campaign against the leaders of rush today, against hackers, they may have such a certain limited effect and they will not be able to stop really russian influence, russian disinformation, let's say, stop russian interference in the election, but nevertheless, experts say, all these steps today, and previous steps, and such steps that will be taken, perhaps today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, they will have a cumulative effect, let's say, first of all, this is an information certificate, let's say, it is explained to the americans, that you need to look more carefully about what they read, what they listen to, whether this content is really created by independent journalists or propagandists, or whether this content comes from the kremlin, that is, be more careful, secondly, there are certain punitive sanctions, punishments, that is, it becomes more expensive and difficult to make this disinformation , and as one expert said, it's possible in the future it will still have a significant effect,

it creates certain problems, and actually creating, doing this even more, that is , blocking more resources, blocking and making this work more difficult, more expensive for these agents, it makes their work more difficult and will most likely help reduce their profits to zero little by little, dear, how different is this company from russia? from the previous ones, because we know that this is far from the first time that russia has tried to interfere in the political processes of the united states, especially on the eve of the elections. well, what we hear from both government officials and experts point to the following three main differences. and firstly, that it is becoming more technically and complex, first of all, due to the use of artificial intelligence, it becomes more difficult to fight it by technical means. secondly, we see that, although russia remains the main player, and this role is emphasized by american government officials,

china and iran are no less added, and these measures, in fact, should send a signal not only to russia, but also to other countries, that there is no need to interfere in the american elections, that there will be certain measures, certain, certain punishment. and thirdly, we already see such, you know, a new, possibly trend, that trolls, bots, that content that is produced specifically in russia or by some of them, their companies and in other countries, it may already have less effect, and we see that the russians... are trying to work directly with americans, american influencers, influential persons, realizing that the american people trust them much more. very interesting, tanya, thank you for this explanation, tatyana vorushko was in touch with us. us secretary of state anthony blinken held a telephone conversation with the former minister of foreign affairs of ukraine dmytro kuleba. the message of the state department states that antoni blinken expressed his gratitude dmytro koleba for close partnership and leadership of ukraine's foreign policy during the historical period. challenges and confirmed the support of

the united states to the people of ukraine. let me remind you that earlier the verkhovna rada approved the resignation of dmytro kuleba and appointed and supported the appointment of andrii sebia as the new minister of foreign affairs. the idea that ukraine, with the help of atakams missiles, will be able to hit most of the aircraft from where russia makes its strikes, is wrong. yes, white house communications adviser john kirby answered the question of our correspondent yulia yarmolenko about whether it is possible to change the policy of the united states regarding. murderous strikes deep into russia, taking into account the next attacks on ukrainian cities. he also commented on whether the russian disinformation campaign could have influenced the delay in approving aid to ukraine in congress. let's listen. john, do you see any possible connection between russia's attempts to undermine ukraine's support for this operation and the six-month delay in congressional approval of aid as it was earlier this year. and

if we can continue talking about ukraine, russia hit lviv with ballistic missiles. this is a western city, seven people were killed, among them a seven-year-old girl. poltava was the day before. this is a central-eastern ukrainian city. how is it possible that russia continues to kill ukrainians and kill ukrainians even far from the front line, when ukrainians are not allowed to use the weapons provided to hit military targets inside russia. where are these attacks coming from? regarding your first question, i can't point to a connection between arti's covert action and the delay additional funding, you should talk to the members of congress, particularly the republican side, who have delayed it, and they can talk about their reasons why they did it, and for these six months, because you want to talk about what's happening in ukraine today, in those six months, russia made gains, russia... gained ground, they captured

territory, they killed more ukrainians, and they really stood up to the ukrainian forces, because they had no weapons to fight back, it was a difficult six months and.. . and it rejected ukraine back. as for what is happening now, we condemned it yesterday and we condemn it today. what putin is doing is hitting civilian infrastructure, trying, especially on the eve of winter, to disable energy systems. it's disgusting. unfortunately, this is his method, it's not something new that he hasn't done before, nothing has changed in our position on ukraine, that ukraine should be able to use the... tools to defend itself, and that's why the air defense continues to be an important topic in these security packages that we provide so that they can help defend against these attacks on their energy infrastructure. but the ukrainians claim that they are just striking deep into

russia, from where are they carrying out these attacks? yes, i was leading up to it, i was going to say it. i tell you that in our policy regarding strikes deep into russia. and on the territory of russia , nothing has changed. i also think it's important to note, if possible, that 90% of the aircraft that russia uses for guided air bombs and long-range missile strikes, we estimate that is, 90% of them are located beyond 300 km from the ukrainian border, deep inside russia. so the statement, they say, we'll just give them atakams and say okay, and they'll be able to hit the majority. of russian planes at the airbases from which the strikes on ukraine are carried out is not true, it is a false argument. so no change in policy is foreseen? i have no announcements of any policy changes today. this is the answer, on the other hand,

from ukraine, also among experts and the ukrainian community here in the usa, we hear criticism such a position and calls for more decisive actions from the administration. let's move on, minister of defense. chaloy dosin went to germany, the german airbase ramstein, where the 24th meeting of the contact group for assistance in ukraine will be held on friday. in turn , the german media reports that the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, may also come to the meeting in person. we will talk more about expectations from this meeting with our correspondent in europe, bohdan tsyupin. bohdan, i congratulate you. greeting. is it already known? it is certain whether zelensky will be at the meeting of this group, because the presence of the president at it is rather atypical, bohdan. is not known for sure, we can only say that there are no objections to what our colleagues, the german journalists of the schigel magazine, published, moreover, i saw a conversation today by one of the advisers

of the administration of the ukrainian president, mykhailo podalyak, who spoke about tomorrow's meeting in ramstein on friday, and did not deny the possibility. the fact that the ukrainian president will be there, actually, was not in this something, there wouldn't be something extraordinary, just like that, because, well, for example, president zelenskyi already personally participated in the meeting of the ramstein group or the ramstein format e in october e of the 23rd year, this, it was in brussels, he visited the capital of the european union, the capital of belgium, and on this occasion he had the opportunity to actually participate in that meeting . to

50 countries, by the way, the exact number is not reported, so i think we will be closely watching what happens tomorrow and whether we will. are these data confirmed with reference to unnamed sources in berlin, we will wait bohdan, we also know that this week in europe the minister of defense of ukraine rostem immediately after his visit to the united states, and with what message he is addressing european leaders these days ? so umirov, as the minister of defense of ukraine, will obviously take part in the meeting in ramstein tomorrow, because it meeting on the level. ministers of defense, will chair it or chair the meeting, as usual, the united states secretary of defense, lloyd austin, and if the ukrainian president joins, i suspect that they will probably say together

what ukraine is urging, what ukraine is urging its western allies to do, especially loud lately now, that is, of course. but the topic of strikes on targets in russia on the territory of russia and above heard the american response to it in washington. in europe , such countries as great britain or france, where at the political level, representatives of paris and london have repeatedly stated that ukraine has the right, according to the laws of war, as a state defending itself against aggression, to strike at the territory of the aggressor's country. the germans are more restrained. the government led by olaf scholz still refuses to provide

ukraine with cruise missiles that could be a tool for strikes deep into russian territory, that is, taurus missiles still remain out of reach for ukraine, despite repeated statements. bohdan, actually about this one politician, i wanted to ask you what is the reason for this caution on the part of european partners, is it a review of... what washington says, or is it also some other arguments? there is caution, that is, let's say, if we talk about the german position, where the leaders are forced to explain their position a little more clearly, which is very, well, not flexible, then there they talk about the fear of escalation, and despite the fact that germany is pro. .. one donor, the largest donor of military aid to ukraine in europe, germany provides

armored vehicles, now announced, in particular additional air defense systems, so what germany is doing for ukraine is extremely valuable, extremely important, but also german politicians, more loudly than others, talk about the fear of escalation, about the fear of the expansion of the war. meanwhile, as i already said on... for example, french politicians, in particular president macron, have repeatedly said that nothing at all should be ruled out in this just defensive war of ukraine against the russian invaders, and likewise in london, there are hints of what in in principle, the british are in favor, but there are, as they say diplomatically, problems with coordination with allies, and ... quite often, when we talk not about officials, not about politicians, but about analysts or unofficial sources, then

the finger pointed at washington, so to speak, with a hint that it is the position of the united states, as a leading country in nato, as a country that actually has such and such capabilities, such a weapon for striking deep into russia, which is the connection. dads that it is their position that is largely decisive in what they say, what they say, what they decide to do allies, let's have a moment, how strong is the position of the leadership of nato and nato as an alliance, as a union, because we know that some other countries, on the contrary, advocate that there should be no restrictions on the ukrainian armed forces. yes, the irony is that the most vocal supporters of permission to use. western weapons for strikes deep into russia are those countries that do not have long-range weapons, that is,

for example, the baltic countries, the countries of northern europe, they do not have such powerful cruise missiles as germany or britain have there, france or the united states, but they are very clear about this, that what such permission or such consent should be, as far as the leadership of nato is concerned, well, let's not forget that... that despite the fact that nato secretary general jen stoltenberg, who , by the way, is leaving office at the beginning of october, has clearly stated more than once that he considers it correct to grant ukraine such permission and such permission and such opportunities, but he is the secretary general of nato, that is, he does not decide what the governments that are actually authorized to do , i will decide thank you for this analysis, bohdan tsyupin, our correspondent in london was in touch with us. meanwhile, lviv is preparing after

russian shelling and large-scale destruction of the historic part of the city. seven people died, more than 180 houses were damaged, more than 3,000 windows were broken. a day of mourning was announced in the city on thursday, and doctors are still fighting for the lives of ten people who are in serious condition. among them are three children. yury dankevych will tell more about omylyana chudlyakta from lviv. on the morning of the 9th, the day after the shelling, michnovsky street, near lvivskyi of the station, continue to be cleared of debris, and sweet ginger cafe is already open for visitors. i hoped that maybe the cafe was not badly damaged, because we are here in a corner so little, but when i started walking here through all the rubble, this hope began to disappear in me, the door was also taken out, all the lighting, all the fun, the ceiling fell, a full showcase of goodies is standing, and i have the first thought, something needs to be done about it quickly, i posted a request on facebook, call her

about the sale of the showcase, in two hours everything sold out, and even... many still didn't have enough, but there were simply hundreds of calls, messages, it actually gave a lot of support, understanding that we are not alone. daria , who lives next to her husband and three daughters , remembers with horror the morning of september 4, when around six o'clock her street was attacked by a combination of drones and rockets. at least two explosions were on one side of us, and then on the other. i run into the corridor and just fall on the children and at that moment there is an explosion. and i just fall on them, and they look at me with those eyes of theirs scared, just in front of my eyes this look, these eyes are just full of terror, and i understand that well, i can't do anything about it, i can't calm the child down, i can't even say, tell the children that everything will be fine, because i i don't know, i can't say that, but

it's good that we're all fine, some houses in the neighborhood were badly damaged, destroyed. roofs and stairwells, signs were flooded on the facades, the whole room was made of glass, the windows were broken, the neighbors were below me, there was a small child, and they had a door jammed, you know? daria and khrystya are volunteers who work on reconstruction throughout ukraine, they arrived in the first hours after the explosions to help dismantle the rubble. goosebumps from how many people come here and just ask how to help, what can be done. in the morning, there was a need for blood, donor blood in the hospitals for all the victims, here already after lunch there was a message that the need is no longer there, that is , someone works here, someone went to donate blood. another epicenter of the attack is 2 km from here: konovaltsia street, the area once known as the new world or french house, there are many villas and representative houses of the beginning of the 20th century, here is the pearl of the district, the neo-baroque

palace of josef franz, known as the villa of the plaster kings, here are broken windows and the palace. osville heller is the former residence of the director of the city theater. here , the ancient tile roof was destroyed, and the biggest blow fell on this row of houses. a resident of one of the local apartments sits in his own car. this is his shelter for a few hours. there are no words, but here is a video from their apartment. the walls in the rooms are cut small fragments, the doctors put 30 stitches on the host. the scale of destruction is clearly visible from the inside. yard, reconstruction in these quarters, which are part of the unesco world heritage site, requires work with archives and other special procedures. we had the experience last year, when a russian rocket destroyed four houses on stryiska street, which are also located in historical reality, and all these procedures, they took about a year to rebuild. today we do not have

this time of the year, because it is autumn, tomorrow it will start raining, and you have to work. quickly enough, that is why we appeal to international companies, to foundations, to caring lviv residents to join and take under the care of one or another building, out of 188 buildings that were attacked, 20 buildings are in a difficult condition, in fact they need to be rebuilt, only a day after the attack, individual houses are already finding their guardians, several large companies, the polish government and even the foundation of hollywood actor sho have volunteered. foam the german city of freiburg allocated funds for the repair of one of schools, signing documents with the germans is conducted in a classroom with broken windows. from here you can clearly see the destruction of the house where the whole family tragically died. a 43-year-old woman and three daughters. the bazilevich family, of which only the father survived, is written about by the media of the whole world. the lviv branch of

the plast scout organization, whose members were seven-year-old emilia and 18-year-old daryna, shares warm memories of them. and in the youth center, where the oldest 21-year-old yaryna worked, sunflowers and many photos. as a program manager, the girl was preparing a large and important project for the city. lviv is the youth capital of europe. she sat and worked until night, and then said, i'm going to weave nets. when the full-scale invasion had just begun, she constantly traveled with volunteers, helped, constantly sat in rehabilitation centers and also helped. and now, for example, we have a youth assembly. for the youth event, which should be held this saturday, and yaryna actively helped me to close it too and said, just as we saw each other the day before yesterday, she said that we need to come up with something so that we... more, we closed it faster, and unfortunately, in this way yarka almost closed this blockage again. on saturday, anastasia and iryna were supposed to hold their thematic block together.

the team of the center decided not to cancel the event, but to reformat it in memory of her and her family. the bazilevich family, whose tragedy became another symbol of the russian invasion, will be buried on friday at the lychakiv cemetery. omaliano shchudlyak, yuriy dankevich, for the voice of america from lviv. and we finish the issue of the story about the war in the middle east, which has been going on for almost a year. as the leaders of israel and hamas negotiate the details of a peace deal brokered by washington, the public is reeling from long-standing hostage killings and worried about the health care situation in the gaza strip. about the prospects for peace in the middle east later in the story. first.

to really move forward, to make real progress, in all of this you need, of course, a ceasefire, and you need to start a proper peace process and move forward. almost a year after the start of this war, no signs of peace, the flames of anger engulfed both. parties israeli protesters say their government failed to rescue the six hostages before hamas killed them and is not doing enough to help the hostages still being held. palestinians are outraged by the violence, which is tearing apart the gaza strip. the white house says it hopes to reach a cease-fire agreement soon, but the president recently hinted at an obstacle. do you think it is time for prime minister benjamin netanyahu to do more? for that, does he do enough in your opinion, no. tuesday at the white house administration officials said they were still working on a deal with various parties in egypt and qatar. we are working on

a proposal that will secure the release of the remaining hostages and include massive and immediate aid to the people of geza, as well as an end to the hostilities. analysts say that intransigence is burning from several sides, hamas is afraid. deal that would strip it of its status in the palestinian territories, with israel seeking to retain control over parts of gaza, but there is another player in this situation who could to lose if the deal falls through, washington. if we're negotiating and we can't put pressure on our friends, on our allies for their own good, not to mention the good of the region and the good of everyone, then i don't know why anyone thinks that our participation going forward will be special. people in the region who have never really known lasting peace suffer the most from war. tetyana voroshko, anita pavel, voice of america. on this

we say goodbye. thank you for trusting the voice of america ukrainian. i wish you a peaceful night and a peaceful morning. see you soon. see you soon.
