and the president was very categorical about these prospects, now you can hear, i believe that we, ukraine, have never been so close to the alliance as today, and it is true, a little more determination, two countries, and everything will work out. we are not looking for an alternative to nato, i will tell you frankly, because it is very important for ukraine, for the future, for the real future of ukrainians. iro, and to another topic that is currently being very actively discussed, it is strikes with western weapons deep into russia. you have the opportunity to ask questions about this to the minister of foreign affairs. of great britain that he

did you answer yes, oleksii, but before that i would like to say that we talked about this with the chief european diplomat joseph borel, he also said that it is very important for the partners of the european union to ensure such economic stability and protection, and accordingly military, of course, he really hopes, he is generally convinced that this should be the case, that ukraine has the right to self-defense, this is part of ukraine's right to self-defense, and now, speaking today with the minister of foreign affairs great... he also said that during the meeting with his colleague, i.e. the american and other partners, he would emphasize that finally the partners of ukraine should show such character and give this opportunity to ukrainians, and now you can hear his answer i expect that over the coming days and weeks, we will be in a very strong position to ensure that ukraine is at its best. which can only be before

the harsh winter of 2025, and let me be very clear about what i mean. all of them our intelligence indicates that the situation for vladimir putin will become much more difficult already next year. his economy is in bad shape and he will struggle to cope with the number of losses and casualties he has suffered. at the same time, when we look at what ukraine is doing, they have already managed to recapture half of... the black sea, they have gone on the offensive in the kurdish region, and i hope they are holding these positions. in fact, now is the time for the event to demonstrate its courage and absolute commitment to the cause, at a time when we we are moving from autumn to winter. julia, do you follow all the updates in the white house, is there any movement on this issue in the white house, are there any updates? oleksiy,

we don't have any updates at the moment, the only thing we heard the last time was when president biden was asked if he had made a decision about lifting the ban himself, he said he hadn't yet, which is why this meeting at the white house will be so important , but oleksiy, it should be said that we now know that a number of world leaders have gathered in new york and from very we hear a certain pressure from many people for the administration to remove these restrictions, in particular, today i also spoke with radoslav sikorskyi. literally a few words asked him if he supports the idea of ​​lifting this ban, this is what he told me, let's listen, can i ask you, do you think ukraine should be allowed to strike inside russia using american weapons, i think so, do you think that after zelensky's meeting with biden, there can be such a decision? alexey, what does this mean, god forbid. colleagues, thank you very much, in touch with us from new york with everyone.

on september 26, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi will meet at the white house with the vice president and candidate for the us presidency from the democrats, kamela garis. the meeting between zelenskyi and the republican candidate for the presidential elections of the united states , donald trump, has not yet been scheduled. this is reported in the media with reference to former president donald trump's entourage about expectations. and planned meetings, we have the opportunity to talk with tetyana vorozhko, who monitors updates from of the republican camp and maria lyanovska, who will tell about zelenskyi's planned meeting with garis. greetings, colleagues. congratulations. congratulations. maria, let's start with you, what is known now about zelenskyi's planned meeting with garis, what can we expect from this meeting? so, oleksiy, another visit of president volodymyr zelenskyi will take place in washington on thursday, and this day will be very busy for him. in the afternoon he has meeting with incumbent president joe

biden, and according to presidential administration spokeswoman karin janier, she said that during this meeting the leaders will discuss the course of the war, hopes. from this war and the united states' support of ukraine. in addition, it has already been confirmed that volodymyr zelensky will have a separate meeting with the vice president and presidential candidate from the democrats, kamela garis. and sources also report that he will go to capitol hill to the us congress and will have meetings there with lawmakers from both parties. as for expectations, karin junkier said what president biden expects to hear from volodymyr zelensky strategic planning for... the next few months, and it looks like it coincides with what volodymyr zelensky wants to tell joe biden, because he wants to present his plan to win ukraine, he wants to present a plan to strengthen ukraine, how weaken russia and force russia to go to negotiations on fair

terms. the details of this plan are not disclosed, and joe biden will be the first world leader to get acquainted with it, but oleksiy is also informed that we expect the results this visit yet a large aid package from the united states for ukraine? tanya, in contrast to the planned meeting with garis, it is not yet known whether the meeting of the ukrainian president with trump will take place, or have there been any specifics on this matter at this point? well, we have sent several requests to the trump campaign, we are also communicating with the ukrainian delegation, according to our sources and the sources of other journalists, the meeting has not yet been planned, and we also know that this moment has become somewhat complicated due to the fact that in the camp of... the republicans, among the trump entourage, among the republican leaders, there was a sharp dissatisfaction with the fact that president zelensky, when he visited the military plant in pennsylvania, he did it together with the governor of the state, josh shapiro, this is a very key state, pennsylvania , and shapiro himself is quite well-known and popular,

an active figure in the company of kamela harris, so we do not know if this meeting will take place at all, if it will take place, then when? have we already heard any new statements, perhaps regarding... ukraine or is there any new one tanya's development, what are they saying today in trump's headquarters? well, actually today during a meeting with voters in the state of georgia in the city of savannah, donald trump put the responsibility for russia's invasion of ukraine on kharis and biden's camel and said that they dragged us into this war, now they don't know how to get out of this war, but someone told him that the russians had never lost to him, they won against hitler, they won against napoleon, we have already invested. 300 billion dollars in aid to ukraine, the amount is, of course, extremely overstated, the amount is much, much less, well, he repeated this thesis again, which he also said yesterday, speaking to voters in pennsylvania, that if he had been president, this war would not have happened, putin simply would not have dared, of course, it is difficult

to verify whether this fact cannot be verified, and he also said that biden had an opportunity to avoid this war if he had gone to the agreement with putin, but now, says trump. the country is destroyed, millions of people have died, they say that the true number is not reported, believes, believes donald trump, in in ukraine, only or, well, mostly very young or very old men are forced to fight, well, this is the first time that we have heard for the first time that donald trump thinks that zelensky is interested in the victory of kamela harris. i believe that zelensky is the best salesman in history, every time he comes to the country, he leaves with 60 billion dollars. he really wants them to win this election, but i would do it differently, i will achieve peace as the newly elected president before the inauguration, if i win this election, the first thing i will do is call zelensky and president putin, i

i'll say you have to make a deal, it's crazy. well, just last week jaydy vance made public or described, talked about... his own vision of how to end this war, the candidate for vice president during a radio show said that ukraine and russia should, let's say, stop military action on the line demilitarization, a demilitarized zone should be created there, he did not say who will patrol it, or on whose territory, on which territory exactly it will be located, and ukraine itself, this zone should remain permanent, that is, ukraine loses these territories, and also ukraine must undertake not to join nato and other alliances, of course it caused. a lot of criticism here, and among analysts and among representatives of the biden administration they said that this is actually the plan of the kremlin, and of course, president zelenskyi also reacted to it, it was very actively written about, he was very critical of this plan, he said that this is a terrible idea, it means that the war must end at the expense of ukraine,

ukraine must pay for it with its territories, but the war will not end, so what will it do, let's say, tell dictators around the world or whoever that you can take over territories. or seize mines, seize mines, because, because the rule of law, the rule of law no longer exists in the world, well, i also advised him to familiarize himself with the history of the second world war. here to the democratic party maria, is there any new dynamic on this issue in the presidential campaign in the democratic party? well, first of all, alexei, kamela harris' headquarters reacted to this plan of jaydee vance, they said that it was a surrender plan of ukraine, not a peace plan, and they also reminded of the thesis that kamela harris used at the debate that if the united states withdrew from ukraine, then putin would already be sitting in kyiv and looking further at other countries that he could conquer. at the same time, kamela garis herself did not use the concept: the victory of ukraine at these debates, and despite all these efforts of the biden administration, of which kamela garis is a part, they gave a lot of

help, but they did not talk about the concept of the victory of ukraine for months, they talked about what would happen to help as much as necessary, as much as they can, and finally today joe biden made such a big statement that the united states recognizes the victory of ukraine under fair conditions, at the same time, president biden also has his own plan, his own strategy regarding. and finally, on september 10 , the biden administration presented this plan to the american congress, my colleague kateryna lisonova asked congressmen and senators whether they knew about this plan and what its details were, many of them had not yet read it, but those who had read it said , what is it there is a good plan that they are happy with it. at the same time, oleksiy, if we talk about what is best for ukraine, whose victory will be best for ukraine, my colleague yulia yarmelenko asked about this from the democrat senator chris murphy, and he said that for ukraine... the date is unambiguous, colleagues , thank you very much,

maria ulyanovska and tetyana varyshko joined the broadcast. let me remind you that this is our special column, every tuesday we talk about the latest progress of the campaign in the usa. this week, the united states air force celebrated its 77th anniversary establishment. today, it is the largest air force in the world, which ensures the supremacy of the us armed forces in the air. to what extent they will be active in future conflicts, this issue was discussed at a security conference near washington. its participants were officers of the us air force, including former officers. one of the panels was called the war between ukraine and russia , a prelude to the coming conflict. mikolaga andriy borys listened to her. united states air force. more than 500 aircraft, the largest air. longing in the world, what provides armies with dominance in the skies, cover for ground forces, and maneuverability on

the battlefield. will the air force be able to maintain the superiority of the american army in the future? given the experience of russia's war against ukraine? this issue was discussed by military, active and retired participants at a security conference in the suburbs of washington. without air superiority for the united states, in the event of a conflict , a war like the... we were formed as an air force 77 years ago with the sole purpose of controlling the air for our people to protect us from attack, give freedom if we attack, freedom of maneuver. our task is to find out how to ensure this in the future, otherwise the question arises, why do we have an air force at all. achieving air superiority. it is an absolute imperative to gain the upper hand on the battlefield, otherwise you will see what we are already seeing in

ukraine, which is a transition to an attrition war of attrition, and not at all like that of the first world war. dominance in the air is reduced to tens of thousands drones from both sides in ukraine, says ex-commander of the us air force command in europe, geoffrey kharigyan. it cannot be said that there will be any specific platform that will solve this problem, there should be a discussion. about how to expand defense, how to integrate it across the force, and then make sure that we're not spending, you know, huge amounts of money to shoot down $20,000 drones with a multi-million dollar missile. the other day , the secretary of the us army announced large-scale investments of the defense budget in drones and means of defeating them. but for now no details the changes that are coming to the american defense industry are partially visible at the air show, which. going along with a security conference near washington, these are mock-ups of future drones

being worked on at the us air force research laboratory. we will be able to make them much cheaper than the traditional method we used to build high-end aircraft and even drones like the reaper or the predator. exactly how much the new drones will be cheaper is not yet known. for example, drone the riber, which the us air force partially uses instead of manned f-16 aircraft, costs more than $30 million, and only a few hundred were produced. the main idea of ​​new developments, he says. representative of the research laboratory of the air force to move to the mass production of aircraft, changing not so much the technology as the economic model of construction. in our case, it is not so much about creating a new aircraft, but about changing the way of designing and building an aircraft, trying

to use the experience of the automotive industry. industry the plane is built on a common chassis, body. from this plane can be used to build other planes and if you already have the chassis developed, all the costs that went into the development have already been paid. mass production and strengthening of the air force will be the best tool for deterring a potential enemy. he simply will not want to attack the usa or allies - say the participants of the conference. in the case of ukraine, when the enemy has already attacked, the only way to win is to give everything to kyiv. what is possible during operation borio desert no one came up to me and said reduce the ammo you have, which was 1250 rounds multiplied by four or five points a day. 10 years later, during an operation in afghanistan, they asked me to reduce the number of strikes, because we were running out of jdm guided bombs. at the same time, we dropped 7,800

bombs on only 20 points, which cannot be compared with the situation in ukraine. "i want weapons stockpiled in every theater of war. they don't have to call and ask for at least a timely delivery. i have to have an insatiable amount of ammo so that i can give hell to the enemies. according to charles corcoran, who served on the staff of operations of the us air force, america already has enough means to cut off the supply of weapons to the russians from its allies. we know when drones are sent from iran to russia. we know when missiles are being sent, we know when weapons are being shipped from iran to the houthis. we watch all this in the news, and then we wonder why ships are being shot at, why kyiv is being attacked, etc. so if you want to sit back and complain about drones and doing nothing about it politically, you're not going to solve the problem.

so this is not so much a matter of air superiority as a matter of policy. according to retired air force lieutenant general. by david deptula ukraine could protect itself from air attacks if it were allowed to strike deep into russia with western weapons. previously, the us government said that the problem was the limited number of attacks and the fact that russia had moved the aircraft beyond the atakams range. it's not just atakams, there's also the storm shadow missile. in the french have missiles for deep strikes. the most effective way is to destroy the price of this. and bombs before they can take off, i.e. at airfields. currently, putin manages to deter washington from providing more aid to ukraine with rhetoric about escalation, says the retired general. andriy borys, dmytro melnyk, voice of america, washington. an american couple runs a marathon every day on their way to the front line in zaporizhzhia. in this way, they

want to draw the world's attention to the war in ukraine. she met americans in khmelnytskyi tatiana kukarika. today in khmelnytskyi we meet american athletes who are traveling in support of ukraine. tyler and nicky chey came to ukraine from california, more than 10,00 km away. in america, they worked as real estate brokers. in the past, athletes, niki a football player, tyler borets. six months ago, the couple came to ukraine for the first time. that we are going here, my parents and tyler's parents are very worried, friends and family were afraid for us. in california, tyler and niki talked with ukrainian refugees. a meeting with them, theirs stories that touched our hearts. we cried together with people who lost someone, parents, families in which the father stayed here, and the wife and children ended up there. we were moved and

felt the need to come here. at the beginning of september. the chey couple arrived in ukraine for the second time, with the goal of running a supermarathon. it is very difficult and i believe that when you do something difficult, you need a reason why you are doing it. i have a feeling that i have a million refusals in my head, but our reason why we do this is for ukrainians, we see your pain, your torments, and it gives us strength when it is difficult. and um that gives us strength in those hard times. the pair will cover 1,200 km from the ukrainian border to the front line in zaporozhye, they started on september 6 and run 42 km a day (five days a week), that is, five consecutive

marathons a week, with two days of rest. i hope this will somehow help ukrainians. i try not to think about myself in this situation, it's hard for me and my wife, but the most important thing for us is to support the ukrainian people. i really hope that our marathon something. ukraine was organized by friends of the couple chey rayyan and mila pircher, rayyan accompanies the runners along the entire route on a bicycle. spouse bircher, heads of the reaching beyond ourselves charitable foundation from california. "with charity missions, rayyan and mila were in kenya, they came to ukraine for the first time six years ago, to mariupol. i first came to ukraine

with my wife in 2018, we found friends in mariupol, and when the full- scale invasion began in 2022, we felt that we should be here to be close to them, and that's why we here now the americans blog on the foundation's website and collect funds that will be given to the mariupol chaplain battalion. everyone in ukraine knows someone who needs help, people who lost their home, business, their land, their life, here... something rare, we can't help everyone, we help those we know, but we want to show that we with ukraine, we want to show ukrainians that there are people who support them. as part of the race

, americans will run approximately 30 marathons, they hope to remind americans that the war in ukraine continues, and ukrainians need help. tetiana kukuriyka, serhii repchynskyi, for the voice of america, from khmelnytskyi. on this we will say goodbye, see you soon! in march, there are discounts on magne b6 anti-stress, 15% in psyllanyk, bam and oskad pharmacies. in the latest edition of the magazine ukraine. mykola knyazhytskyi tells how russia turned its church into a dangerous weapon of influence. oleksandra matviychuk. emphasizes the importance of international justice in the case of russia's war crimes in ukraine. oleg sahakyan analyzes why government reshuffles work as they do
