i always wish that the average american voter would pay more attention to foreign policy, but it is very rare that this topic is among the top priorities, even in fourth or fifth place. obviously, there are several key issues, including the struggle for freedom in ukraine. jd vance has made it clear that he doesn't think this is an important fight for us and doesn't want us to put our efforts into it. so. the key issue is the fighting between israeli forces and hamas in gaza. it will be reported from this week even more efforts to try to secure a ceasefire, to release the hostages as part of the peace agreement. people are scared, they watch every day what is happening in ukraine, what is happening in gas. israelis are anxious and nervous, so of course that's part of the conversation. what's going on, you know,

everyone has different views and points of view: i'm for peace, i'm for israel's right to exist, but i, like many people, feel devastated by what's happening every day in the gas, the fire needs to stop, it needs to happen as soon as possible sooner, and we will never, never turn our backs on ukraine. thank you, ostap, for your work, ostap yarysh is working at the convention of the democratic party in chicago, let's continue. follow its progress together and we will inform you about the latest events. right now , republican presidential candidate donald trump is giving a speech on the economy to voters in york, pennsylvania. earlier on monday, his running mate , republican vice-presidential candidate jady vance, met with voters in philadelphia. wentz promised to restore america's economic power, bring back jobs and increase energy production in the u.s. he

criticized the current administration, particularly camelo harris, for its economic policies, including rising fuel, electricity and food prices. in addition, he blamed garis for her refusal to talk to the press. however, on monday , harris had the opportunity to answer questions from reporters on board the plane during the flight to chicago. runs away from zmi. an election campaign is like an extended job interview work this person is asking you for a promotion to the position of president of the united states, but she refuses to be interviewed, even with people who are incredibly friendly to her. should such a person be rewarded with a promotion? no, i don't think so, and if she's afraid to sit down and talk to a completely sympathetic and biased media, how can the american people trust her to meet with... a majority

of young voters, according to a number of polls , support kamela harris in this race, they're ready for her to vote from 50 to 62% of respondents for donald trump from 27 to 40%. however, this does not guarantee her victory in the elections, analysts say, because historically the turnout of young people at polling stations has been high. on the day of voting is low, whether it can change in november this year, tetyana voroshko investigated. young people are a growing group of voters in the us that could play a key role in the general election this november, and possibly even help elect the first female president in us history if they come to the polls. the reasons why young people are somewhat reluctant to come to the polling stations without a passport. related to theirs

disappointment with the way the current government works. young people feel very frustrated because they do not see change in their communities happening at the speed they would like. since vice president kamela hari became the democratic party's presidential candidate, there has been a noticeable shift in electoral sentiment. the numbers among young voters are remarkable, especially in terms of enthusiasm. we saw a 50 percent increase. number of young people intending to vote literally overnight. 19-year-old seles is one industry of those who feel energized by this change. i actually wasn't even planning to vote in the first place, but now that he 's out and kamalo is running, i'm more excited that we can enter a new world where we'll have a female president. i'm really excited about politics right now. such revival of mood led to a sharp increase in registration. new voters.

vot.org reported that more than 100,000 people registered to vote in the seven days after joe biden announced that out of the race. nearly 85% of those new registrations are voters between the ages of 18 and 34, but the gap between the candidates remains narrow, with about half of young voters, especially men, favoring former president donald trump, the republican nominee . a lot of them are generally unhappy with the us economy, so when the democrats talk about the record job growth , the huge number of jobs created by president biden, they're here... one of them, the way to get my support age group is talking to us, you can't campaign by talking about low taxes using an argument like, we just cut taxes, we need

a common policy, america comes first, we don't want any more wars or sending our money overseas , we want to leave them at home. disappointment is not the same as apathy. young people actually understand what is happening in politics. they care about what is happening. they simply do not see the changes they would like through their participation in the electoral process. but i i think the change that's happened over the last few weeks has definitely created a new trajectory. it is not known whether this trajectory will spread to the polling stations of the voting courts, but it is already obvious that young voters should not be ignored in... tatyana vorozhko, tina trinh, voice of america. ukraine once again calls on its partners to agree that the ukrainian army can use

western long-range weapons to strike targets on the territory of russia. in particular, these appeals are aimed at london, because the british provided ukraine with storm shadow cruise missiles. in the ministry of defense. great britain does not comment on exactly which weapons supplied by the british are being used by ukraine. but the spokesman of the ministry of defense emphasized that according to the un charter, ukraine has a full right to self-defense against an illegal attack by russia. and i quote: this does not exclude operations inside russia. earlier , the times, citing sources in the british government, reported that great britain could not allow ukraine to hit stormshadow targets on russian territory due to resistance from the united states. let's try to find out details with our european correspondent bohdan tsyupyn. he joins our studio from london. my greetings, bohdan. greeting. we heard last month that the new british prime minister keir starmer agreed with the right of ukraine to strike at

the aggressor everywhere. president zelensky even thanked for it. why is the issue still not resolved, bohdan. yes, actually almost at the beginning of july. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky wrote that he was delighted to read that keir starmer had supported the right of ukraine to strike targets on the territory of russia, on the territory of the aggressor's country, from where the strikes on ukraine are actually carried out, but it turns out that in reality there is a difference between political statements and when it comes to specific aspects of application. in particular, western weapons, because let's not forget, ukraine has been striking russia for a long time, and almost all western countries actually recognize that ukraine has the right to do so, in particular, representatives of this government and

previous governments have stated this more than once, but when it comes to nuances, when it comes to what exactly the weapons should be, or can be... whether it is about western weapons, in particular, for example, the cruise missiles that britain provides to storm shadow, on which objects, how deep, it turns out , that until now ukraine still has full, so to speak, freedom of action with the weapons it receives from western allies, this is the impression from the statements of ukrainian representatives, in particular president zelensky, that ukraine has full freedom. not yet bohdan, what other countries are involved in the decisions about how these weapons are used and why? yes, despite that, in particular, we have now started a conversation with what is being said about great britain and about

stormshadow missiles, cruise missiles. also, in the context of this question , france is also mentioned, because... the storm shadow missiles were jointly developed with france and in the french classification these missiles are called scalp, so in fact it is... a british-french missile, so these two countries , selling or supplying their arms as licensors, condition their use also, and also in connection with france and great britain, when it comes to on these particular cruise missiles, we also see mention of italy as well, it appears that italian manufacturers are also contributing... to the production of this missile, certain components of this missile, and the united states of america,

because again, no details are given, no what components are made public, where they are produced and in what quantities, what is involved, it is all largely secret, also secret, but it is hinted that the united states is also involved in some way when it comes to the launch of these missiles , about determining the goals of these missiles or about some other aspects, so we see that in fact this is an issue that affects the interests of, or requires not only political, but also technical solutions, from many countries of the west, from many nato countries. bohdan, another aspect, there are also hints from kyiv about delays or slow delivery of weapons. is britain or other countries reducing or slowing aid, particularly germany? yes, you know, when it comes to

helping ukraine, always in a situation where the country in this form is obviously ukraine fighting for survival, then until this war is finished, until the invaders are expelled from ukrainian land, no one will probably say that there are enough weapons or aid, or that they are too much, and... recently, in particular at the summit in switzerland, i asked zelensky whether ukraine really still suffers from delays and the lack of help, and he said that there is not enough help, it is not coming fast enough. now the ukrainians emphasize that with the increase in aid, with the permission to strike on russian territory, this would help change the course of the war, even so. as for the amount of aid, then the british... insist that they are keeping their promise to support ukraine, as it is now, at least 3 billion a year. as for

germany, we now have reports of complex consultations within the german government coalition and budget plans for the coming years. for the 24th year, more than 8 billion have actually already been allocated, and now the german government says that for the next year 2025 , the amount of more than 4 billion euros has already been used. the germans also claim that they are not reducing aid to ukraine. instead, they insist that the sources of such assistance there will be others, in particular russian assets in the west, but this issue has not yet been finally resolved, we will hopefully get details of how this will actually happen. thank you very much, bohdan, for your clarification, with us directly. the contact from london was bohdan tsyupin, we talked about ukraine's appeals to

international partners to lift all bans on strikes with western weapons against targets on the territory of the russian federation. russia is preparing a counteroffensive operation in the kursk region and is forced to transfer forces there from other fronts. this is stated in the latest report of the institute for the study of war. instead, the ukrainian forces block the russian ones, damaging the bridges over the seim river in kurshyn. russian media. more and more journalists, including western ones, are coming to see the district center in the korsk region captured by the armed forces. my colleague andriy borys also talked with an american political consultant and journalist who also visited korshchyna the other day. jason, you just returned from the kurdish region, which is now under the control of the ukrainian armed forces, i think you talked to the locals. what impression did they make on you? maybe in from talking to different people, it was

six, seven or eight, i noticed a few things: first, they were all over 65 or 70 years old, they seemed resentful that the russian government had not done anything for them, that putin had abandoned them . it is very important to note that the people we talked to were open and not afraid to talk to us. they did not go the other way when they saw. us, even when i was standing next to ukrainian soldiers, so if they were afraid of them, they would avoid them, or be more careful with what they said, but they were quite open to... relaxed as far as i could tell, they weren't afraid of anything. and what do they say about war and power? as far as i understand or interpret what i hear, they generally consider the war a mistake, it came to this because of putin's decision, they say. when i asked one, do you think putin forgot about you? he

said yes, but i can't say he ever really thought about us, he didn't care. what will happen to us, i believe that this shows the growth of discontent not only in the kursk region, but also finally territory of russia. putin's war is coming back and will have very damaging consequences for all of russia. jason, i think you understand ukrainian. i heard that the locals. two or three times when i approached people on the street, they either answered in ukrainian or offered to switch to ukrainian. they said that if you prefer ukrainian, then we could do it. the great irony for me was that the soldiers who accompanied us were russian-speaking, and here is a situation where people on the streets in russia speak exclusively in ukrainian, and ukrainian soldiers in russian. i thought it was really just incredible. and what does the court itself look like, is it

destroyed? birds that were occupied by russia, they were completely destroyed. suja, on the other hand, was not destroyed. many buildings sustained some damage, bullet holes in the walls, the city administration was heavily attacked, apart from maybe a few broken windows in a few buildings, the rest of the city looked fine. i didn't notice any destroyed civilian houses, i didn't see any signs that civilians were attacked. there are many reports that ukrainians have you seen confirmation of this, so to speak, on the ground? there are two things that i noticed when i approached the russian border: the ukrainian side is very well equipped, there are a lot of people working there, vehicles and everything is very well organized, on the russian side there was practically no defensive line,

it was very strange, it seems they did virtually nothing to prevent the invasion. which only confirmed that on the russian side there is corruption and embezzled aid funds, the ukrainians were able to break through with very, very little resistance. i'm guessing, given how well the execution is going, that ukraine has more tricks up its sleeves for the near future. i think that ukraine intends to stay there for a very long time and will do everything possible so that the russian side simply cannot return the region in the near future. u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken said the current gas ceasefire deal could be the last chance to secure the return of the hostages and an end to hostilities between hamas, which the u.s. designates as a terrorist organization. organization and israel. on monday, blinkin

met in tel aviv with israeli president isaac herzog in jerusalem with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. this is his. the ninth trip to the middle east since the start of the war between israel and hamas, aimed at strengthening us diplomatic efforts to end the war. details in the story of iryna shinkarenko. us secretary of state anthony blinken is making another visit to the middle east to renew efforts for a ceasefire in the war between israel and hamas. cessation of hostilities can take place in three stages - explains professor of national security from the university of new haven, howard stofer. the first step would be the withdrawal of israeli forces from key gaza areas for a cease -fire, followed by the exchange of some hostages, women, the elderly and the wounded, and the return of certain specified palestinian prisoners to hamas. the implementation of this plan may be

difficult - stofer notes. there may be disagreements about who can be released and the process of troop withdrawal. even from gaza is difficult because netanyahu, the prime minister of israel, has said that they want to ban gunmen from southern gaza from entering northern gaza. blinken's visit comes amid heightened tensions iran may still seek revenge for last month's assassination of hamas leader ismail haniyeh in tehran. successful peace talks could quell these sentiments. there is also a very high probability that hezbollah is independent, or it is a group of people. ezbela will retaliate against israel. if they do, it's war will spread much more throughout the region. the cessation of hostilities will allow the delivery of humanitarian aid in gas and carry out. vaccination against the growing threat of polio, palestine's health minister confirmed the first case of the disease on saturday, some palestinian mothers are worried. we

need the polio vaccine, we need medicine, proper sanitation, we want you to save us before it's too late, how long do we have to wait, do we have to wait until we see our children die and become paralyzed and then become helpless and unable to do anything for... in israel, relatives of hostages held by hamas are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for a ceasefire and the release of their loved ones. we have learned from past experience not to have too high expectations, because then if the agreement is not reached, the disappointment is so great and you fall so fast, so far, that it is very difficult to get back up again, but we still try to remain optimistic and hopeful. despite the fact that this week in cairo they plan to restore cease-fire negotiations mediated by the united states, qatar and egypt, israeli military operations do not stop.

on sunday, the palestinian authority said at least 28 people were killed in overnight gas attacks. the israeli military said it killed 20 militants in attacks overnight from saturday to sunday. on the eve of the expected meeting with blinken, benjamin netanyahu held a weekly meeting of the cabinet of ministers. during which he criticized hamas's approach to peace talks and reiterated his position that a strong military and diplomatic pressure is a way to secure the release of the israeli hostages. iryna shynkarenko, veronika baldaras and glesias, voice of america. you watched time time. i am natalia leonova. it's all good. there are discounts until independence day on motorex pills. 10% in psarynyk, bam and oskad pharmacies. in the august issue, krania magazine will tell about the return from captivity. how is ukraine looking for its own?

greetings to everyone on the espresso tv channel, my name is andrii smoliy, and we are starting our "new week" program. as a rule, there are two of us here, but khrystyna yatskiv should also be here today, so to speak, we switched places, and i will be in the studio, and she will definitely join us on skype from 21:15, and we will talk, discuss and analyze current events in the second part. and the events of this week, and now in the first part we will traditionally have experts, as i already predicted, but before that, of course, i will remind, or rather, i will start with our survey, and today it sounds as follows : do you hope that the government will provide the transparency of the reconstruction of ohmaddit, you can take yours absolutely free

phones or s... smartphones and vote yes or no, if you think yes, call 0800 211381, if you think no, call 0800 211 382. once again , all calls are completely free and at the end of the next hour we let's summarize and see what you think, and we'll start with... our first guest is ivan stopak, a military expert, a former employee of the security service of ukraine. mr. ivan, we are pleased to welcome you to the studio of the tv channel. thank you for the invitation. mr. ivan, of course, whatever you wanted to talk with you about the kurdish operation, about the actual creation of a buffer zone by ukraine on the territory of the occupying state. well, in particular,

according to ... state data, which were made public yesterday at the end of the day, the armed forces of ukraine took control of several more settlements, and also advanced in one more populated settlement, which is called olhivka. also, if we add one more piece of information, here on the map, by the way, our tv viewers can see, in fact, the armed forces of ukraine destroyed all three bridges across the river. what de facto allows this glushkiv district to be isolated, so to speak, and either squeeze out the occupiers from there, or take them into a tight ring. at the same time, he also informs, there is information that the occupier could build pontoon bridges for the evacuation of the armed forces of the russian

federation. well, if... we are talking about the kurdish operation in general, if we actually already have how many, almost two weeks of the operation on the territory of russia, as you currently assess, it is actually, as we say, the creation of a buffer zones for to make it impossible for russia to attack the territory of sumy oblast, or does it have some more far-sighted... strategic from a military point of view, so to speak, plans. come on, every time i talk about the kurdish, kurdish offensive operation, i always say this: for two weeks we are euphoric, we are happy, we are studying the geography of the kursk region, the seym river, what areas they have there, what bridges, it's all great , it's all great, but

we have a spoonful of tar. ukraine, where at the same time we are gradually losing territory every day, i just really want yours the respectable audience not only perceived from the point of view: "hey, hey, we are cutting down the russians here, but how about we go to the kurdish as, or something else, the russians are already standing almost close to the city of pokrovska, this is to understand that the hostilities there are not are suffocating, that is, i say this for balance, to understand how much the situation inspires on the one hand, on the other." sides is very, very difficult, and so to your question, i don't think we are talking about some kind of buffer zone there, because come on, modern weapons, modern ballistic missiles, well, they transform any zone, or rather, to be a buffer zone with modern ballistic weapons, then it should pass somewhere conditionally in the area of ​​the second garden ring in moscow, ugh, this is for understanding, because 500 km iskander tactical complexes are not at all.. .
