conflict, instead, india is ready to take any steps to help end this conflict, as they call russia's war against ukraine, and when this visit was being prepared during the briefing at the indian foreign ministry on the eve of the visit, it was said that it would be more about bilateral relations, discussion of various perspectives in the fields of cooperation, which are completely different from cultures. them to cooperation in the military-technical field of vts, but jere shankar said today that in fact most of the visit, the talks are a little they even dragged on, took more time than planned, related to the discussion of india's capabilities, but to the journalists' question, did he bring some proposals from putin, as many wrote before, after such a quid pro quo by bloomberg. jai shankar diplomatically did not answer

clearly, but this is in the style of completely indian diplomacy, he said that india will use any opportunity and that it is already involved in the negotiation process, and finally from him today we heard openly about what we already knew, in principle, but this was not officially confirmed, namely, that india is already actively participating in the negotiations, using these opportunities, its neutrality and good relations with russia and ukraine, in areas such as nuclear security, food security, in particular, je shankar today confirmed that in the 22nd year, india was involved in the negotiations on the zaporizhzhya nuclear plant, as well as on the black sea grain initiative. humanitarian issues are being discussed very actively. we know that india has given us 16 aid packages, today jesh ancarze. about the 17th

aid package, and in fact these issues concerning the return of ukrainian children, such very sensitive issues, especially after this terrible visit to moscow and the attack on okhmedyt, they were also the focus of the negotiations. je shankar confirmed that india, which, as we know, participated in absolutely all meetings to discuss the peace formula, is going to continue its activity, is very positive about holding the second peace summit, but again , to specify, he i did not know which ones exactly points from this formula can be added to those that are already, so to speak, in the works, that is, it is precisely ecology, nuclear safety, food safety, demining, we know that india today also confirmed its readiness to ... in the reconstruction of ukraine after the war ,

there is a lot of interest in this, but there are those who, you know, ask if india has the same plan as china, there is not, and actually, well, i think it's for the best, because we don't need there are some such plans that do not take into account our interests, in which there are no for example, the clause on the territorial integrity of ukraine, then, as today, it was confirmed that it is mandatory, that peace must be achieved. under the conditions of real justice and the norms of international law, well , one really gets the impression that india, in particular from the statements that were made, is in favor of the ukrainian peace formula, but perhaps not all of its points, what did you say about what is being said about nuclear safety and also about respect for territorial integrity, let's talk about what, in particular, in kyiv, the ukrainian side brought up the topic of india's purchase of land. of russian

oil, this is one of the issues that is often heard in the context of india, and india has now overtaken even china in terms of the volume of this import from russia. how does this fit into this logic of friendship between kyiv and delhi, as naren ramodi himself stated that he is a friend here? yes, this is an issue that was also raised in the press conference today, and indeed we know that it was discussed, jesh ankar said that... the indian side gave their explanations uh and verbatim almost he said that the purchase of oil from russia is not a political issue, the purchase of oil is an oil issue, that is, an economic issue, and india is dependent on the import of energy carriers, it does not have its own oil, it does not violate sanctions, that is, it does not buy oil beyond the ceiling that is set, in addition to... something about this

is constantly being forgotten, but in fact india buys a lot of russian oil and it is all paid in indian zhrupia, that is, again , it does not... violates the rules and russia does not receive currency, yes , does not receive dollars, because there were various options, yuan was discussed, but here india is no longer making any concessions, of course, that is, these rupees are actually still lying in indian banks and working for the indian economy, during the last negotiations during the last year , several of them were different, in including the visit of not only modi, but jai shanker to moscow in the past. year, the indian side openly offered to use these hands and invest them in indian projects, in particular during, or rather within the framework of the make in india program, where india attracts various foreign investments, that is, russia was offered in

the same group to leave it to india to invest in the further development of the indian economy, or to barter indian goods in order to... this imbalance, do i understand correctly that in this way russia cannot continue to finance its war directly, or can it be done in some other way, that is exactly the fact that it is bought with indian currency, that 's right, that's right, thank you very much, unfortunately, we didn't have much time to discuss, but the issue of india and its role in regulating the war between ukraine and russia, it will continue to appear, and we are returning to this topic, we were contacted by olena bordilovska, head of the department of new challenges of the national institute. strategic studies, and today ukraine celebrates the flag day, and tomorrow , august 24, is the day of independence, and ukrainians began to appreciate this holiday more - sociologists say. according to a survey conducted by the kmis, 64% of ukrainians now consider

independence day to be the most important holiday. in 2013 , before the maidan, there were only 12% of such people. now, say sociologists for... independence day is inferior only to christmas and easter. ukraine declared its independence on august 24, 1991 after the unsuccessful rebellion of the communist party of ukraine in moscow. on december 1 of the same year , independence was supported in the all-ukrainian referendum with a result of over 90%. we will remind you how this voting took place for the act of proclamation of state independence of ukraine by the verkhovna rada in august 1991. i was told that in the yard there is the flag with which the ukrainians stood on the barricades near the verkhovna rada of russia, and

we will raise the red viburnum, and we... let's cheer up our glorious ukraine, hey. well, now we have the opportunity to talk with one of the deputies of the verkhovna rada, who voted for the independence of ukraine 33 years ago. contact us. taras tetskyv, public politician, people's deputy of ukraine for five convocations, convocations and including the first. i congratulate you. congratulations. well, more often, when they now talk about gaining ukrainian independence, or as they say, restoration. independence, then they will discuss how ukrainians managed not to fade away that historical moment, defeating moscow peacefully, gaining independence, but let's talk in today's context about what was not done then, that is what this evil joke was probably played against ukraine, were there any mistakes then, for example,

and what at that time, ukraine did not take control of the black sea fleet of the ussr, which in fact later became the fleet of russia, and then because of this , the russian occupation and annexation of crimea became possible. why then, let's say, maybe they didn't think about it or thought about it, but couldn't do it? well, first of all, there were mistakes then, of course, simply, there was simply much more gain. and if we talk about the day itself, august 24, then we simply very successfully used the window of opportunity that arose in connection with the failure, or with ourselves. i just want to say, if there had not been this window of opportunity, we would have found another window of opportunity, and such in 1990. in the first year , more than one would have been created, eh, why didn’t we take control of the black sea fleet, well, you just have to understand that at the time of ukraine's declaration of independence, supporters of this in the parliament independence there were 125 people out of 450, in

ukrainian society 25-26% were active supporters, and only the referendum that took place three months later... after that , the mood of the population changed dramatically, as a large part of the population with a neutral attitude moved to the camp of supporters of independence. and it was necessary to immediately understand that 3 days after we declared independence, a delegation led by rudsky burbulis and the then mayor of st. petersburg sobchak arrived in ukraine . to proclaim, and we remember the statement of voshchanov, yeltsin's press secretary, who said that russia would agree to the independence of ukraine only if it maintained allied relations with... russia, and when in 1992 the question of dividing the black sea fleet arose,

as well as transfer of ukraine's nuclear weapons, then ukraine received not only pressure from russia, but also pressure from the west, since there was no option at all, i just have to hear that ukraine allegedly had no option not to give nuclear weapons to russia, and that there was no alternative i don't know if it's complete isolation is international, or it really is, let 's say. yes, it was possible to give it up gradually, as you know, the sho-1 treaty was signed a month before the collapse of the soviet union in july 1991, and when the union collapsed, the soviet republics that possessed nuclear weapons, russia, kazakhstan, ukraine, belarus , signed that they join this treaty as nuclear-free states, and according to this treaty, 36... nuclear warheads and 42% of nuclear carriers had to be reduced, so

ukraine had to reduce them according to this treaty, no more and no less , therefore such we had a chance, we had a chance to drag out the transfer of nuclear weapons, this was the first chance, and the second chance was not to transfer these weapons nuclear to russia, but to agree with the united states of america and transfer these nuclear warheads to them for disposal in exchange for... nuclear fuel for our nuclear power plants, however , the leadership of ukraine at that time, first kravchuk, and then kuchma, decided to choose the russian vector of nuclear weapons transfer, in return for which we received some money, some nuclear fuel for our plants, but we can see what this led to , and whether the possibility of exchanging nuclear weapons for a security umbrella as nato membership was then discussed, or was that not the case at all... unfortunately, at that time there were few supporters of such a point of view, only a few, as in

the ukrainian parliament, unfortunately, i have to admit, yes and in the ukrainian government. of course, from the height of today's front, it was possible to exchange the return of nuclear weapons in exchange for joining nato, but then in 1992 and 1993 there were such voices that advocated this. among ukrainian diplomats, politicians, government officials, you could count on fingers of one hand. thank you very much, we were contacted by taras tetskyv, a public political figure, a people's deputy of ukraine for five convocations and a people's deputy of ukraine who actually did not declare ukrainian independence. this is where svoboda life comes to an end. i want to thank you for watching our broadcast, and i want to encourage you to like this broadcast if you... watch us on youtube, and also subscribe to radio svoboda's pages on social networks, we are on all social networks, so

policy of kamela garis regarding ukraine, we will talk with ostap yarysh, who works in chicago. i congratulate you ostap. so, how did garis appear to millions of voters during her speech and what are the key points of her policy now? i congratulate maria, i congratulate ours. indeed, it was, it was the main task of kamela garis to tell more about herself, about how she formed her personality, and what actually led to her political career, kamela garis spoke a lot about her roles and achievements as a prosecutor in california, later, we remember she was a senator, now she is a vice president and a candidate for president of the united states, who told malagari about her personal story, about how she grew up with a single mother. and in an underprivileged area in california, and the fact that she can understand the challenges that the american middle class is facing right now, we heard her speak, of course, she talked

a lot about how she would see her policies as president, did not focus much on achievements in the role vice president, and this is one of the criticisms, one of the criticisms of the republicans now towards kamela garis, they say that she talks about the future, but does not... talks about achievements in her position. kamal harris, in this speech, maria spoke a lot about the reproductive rights of women, about the protection of middle-class americans, about the fact that she understands them, she also spoke and opposed herself and her policy to donald trump, they tried to create a positive image from the stage and charge the democrats with it , also drew attention to the issue of foreign affairs politics and the global challenges of the united states and us global leadership. we heard about it yesterday too, maria. ostape, regarding foreign policy issues, our viewers are undoubtedly interested in the topic of ukraine. we heard many, some statements about ukraine at

this congress. do we know what garis' policy on ukraine will be, will it differ from the policy of the biden administration, of which it is a part? maria was certainly waiting impatiently in ukraine to see if kakala garis would say something about ukraine. will remember, she will remember about it in her speech, and indeed yesterday we heard these words of support from her, not only she, by the way, mentioned yesterday from the stage, she spoke about ukraine and about the importance of supporting the ukrainian people and opposing putin, senators zaryzona markeli, spoke about it, in particular, the former minister of defense , leon paneta, but kamela garis also asked, she said that in the position of president, if he is accepted, she will continue to support ukraine, oppose putin, let's listen to these words. i will make sure that we lead the world into the future of space and man-made

intelligence, so that america... china wins the 21st century race, and that we strengthen, not surrender, our global leadership. on the other hand, trump threatened to withdraw from nato. he encouraged putin to invade our allies. he said that russia can, i quote, do whatever it wants. 5 days before russia invaded ukraine, i met with president zelensky to warn him about the russian invasion plan. i helped mobilize a world response, a response from more than 50 countries. to protect against putin's aggression, and how president, i will support ukraine and our nato allies. maria, and we heard this reaction in the hall, i was actually in the arena when kamela garis announced this speech and met these words about ukraine, the audience in the stadium, in fact, standing with loud applause, however, there is another opinion, and i reacted to

this statement , in particular donald trump, on... to kamela garis about ukraine, he says on the contrary that kamela garis was in europe a few days before the full-scale invasion of russia, but was unable to convey a serious message, and because actually the absence of this message, they say that putin invaded ukraine, donald trump said this and once again emphasized that if he were the president this full-scale war would never have happened, because putin respected the military leader, and he does not seem to respect kamelo garis, this we heard the message from the company. republicans about the policy of kamelia as a potential president, this is also an important question, and many are really interested, whether it will be different from joe biden's policy, whether this policy will be decisive, we know that there are critics of the office the administration, and kamela garis, you rightly emphasized, are a part of it, are criticized for insufficiently active support of ukraine, for insufficiently fast support and insufficient amounts of aid that go to the armed

forces of ukraine, that's the question. if kamela garis is elected, will he go a different way and be able to increase this support, or will he continue the course of the biden administration, about this, in particular, the voice of america was told by professor kimmage, he is a professor of history at the catholic university in the united states, let's listen to his assessment of this. i don't think so there is no indication that its policies will differ significantly from the status quo. at this point, the only thing that might change is that after the election, if she wins, she'll probably have a year or two where she'll have more freedom than she did during the campaign, so i do n't think the changes will be in the field. military aid to ukraine, maybe there will be changes in american economic policy and maybe the position towards russia will become tougher, but these will be minor changes. i think overall you will see continued consistent support.

i... i think that when it comes to aid to ukraine, it's important to understand the simple fact that in the last year or two, support has been at a high level, and congress and the american political system don't anticipate much higher levels of support, so i think that with ukraine's point of view is worth planning for, given the fact that this is the base level of support and it will not increase significantly, and that the support that exists today may actually weaken and there is no guarantee. that congress will approve another funding request. thank you ostap. i will remind you that our colleague ostap, yarush has been working the democratic convention in chicago all this week. thank you ostap for your work. and to the news in ukraine. this week , the ukrainian parliament passed a law banning religious organizations that

maintain ties with moscow. after the law comes into force, the community of the ukrainian orthodox church, known as the moscow patriarchate, will have nine months to sever ties with the russian orthodox church, but the decision presents ukraine with a dilemma between protecting domestic security and potential criticism of freedom of religion. we are talking about this topic with my colleague tetyana vorozhko, who researched it. i congratulate you, tanya. greetings maria. so you talked to a lot of experts here in the united states? what is the reaction to this decision and what is the criticism? well, yes, indeed , there is criticism, first of all, i think that the most important position here is the us commission on international religious freedom, it is a state institution that is responsible for checking possible violations and reporting around the world and prepares recommendations, reports for congress and the state department, and actually the response that they sent to the voice of america, it says that the final version of this bill does not eliminate the previous concerns of this commission, actually you'.
