of air defense and emphasized that the patriot systems promised by the partners, which we heard in july this year, have not all actually reached ukraine, so he called for more active actions and for the acceleration of these deliveries. he also said that in order to shoot down russian missiles and drones, ukraine needs more f-16 aircraft, which ukraine already has in its arsenal. of course, he also raised the topic of long-range strikes on the territory of russia. volodymyr zelenskyy said that ukraine effectively uses long-range missiles of the american. production of attacks from the territory of crimea, and this helped to stabilize the security situation in the black sea, and ukraine needs to expand the permission to use such missiles on the territory of russia as well, in order to, as zelensky said, motivate russia to peace. the president also mentioned that ukraine is increasing its own capacity and weapons production, in particular, when we talk about drones or other other systems, but he also called on allies to invest and to... develop joint

ukrainian defense production in including, however, there was one more thing that zelenskyy mentioned to oleksia's partners, this is the ukrainian operation in the kursk region of russia, today, he said, and a month after the operation began, and he shared the purpose and goals of these actions of the armed forces of ukraine, he said that russia was apparently planning an attack on the sumy region from kurshchyna, and the actual actions of the armed forces of ukraine, this operation helped to prevent this, and now there is no threat of this attack. also, one of the goals of these actions of the armed forces in the kurt region of russia is to force russia to peace - said zelensky. let's listen to his words. we want to end this war. we want peace. first of all, we want to save our people, our country. it is putin who does not want peace. he is obsessed with conquering territories. he wants our cities or the ruins that remain of them. why do we

need force to force russia to seek peace? we need to force russian cities and even russian soldiers to think about what they want: putin or peace? and it is realistic to push them to choose peace. already long enough ukrainian authorities, experts, and spectators in the west are calling on the us to allow ukraine to use long-range weapons to strike deep into russia. this question was asked today during remstein: what did you hear in... the explanation of pentagon representatives on this matter, of course, oleksia, many people ask about it, the pentagon spoke the day before that there is a limited amount that can be provided to ukraine, they also addressed attention to the fact that russia, they say, has moved most of its aircraft beyond the range of missile attacks, today this is a question also addressed directly to the minister of defense lloyd austin, asked why these restrictions actually exist, what is their logic, let's hear the answer, i don't think that... i

think that ukraine has a fairly significant potential of its own to hit targets that are far beyond beyond the range of the atacoms, or even the stormshadow for that matter, and as we look at the battlefield now, we know that the russians have actually moved their planes with scabbards beyond the range of the atacoms radio judge, so that's an interesting argument, but again, i think , that in the foreseeable future... we will focus on helping ukrainians effectively defend their sovereign territory. mr. minister, but president zelenskyi and others say that there are other strategic targets within russia that can be effectively destroyed with the help of these long-range weapons. russia has a lot of whole. obviously, this is a big country, and ukraine has a lot of facilities, drones and other things. to hit those targets. ostape,

thank you very much. my colleague ostap yarysh was in touch with us. president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi during a press conference with the prime minister of ireland called the changes in the government of ukraine a reboot and explained them as the need for new energy - i quote. at the same time , experts highlight other probable reasons, in particular the desire of the president to surround himself with loyalists and officials who can strengthen the power of the bank. however. western allies and analysts refrain from any criticism of the government reshuffle in kyiv. i suggest you listen to how the experts explain it in the comments they gave to my colleague kateryna lisunova. it is too early to say what exactly these changes mean, but two interpretations can be voiced: the first is a little darker than the second. the first is that the people who took office are more loyal and convenient for the president. and

zelensky, and this may be an attempt to surround himself with people with whom he is simply more comfortable, or to create his own team, closer to him than previous officials. this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does have the... potential to increase his power, which can have unpredictable results. the second interpretation is that ukraine is preparing for a new phase of the war, and this is what he himself declares ukrainian government, and this new phase may require new people. changes of officials within any government are the internal responsibility of that government. it is not the business of foreigners, it is not the business of foreign governments or their observers to make assumptions or to have a position about decisions made by a sovereign state, so we respect the decisions of the ukrainian government regarding the changes of its own officials, these are decisions that were made by the president, the prime minister - a minister, together with the verkhovna rada. i'm sure

the american government is looking forward to it continuing to work with the new ukrainian officials, for the sake of victory, so that we ultimately win this war. and that's another message that the u.s. has finally...taught that we're here to win, to see the ukrainians win, and that remains a top priority that we're going to work on with the new government, just as it was with the previous one. . according to experts, the new head of the ministry of foreign affairs, andriy sybiga, is likely to introduce more discipline in the ministry and concentrate on internal work, but they note special changes in the external politics should not be expected, because... international priorities are currently determined by the office of the president of ukraine for banking. the new minister, andriy sybiga, is also an experienced diplomat. he worked at the bank in

the president's office. he also served as first deputy minister of foreign affairs for the past few months, so he has experience in both of these structures. it is very likely that mr. sebiga will focus more on... what should be said here about the conditional policy of kuleba, it was the policy of ukraine, which is determined exclusively by the president and his closest advisers. sybiga is already a separate individual, and he will have his own style and his own accents, but it is obvious to me that the president of ukraine manages

the national security policy, which includes the work of the ministry of foreign affairs and the minister of foreign affairs. the new minister, as well as the previous one, will follow the instructions that he will receive, and this is, in my opinion, the main point. the campaigns of donald trump and camila harris are reaching the finish line, but neither candidate has revealed how plan to help ukraine in the fight against russian aggression. the prospects for ukraine's support differ depending on who wins the us presidential election this year. experts say that today the conflict in ukraine has radically changed, which has given ukraine more leverage in determining its own destiny. details in the plot of yuri mamon. the us presidential elections are closely watched in ukraine. local analysts say that against the background of the war and the statements that trump makes in his election campaign, his second term in the white house in ukraine is treated ambiguous there is probably such a prevailing opinion

that trump's return to the white house is not the best, to put it mildly, scenario for ukraine. although also such thoughts sound cautious that maybe not everything is so wrong. trump has repeatedly stated that he will quickly end the war, and his running mate jd waynes once contradicted himself by saying that he really doesn't care about ukraine. because of such different statements, ukrainians do not know what to think, analysts say. the potential presidency of kamala garis in ukraine is also perceived ambiguously. the vice president met personally with zelensky and represented the white house at major transatlantic security summits. but publicly , she spoke rarely and briefly about the war and aid to ukraine and how she differs from trump. harris criticized trump. he encouraged putin to invade the territory of our allies, said that russia

can, and i quote: do whatever it wants. five days before russia attacked ukraine, i met with president zelensky to warn him about russia's plan to ukraine and ours nato allies. analysts predict that garis will most likely follow biden's policy with the slogan "support ukraine, and trump's foreign policy statements remain as uncertain as before." for example, his statement that he will end the war in one day raises more questions than answers. it is not entirely clear how he is going to do this. the fear , of course, is that he will do it simply by leaving ukraine, cutting off funding and forcing zelensky to leave. for negotiations at a time when putin will enjoy all the highlights of these negotiations. however, according to andrew payne,

today's battlefield has changed. the ukrainians conducted a successful kurdish operation and now control a considerable russian territory, and this is a bargaining chip that will help ukraine in the negotiations, says university of london professor saint george. however, at the end of his term , president biden can somehow radically influence the situation. i would not expect any changes in position. regarding the military operation of ukraine until november, in the period from november to january, regardless of election results, i think we can see certain positive changes for kyiv in this direction. however, ukrainian and british analysts believe that far from everything that happens or can happen in ukraine, the american president has an influence, regardless of who wins the elections. yuri mamon, anita paul, voice of america. military aid to kyiv from germany and ukrainian support. world war ii won

the local elections in this country. alternative for germany received record results in the states of thuringia and saxony. at the same time, the ultra-left is also strengthening its influence in ukraine. however, iryna shinkarenko will tell what this could mean for ukraine in the future. the far-right alternative for germany or af party. where she won a decisive victory in the elections in thuringia in the east of the country and took second place in neighboring saxony. most of our people do not want things to remain as they were before, they want political change, and now we are the strongest force in turyungia, and i am interested to see how the old parties will then try to somehow form losing coalition, it will be exciting. this is the first victory of the german far-right after the second world war, the third in thuringia. sara wagenknecht's union was a newly formed ultra-left party. despite the fact that the results were

predictable, they shocked many of germany's allies, not least ukraine. germany is the second donor of military aid to kyiv after the usa. now this is in doubt. both far-right and far-left populist forces have campaigned for a cut in german aid to ukraine, and they have directly called for a reduction in military help they called. authorities finally negotiated with russia. in the short-term perspective, analysts say, the results of the local elections will not affect the federal government's funding of aid to ukraine. but you can already see a slight change in the rhetoric of the centrist parties regarding ukraine. we have four centrist parties, and some of them have already taken some of the narratives or directions that populist and far-right parties have used. minister of finance. free democratic party, which is part of the government coalition, insists on cutting aid

to ukraine in half in the next budget. his party won less than 5% in the thuringian state election and fears a repeat of the same result in next year's federal election. so it really is a struggle for political survival, especially for the liberals who are promoting a program to cut aid from the budget for ukraine. immigration was the main issue that was raised. number of votes for the far-right, a lot of rhetoric was directed at non-europeans, especially muslim migrants, but germany also hosts over a million ukrainian refugees. the question of whether to finance them and in what way, whether to send them to ukraine, is a delicate issue. we have men, ukrainians, who are legally eligible for the draft. in this way , the pressure is also increasing on the male population of ukrainian refugees in germany to... send them back to ukraine.

chancellor olaf scholz's social democratic party noted that german intelligence agencies had classified the afd as an extremist party, and the head of government said that its victory in thuringia should be, quote: a wake-up call. iryna shynkarenko, henry ridgewell, voice of america. and we finish the story about how ukrainian and american entrepreneurs in the usa unite for mutual help. one such community has been in existence for a year in new york. its founder is oleksiy biletskyi, a ukrainian figure skater. and second-year olympian. iryna solomka will tell the details of this story. oleksiy biletskyi is a professional athlete, engaged in ice dancing, took part in the olympic games in salt lakes from ukraine. after the end of the career began working as a coach in the usa, as well as judging international competitions. however, over time he returned to odessa, where he began

selling metal structures. he says that the great war practically destroyed his business. i am trying to keep my company, there are jobs for my workers, there were development plans, there were very interesting projects, the market fell, there are no such powerful projects as there were before the war. biletsky came to the usa at the beginning of the war, received an offer to be a coach at one of the universities near new york, in odesa oleksiy was a member board of the community of ukrainian entrepreneurs. when i came to the usa, i realized that i would like to open its branch here. where this is such a startup project for me, i get to know many very interesting people, very motivated for the result, because look at our board together faster, and everyone in

the family helps each other. oleksiy says that he is trying to unite both american businessmen who have... ukrainian roots, and ukrainians who left because of the war and are trying to transfer business to the usa. currently, the community has more than 30 members. andrew rashkovan is one of them. andriy comes from konotop, has a successful telecommunications business there. andrey took his family out of the city in the first days of the invasion, and he himself returned to defend his native konotop. on february 24, 2022 , we already had battles, if in the city, we already had a certain section there. the front line, which we controlled, notified if there, well , the main intelligence department in the intelligence of our 58th separate motorized infantry brigade there and also there were certain intelligence structures of the armed forces of ukraine, where it was necessary to transmit information that such and such and such the equipment in such and such a quantity moves in such and such a direction,

then we performed our such and such certain work there for 'for'. the family left for the usa. in december 2022, andriy came to visit them and stayed. he has leg problems that require long-term treatment. in order not to waste time, i decided to try to open a small business in new york. at the beginning of december, we rented premises in brooklyn, and on february 10, we already launched our beauty salon, in fact, that is, our beauty salon is called flower. wears such a ukrainian name, we have ukrainian girls working for us, and a very large percentage of them, a percentage of them came here during the war, that is, they also need some help there, that is why we cooperate very well in this direction, we have about 85% of our clients people from

ukraine, that is, they go, they see this flower, it’s very good, let’s go... rashkovan admits that doing business in the usa is not easy, especially for newcomers, when you have to start everything and understand everything from scratch, he says, membership in the business community he is very in it helps, the membership fees that i pay as a board member, i think it's an investment, i talk to different people who are also now involved in the, well, beauty industry, so i talk to a very large... er circle such, you know, marketers, such, probably, even world-class, he also has a hardware cosmetology clinic there in haifa, that is, we share some experience there, he is also interested in communicating with me, i am interested in communicating with him, here is a person in chicago has its own beauty studios there, that is we also communicate with him, michael podolsky

is another member of the community, he has been living in the usa for more than 30 years, himself... from kharkiv. michael , together with his partner, owns the site angry consumer, which collects reviews from people who are not satisfied with products or services. now we really have 145 thousand american and western companies that have profiles on our site. we make money through advertising. we also make money. cooperates with companies that want to respond to negative reviews, we also have pist consumer club, we help. users contact companies more efficiently, users do not like to spend

30-60 minutes, several hours on hold, waiting for a company to answer them, and we help users to do this more efficiently. podolsky is one of the mentors in the ukrainian business community of new york, get involved. biletsky invited michael to the association. i, when i came here, i had $200 in my pocket and that was it, and for me it was, my path was very difficult, but it was 30 years ago, i want to spread my experience, so alexei recognized this, and he gave me the role of a mentor , i... have a different story, but an entrepreneur remains an entrepreneur, they have a desire to move themselves, the community, their

business forward, this is the main feature of the ukrainian entrepreneur that i see, i see many people who do various businesses, from real estate, beauty salons. members around the world and can turn to him for help from any cell. who comes to new york, i say: i have 30 years of experience in america, but i have not yet

found the tree on which dollars grow, this is the first joke, and the second joke: america is labor camp with improved food, and everyone should understand that. new immigrants, in order to achieve american peace, you have to work hard, i work hard every day, and this is what gives me the opportunity to live well in america. the founder of the new york union, oleksiy biletskyi, says that he dreams of creating a powerful center in new york that will help newly arrived entrepreneurs to adapt faster and achieve their goals. therefore, he hopes to at least double the number of community members by the end of the year. with new york iryna solomka pavlo terekhov, voice of america. we will say goodbye on this.
