missiles and drones over ukraine, as they do with israel, can the us and allies help ukraine with this, if it is possible with israel, why can't they do it with ukraine? i appreciate the question, but we are talking about two very different landscapes and battlefields. at the very beginning, when russia invaded ukraine, the president instructed this ministry to provide ukraine with the necessary on the battlefield. they use anti-aircraft defenses or other means of return very successfully. her territory, minister austin just had a telephone conversation with mr. umirov to get new information about the combat situation and better understand if they need new means and what exactly. the president has pledged that the united states will not have a military presence in ukraine, but we support ukraine in its efforts to regain its sovereign territory. shooting down a whole, say, from polish or romanian territory would be considered a military presence in ukraine. it would

involve us in the war in a different way. we now believe that ukraine was able to successfully defend itself against russian attacks on their cities, their population and their infrastructure, and we will continue to provide the necessary support for this. joe biden visited a critical. for the presidential race in the state of georgia, where he assessed the damage from hurricane gayle. the president assures the victims that the government will help them recover from the storm, which is already being called historic. according to the latest information, the hurricane killed at least 215 people. kateryna lisynova will tell more about its consequences and potential impact on the presidential race. hurricane gayle devastated the american southeast. in about 200

people died in six states, the largest number of victims since hurricane katrina in 2005. hurricane helen devastated central and southern georgia. we have severe power outages, even though our power companies are operating at full capacity. in this florida community, many people were already living in temporary housing. after last year's hurricane in italy destroyed their city. you feel broken, as if recovery is easy. impossible, you feel like it's the end of normal life the end of your city, your community. president joe biden sought to reassure those people by visiting hurricane-ravaged florida and georgia on thursday. i see you, i hear you, i grieve with you and i promise we will support you, we will stay until you recover. the president is currently assessing the areas affected by the hurricane and floods, both from the air and... on the ground, this is the second day

of visits to the affected states, the day before biden also visited north and south carolina, a thousand will join the aid of the victims, by order of biden of military personnel, rescue teams are also already working there, vice president and democratic presidential candidate kamela garis visited the state of georgia. residents of this community and region, you should know that we are with you for a long time. rival in the presidential election donald trump visited georgia a few days earlier, the republican candidate accused the biden administration of not providing the necessary aid to the affected states, instead, the republican governor of georgia thanked the federal aid to his state. kateryna lisonova, petsiv akusvara, voice of america, washington. former presidents and presidential candidate donald trump are back in georgia today to assess the damage caused by the hurricane. local officials will hold

an informational briefing for him and for state gov. brian kemp. this will be the first appearance of the politicians together in several years. camp endorsed trump in august despite years of tension between the two after the governor refused to participate in efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 georgia election. of the year, which trump lost to president biden by a narrow margin. like 2020, this year georgia will be one of the decisive states in the presidential election. the latest polls show that this year donald trump and kamela harris are almost neck and neck. ostap yarysh will continue the topic. georgia gov. brian kemp and vice presidential candidate jaydee vance shared the stage at a recent campaign event in the state, showing the unity of the republican party after a long feud between gov. kemp and former president donald trump trump. we want to start over. georgia's dorothy harp isn't worried about trump-kemp feuding over the election. 2020, when

trump falsely claimed to have won the state, she is more concerned about the economy. we had lower prices for food, fuel, energy, everything happened under the trump administration. the best with this message, dorothy harp goes door to door encouraging members of her community to vote. i have met many young voters who say they will vote for trump. in the 2020 election , joe biden defeated donald trump in georgia by a margin of just over 1,100 votes out of nearly 5 million. these numbers are well known to republican governor kemp. he urged the audience, including doro, to vote in this election. we can't take anything for granted... the margin in this year's race between donald trump and kamela harris is also very small. sometimes people are left out, thinking their voice doesn't matter, but we need

to make sure everyone knows their voice counts. listen, every voice counts. aleja grace represents the defense organization voting rights in georgia, whose workers walk from door to door. to the door to encourage voters to register. we specialize in working with black people across the state to make sure they have all the tools they need to vote. a 2020 pure research center study found that black voters make up a third of the general electorate in georgia. according to exit polls in the last election, 88% of black voters voted for biden, but the latest polls show that the democrats are losing ground in this struggle both sides understand that their way lies through georgia. when the choice was between biden and trump, elijah grace noticed a lack of enthusiasm among potential voters. but since the democrats switched candidates, we've seen a significant increase in support for vice president kamela harris.

bernice king, the daughter of civil rights leader martin luther king jr., says kamela harris is reaching out to voters who may have thought to stay away. frankly, like women. i think we're going to see more and more women coming out this season in leading management positions. dorothy harp also takes the initiative into her own hands. she is working to get more people to support donald trump because of concerns about inflation and the cost of living. i have already promised to bring so many of my acquaintances to the precinct. i tell them, if you can't get there yourself, i'll bring you. in georgia, precincts open for early voting on october 15. ostabish, kane farabaugh, voice of america. polish defense minister władysław kosiniak-kamysh said that he will block ukraine's accession to the european union until the issue of exhumation of the bodies and memory of the victims of the volyn tragedy will not be resolved. he admitted that the president of poland has a different opinion. andrzej duda stated that whoever will block ukraine's accession to the eu is part of

putin's policy. earlier this week , the ukrainian institute of national remembrance announced that it plans to search for the remains of the victims of the volyn tragedy next year. in poland it was called a step in the right direction, but emphasized that they want to see concrete actions rather than statements. how historical are the disputes between poland and ukraine may affect military aid now and ukraine's euro-atlantic aspirations in the future. we will talk about this with bohdan tsyupin, who researches this topic. hello, bohdan. greeting. bohdan, what is the essence of this dispute and why is it so important for poland that ukraine conducts an examination of the bodies of the victims of the volyn tragedy. we are talking about a fairly wide circle of history. disputes between ukraine and poland, or between certain circles in ukraine and poland, and the events in volyn during the second world war, around 1943, are such the loudest, or those that lie on

the surface. in fact, in poland they also talk about other disputes, or rather different views on inter-ethnic conflicts in the lands that are now the territory of ukraine, in ukraine they say that there is also the issue of crimes committed against ethnic ukrainians in the lands that are now part of poland, ethnic cleansing, the so-called vistula operation. meanwhile, as politicians in poland take it up, issues of historical, so to speak, controversies, in ukraine, rather, voices are heard that this issue is untimely and that choven, so to speak say, you don't need to sway, especially in this difficult time, and in particular , the former director of the institute of national memory of ukraine, and now deputy

volodymyr vyetrovych, told voice of america about this, so i would like some voice from polish, from ukrainian to be heard side, maybe in a joint one, well, on the subject, excuse me, calm down, now is not the time. in order to raise the issue of the past conflict and use it to spoil relations now, because this is how war is now, we are often told, even you quoted, that... colleagues believe that we do not fully understand our western neighbors, they also obviously do not fully understand us, given the conditions under which this pressure is exerted, that is , we, we do not live in the conditions of a peaceful poland at all, each of us with whom we enter into this dialogue, he does not know whether he will survive until the evening, that is, these are completely different conditions, and when in such conditions, instead of hearing about some kind of support, or even just not hearing any demands, when we hear from our western neighbors that you have to look at our history as we see fit,

well, excuse me, but it reminds us very much of the same thing that we heard from the east, that is why it is obvious that this is so painfully perceived right now, exactly in the conditions of the war in which we are now we live bohdan, i just have a question about time, the historical disputes between poland and ukraine have been going on for more than one decade, some for more than one century, why did they get a new lease of life just now, and didn't russia join in on this? so, the controversy. continue always and continue, for example, between germany and poland, there are territorial disputes between austria and italy, this is ultimately normal, but it is obvious that during the war, they are particularly painful, especially for ukrainians. as for russia, there is no doubt that russia is trying to bring poland and ukraine into conflict, because... let's take it even at the highest level, the head of the russian national defense council

, nikolai patroshev of national security, in may 22 made a statement that poland, they say, has already begun the occupation, the conquest of western ukraine, while the russians were advancing in the east. we also know about other statements, what appears in the russian mass media, which pushes through. in the so-called internet networks, the fact that russia wants poland and other states to quarrel with ukraine and help it less is obvious and indisputable. bohdan, can historical controversies actually affect poland's aid to ukraine and kyiv's european integration aspirations in the future? the concrete steps of ukraine's accession to the european union have not yet been reached. therefore, even looking ahead, you can say that it is certain, if it is now

politicians who are ready to adopt these slogans and earn political points, then there will probably be such in the future, that is, certain political forces in poland and possibly in hungary can create obstacles, so this is probably not surprising, although poland has understanding of the strategic importance of partnership with ukraine, at least at the highest level and at... for example, a polish analyst, a representative of the government institute of foreign affairs, danil sheligovskyi told me that until now in poland, the elites could divide temporary, or even separate issues of historical disputes and the importance of strategic partnership with ukraine, and he expressed hope that it will continue to be so. yes, i think we can do it because we have done it before. strategic vision, cooperation on international security policy, when it comes to

strategic issues, they have always moved along a parallel path, separate from the disputes over the issues of history. so, until now, we, poland and ukraine, have been happy with this. we have more or less effectively walked the line between disputes, temporary problems and what is really important. it is so now, and it will be so in the future. it will not change, even if we return to controversy. i would say that... that the polish approach is changing on certain issues and we will be more transactional than before, but i don't think, i really don't believe that this will overshadow the strategic issues that are really important. so, this is what this polish analyst thinks, he also admitted that, in his opinion, that period of such enthusiasm and unreserved, unreserved support of ukraine, which... was observed in february and later in the 22nd year, when poland opened its

borders to millions of ukrainian refugees, when poland was one of the first to unconditionally provide all possible help to ukraine so that ukrainians could protect, in particular, kyiv from the russian offensive and start an effective defense, he believes that that period... of such, such a stressful situation , has obviously passed, and now he is talking about the so-called transactionality, that is, what will surely happen in poland more and more often. talk about the fact that we are helping ukraine, so we can expect something in return from ukraine, and these political discussions will probably obviously continue, we will hear various disputes, the only thing that is important is that again this does not spoil the important strategic relations of the two countries. of course, thank you

very much, bohdan, our european correspondent, bohdan tsyupin, was in touch from london. jonathan markey was born in the usa, but at the age of six he moved to ukraine with his parents, now he himself is the father of six children, and despite the full-scale war, he and his wife decided to stay in ukraine. why the large family of americans decided continue building your life in ukraine, where the war continues - say tetyana kukuriyka and serhiy repchynskyi. it was announced that you were and are, and there is hope in you, god, take care of yourself, lead to those who are broken. john markey was born in the state of indiana, in a family of christian missionaries, in addition to him, there were seven more children in the family. in 1992, the family

moved to ukraine. just. the soviet union collapsed and dad went with a group of shepherds to see what it was like . they went to russia and ukraine, and dad called mom from kyiv and said: we are coming to kyiv. in kyiv, jonathan received a musical education, at a young age he decided that, like his father, he would become a pastor and serve in ukraine. 1 2 3 4 i just entered a music school there, then a conservatory and due to various circumstances there, due to loans with various people, i just realized that my place is in ukraine, my wife somehow had her own way, john's wife stephanie

is also american, she from the state of florida. stephanie was a volunteer and helped organize a summer camp for children from large families in the rivne region. jonathan was a translator. in 2007, the couple got married, and in 2008 they moved from kyiv to ternopil. now the couple is raising six children. we did such a homeschool for a while. with them, that is, home school, it was according to the american program, now they are all in a ukrainian school, the older ones, katya and george, are in a comprehensive ordinary school, and the three, after them, in a private school, also ukrainian. at home, marky's family speaks

english, in the environment they use ukrainian, this is how, john recalls, his parents communicated with the children, now in ukraine john's brothers live, sisters in america and jordan, mother in georgia. in the 21st year , the last time we all gathered in america, and... well, almost all of us in the 22nd, right after the invasion, many of our brothers and sisters came to ukraine to help, or some were in hungary, in poland, there with a humanitarian woman, that is, a lot of people connected, well, i just didn't, the full-scale invasion of russia found john waiting at tego, the connection

was lost, the first thing i thought about in this regard was about the children, uh... and about their safety, well, that morning, i remember, just watching how they are sleeping, and there is not even a clue what is happening, yes, and here is the feeling, the burden of some kind of responsibility, so what, what, what to do so that they would be, that they would be safe, jonathan took his wife and children for border, returned to ukraine himself and helped deliver humanitarian aid. these first months were difficult, i wanted to help as much as i could, but i understand, i understood that there is a lot,

a lot i can't do in terms of coordinating, thinking, there, then i just say, so sit me there, tell me where, what , yes, that is, more like a driver or something support, in october 2022 the family returned. we returned to ukraine, partly even because of the children, that is, this stability for them, that is, they did not want to see anything at all, nothing to talk about, only about ternopil, they wanted to return home. in 2017, john founded the band rumfomu. at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia , musicians supported ukrainian refugees abroad with concerts, organized charity events in ukraine, where... are the funds for the military, this is such an open band, there are several, we are all friends, and for sure that this is the most important thing, uh, and there are, i don’t know, three

different drummers, there are different bassists, vocalists, that is, there is no one line-up, but it’s just who, when they can, and yes, probably what... the most important thing for us, this is exactly this communication, to inspire each other, yes, in creativity, and to create together, angels sing, christ is not glorified, to all peoples, a wonderful novice, for jonathan two cultures are native, american and ukrainian, the first is the culture of the family, the second - the environment, my children grow up like this, yes, where, if, in fact they are americans, uh, what about them, but for them america

is enough, this is a foreign land, and they feel more at home here, but the fact that they are exactly at home, with their parents, and, that is, uh, has its own culture, but the fact that it is another culture creates this dynamic of a third culture, in 32 years, john recalls, he did not stay in america longer than four months, this is enough, he says, to understand that ukrainian culture is closer to him, my friend and i are in the car in america, we are driving and he pulls out something there, a sneaker or something, says do you want i'm like that and no, no, thank you, and he took it and ate it, i was unexpectedly offended even for myself ...
