are in such a mood because they, zelensky very much thanked, for example, donald trump for the fact that he still has this meeting, has the opportunity to convey the position of the ukrainian people and his plan for victory, donald trump, in turn, also thanked president zelensky for the fact that when donald trump was impeached in 2019, for the fact that he was accused of using president zelensky to his advantage in the pre-election campaign, he tried to use... and the president zelenskyi in his favor in the election campaign, and he then said, donald trump, said that president zelenskyi said that nothing, that donald trump did nothing wrong, and accordingly, that put an end to this whole story, according to donald trump, so he several times i very actively thanked president zelensky, but it was not possible to make such small jokes, you can now hear and see how the two presidents communicated. we have a very good relationship and i also have a very good relationship. relationship like you

you know, with president putin, and i think if we win, i think we'll resolve this very quickly, i hope we have a better relationship, and i see, but you know, two people tango, and also said, also the president zelensky already and during this, respectively, existence, after, as i already noted, with fox news journalists, he also spoke about the fact that he emphasized, yes, that we need a just peace, and accordingly, he said that this is a big a tragedy, and you could see how deeply donald trump was absorbed by the story, because he really is there, that is, it was seen more closely that he really wants to help ukraine, and also the president, for example, of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, he also thanked the world and, accordingly, the united states for their support and also reminded that ukraine. wants to organize

another peace summit, and he still hopes that the united states of america will be represented, accordingly, at this summit. stop irina, thank you, yes, indeed, different rhetoric, at the beginning of the week we heard one from donald trump, today it looks like other statements were from him. thank you, iryna solomko, you were in touch with us, we talked about the results of volodymyr zelenskyi's meeting with donald trump. we continue the topic with yulia yarmolenko, who followed volodymyr zelenskyi's other meetings with kamela garis and joe biden. now, i hope we can join julia with us here on the air from the white house. yulia, i congratulate you, thank you for joining. share the details of yesterday's meeting with kamra garis, were you present at it in person, what important did you hear there? of course, journalists were present at the public part of this meeting, it was already the seventh meeting of the ukrainian president with the american vice president, as he said.

ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy, hopefully not the last at this meeting, volodymyr zelenskyy presented his own plan for the victory of ukraine, also talked about the situation on the battlefield, in particular the operation in kursk region, and garis zelenskyy also discussed ways to achieve a just peace based on the principles of the un charter, and of course, before this meeting, kamela garis made public remarks in which she emphasized that she will... will continue to support ukraine without change and said that she will work to ensure that ukraine wins. unusually for this format, kamela harris also criticized her political opponent , donald trump. in particular, she did not call him by name, but criticized his previous remarks in which he said that even if ukraine has to cede some territory. it will still be better

agreement than continued war. she said that such offers are essentially an offer of surrender, which is unacceptable. later, donald trump also responded to this criticism in a conversation with journalists. let's actually listen to the words of presidential candidates kamela harris and donald trump. nothing about ending this war can be decided without ukraine. however, they say frankly. mr. president, there are some in my country who instead want to force ukraine to give up a large part of its sovereign territory, who will demand from ukraine to accept neutrality and abandon security relations with other countries? these proposals are the same as putin's proposals, and let's be clear, they are not proposals for peace, instead they are proposals for surrender, which is dangerous and unacceptable. this is not surrender, my strategy is to... save lives, i want to save

lives, millions of people are dead, millions more than they even think, and this is not my battle, but this is a battle to save humanity, this. .. a terrible war that would never happen. i i will say this: i believe that i will be able to conclude an agreement between president putin and president zelensky quite quickly. what will it look like? i don't want to tell you. yulia, president zelensky, as expected, was able to present his victory plan to donald trump, camila harris, as well as president joe biden, do you know what is in this plan and are you ready? the united states will support him. the last thing we know is that the ukrainian president presented this plan, but we don't know the details, and today white house communications adviser john kirby i was asked to comment on the actual plan in broad strokes. he said that this should be commented on by ukrainian

president volodymyr zelenskyi, but in general it is about concrete steps to strengthen ukraine in the coming months, but not only, but also to strengthen ukraine in the long term, when after... this war, so that such a war will happen again did not happen again, and john kirby was also asked whether the american president considered such a plan feasible, to which john kirby said that in the next few weeks the american the president and the ukrainian president will work hard to work out the details of this plan, and it looks like president zelensky and president biden will have an opportunity to check their clocks and talk about the possible implementation of this plan. already in the middle of october, because, as john kirby said, they should meet in germany then. in germany, the american president will convene a contact group with the defense of ukraine in mid-october, the so-called ramstein format, but this time at the level of heads of state, because once again, president biden is left with

four months of his presidency, and therefore he wants his political legacy not to be lost, to continue the theme of supporting ukraine, so the meeting will be dedicated to this, and it will be an opportunity to discuss this again. but ostape, as the topic of such possible territorial concessions resurfaced this week. it is also important, it is important to mention one remark: john kirby was asked the day before if there is anyone in the administration who believes that ukraine will have to give in at some stage after all their territories to achieve peace, to which john kirby said that it is up to the ukrainian people, the ukrainian president to decide, but the president of the united states has one vision. ukraine is ukraine, all of ukraine, and territorial integrity must be preserved and restored within internationally recognized frameworks. he said that when we look at the map of ukraine, we are not looking at what territories ukraine can cede, we are looking at how we can help ukraine regain its territories. let's

listen to this comment. we do not sit on maps of ukraine with markers and do not invent alternative scenarios, for example, maybe we could convince zelensky to exchange this for this? we do not play such games. when we sit and look at the map of ukraine, we try to understand the battlefield as it is now and try to anticipate the development of the situation and make sure that ukraine has what it needs to succeed on this battlefield. we have said from the beginning that we want internationally recognized borders to be fully respected and restored. it is about ukraine, all of ukraine, including... crimea, it belongs to ukraine. we want to see this result. these words are important, yuli, we will also wait for the publication of volodymyr zelensky's victory plan. returning to the topic of the visit, we know that it took place against the background of discontent among some republicans, in particular , the trip of the ukrainian president to the

ammunition production plant in pennsylvania. in the house of representatives, we remember, they even initiated an investigation into the circumstances of this trip and whether the administration of biden and garis were going to be reprimanded. you this trip to your advantage, yulia, do they respond to it somehow in the white house? today we heard a very direct and specific answer from the spokeswoman of the white house, karin jeanpierre, she said the day before that she wanted to clarify a few details: firstly, this visit to the factory, where very important ammunition for ukraine is produced, was initiated by the ukrainian side, second, when foreign leaders come to the united states, it is not news, it is common practice. such that the united states provides transport, because the question was precisely that the ukrainian president used a military aircraft of the united states in order to arrive at this plant. she said that this is common practice, and especially when the life of the ukrainian president is essentially in danger, because

she said putin wants to see zelensky dead. secondly, she says that this is not the first time that the ukrainian president goes on such a similar trip. a similar trip was also to the factory for the production of ammunition. in comfort, when volodymyr zelensky was here during the nato summit just a few months ago. then he met with the republican governor, with republican lawmakers, and none, she says, violated any. because of this visit, so the white house spokeswoman, karin jen pierre, called on the republicans in the house of representatives to leave these accusations political, and she said that it should be forgotten because it is a normal practice, there was nothing unusual about this visit, and therefore, ostap, it is very important that the white house communicated about this communication because it was a big topic this week and during the visit of the ukrainian president, of course yuli, thank you for this analysis and for your work, yuliya yaremolenko was with us to... communicate with bilogod. in addition to meetings with both candidates and the us president, volodymyr

zelenskyi also visited the us congress. meetings were held with representatives of both parties, both in the senate and in the house of representatives. and although speaker mike johnson did not appear, american lawmakers assured that bipartisan support for ukraine remains unchanged. our correspondent kateryna lisonova asked congressmen and senators what they talked about behind closed doors. we had a two-seater representation, an equal number of republicans and democrats, all people who are leaders in helping ukraine protect its territorial sovereignty. it was a great conversation with president zelensky. we all know him very well already, he spends a lot of time with us, which we appreciate, and he just gave us an update on the situation, he told us what 's going well, where there are challenges, what weapons are coming. to them, and which is still not, where he receives permission to use these weapons, where

not, who evades sanctions, who does not, therefore essentially a 360° multi- stakeholder update on casualties and missing persons, all for key decision-makers in the house of representatives. we had absolute agreement among republicans and democrats in that room that we need to give ukraine the ability to defend itself effectively, and that includes an exit. to the territory of russia to destroy weapons warehouses and strategic planning sites, because ukrainians die because of these facilities, so we must do it. by the way, atakams long-range missiles were included in the aid package, which voted in congress. we specifically used the word "must provide" and not can provide. and the administration should finally do it. the meeting had a positive character. there was bipartisan support for ukraine's success, which i consider extremely important. i think we

need to win this war. i believe that we need to protect the territorial integrity of ukraine and protect democracy. i think nato and the united states are committed to that. i think the free world is committed to that. allow me to note that support for ukraine is stable will receive more than 300 votes in the house of representatives, regardless of whether the speaker votes. zelensky arrived in washington after intense events during the un general assembly in new york. among other things, the ukrainian president met there with the prime minister of britain, keir starbor, and the minister of foreign affairs of the country, david lamy. in an exclusive interview with my colleague irina solomko, the minister assured: the position of great britain remains absolutely clear. we stand side by side with ukraine.

earlier you stated that allies must show courage at this crucial time for ukraine and lift restrictions on the use of long- range missiles provided by the west on the territory of the russian federation. and here at the un general assembly , many of your colleagues from different countries are present. have you had the opportunity to discuss this matter with, for example, the foreign minister of germany or the united states? it was very important for me to visit ukraine two weeks ago with state secretary blinken, to see everything with my own eyes, to discuss with the president zelenskyi's needs as the country heads into winter, and to make sure that we continue as allies to put ukraine in the strongest possible position to counter this aggression that we're seeing from vladimir putin, and that's why i'm also with . minister starmer visited the white house. the position of great britain continues to be

absolutely clear. we stand side by side with the ukrainians. it is important that ukraine has the funds, military, as well as political, diplomatic and humanitarian assistance to survive 2025. and of course, here at the un general assembly, i will meet with zelensky once again. but it's also extremely important that we rally the global south to make sure they don't fall into the trap. of russian propaganda and efforts of the russian federation to destabilize the international community, and also so that russia does not distract them from what it is actually doing, importing ballistic missiles for iran and using them. could you unofficial information that velika share the details of this meeting, because there is britain already very close to a decision to allow the ukrainians to use long-range missiles, moreover, the official permission is already there, but the usa is a little further from this decision, so can you share

with us any details of this conversation, and what exactly causes the usa's concern. i believe that it is very important for us in great britain, europe, and of course, the united states to understand the details of president zelensky's victory plan, and in a few days he will present him in detail as his closest ally. of course, i will not speculate on what is there, because i do not want to to give no favors to vladimir putin, but i really understand clearly that it is time for the western allies to show courage and courage because vladimir putin thinks that ... to distract us. he believes that we do not have enough patience to be with our ukrainian friends. that is why great britain has allocated 3 billion pounds so that ukraine can purchase and have all the necessary military equipment, not only this year, but every year as much as is needed. and this is what i told my colleagues, the foreign ministers of the countries groups of seven during our meeting. this is

the position that we have to provide to ukraine. so when do you think the partners can make this important decision regarding the lifting of restrictions on the use of western weapons for russian military purposes. we meet here at the un general assembly. i know that president zelensky is meeting with president biden a little later this week in washington. we also have the group of 20 meeting coming up, so i expect we'll have a very strong one over the coming days and weeks. to provide ukraine with everything necessary as we approach this harsh winter of 2025, and let me be clear about what i mean, all of our intelligence suggests that the situation for vladimir putin will be much more difficult as early as next year, his economy is in bad shape, he will it is very difficult to cope with the number of losses and casualties he suffered.

at the same time, when we look at what ukraine is doing, it has already managed to win back half of the captured lands, it has already managed to... knock putin out of the black sea, it has gone on the offensive in kursk oblast, and i hope will keep these positions. in fact, now is the moment, as we move from autumn into winter, when the west must demonstrate its courage and absolute commitment. but what is this red line for leaders who oppose allowing the west to use its missiles to strike deep into russia. that it could lead to world war iii, that putin could use nuclear weapons against the west or ukraine, what are you hearing from people who are concerned about that? according to of the un charter and article 51, we clearly understand that ukraine has the right to defend itself against these horrific attacks by russia, and we

will do everything possible within the framework of international law and the rules of engagement to support and defend ukraine. you recently stated that the war is likely to last at least two more years, it has already been going on for more than 2.5 years, it is very exhausting for the ukrainian economy, for the western economy, for everyone, do you think ukraine can survive for another two years in such conditions and whether the event will be able to to support ukraine for so long? let's talk. literally the war could end tomorrow if putin withdraws his troops then it will be over, leave ukraine, but in the absence of putin having any desire to negotiate, we should continue to support ukraine, because the price of not supporting ukraine would be much higher financially , because then defense costs would increase significantly for all western allies, and the baltic border would be very

vulnerable to putin's threats, so we stand with ukraine as long as it takes, i... i'm sure we'll make it. of course, this war will be resolved only politically. this also brings us back to the security guarantees that ukraine needs. and we in the united kingdom have always believed that ukraine's path to joining nato is a very important dimension of these security guarantees. it was an interview of iryna solomko with the minister of foreign affairs of britain david lamy, see it as well and read it on the platforms of voice of america ukrainian. the topic is aid to ukraine from the union. the states are far from the only thing that resonates in the political rhetoric in these elections. politicians from both parties question the effectiveness of existing laws that regulate freedom of speech on the internet, although their positions differ somewhat. tatyana voroshko and met dibble investigated how kamela harris and donald trump see this issue. wouldn't you like to apologize for what you did? if

there's one thing america's major political parties agree on, it's that social media companies need to change the way they operate. and whoever becomes the owner of the white house will most likely strive to achieve this goal. if you don't have freedom of speech, then you simply do not have it. on his company's website, republican donald trump claims that the right to free speech guaranteed by the first amendment to the us constitution is being violated by some social media companies. after the january 6 attack on the us capitol, trump himself was temporarily banned by some sites from publishing posts. after my inauguration as president, i will ask congress to send to my desk a bill to revise section 230 to free the major online platforms from censorship. section 230 which is part of the act on decency in communications in 1996 was fundamental in creating

the internet as we know it today, says brandy nonicky, director of the technology policy lab at uc berkeley. it effectively enables platforms to moderate and remove content without risk of liability. now we often hear that these platforms are disrupting the first. amendment, however , the first amendment only applies to government suppression of speech. the platforms themselves are private entities, and they themselves have first amendment rights. the previous ones efforts to revise section 230 have failed. after trump's accounts were banned in 2021, florida and texas, both predominantly republican states, passed laws limiting the ability of social media companies to regulate political posts on their sites, but this... vicious laws were suspended when the supreme a us court ruled that media companies have the right to make editorial decisions without government interference. it was

a hotbed of hatred for the rohingya refugees. politicians from the democratic party often accuse social media companies of allowing too much harmful speech on their platforms. in 2022 , vice president garis created. is normalized in society, and for the internet, which some might say, becomes inevitable for users in a certain way. for now, the right of social media companies to control the content on their sites remains in force, but for many politicians and citizens this issue remains. download the voice of america mobile application. the application allows you to automatically
