i connect this including with internal political, again american affairs, where it is possible, if we even gave us such a permission now, then perhaps it would be, it would not be beneficial for certain political forces within america for their internal rhetoric, but i hope that when the elections in the united states are soon and one of the candidates finally becomes president, we will have more clarity, but i am convinced that after all ... there will be such a permission, i would also like to respond to that what serhiy said, regarding now is a good time for negotiations, because we may still lose something, well , we must not forget that putin does not take the negotiations seriously and he wants to take 100% of everything for himself, kursk really gives us the opportunity of certain additional arguments in the future negotiations. but without international

support, russia will not do anything, that's why we need this coalition, which we constantly talk about very broadly and very specifically, we really need to strengthen it, and we are doing this now, and of course the military assistance that we need now in this winter, recently i spoke with military experts, i am not a military expert, and i realized for myself that, for example, we have equipment for... for the winter, we have a lot of it, which for me is a very important argument, that is, we have to continue , to regain our territories, unfortunately, sometimes we lose some territories, but we hope that this is only temporary, and that our strategic movements to return more of our territories, including those that we are currently losing, we will be able to get them. strategic movements,

strategic movements, i call it that very often in military affairs, if, for example, you lose one village, but you control everything around this village, then it is not so terrible, if it is possible to regain it after some time, i hope that we will have enough resources to return it, but i repeat, without international support, unfortunately, it will be very difficult for us, and the fact that different political elites in the world are changing now, and they are actually, it is not that they are tired from the war, in what they have just different interests, and they want ukraine not to be the topic that everyone is talking about, and we must understand that it is not only about fatigue, but about the fact that simply, well, we can be, we can't, we can't are interesting to them, or they, on the contrary, are interested in russia, this is a separate topic for conversation. thank you, sergey, you said that

it is time to change the course, it is time to look at the situation realistically, could you elaborate in which direction to change the course and what it means to look at the situation realistically, to whom and what ukraine has to offer now, and the main thing is how to explain these proposals to your society, if we are talking about the ukrainian government, which for a long time in a row talks about a single goal, the exit to the borders. in 1991, and people, we see, support it in sociology. well, i agree with my opponent, if you can call it that, because to some extent we agree on something. but i agree that putin is really not interested in international negotiations with the international support of ukraine. so i think now is a great opportunity to appeal to china, which has offered, yes, we know his six steps. among which the first is

a ceasefire, if we stop the fire now, when we control part of the donetsk region and part of the kursk region, then it will be a freeze, which is not beneficial for putin, it will actually be a defeat for putin, and why is it not beneficial, he will use time will prepare, well , firstly, we will use the time and prepare, secondly, i think that our partners, the west, who do not want a repeat of the hot phase of the war, will support us with weapons. to give an opportunity to create some kind of armed parity, yes, so that putin does not attacked us again, because putin will attack ukraine when he sees that it is weak, as it was in the year 22, if he sees that he can get a decent response, including on the territory of the russian federation, what he is very afraid of, ah, then he simply will not attack, that is, this freeze will be for a long time, which will allow us and our western partners to prepare, and once again i am... i also communicate,

well, mainly with western analysts , and they also tell me that we are not just tired, we already have nothing to give physically, just no exhausted resources, no one prepared for... for this war, so i think we need time to prepare for this war seriously, not the way we have been doing it, but to the people that we have to say that we are, or we lose , as now, or we appeal to china, by the way, it is not a fact that putin will agree, yes, but then he will not agree to the chinese plan, and this will already be mr. xiu’s problem, and he will no longer be able to pretend that he neutral country, and he is there for peace, because his strategic partner and friend. give up ceasefire, i.e. from the chinese plan, at least this card must be played, it is you about this sino-brazilian plan, in which it seems that even hungary already wants to join, so i think that elizaveta will at least

win time, and now, well, i won't tell everything, i'm sorry, we probably turned off the microphone to elizaveta, you objected, you don't agree, no i'm not in favor of... i misheard, i said that switzerland has also joined, is joining this plan, and in fact , it is really necessary to use all cards. in us have their own plan, they have their own plan, if we come to something between these plans and there are indeed certain agreements, in any case it must be used, and right now is the time when, if there are any peaceful plans, it is necessary to put them on the table, and really in the coming weeks, months... to move forward on this, but it seems to me that the position of the president's office was such that there is only one peace plan, it is volodymyr zelenskyi's plan, which consists of 10 points, there are formulas peace, of course, this is our plan, but we are ready to talk about other plans, we will not give up on

all our points, but this is diplomacy, this is negotiations, we must understand that, for example, on such a point we may be able to... have negotiations, but on the point, for example, the return of our military -captives, there can be no compromises here, i think that in any case now is the best time for such plans, so that we know about them, and if some countries like china or brazil do not want to join ours, fine , let them act as certain, well, not mediators, but certain platforms for... talking about peace, let's see what comes out of it, we will not subscribe to something that does not suit us, but we appreciate anyone who is willing to offer us a hand to negotiate, including how now trump was saying that he

can talk to putin, we need to use that, sergey, you wanted to add something, just to point out that, for example, if we now accept the chinese... and start a diplomatic process under the condition of a mandatory ceasefire, which is the first point of the chinese plan, but it does not mean that we are abandoning our plan, from zelenskyi's 10 steps, because this is a strategic goal of ukraine, the return of territories, and the chinese plan, by the way, does not provide for the recognition of russia's annexation of ukrainian territory, and this should also be used, so let's say, realistically, a strategic goal , it remains the same, zelenskyi’s plan remains, but as far as we can implement it today, well, i think it is unrealistic today in the conditions that have developed today, but to use the plan of the si da, and the brazilians for a pause, for receiving

pause and preparation for, so to speak, strengthening of our defense capacity, this should be done today and... i believe that he is quite suitable for this. i have another question that was raised in this publication anyway, it was about the fact that the goals of ukraine and the west in the war are unrealistic, that ukraine should change its goals, but the west should not stand aside either, it should provide support to ukraine , he should in every possible way contribute to the production of ukrainian weapons, and he should, here they appealed more to joe biden, to invite ukraine to nato, with the condition that, for example, the fifth article of the treaty will not apply to the occupied territories, germany is mentioned as an example, which was divided after the second world war, and in the end one part of germany joined nato, the other some time remained under occupation. of course, this is not a proposal, it is only an outline, yes an editorial from the economist, but

what do you think about such a proposal, how realistic it would be from the partners' side and acceptable from ukraine's side, elizaveta. i repeated more than once that the what we can actually receive from nato now, based on specific cooperation, almost like membership, for example. the protection of a part of our sky in order to defend our territory together with our neighbors, for example, poland. i understand, of course, that it is impossible to do it in all territories of ukraine, it is impossible to do it, for example, really now in the east, but in the west it is 100% possible, but it is impossible to divide ukraine into some separate statuses, it is very dangerous from a point of view. international law, we have seen some recently very controversial statements, including, for

example, unfortunately, sikorsky said about the possible status of crimea there, we cannot allow this, crimea is ukraine, and in all international norms we must defend it, but when we talk about a specific cooperation with nato, i think that what i said is quite quite real. and further after that, i really think that we can become members of nato. serhii, what do you say about the fact that the fifth article is distributed only in the territory controlled by kyiv agreement, and would it be accepted for ukraine? i think it would be great for ukraine if we were invited to join nato now, but i think it's unrealistic. we know that, well, if they are afraid to give us weapons, sorry, here they are suddenly. actually fits into our war, then it is completely unrealistic, but it would be, it would be a good idea, it would be a good

idea, if without the occupied territories we were invited, well, we have experience in the same article, an economist, yes, it talks about the gdr or something communist germany, for which this norm did not extend, and this did not prevent anything after the reunification of the country to extend this norm to the entire territory. germany, once again, we need a pause now, we just need to understand this, so when elizabeth says that we should not give or disagree, i immediately have a question, and we can disagree or not give, but when we now we are losing de facto, well, sorry, we are losing territory every day, we can, that is, we must still leave reality and not, removing the strategic goal, win. time and to find real opportunities for cooperation

with our western partners, i think once again, they will be interested in us being strong, so that the war does not repeat itself in the form in which it is now, this is the first, the second, i will just remind, all nato , nato, israel is not a member of nato, but israel lives surrounded by enemies from all sides, yes, a small country, but it dictates the conditions of the game in the middle east today. east, therefore, well, i wouldn't make a fetish out of it, yes, we have a goal written in the nato constitution, but it can take a long time to reach it to go, in principle, if this, well, it is not profitable for us today, let's say so, yes, therefore, if this stoltenberg's idea works, well, i think it would be very nice, but this is fantastic in my opinion, uh, in my the last question is for elizaveta, you and i once talked about volodymyr zelenskyi's victory plan... and you said that he initially planned to present it in washington, but

he did not even share it with the deputies from the specialized international affairs committee. well, now yarmak says that maybe they will partially share with the people of ukraine with this plan. maybe you have already seen elizaveta as a people's deputy from a specialized committee. i haven't seen it yet because i'm currently in strasbourg and brussels. i think that this question will most likely become known to us in part, to... our society in the coming days, maybe next week, i hope so myself. we also hope, because it seems to me that it is already time. thank you very much, yelyzaveta yasko, people's deputy from the servant of the people, and the people and holo, and deputy, member of the committee on foreign affairs politicians, and also serhiy garmash, journalist and editor-in-chief of the internet publication ostrov, a former member of the tripartite contact group in minsk, we talked about the publication and everything that is laid out in the publicationist, which is among other things. says that ukraine needs to change the course of the war. thank you very much. we have

nothing is known about the fate of the girls since the beginning of the full-scale invasion. until february 20, 4 , 2022, they lived in luhansk, but since then there is no information about their whereabouts. so please, if you know anything about emelina and angelina polushenykh, immediately report to the hotline child tracing service at number 116 30. if you are unable to call, for example, you are under occupation, you can write to us on facebook, insta. or to the chatbot of the child search service in telegram and i want to draw the attention of the residents of the temporarily occupied territories, we guarantee your anonymity. and once again, we want to share with you the encouraging story of the search for six-year-old mysh melnyk, which once again proves that it is possible to find a child even in the most difficult,

seemingly hopeless situations. so, we have been looking for a mouse since march 2000. on the 22nd of the year and for a long time there was no news about him. we made many programs about the search for the boy, told his story and asked you to report any information you know about mishka. and when it seemed that there were almost no chances left, a witness wrote in a telegram to the chatbot of the children's search service, who said that he knew the whereabouts of mysh melnyk. this is the message we received. let's see. mishko is in kindergarten, in the village of hrychyshkino, his grandmother brings him there, we have photos. we clarified the details with the witness, and he confirmed that the boy was allegedly staying. in the occupied village of grechyshkine and goes to kindergarten. we were also sent a photo and even a video with the boy. kindergarten in the village of hrychyshkino. it is located right at the school.

he is alone there, his name is teremok. we congratulate you on the holiday. and this is a photo that we had for almost two years of searching. compared to the ones he sent us. witness, the boy is indeed very similar in both photos. we were also helped in the search by osin specialists who search for information in open sources. they managed to find classmates of mysh melnyk's probable mother's page in the russian social network. here she is, and here she is with little mouse. and this is a photo of a boy at a slightly older age. by the way, the last photo of mishka was posted by his mother on her page in february 2000. on the 23rd of the year, so, judging by the message of the witness, the photo and video that he provided, as well as the social network of the boy's mother, everything indicates that fortunately

everything is fine with myshko melnyk, and he is probably in the village of grechyshkine, luhansk region, under occupation. of course, we wrote to my mother the mouse is on the social network, but they have not yet received a photo or video confirmation from the woman that the boy is real. together with her, so i am asking everyone, especially the residents of the occupied village of hrychishkina in the luhansk region. if you see this program, please check whether myshkomelnyk really studies in the teremok kindergarten. if possible, take a photo or video of him and his mom and send it to us in the chatbot of the child search service in telegram. you can also contact us by the short number 11630. calls from everyone. mobile operators in ukraine free of charge we have created a resource where you can report any crime against a child. in any city, at

any time. just go to the site and report, and we will launch all possible mechanisms to punish the criminal. stopcrime ua. welcome to voice of america in ukraine and our program chess time. my name is ostap yarysh. the minister of foreign affairs of the group of seven made a statement in support of ukraine and its territorial integrity. the statement was published on the second anniversary of russia's declaration of illegal occupation of parts of donetsk region, luhanch. kherson oblast and zaporizhzhia. the representatives of the group of seven, which are canada, france, germany, italy, japan, great britain, the united states and the european union, declared that they stand by

ukraine and defend its independence. the country urged other states to encourage russia, a permanent member of the un security council, to adhere to the un charter and the basic principles that underlie the international order. meanwhile, the far-right freedom party won the elections in austria. she won 29% of the vote. representatives of this party are eurosceptic anti-immigration rhetoric. they also emphasize neutrality when it comes to the response to the russian war against ukraine. what does the victory of the austrian freedom party mean for the prospects of assistance to kyiv. let's talk with our european correspondent bohdan tsyupin. bohdan, i congratulate you. greeting. bohdan, to begin with , let's understand. does the victory of the freedom party mean that it will now have the opportunity to form the austrian government, eh? its leader to become chancellor of the country accordingly. yes, ostap, you just used the word victory, and in fact, the far-right austrian

freedom party also calls itself the winner, this is truly an unprecedented result for this party, 29%, but yesterday, in fact, in the evening, when it was already clear what the results were, the results of the elections in austria, he spoke. the president of austria, a very respectable, respectable 80-year-old politician, alexander vanderbelen, and he emphasized a very important aspect, he said that a party that does not get 50%, that is, a party that does not have a majority in the parliament, does not have an automatic the right to form a government, i.e. 29%. party of freedom it of course, it is a huge achievement for that party, but they do not have a majority in the parliament, so in order to form a government, they need partners, and now

the question has arisen: who would actually like to form a government with such a party and who would agree to the fact that the party was the leader of the coalition and that its leader herbert kickle was the chancellor. so far , all the leading parties, the parliamentary parties of austria, have said that they do not want to cooperate with the far-right freedom party. so, at the moment, the chances that the government will lead, in general. and this party very much small, although negotiations are just beginning, coalition talks in austria. these details are very important for understanding, bohdan. nevertheless, will these results, the results of these elections, affect austria's position in relation to ukraine? we know that, of all the european countries, austria has so far taken, let's say, a very restrained position, and if i'm not mistaken, has not provided military aid to kyiv. let's not forget that austria

is a country that... which is a member of the european union, but it is not a nato country, that is, it is a state that declares its neutrality or neutrality for a long time, and when it came to supporting ukraine, let's not forget that austria, as a member of the european union, introduced sanctions, and as a member of the european union, it contributes to european funds that go to help. in ukraine, in particular military, but on a bilateral level, on a direct level, austria provides only humanitarian aid, and for example, a british political scientist with whom i spoke today emphasizes that it is precisely this aspect that is used by this far-right freedom party in order to actually cover his sympathies for the kremlin and to justify his reluctance to help ukraine and defend itself. i

wouldn't say they have a deep cultural attachment to russia, they really like self-critical, strong rulers, and they think that's the ideal for organizing society or protecting values ​​that they think are important, i don't think russia can count on on their loyalty, it is now a criticism of the government to accuse it of threatening austrian neutrality. austria, on the one hand, is officially neutral. but she is a member of the eu and implements the decisions of the european union. so it is a paradox that countries like austria and ireland are officially neutral, but in reality they are members of a bloc that acts as a geopolitical player. and the contradiction is that neutrality is presented as something that preserved the peace and freedom of austria during the cold war. it is still valued as a cultural dimension of austrian society. and taking the side of ukraine in this war, some austrians consider it a threat.

interesting, bohdan, thank you, we will follow the development of events in austria. bohdan tsyupin, our european correspondent was in touch with us. we continue with other topics. russia is trying to spread its influence not only in europe, but also in asian countries, in particular in india. citizens of this country are lured to russia, and later taken to the army and sent to fight against ukraine. our next story is about one such man. in the end, he managed to return. home, but only after the intervention of the prime minister of india. for more details, let's see further. for eight months, 32-year-old azad yusuf kumar from poshuanu village, in to the indian state of jammu and kashmir, was desperate to return home and leave the russian army. he says that he was lured to russia by deception, offering a job. he responded to an online ad for a job as a security assistant in moscow.

he signed the contract in russian. without translation. three days after arriving in moscow, kumar says he and six other indian nationals were taken to an undisclosed location, given russian military uniforms, and the men underwent military training. i was injured already during the first week of studies. i was hospitalized. after recovering a little, i looked for my friends and countrymen and learned that they had been sent to the war zone with the egyptians and nepalese. kumar says that he is in the russian army. he dug trenches, built bunkers in the east and south of ukraine, worked without days off, without enough food and water. i have no words to describe my suffering. we did not think about the difficulties, our only motive was to stay alive and return home. kumar's family was horrified by his wanderings and asked for help from the ministry of external affairs of india and the parliament, when the prime minister...
