let's not bring an estimate but they had, he's a political analyst and president of the united voices for america, that's a civic and get is of an organization based in washington dc. welcome to algebra 0 just to just uh, i mean give me your initial readings about the, the developments overnight and this morning or the corresponding just telling us multiple airstrikes, drones flying very low above the skies of gaza. and then we saw these pictures of about a $100000.00 young men being stripped, kneeling in the north, at the gaza strip. it's like something out of sci fi movie where they're scanning for any survivors, anybody that's still living and targeting them to kill them. it's horrific and you know, detaining all these innocent civilians and stripping them down and parading them for the world to see is the type of psychological warfare to intimidate and break the policy and people the people it and as of for them to fully submit to leave as a to deep populate, this is the, the plan, it's obvious to all of us that there's cop trying to cause of much infrastructure damage as possible to make of

must bring enough of that, but the now he's a physical analyst and the president of united voices for america that says civic engagement organization based in washington dc. thanks very much indeed for joining us. how not just that. we've seen this sort of down to general striking the occupies westbank. how much does this resonate across the region and indeed beyond it's resonating, even in the united states, there are hundreds of shops and restaurants and businesses of bypass means arabs and muslims that are also ins, right? closing during work week in solidarity with the palestinians. and the people in regards to including, you know, palestine, restaurants and shops and the average american is not so aware of what's happening there. but when they go to their favorites, lebanese restaurant in its close, it kind of brings awareness to what's happening. i think that's what the effort is here and people feel like it's their limit and what they can do, what they're doing boycotts are doing strikes whatever they can to bring their wellness to the atrocities happening. and as of is that message be

i'm president of united voices for america civic engagement organization based in washington dc. i'm and welcome back. and i want to quote something that the success of state mc blink. i'm sad of the thailand defense 7 days. these 5 that we had, he said, is around needs to take more effective steps to protect the lives of civilians. including by clearly and precisely does amazing areas and places the southern and central gaza, where they can be safe and out of the line of fire. what evidence are we seeing of that? non one week later? it's actually the violence is escalating humiliation is now being, you know, wide spread and the targeting civilians continue. mass of destruction is happening . so it just seems like it's lip service, whether they're actually putting pressure behind the scenes and is really just not listening or, and you know, spinning out of control. or that the actually just seeing this for public consumption and behind the scenes giving them the green light obviously by sending continue sending weapons and bombs to israel to continue the assault on gaza with the

he's a political analyst and president of the united voices for america, that's a civic engagement organization based in washington dc. welcome back. so if we look at the comments coming out of the washington, d. c, by an administration saying that, look, israel needs to do more to protect civilians. israel simply isn't doing not in guns . okay. so, i mean that's, i mean, how, what do you respond to these comments coming out of it seems it's more lip service . it's um, they're trying to limit some sort of communication problem that they're not communicating where to go. the reality is there's no safe place in causa, and everyone is getting a targeted civilians infrastructure. people are calling this not only how much it's a type of homicide, which is basically destroying infrastructure to make gaza in a way not to be able, you know, to live there just in life, in the future. something like 60 percent of gauze that has been destroyed and they're not stopping. so it's falling on deaf ears is in tel aviv. and israel, they're not listening. if in fact that's what they're telling them behind the sce

he's the president of the civil society group, united voices for america. so 1st of all, let's start with this un, general assembly resolution. is it any more obliging? then what we know comes out of the un general assembly, which is non binding. it's a big name at the end of the recommendations like, hey, security council. we recommend the whole world recommends the following. and it's up to you to decide to do it or not. and besides, if, by the way, if you decide to do it, any of these 5 member states can veto it, which so far that's been the case. so it's gonna pass as far as the resolution. however, it's non binding, it's a recommendation, but it's the voice of the world. okay. even though it's combined the do we know what the us position will be on this? you know, they can block it and veto it, but what sort of position now they've got to see us again in this position where though they're the only country standing with israel at this point, how long are they're willing to continue to go along as the death toll continues to rise so many thousands of the

joined now in the studio, i asked my video, he's the president of the civil society group, united voices for america. good to have you with us. think of everything, my dad by joe biden, the, the world public opinion can shift, has now already stop shifting. it shifted weeks ago, the world's, you know, through whether it's united nations, whether it's the international community. so what do you make of what he was trying to say is this him out of touch with he is out of the largest, maybe the 2, not the briefings. this is the same show by then who said that he saw pictures of be headed babies, and no such thing actually happened on the white house. that was those statements, but i have over and over and he's made the other repeated, you know, false information when it comes. so it is definitely out of touch with this is supportive of israel, but he's putting them on a short leash because nowadays, really garments not even listening to the white house. when they're saying you have to minimize civilian casualties. you have to give safe havens for civilians. they don't like how this is, how israel's car

the who's here in the studio with those who believe it will have a list and president of united voices for america that say, a civic engagement organization based in washington dc. if i will welcome to you, i'm you. so the sweeping saying we've had the to model smock in this conflict. so far you've described what was happening and because it was quote, a race against time by israel to cause as much destruction as possible. indeed, populate the strip before western powers. pull the plug. what do you mean by that? there's build, you know, pressure is mounting against israel because of the death tolls. and the current is that we're seeing people are shocked by the image is coming out of the gaza. many didn't expect that there we go this far. and now that netanyahu, regina is trying to do as much destruction as they can with the ultimate goal of the populating gaza. you know, they initially had this plan to force people out into egypt and other place it into the sign i. but that's not, you know, happening. so to try to get people to leave in different ways and cause as much destruction to that structu

and the occupied west was told now to be there, he's a political analyst and president of united voices for america. that's a civic engagement organization based in washington dc. thanks very much for being with us. so let's talk about this. a general strikes is sort of down to strike festival has been taking place in, in uh, uh, the occupied westbank. clearly they, they, they want to send a message with destroyed, but they're hoping as well that it will resonates beyond that board is. and it, it is running beyond our borders. actually, you know, i'm from the united states and i'm getting messages back home shops across the country, especially in their communities, have close to that in mind. kind of alone. i think there is at least 50 shops that closed in solid. there already with the people in palestine with the people and has to bring awareness. and some of these shops have multiple chains, franchises, coffee shops that are popular lebanese restaurants, era, restaurants, you have many restaurants. they're closing to be in solidarity to send a message to the american public that we're sending a s

occupied west. spring in oakland, the now he's a political analyst and the president of united voices for america. that's a civic engagement organization based in washington dc. yeah, welcome to the program. we've seen this sort of dr. general strike unoccupied westbank. how much does this resonate across the region and beyond? it's resonating and it's actually crossing borders and overnight. even in my home town in the united states, shops are closing, like dozens of them. i think more than 60 shops, including lebanese restaurants and lounges and coffee shops, shops that have multiple franchises. it's not just happening there. it's happening across the states and even parts of europe to stand in solidarity with businesses and the people in gaza to say, as long as these bombs are happening, this is what we can do and it sends that message to get raise awareness and bring attention to wouldn't be a folks there in the united states and other parts that hey, there's a genocide happening in gaza and we need to preventive. and some of the things we've seen. we've seen images of palestinians being stri

joined in the studio by accident, but did he's the president of the civil society group, united voices for america? good to have you bank with assignments. thank you, sandra. starting with this mechanism, the resolution 377 is how optimistic should we be? that this could lead to the imposition of a ceasefire, cuz the end of the day. yeah, the united nation is getting creative here and they're running out of mechanisms or tools of the and we, you know, we heard last week that invoking article 99 was going to be a it failed because of the veto. now 377, a hasn't been used, you know, for half a century, they are hoping that is going to be able to make it a, it's going to pass, but whether that's gonna be fine. yeah. but yeah, it does. it's a recommendation. so it's not, but the whole world is also from the general assembly. it's not binding the whole world when they speak of the un, it just ends up being a recommendation. it's up to the security council to adopt and even that there is the veto. so that's why people are calling for reform that this united nation is a waste setup right now. the securit

denouncing on the last days last spring in there, he's a political analyst and the preston 12 united voices for america civic engagement organization based in washington dc. welcome to a studio here. ok, thank you care. how much are we seeing maneuverings by these ready government to essentially trying to buy time? did you think of, i mean everything that they're signaling including this idea to screen trucks and have them drive around in circles to be screened at a different crossing, but not actually go through the crossing only to make a u turn. go back to a rough off the surface that time. so i think to buy more time so they can continue the bombardment. so type of a way to appease the pressure that's coming from washington to signal as if they're doing something. but in reality, it doesn't change what's on the ground. more people are getting killed, more destruction is happening to basically continue the flattening of a gaza where they know some 70 percent of the destructors have already been demolished, and thousands of people are dead. we've seen some terrible images coming out of this, of cours

now in the studio by accident video, he's the president of the civil society group, united voices for america. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, that start with what's happening, what's expected to happen in the general assembly. this is, looks like from all indications, gonna pos with a big amount of support or the whole world wants to see a cease fire. the only countries in the world that are getting the way of the is the united states and of course is real. so yes, it would pass, but is that binding or people fall through? the united nations looks bad right now. seems and effective with august the atrocities all these human rights violations in geneva convention violations. they're unable and effective to stop this genocide from happening. so as i mentioned, the united nations look looks 5 like now, but since the last about was move by the un secretary general invoking article 99 is some of that blame focusing on the u. n. o. more of it focusing on the u. s. a. v. towing, but regardless it's still the outcome is the same because the whole system that seems outdated. 5 nations that c

okay, thank you for that reporting from alright we have with us off my dad, he's a political analyst and he's a political analyst and the president of the united voice is for america. that's a civic engagement organization based in washington dc. thanks for coming back with us on alta 0. so you heard her that you have reads right across the occupied restaurant, particularly in drama law. this time around was really considered the capital of the palestinian authority. and we saw what's happening occupied east jerusalem with palestinian worshippers, unable borrowed from getting to an ox, a mosque. i mean, if we'll talk about garza and just of them, but if you look at the situation occupied is through somebody as well as occupied westbank. where do you think this is headed to? i think they're taking advantage of this, or is or taking advantage of the world's attention and focus on because the, to carry out these campaigns in the west banks to 1st further subjugate of hausteen's there. and as a reminder that this is a, we're not just the mazda, so we're in all towns screenings, and to change the realities on the ground, to whether it's increased settlements, whether t

anna kostyuchenko, pavel sukhodolsky for voice of america. from odessa and kyiv. it was a story about how the unitedelped the ukrainian city of odesa to prepare for winter, and a story about how internally displaced people live in odesa, watch on our voice of america ukrainian youtube channel. this will be the end of the story from new york. another one appeared there in the very center of the quarter called ukrainian village a reminder to the world about the war in ukraine. an almost twenty-meter photo mural depicting the cemetery of civilians destroyed by the russian military. cars in irpen. it was depicted by the american photographer and artist philip buhler. iryna solomko spoke with him in new york. philip buhler, an american painter from brooklyn, always brings sunflowers when he comes to his photo mural in mengeden. it was these sunflowers that ukrainian artists painted around nivychyna and the cars shot by the russian military, in which the inhabitants of rpiny tried to escape from practically surrounded city. after the liberation of kyiv region, the cars were taken to one place , which beca

journalists of the voice of america asked... the commissioner of the verkhovna rada of ukraine for human rights about the goals of meetings and cooperation with the united states of america. i really want this conference. found concrete mechanisms for the return of ukrainian children. we are used to the fact that there are many activities where the problems of ukrainian children, the deportation of ukrainian children, are said, said , said. yes, an obligation to help us verify ukrainian children. how should we return them, so from the united states we expect help in the entire spectrum, i hope that my arguments, which will be seen on the territory of the united states, may become an additional argument why it is necessary to vote both in the senate and in the congress for the allocation of financial assistance to ukraine, because in this aid there is not only military aid, there is also a large part of humanitarian... projects, and we also need them very much. there is no such court where russia could challenge the transfer of its own frozen assets in ukraine. this was stated by a washington lawyer, a specialist in international law, paul reichler. at t

in an interview to the voice of america, he stated that as soon as the united states decides on the ultimate goal for ukraine, the question of the shortage of weapons will disappear. my colleague andriy borys spoke with the retired general. winter is coming. how would you rate the combat readiness of the ukrainian armed forces, and especially if we talk about air defense? first, i wouldn't want to be. russian privates sitting in the trenches, they have a terrible system of logistics, their leaders sneeze at them. so russian soldiers will suffer terribly in winter. i think we will see a decrease in efficiency some of their drones. as for the ukrainian side, i am sure that the zsu is not going to slow down, they will continue to put pressure on the russians, on their logistics, because they cannot give them a single day of rest to strengthen their defenses. i have no doubt that russia... will do the same thing they did last winter, attack the power grid to make life miserable for civilians. the goal is to undermine the readiness of the ukrainian people to resist, so anti-aircraft... should be the first

kind of assistance from the united states is now necessary for ukraine to be able to continue to defend its territory. thank you, colleague, yulia yarmolenko, voice of americaorrespondent, spoke about the meeting of the president of ukraine with american senators. challenges for global security, developments at the front and further cooperation between ukraine and the usa. in the field of defense - these are the main topics of president volodymyr zelenskyi's visit to the usa, but there is another topic that prompted zelensky to return to the white house after the last visit, which took place three months ago. olena kurenkova will continue. before arriving in washington, president zelenskyi visited argentina and attended the inauguration of newly elected president javier miley. there, talking to representatives of the latin american media, the president emphasized: ukraine believes that it will be able to overcome the pause in aid from the united states, which has been caused. political differences in the congress. on december 6, the united states announced a new military package aid for ukraine in the amount of 175 million dollars. it also included missiles

ukrainian voice of america service was in direct contact with us with the details of zelenskyi's visit to the united states. thank you. the us and ukrainian military commands are looking for a new entry strategy war with russia in 2024. the new york times writes about this with reference to officials from ukraine and the usa. according to some american officials, without a new strategy and additional funding, ukraine may lose the war. like, putin is betting on a decrease in american support. and against the background of the current situation. regular aid to kyiv, it does not look so impossible. i remind the publication that despite the fact that the united states has already provided military and economic aid to ukraine for more than 111 billion over the past two years dollars, a significant number of republicans now oppose further spending, and those who are ready to vote for the allocation of additional funds want to first see a new strategy, and even the help that congress will approve, in the opinion of the american. officials is unlikely to match the funding that was in the first two years of the war. therefore, they warn that ukraine will have to fight in condition

it more seriously and voiced real options for how to do it, russia reacted and already said that no-no-no, if you do this, we will break relations with the united states of americarighten, who is this relationship? are more needed in general, well, they scare, of course, how they scare the west and nato, that russia will win everything and defeat everyone, and is the only country that can allegedly turn the united states into nuclear ash, as russian propagandists said a few years ago, but it is about the fact that this is a very extreme measure, a break in diplomatic relations, is really like a mini-declaration of war, this kind of blackmail. will continue on the part of russia, just as the processes that have already begun and will not be stopped will continue, that is, not only the freezing of these 300 billion dollars of the central bank of russia abroad, but also not only the freezing, but also the transformation of them into money that will go to help in the reconstruction of ukraine, because there were others. initiatives, let's say, the spanish government once came up with an initiative, it did not find such support that, let's say, only percentages of th

for smart and caring people. espresso in the evening. the ukrainian program is broadcast from washington voice of america service time time. i am yulia yarmolenko. congratulations. the united states will be able to allocate only one package of military aid to ukraine until the end of the year. before december 30 , they will exhaust all available financing to replenish their own stocks. this is about it. in the letter of us deputy secretary of defense michael mccord to congress, which was made available to journalists. it is critical that congress act without delay on the administration's request for additional funding, mccord writes. it is in our national interest and our help is vital, so that ukraine continues its struggle for freedom, and russia continues to suffer defeats in ukraine. meanwhile, senators have not yet managed to reach a compromise on the issues of the southern border of the united states, without which the republicans. refuse to consider the request for additional funding for ukraine and israel. john kirby, a representative of the us national security council, said that the white house is also participating in the negotiations, which lasted all weekend,

ukrainian president visited for the third time since the start of the full-scale invasion the united states. he also met with republican and democratic senators there. voice of americawill tell all the details of what the politicians talked about. the second and most important day of the ukrainian president's visit to washington. he has meetings since the morning, first he speaks in a closed session before senators, then he has a meeting with the speaker of the lower house of congress, mike johnson. the ukrainian president is trying to convince the congressmen why it is important to continue to support ukraine, why the congress should vote for an aid package for ukraine next year? he gave understand, and we all made it clear, if we lose, putin wins, and that will be very dangerous for the united states. we cannot allow putin to influence through any surrogates what we should do in ukraine. he also noted one more thing: he needs help quickly. if we don't help quickly, a couple of things will happen: first, military needs, and second, europe and many other allies will say what's going on here, they... do not provide them with help, but zelenskyi's words do not seem to

voiced, the needs can be conveyed to partners and justified, the question is whether we will get everything we need for quality introduction of offensive actions. currently, the situation in the united states of america with the provision of additional aid to us is in limbo and does not cause optimism so far, so whatever the list was, we have to understand now that the only guarantor of our tomorrow today is the armed forces of ukraine. well, but with all that , expecting help from the west, in particular from the usa, we still have to do something so as not to harm ourselves, neither on the airfield, nor in the information space . incidents that are simply a disturbance society will now come to discuss this behavior, all these statements, and your predictions, how it might end, and ultimately about the responsibility for such things, for such words, because, well, we don't know, for 100%, what the enemy will use from that, well , the enemy will use it to the maximum and is already using it, if they write about ms. maryana, new york times. yes, with reference to the fact that it was she who started the information campaign, including someone's filing against the head of state, i am convinced that all

voice of the people, and this support in... which is growing, somehow influence at the decision of the congress? you understand that, in fact, support for ukraine remains, both in the united states and in america, general public support remains, and this support also remains in political circles and in congress, in particular, both on the republican and democratic democratic sides, the problem is only such a small number of republicans. particularly in the house of representatives who are just blocking this process, there are no more than 10 people who are strongly, some of them are strongly against the support, and they have actually blocked this process, linking it to border security, after it has been blocked in the house of representatives, the senate began to talk about it a lot, and today, as we know, the leadership in the senate also began to talk about what is so national. security in the heartland of the united states is more important than anything, and even the greatest friends of ukraine, we believe, senators , such as lincius graham, he clearly said, we will not help ukraine until we solve the border issue, that is in fact, a group of people is blocking this process. and this issu

united states of america. more and more voices are being heard about who the actual aggressor is, who is to blame for the situationt away with it, unscathed from this water, it’s impossible, that’s it. it’s already impossible, when you cited quotes from chuck schummer, maconel, the essence is the following, will they be able to bring their positions closer or closer? no, today in no way, but voters ask the other a simple question: are you against america being first and foremost, so that we deal with our own problems, and not solve the problems of some dictator zelensky, no, both democrats and republicans, they are united in the fact that bread for... what is at home is that it is minorities and people of color who vote mainly for democrats, closer, is the next priority for the government, so we see that no matter how much the democrats would like not to engage in migration policy, we know that they are now betting on their electorate, and if now the democrats advocate at any cost to reduce the allocation for the border, build a wall there, kick them out. there may be provocations, there may be provocations on the
