effect on the interests of russia, in particular, regarding the issues of the ongoing war in ukraine. oleksiy, did the us attorney general talk about the political and legal consequences of such an attempt to interfere in the us elections. yeah, actually, it was a pretty big statement, and the other part of that statement was that the department of justice was seizing 32 internet domains that were associated with the russian government and entities that are in... close to the kremlin, and that's exactly what meric garland said that these internet domains, they were in one way or another disinformation network to spread dissension and disinformation among the population in the run-up to the elections, and we also know that not only arti was sanctioned, but also subsidiaries of this media group, such as tv news arti,

raptli and sputnik. and with regard to responsibility, we also had the opportunity to hear in the state department about efforts that are separate from the ministry of justice, which the state department is engaged in, and a new policy is being introduced and implemented to limit visas to certain persons who are classmates of these efforts thank you oleksiy, we will definitely follow up. on this topic, i would like to remind you that the most operative statements from the united states, which today accuse russia for the second time of trying to interfere in the us elections, were told to us by oleksiy kovalenko. the united states has long known that moscow uses a wide range of tools, including malicious influence campaigns and cyber activity, to undermine the interests of the united states, its democratic institutions, and the interests of its allies. this was stated by the spokesman of the state department matthew at the briefing miller. today, together with the minister. we

are exposing the kremlin's latest actions aimed at undermining our democratic institutions, he said, singling out the activities of the so -called rasha tude media organization, which contracted a private company to pay millions of dollars to spread kremlin narratives about influencing us elections and undermining democracy among americans. meanwhile, in ukraine, seven people were killed in lviv as a result of another mass air attack by russia. among them is one child and 64 people were injured. journalist omolyan oshchudlyak told about what is happening at the site of the russian attack in lviv, and what is known about the family that died in their native area. i am now on konovaltsia street, it is actually one of the epicenters where there is some of the biggest destruction, you can see a house behind me, you can see what is left of its roof, and behind this house there is also a deeper yard, and there is even more destruction .

we see many emergency workers on site, the rescue operation itself has already ended, there were 12 people rescued from the rubble in general, not only here, but in lviv in general, unfortunately, seven people died, more than 60 people were hospitalized, among them there are children from five to 15 years old, and one boy even underwent an operation, which is now. .. is happening here, restoration work continues, garbage is removed, this will continue here for many more weeks, and in general i want to say that i am standing in my native area, and emotionally it is a little difficult, i was born and grew up two streets from here, and this is a neighborhood that i know very well when you come here and you see people you were in the same... class with at school, or who you

just know, and they tell you what they've been through, it's very, very hard to accept, darling, what is known about a family that is virtually all died from this attack, these are photos that broke hearts all over ukraine and all over the world, probably this is the bazilevich family, this is what this photo shows. a father with his wife and three daughters, his wife and three daughters, unfortunately, died, she is really talked about by the media of the whole world, and the eldest daughter, 21-year-old yaryna was an employee of the city council office, she was preparing the lviv youth capital of europe 2025 project, she was a project manager, her slightly younger 18-year-old sister , daryna, was a student. of the ukrainian

catholic university, she studied cultural studies, was also a member of the plastun organization, the plast scout organization, as was the youngest girl, emilia, who was only seven years old. she was also a platoon, and if you look at the memoirs about them, a lot of postans write their memoirs, a lot people from the environment of the catholic university sympathize with the father, and well, this is an incredible tragedy, it is difficult to describe in words and difficult to understand, after this blow international. viewers condemned yet another russian war crime and once again called to allow ukraine to retaliate. meanwhile, on tuesday, my colleague carla babb asked pentagon spokesperson pat ryder whether the us knew the origin of the ballistic missiles that russia fired at poltava the day before, and whether this horrific shelling would affect

the united states' decision to limit strikes. with long-range weapons on the territory of vglyp of russia. however, the pentagon says that the us policy has not changed yet. regarding the russian ballistic missiles that hit the military communications institute in poltava, does the pentagon know where those missiles came from, and has this attack changed the decision-making process here at the pentagon about potentially allowing the ukrainians to use attacks to target missile sites in russia? i don't have any information as to the origin of these missiles, other than you on the ... saying that these are russian missile attacks, and again, that's just shows the brutality of these attacks, particularly on civilian infrastructure, and as we get closer to the ground, russia is targeting infrastructure, energy infrastructure, which will be vital as ukraine gets colder. we have been working very hard

for a very long time to continue working with the international community to ensure ukraine's air defense capabilities, and we will continue to do so. to do, as to our policy on long-range strikes, i have had no reports of any change in policy. just now, my colleague yulia yarmolenko asked the same question at a white house briefing, to which white house official john kirby replied to her that this argument is not appropriate, since russia has already moved 90% of its aircraft, which it uses to carry out these strikes on ukraine for within the limits of the three-kilometer zone of influence. journalist. voice of america will continue to ask these questions of american officials. i would like to remind you that after many months and calls for the us to change its policy, the united states continues to believe that the use of american weapons on the territory of the russian federation may cause an escalation of the russian war against ukraine. however, the risk of this escalation is

an illusion, according to former us national security council official oleksandr windman. he worked in the white house during the trump era. however, he now criticizes the policy of the former president. at the same time, windman wants to see more. decisive actions to support ukraine from the democratic party. what is needed for this, he told ostap yarysh in an interview. this formula consists in the iron support of the west , led by the united states. during the build-up period support to ukraine, ukraine has to do some things on its own. it needs to mobilize more personnel. she must make sure that this personnel. prepared to defend the ukrainian people, also the ukrainian industry could produce additional military material, it is necessary to expand the direction of drones, but the west should provide more weapons. brigade sets, a large number of weapons. and ultimately, it's a matter of proper preparation. we

see examples of extraordinary competence. think about what is happening now in kursk. ukrainians show an extremely good result. superior. all expectations, we need to spread that capability across the force, through training, command and personnel, through greater investment. as a result, in the summer of next year , ukraine will have an extremely good opportunity for a large-scale offensive, certain gains and maximum pressure on putin. together with the tailwind of western support, this is a formula and recipe for peace. you mentioned the operation of ukraine in kursk, or do you consider it successful? i tend to be a little cautious here. commonly accepted logic states that ukraine should have kept manpower for defense, to protect vulnerable areas in

the southeast. but the reality is that if the kurdish operation pulls forces from the entire battlefield to force putin to defend not only kursk, but also bryan. and bilhorod, that would mean that the ukrainian military would have a better chance, a better balance of power, to hold and liberate territory in ukraine, and that's a recipe for success, so if... that happens, it will be a very, very good operation, but it's too early to tell. what we hear a lot from this administration is the word escalation, that they are concerned about the risk that this could become a bigger problem, from a national security perspective, how do you explain that? this is a momentary reflexive reaction to the prospects of a catastrophic situation, which would be a war between. russia and the united states. in a conventional war , russia would be destroyed by nato forces, but it

would very quickly escalate into a nuclear war. and we fear that we will get involved in a conflict that will destroy the world. but in fact, putin is also this knows he is mortally afraid of a confrontation with nato, and therefore will do everything to avoid it. so, the risk of escalation is a mirage, it does not exist. putin does not want to go to war with the west. he does not want a nuclear war that will end him, him. family, his regime, everything he holds dear, he will avoid it at all costs, so the fear of escalation is an illusion. meanwhile, according to american media, the us is close to providing ukraine with long-range cruise missiles, jesom. these missiles could reach targets deep in russia if washington will change its policy. according to media interlocutors, these may already be included in the arms package for kyiv. this fall, but there is no official decision on this yet. we will talk more about this new

weapon with maria prus, who researched this topic. congratulations, maria. congratulations. so what are these missiles and can they make a difference on the battlefield? so maria, jason's rockets are relatively new in comparison, they were developed in the 2000s. the ukrainian army now has other weapons, other american weapons in their arsenals, such as ... missiles, with a range of about 400 km and about newer technologies, and there are two modifications of these 800 km, and it is assumed that, after all , in the event of a positive decision by the white house, ukraine will be provided with an older modification with a smaller range . the experts with whom i had the opportunity today... to speak believe that these missiles are very accurate, very powerful, so they

are generally very favorable to the idea that the ukrainian aviation could receive these missile weapons, they can be carried by f-16s, which are already in use by the air force of ukraine, due to the fact that the f-16 is a platform that has already used these missiles, in addition to other american ones. chuvachev, and american experts compare these jasms missiles from storm shadow with scalp and taurus, they say that this is approximately one class, one type, one idea of ​​weapons, and it would really help the armed forces of ukraine to repel russian strategic targets, military objects away from the border, which will complicate the logistics of the russian troops. however, it is not, as they say, a silver bullet or a wunterva, as they say in

ukraine, that is, it is not a superweapon, which, of course, will solve all issues. i suggest you listen to what retired us air force colonel jeffrey fisher told me in a comment. jesm is a long-range air- based cruise missile, it is very similar to the stormshadow scalp. a question that i think is important to understand is that there are many jessams in the world or in the united states. this is not a weapon that exists in limited quantities. another thing is that it is already compatible with the aircraft that ukraine has, and this is obviously the f-16. so there is no need to work on compatibility issues with the mig-29 or su-27 or su-25. there will be no problems with this in ukraine. once it's in theater , it can be easily deployed. obviously, some training is needed. tactics, techniques, and order of use, but you know, i 'm warning anyone who thinks this could become

a superweapon, i don't agree with the wunderwafen concept at all, a superweapon, but i will say that it's not a matter of quality, it's a matter of quantity, and it was always for ukraine. the ukrainians really need a lot more f-16s, they need a lot more fighters, a lot more weapons, a lot more ammo, and even if they get the right... cool guns, they don't get enough of them. in addition, there are political constraints that washington imposes on the issue of deep strikes against russia. maria, you said that these missiles can hit up to 800 km deep into russian territory, and that addresses the concerns of john kirby, who we were just talking about, tell me, does this indicate that washington is preparing to potentially change its policy on deep strikes . maria, very valid question, because really

the audience's attention is focused on this question, because they say, why provide ukraine with potentially such weapons. if it cannot be used to its full potential, but it is worth noting that at the briefing at the pentagon, which you already talked about earlier in the program, petrai, the spokesperson of the pentagon did not confirm or deny the information that the pentagon is considering the transfer of these missiles to kyiv, however, experts are debating what that means, or whether it means changes in white house policy on the possibility of strikes. american weapons in the depths of russia, i suggest hear what retired us air force general charles corcuron told me on the subject. regarding the jesems, i think it's very encouraging to hear that the biden administration is considering providing them to ukraine. i think the sooner the better. but, as you and i

have discussed in our previous conversations, it will not matter at all if with'. ukraine will not be removed from certain shackles to allow it to use all the capabilities of the missile. this is a long-range, extremely accurate, extremely powerful weapon that can be very useful for ukraine the task of striking at russia's military capabilities inside russia, but if politics prevents them from fully using missiles, then they will not matter much, so i hope that they get the political solutions necessary to use these weapons to the full. i think it's an encouraging sign that the administration is considering giving these weapons to ukraine, i hope that means they 're going to let them use it to the full as well, because i don't think it would make sense to give them weapons a long range that they will not be able to use. we can provide short range weapons that are much cheaper

if we are not going to allow them to be fired at long ranges. thank you maria for your work, me too. i encourage our viewers to read more analytical materials by maria prus about american jason missiles on the website of the voice of america in ukraine. meanwhile, moscow accuses europe of theft by using frozen russian assets to fund ukraine's defense. at the same time , the group of seven countries also plan to introduce similar scheme. however, there are still fears that these steps may force some countries to reduce their own bilateral financing of ukraine. these warnings have appeared. in particular, after germany said that it may end bilateral military aid to kyiv after 2025. shot! the european union said on friday that it has given ukraine about $48 billion in military aid since russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. since may, the eu has also started to use

the profits from the confiscations to help ukraine russian assets worth $300 billion. we have mobilized the first tranche of surplus profits from russian frozen assets, it is 1.4 billion euros, part of it will go directly to ukraine to raise the ukrainian defense industry, by march we will have the second tranche of surplus profits. moscow called the transfer of profits from its frozen assets theft and warned the eu of legal consequences. in june, the countries of the group of seven will also ... use frozen ukraine, but the details of this are still being worked out. billions of dollars in military aid russian assets to finance a loan in 50 meanwhile, germany said the use of frozen russian assets could replace bilateral military aid to ukraine from berlin from 2026, as the country tries to reduce its

$13 billion budget deficit. germany is the second largest bilateral donor to ukraine after the usa. the political signal this sends is devastating. the largest donor in europe, germany suddenly stops supporting ukraine. the idea behind the seven group tool was to to convey to vladimir putin that it makes no sense for him to wait for the event, that one should not hope that at some point the event will stop supporting. and therefore now it is a controversial sign. another financial source, funding from ukraine, has just been involved. is suddenly cut from the budget. chancellor olaf scholz recently insisted that germany would continue to support kyiv as long as necessary. meanwhile , calls to lift restrictions are growing in the european union. on ukraine's use of long-range missiles to hit objects in russia. mary ulyanovska, henry ridgewell, voice of america.

the us presidential election is two months away. candidates donald trump and kamela harris are preparing for the debate, which is scheduled for september 10. we at voice of america will broadcast these debates. and this will be the first personal meeting. harris and trump, and it is expected that they will pay special attention to the economic issues that are key for voters in this year's presidential race. details from iryna shinkarenko. donald trump is campaigning hard on the economy and kamala garis. here's what we know about comrade kamala harris. she just doesn't care about the american people, especially hard working people or middle class americans, and she just doesn't give a damn. agaris says it is trump who will hurt working families by cutting taxes for corporations. building the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.

the economy is a top issue for voters this year, an issue that garis needs to address quickly, says political consultant geng scheinkopf. she has to explain why people are on their side. the opinion is overpaid at the gas station, why their bread is worth what it is and why are the producers of these products giving them less for their dollar? jaydy vance says a vote for harris means losing more us jobs. think of all the circles of influence, the broken bureaucracy in this country, the people who got rich by transferring your jobs to china. they want to elect kamela garis. the only way to defeat them and the only way to fight back is at the ballot box in november. have something else in mind, the only thing these guys know about

working people, how to use them, how not to pay them, at every opportunity they waged war against the workers. most opinion polls show harris with a narrow lead over trump nationally, with michigan voter david martinez supporting trump overall. he is a true american patriot, it seems to me that he thinks more about the people who live in this country than about himself. all he does is try to help someone. voter from georgia beka raj supports garis. you know, it's 2024 for us fresh energy and a new bright future are needed. trump and harris will spend much of the following campaigning. preparing for his first presidential debate, scheduled for september 10. iryna shynkarenko, scott stearns, voice of america. download
