ukraine and the ukraine people make the revolution. we find somebody who -- the government in --. we find that somebody that can use islam to destroy ukraine and, we organized the community for all of the representatives -- the minority. there are about 60 organizations. and, there is an islamic movement in ukraine. this is a question that is very important to defend ukraine. that is -- that is some information about us. we came here to help everybody in the government that everyone, we are representatives of the majority of the ukrainian city. we want to understand this and i want to ask who helps ukraine ? who helped ukraine? we received, like the muslim community, and the delegation comes from europe and america. but, what? we are part of ukraine and we defend our land and somebody wants to use islam to kill and use it for political reasons. i want to ask everybody, think about ukraine like one government. it must help us to save ukraine because for us, that is an example for many countries in europe. in america. i want to ask the muslim community -- you help anybody but you don't see the --. i don't understand. that is my question. >>

ukraine to be a sovereign state. i don't know if russia would like that model, but ukraine definitely has the right to make sovereign decisions in this matter, and the whole western community supports ukraine goal, the goal is for ukraine to be truly sovereign, and to be able to to choose allies, and this is our goal, to support ukraine in this, so that ukraine... will be successful and sovereign for years, and this is the most important thing. this is an extremely important point, and if we talk, for example, about certain specific points, in particular we are talking about polish-ukrainian military cooperation. i will not speak specifically now, because i don't really have such an opportunity either, but i want to say that sending ammunition to the ukrainian army is not only our polish, but also our european priority. we will act in this area, which also applies to polish-ukrainian relations cooperation to make this happen, we are well aware and understand ukrainian needs, we know how difficult the situation is, and we will do everything possible to help and meet those needs. and what goals do you think putin has set for himself, right? we understand that the russian economy is moving on

ukraine as a wedge issue? to play partisan politics with assistance meant to support ukraine's fight against russia's aggression. this is a critical moment for ukraine and for this body. the administration's top national security officials have made clear that continued support is essential for ukraine as it continues its fight. and we know the consequences if we cannot agree to additional funding for the arms they need to win. to the economic and development assistance that has been critical to ukraine's livelihood all of this will be impacted. and i think it's also important we are all working from the same set of facts, in particular as i continue to hear from some of my colleagues who oppose ukraine funding, they promulgate misinformation regarding the management of our assistance. the administration has inst instituted robust monitoring for all of the assistance we provide to ukraine. the state department, defense department, and our ukrainian partners are all ensuring this assistance is carefully tracked and accounted for. this misinformation both undermine ukraine's courageous efforts while benefiting one person, vladimir putin. the world is

faster to make decisions necessary for ukraine, artillery shells of 155 caliber are critically important ammunition for the defense forces of ukraine, although ukraine established its own production, most of these weapons for the armed forces come from the usa and europe, but over the last month, washington has reduced these supplies by a third, because of this, ukraine was forced to reduce the intensity of its own artillery. experts told my colleague iryna solomko about this. when and how to overcome this problem, see in its plot. philip carber, a military expert and the founder of the descendants foundation, returned from the front a few days ago, says that he saw with his own eyes, how much the intensity of artillery shelling by the ukrainians has decreased. the reason is the decrease in stocks of 155- caliber shells. therefore, they are using less and less every day, trying to save, which means that the ability of the ukrainians to compensate for the numerical advantage of the russians is decreasing, and especially now, when they are trying... this is one of the explanations why the russian attacks in avdiivka had a certain success, even though

ukraine in the 2024 election year. ukraine should prepare for the fact that there will be very unpleasant surprises, when ukraine once again becomes a hostage of the political struggle, and we will hear more and more demands. review the strategy of the united states in relation to ukraine and force ukraine to negotiate with the russian federation. it seems to me that some republicans, in particular donald trump, have already spoken about this publicly. and it seems to me that these demands will sound more active and louder. what should ukraine do in this case? well , ukraine needs to look for alternative sources if the united states reduces funding for ukraine, it seems to me that ukraine needs, on the one hand, to increase its military production, but on the other hand , to look for new allies and strengthen its relations with europe. it was an interview with professor kudele on the air of our daily briefing program. you can watch the full version on our website and on youtube voice of america channel in ukrainian. in the meantime, the first of international coalition for the return of ukrainian children illegally deporte

about that in ukraine or do we need to do that with every country we give money to or is there something specific about ukraine that you don't trust where the money is going? caller: ukraine is not in nato. we are in nato with israel. that is our duty. with ukraine we need a little bit more. we have pumped way too much money without not knowing how we are going to get a return on that. that is my whole thing. please stop the name-calling. we are all people. we are red-blooded americans. it doesn't matter if you're black, white, republican, democrat, independent. we are all the same. we need to come together. host: thanks for that call from tucson, arizona. upon money going to ukraine, it's up to about $111 billion since early 2022. this chart from the senate on foreign relations, a bit dated but you can see the assistance to you ukraine -- to ukraine compared to other countries through the summer of this year. the next country is israel and then jordan, afghanistan, ethiopia, egypt and yemen in terms of recipients of us aid, all left together in that chart. andrew and grammar 10, washington. on the line for no two additional 80 ukraine -- to additional aid to ukraine. cal

ukraine. therefore, for ukraine, i think, this is exactly the path that we also need. i believe that ukraineeeds to arm itself, it needs to have its own production complex, but in no way should this be an alternative to joining nato, because only the north atlantic alliance provides a guarantee that in the event of a war, there will be a future one. no, members of the north atlantic alliance will fight with us on our side against the aggressor, because when you know it, an ally somewhere, you know, now we see how it is treated even in the united states, there is a purely internal politics around this, but if american soldiers were sitting now in the trenches next to our soldiers, i think that the discussions in the american parliament would have been a little different, just as the pace of assistance to us was a little different from the side of germany, france and... probably no one would have blocked the trucks on the polish-ukrainian border , if the poles together with us fought against the aggressor. therefore , i think that the north atlantic alliance is a guarantee that we will have th

them... politician roman kostenko, colonel of the security service of ukraine, people's deputy of ukraine and people's deputy of ukraineer head of the security service of ukraine, valentyn nalyvaichenko, besides there will be military expert valentyn badrak. let's talk about what this great mobilization means and who it will affect, because the verkhovna rada of ukraine is currently considering two, preparing for consideration , two bills related to mobilization, mobilization. and demobilization, whether there will be fair mobilization, whether there will be fair demobilization, all this is in our priority discussion, in addition, let's remember putin , who said that he will continue the war with ukraine until ukraine is demilitarized and de-nezified, as he declared at the beginning of the so-called special military operation. i hope that valentyna livaychenko will give her expert opinion about what vladimir putin actually wants. in the second part of our program, which will start at 21:15, we will have three political experts, or rather two political experts, these are andriy smoliy, vitaliy kulyk and viktoriya ptashn

ukraine. in her opinion, such a connection is enough, enough harms ukraine itself, ukraine, but meanwhile in brusselsin particular, representatives of the european commission, which recommends starting negotiations on ukraine's membership in the eu, are insisting on their own, and the spokeswoman of the european commission stated this again today. as you can probably imagine, we stick to our suggestions and our recommendations. no, we do not consider them unreasonable. on the contrary, i think ukraine has done an impressive job when it comes to both speed and substance. and our president has emphasized this more than once. obviously, the decisions will now be approved by the member states, based on our proposed enlargement package. well, one more question about hungary, the ministry of foreign affairs of the country reported that a meeting between orban and the ex-president was planned there petro poroshenko, but he was not released from ukraine, what is known about this? well, it is known that such a meeting was planned, there are statements by mr. poroshenko that he planned to meet, in particular,

ukraine needs those assets now. the administration has requested for additional funding for ukraine. i support that request. but this funding is being debated. the eu, which has provided ukraine with roughly as much support overall as has the united states is also grappling with how to sustain high levels of support for ukraine. russian assets can and should be used to compensate ukraine for the war that was started for no good reason. u.s. taxpayers might appreciate that. the u.s. only holds a small portion of the immobilized russian assets. europeans hold the bulk. g-7 governments should move together. the is debating the issue. the u.s. can and should show leadership by passing repo. we should lead. there are arguments against g7 governments taking a step. i am not a lawyer or a financial expert, but that said, the argument that russia's assets can be repurposed in response to its illegal war under the principle of countermeasures, a case put forth by yuliya ziskina, here on this panel, and my friend and colleague phil dellaco seems strong. the president, indicted as a war criminal, should not be avoiding consequences of the illegal war. the second argument against repo, r

well, it’s somehow difficult, it’s clear that this is the same ukraine, and the ukraine that was under yanukovych, and the current ukrainene the same, but the politicians are different, you see, that’s why these accusations, they look like transferring from a sick head to a healthy one, because in the conditions of chaos , there is a war, that is the one that directly ignited this war, well, to be honest, he sits down for discussions about that, it means that it was done wrong, many... years ago or what is needed do it right now, but not at the expense of the help of the west, but at the expense of ukraine itself, this is not a very grateful thing, the fact is that the west also signed up for all these supplies, that of aircraft, that of long-range missiles, he is about it declared, i remember all these rammsteins, on which all this was stated , supported, fixed, and there it was said that of course this must be done, that's all, that's all, it 's fair, it's all clear, yes, that's what's needed here to get, here to type. and so on, and what happens now? these obligations are not fulfilled, and the perspective of their fu

ukraine. the existence of ukraine, the border of ukraine. additionally i just left a meeting where we had the prime minister cameron from the united kingdom here and he was very eloquent as a former prime minister himself describing the unity of the west. bringing in sweden and finland. in switzerland over and over again. then last week the former prime minister of the uk liz trust was here. and was very effective in explaining together why western countries should be so proactive and supportive of the brave and courageous people of ukraine. we now proceed to ambassador dan crede. chairman wilson, senator whitehouse, i am honored to testify at today's hearing and speak in support of the repo for ukraine act. i wanted to define in simple language the u.s. interest in ukraine. through world wars and cold wars, the united states learned the hard ways that we don't want conch caters running around europe. russia is on a collision course against its neighbors including america's friends and allies because that is what restoring the empire means. u
