no announcements, i predict from the comments of our ukrainian friends that this will be a topic of discussion, but again, i have no announcements today. one of the arguments we hear from the white house is that most russian airfields are out of range, even for atakams missiles, but ukraine points out that there are other relevant military targets within range, and that... even , unless it results in some major strategic victory, it can save lives. isn't it? worth it i will not enter into a debate on this subject, because in the end it is the decision of the president of the united states to make. what i will say is that we are making a number of efforts to give ukraine an advantage in the ability to pursue targets from where russia is firing at ukrainian positions and ukrainian cities. and damages the ukrainian

infrastructure. so we have these conversations. obviously, some of them we can talk about publicly, but other elements are better left private. but are there active discussions? very active discussions on this question. and we actually believe that ukraine needs to have long-range assets that it can use. in fact, ukraine has some long-range capabilities of its own. which she uses very effectively. let me remind you that recently there was a very successful strike by the armed forces of ukraine in the area of ​​the russian-belarusian border. so, we will have a comprehensive conversation about the entire range of capabilities, which in our opinion are now the most important for ukraine to bring it to a strong position. and again , this is the president's top priority biden he is committed to it. i'm sure we'll have a good conversation. president

zelenskyi said that in order for the victory plan to work, quick decisions are needed from partners, namely the united states. jake salevan recently said that president biden will use the last four months of his presidency to put ukraine in a position to win. so should we expect swift and decisive action in the next few months. yes, i think you 'll see us launch a number of initiatives, both over the next week and throughout next months to strengthen ukraine's position. it is worth remembering that we have already spent a lot of money from the law on additional funding, which was passed in april, so there is not much money left, but we will try to prioritize the most important capabilities that will strengthen ukraine on the battlefield. but now it remains almost. under the mechanism of

presidential authority, and there is concern that it may expire, then you say that we will see an announcement of the allocation of aid for all that 6 billion. i will not go into details today, but i will tell you that we will do everything we can to send as much of this military aid as possible as quickly as possible in the coming weeks. does president biden want to see ukraine's victory as part of his political legacy? the president is committed to ukraine as a sovereign, democratic, independent state that is fighting back against this brutal attack from russia. as we have repeatedly noted, putin could end this war even today if he wanted to. and no one wants peace, stability and security as much as the ukrainian people people. they are the victims, they are the ones whose cities, whose villages, whose neighbor's houses, schools and children have been bombed. we have seen

the worst war crimes in ukraine, even crimes against humanity, so we understand that ukrainians want peace above all else, but we need to give them the power to achieve it, and this is where we plan to have a very substantive discussion on how to reconcile our policies to achieve this ultimate goal. world leaders gather for the un general assembly in new york, will president biden use the platform of the un general assembly, to call for in the president's speech at the general assembly, and i can assure you that in most conversations with our partners and allies around the world, this will be one of the main topics, these are the words of oleksya from michael carpenter, the representative of the us national security council, but here an important point, of course president biden will be in favor of... increasing

aid from other countries, but still the ukrainian president pays all attention to the united states, and again, returning to the issue of lifting the ban on the use of american weapons for... long-range on the eve of the attacks, president biden was asked if he had already made a decision to withdraw the permits, and he said: "no, maybe after the meeting in the oval office with the ukrainian president, something will change, but it is important to remember that the ukrainian president will meet from the point of view of the united states not only with the president, he will also meet with vice president kamela harris, also a presidential candidate, and another presidential candidate, donald trump. again, this is a strategy." so that, regardless of who comes to power in the united states, ukraine had this support, because of course, these next three months are very important, but a lot will be decided after the presidential elections in the united states. in addition, oleksiy, leaders are also scheduled, as well as meetings with congressional leaders and senators are scheduled,

because again, if we are talking about the support of the united states of ukraine, then the political decisions, of course, are for the administration, but the main financial decisions are for the congress. and this is also a very important component, so oleksiy, a super important week for ukraine, we will be here, we will report on all the most important things, so obviously yulia, we continue to monitor, thank you very much, my colleague yuliya yarmonko was in touch with us. the gender gap between candidates for the post of president of the united states is increasing, analysts say. democrat camla harris is increasingly supported by the female part of the american electorate, while men prefer donald trump. according to experts for both. it is very important for candidates to gain support among white american women if they will make an impact gender indicators for the future of the white house in the story of katerynyva. since 1984 , more women than men have voted in presidential elections in the united states, and

for the most part they prefer democrats over republicans. the unexpected entry into the presidential race of kamela harris to replace joe biden has added enthusiasm to women who are ready to come to the polls . we're seeing pretty significant changes in many demographic groups, but especially women, who are now more likely to vote for democrats in white home than when it was biden. in this election , approximately one in five women believe that reproductive rights are a key issue. in 2022, supreme court justices previously appointed by trump helped repeal the constitutional right to abortion. trump wants each state to make its own abortion laws. instead, garis. believes that federal law should equally protect reproductive freedoms across the country. she tries to create a world where all people have the right to their own decisions, their body is their business, women's rights. me love that she will fight for

ordinary people, for the middle class, i'm middle class, and also for women's rights laws. according to the latest polls, the advantage of harris over trump among women. she rallied many young women who are independent non-partisan voters under the age of 50, many of them under the age of 40, who were really inspired by her candidacy. now, lighter-skinned women are much more likely to vote for harris, and so are hispanic women, so as we can see, she has more influence on specific demographics of women by race and education. instead, male voters prefer trump by a margin of 5 to 9 percent, depending on the poll. first, the fact that she is a candidate scares me a little, because she is not ready to lead the state. suddenly, kamala harris

was the democratic nominee, even though she would never have won the nomination under other circumstances, she came out of nowhere. according to sociologist david mclennan and... meredith college, the gender gap persists among young generation z voters. in this group, the majority of men are under the age of 27 prefer donald trump. some young men of generation z grew up with the popularization of so-called ponts. they admired a kind of matchmaking behavior. according to the professor, young men receive political education from social networks. it is there that they often see and hear negative thoughts about female leadership. they believe that women will not be able to make difficult decisions if the united states is at war or faces an international crisis. they do not believe that women are capable of being tough and decisive. support among white women became key for a trump victory in 2016. he also won the majority of the white female vote in 2020.

the latest polls show that support for this category of voters between harris and trump is currently about the same, so they are a fierce battle between the candidates. kateryna lisonova, dora mcquire, voice of america, washington. and to european news on. olaf scholz's social democratic party won the elections to the state parliament in the german region of brandenburg. at the same time , the ultra-right power was in second place by a small margin an alternative for germany. earlier , alternative for germany won the state elections in thuringia and got a significant result in saxony. we will talk more about this with our european correspondent bohdan tsyupan. bohdan i congratulate you. bohdan, what exactly do these election results mean for olaf scholz's social democratic party? and what do they say about the growing influence of the alternative for germany? oleksiy, as you

already said, the social democrats of germany are the government party, the party of chancellor olaf scholz in the first place, but only with a margin of 1%, that is, very, very little, and this again shows that the extreme right party is an alternative for germany and also the extreme left party. sara wagenk's union clearly shows that they are getting more and more votes, and today the representative of the alternative for germany party showed that this party has quite serious claims for the future. i believe that... on the right track and that we should stay the course. alternative for germany turned into a program party. we already are

a people's party with electoral support at the level of more than 30%. also according to national trends, according to polls, we rose in the rating yesterday. this is a very successful and pleasant indicator. we are the second leading power in the country by a wide margin. and from this follows the intentions of adn to participate in the government. the voters gave us a government mandate in all. in three states in eastern germany, the will of the voters here is unequivocal. bohdan, who is an alternative for germany from this party, has repeatedly received critical statements of support of ukraine. similar rhetoric that sounded interesting from the ultra-left, what could this mean for aid to ukraine? the politicians of this party obviously exceed the level of their support and also obviously overestimate their ambitions, but... although we are talking about only local elections in currently three so

-called german states out of 16, and at the local level , these parties or governments in which participation , these parties probably do not take part, they do not influence either foreign policy or defense, but it is obvious that these voices are heard, they are heard in election campaigns, they are heard... in the mass media from the extreme, and from the extreme right, and from the extreme left, we very often hear slogans in germany, in fact almost unequivocally consonant with what is heard from the kremlin. bohdan, but if you look at the historical dynamics in general, why exactly in the east of germany, the far-right forces receive such high indicators of support, as we see here. in this winter election? so far it looks like this, and in germany they hope, and

analysts believe that in the western lands, in most of the territory of the federal the republic of germany, the extreme right and the extreme left, the left will not have such support as in the territories of the former communist gdr, but in fact, to a large extent, what is happening in germany is also an impression of processes in other countries, where extreme extremist forces are growing , as well as in many western countries or in the usa or in europe, and german analysts are also talking about this. so, in general, the problem is that the far-right parties, and this is true of all the far-right parties in europe, are connected to a general fear about the future, with to kill on the economy and on other social issues, extreme parties offer

very simple answers on immigration and homeland security, and neither democratic party can answer such questions with easy and quick solutions, but it is important to listen to the people to try to solve, especially economic problems and that's how to do politics. so, as this representative of one of the universities in germany says. extreme parties, extreme right, extreme left, other populist forces, simply offer easy answers to complex question, it doesn't mean that they... can really solve either the immigration problems or the security problems, like the crime rate in the countries, and some people say that they really just have to be given a chance to be here in power, and thus showed that in fact the problems they propose are very easy to solve, they

obviously won't be able to do it, but on the other hand there is a risk because... that there are countries where extremist parties or extremist forces, and history shows that after coming to power such and such extremist politicians, extremist parties, very often do not want to give up power, and resort to actual forceful means in order to preserve it. for now, the europeans are hoping that it obviously won't come to that, that we're just seeing... a normal political struggle between different forces, that there's a protest electorate that supports actually protesting extremist populist parties, and that at the end of the day, this is just part of the normal democratic process in democratic countries. fallen, we have less than one minute left, can it make an impact

is the position of these far-left and far-right forces on the same side as the position of the social democratic party, the party... of the ring regarding ukraine? probably, to a certain extent it can, and in particular, this is why, we are talking about the fact that the far-right party, an alternative for germany, has achieved significant success in these very lands, so to speak, yes, regions, regions of germany, and already the leading german parties declared that they will not cooperate with them, that they will not let them in... but then the question arises that they, the leading parties, will probably be forced to cooperate with the extreme left, and there is danger in this. bohdan, thank you very much, we continue to follow this topic, we were contacted by our european correspondent bohdan tsyupane. ukrainian musicians from

the forefront came with a thanksgiving tour to the usa. members of the military. cultural troops had several performances in the american congress, and also arranged street concerts near the main tourist attractions of the american capital. they have performances in more than two dozen american cities ahead of them. iryna talked with the participants of the tour shynkarenko and kostyantyn golubchyk. no other road is needed. cultural participants near the thomas jefferson memorial in the center of washington. ukrainian songs are performed by the landing party. for americans, this is an opportunity not only to listen to music, but also to communicate and express support. i'm from california, but i have jewish ancestors, some of them died in ukraine, so i feel that ukrainians are my people, and i think it's wrong when people

are oppressed. i think we should all come to the rescue and support those who are fighting oppression. ukrainian military musicians, divided into groups, they perform street concerts near various historical monuments of washington and in government institutions, in particular in the us congress. usually there are quick meetings at the congress, and we also take the bandura with us, we have taras stolyar, honored artist of ukraine, and usually he plays some very colorful ukrainian compositions on the bandura. it is impressive, because the bandura is our national instrument, there are more than 60 strings, and he performs metallica on the bandura, which also impresses the americans. for band player and performer lyubov shepilyuk from this is vinnytsia's first trip to the united states, she says that it is unusual for her not to be on the front lines. almost all my performances are for the military, somewhere on the front line in some tiny huts,

somewhere in plantations in the forests, i'm used to it, because i do it. every day and here i am as if in real scenes, in very beautiful places, and it is really unusual for me. lyubov joined the cultural landing force a year ago, at the same time finishing the fourth year of the glyer academy of music, she dreamed of going to the front with performances since she was 17 years old. i wanted to sing for the boys to see them, talk to them, but my parents didn't let me, they said you'll be 18, do whatever you want, and if you don't, you won't go anywhere. so, well, well, i waited for my birthday, i performed in the donetsk direction, in the kharkiv direction twice, from january 2024 i performed. almost nine months every day in the zaporozhye direction. on the front line, love most often performs historical cossack and rebel songs, she says, she has seen how much music helps

to raise the morale of the military. usually, when we arrive at the beginning, the guys are like that, again tired, like that, well, we'd better go there, i don't know, go do something, this concert is ours, it often happens, but then, when they see how sincerely we do it, that we want it for them... just raise mood, to heal for that hour from their everyday life and transfer them from the place where they are now, after that they always come, thank you, and a smile appears on their face, and this is very valuable. military pianist and composer mykhailo oliynyk with a cultural landing tour in the usa for the second time, in ukraine, in almost a year and a half he gave more than 600 performances on the front lines, he says, he noticed how fatigue accumulated in the military, so he tries to add at least a little strength with music. raises the fighting spirit, these are our patriotic songs, those that were sung during the upa period, and those that were created now, we are like kobzars of modern times, because

kobzars came for the cossacks and played on the banduras of the duma, played to patriotic songs, we now we do the same work in the army. mykhailo says that it is most difficult to speak in front of military personnel who have just lost their comrades in the service, as well as in hospitals for the seriously injured. under the impression, during a full-scale war. the composer created two of his own albums, dedicated the melodies to ukrainian heroes, cities and tragic events. i was very attached to the city of gulyai pole, it is very close to the contact line, i was very impressed by the people who were there, we were in an underground bunker, there were not many local people left, there was also a group of emergency services, and when i spoke for them, i was so inspired, because these are indomitable people who are constantly under fire, i created a composition called walk field, i dedicated to these people. on the musicians of the cultural assault continues to perform on the front lines. the group in the usa plans to visit more than 20 american cities, they say their music is also an element of ukrainian diplomacy. iryna
