agreement, how did joe biden and volodymyr zelensky comment on the importance of its signing and implementation? well, volodymyr zelenskyi, the president of ukraine , said earlier today that this agreement with the united states is unprecedented, joe biden himself just on the occasion of its signing here in italy emphasized that it is about doing so. for ukraine to be able to defend itself, not only to defend itself, but also to deter aggression in the future, as well as achieve just and lasting peace. if we are talking specifically about the text of the document, then a few things caught my eye that i can single out, for example, the following provision: regular coordination no earlier than once a

year. on military and defense issues, including the development of the military-industrial base, it is about this, or, for example, here, to promote the exchange of intelligence, the us intends to promote the development of ukraine's intelligence agencies. it was also emphasized that defense cooperation or security cooperation between ukraine and the united states will take place in accordance with international laws, and regarding, again... peace, ending the war in ukraine, it is emphasized that a just peace is possible only on the basis of the full restoration of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of ukraine, in accordance with the un charter, in fact, if we take and compare these two security the agreements that were signed today in italy between ukraine usa and ukraine japan are actually very different, i would say, because while with...

the united states, the world's leading military power, nato's leading country, emphasizes military support, defense support of ukraine in the provision of weapons, data exchange and intelligence, the agreement with japan emphasizes that ukraine's security cooperation is based on the fact that japan is a demilitarized state, despite its large size. the amounts, for example, it's about $4.5 billion in aid from japan this year, it's primarily about, as it says, non-lethal aid, that is, it's not weapons, it 's definitely going to be equipment, equipment, etc., humanitarian aid, when it comes to the united states , then it is very clearly defensive, military, security assistance, support

to ukraine. bohdan, bilateral. their signing is definitely very important, but what about the other results of today, president biden just said that the leaders still managed to agree on the creation of a special fund to help ukraine at the expense of frozen russian assets, what is known about this initiative? yes, it was probably the leading, main news of the day, because let's not forget that the group of seven is primarily the leading financial ones. economic powers of the world, and when it comes to, say, the use of financial levers in the world for, say, to support the economy, or to get out of crises, or in this case to put pressure on the aggressor russia, then the agreement and joint activity of these countries is, of course , decisive, and today president biden ,

george maloney, hostess... the hostess of this meeting emphasized that yes, a political agreement was reached that russian frozen assets, frozen in western countries, should be used to help ukraine. it is emphasized that now there is no question of the confiscation of these russian assets, which amounting to approximately 300 billion dollars, it is about issuing a loan for... ukraine, which will be serviced at the expense of funds. a $50 billion loan by the end of this year, which will be serviced by the proceeds of these frozen assets, which will remain immobilized. this is how the representatives of great britain and germany talked about it here in italy today. we've had a very

productive set of meetings.
