volker said that the military action in rafah endangers the lives of one and a half million palestinians causes thousands of palestinians who came to rafah on the orders of the zionist army to be displaced. the minister of war of the zionist regime said on thursday: a satellite announced that the zionists are working to create a buffer zone in the north of the gaza strip by destroying more than they started from a thousand buildings along the border of the food strip . earlier, the spokesman of the zionist regime's army announced the intention of this regime to create the ha'el area with the gaza strip. according to the associated press report, with the creation of this buffer zone, the border of the gaza strip will be pushed back one kilometer. the gaza strip is 51 km from the border with the territories. the palestinian ministry of health has reported a 300% increase in the number of abortions among pregnant women in gaza since the beginning of the conflict. the ministry of home affairs has warned that the lives of about 60,000 pregnant women and their fetuses were not due. health care

at the same time volker noted that we should continue public diplomacy and communicate directly withessmen. these are two different things, the reason for the delay in congress has nothing to do with ukraine, so you can't influence it: it is about the us southern border, legal immigration, fentanyl coming into the us, and the measures we are taking, to control the situation on the border, that's what it's about, and it has nothing to do with ukraine. an auction exhibition was organized in the museum of the kyiv fortress. we sketch the war. teachers and students of children's art school number 7 in kyiv united to raise funds for drones for the military. the price of the entrance ticket is symbolic - uah 30. painted helmets, tubuses, shell casings and other military trophies can be purchased until march 6. on weekends, the organizers hold charity concerts, film screenings and workshops. you can learn more about the project. find out on his facebook page, this exhibition, it is very important to convey to people, to show how important it is to live the war now and help our soldiers, bec

earlier i spoke with kurt volker — a former ambassador to nato — who is also in munich for the securitys death. thanks for being with us. you are at the munich security conference. the news breaking this morning about alexei navalny. is it surprising to you? navalny. is it surprising to ou? ., . . . ~' navalny. is it surprising to ou? ., . . . ,, you? not at all. we knew he was in the russian _ you? not at all. we knew he was in the russian prison _ you? not at all. we knew he was in the russian prison system. . in the russian prison system. they have tried to kill him a few times before. they've deliberately put in such conditions of confinement so they could damage his health and see if they could break him. so the fact he died in prison is not a surprise. it should be a wake—up call for the west and for anyone who seeks to see a better world, a better russia, better security for europe. this is the nature of the government regime. we can't pretend any more or deny it. this is an abusive, authoritarian leader who is forcing aggression upon his neighbours. . forcing aggression upon his

let's speak to kurt volker, former us ambassador still with me.onvicted in germany. on the social media site x, maria pevchikh, one of navalny closest advisers claimed vladimir putin had him killed because negotiations were nearing completion for a prisoner swap in which navalny would be exchanged along with two american citizens for the assassin vadim krasikov. krasikov, is an fsb officer, who was arrested in berlin in 2019 for the murder of a chechen dissident in berlin 5 tiergarten park. he was sentenced to life imprisonment. it just interests me itjust interests me this because we know that there were two americans who are still in prison in russia. the wall street journalists who are still in prison in russia. the wall streetjournalists being one of them, but we did not know that alexei navalny was part of this deal. there has been no comment today so it has not been confirmed by the us side but i wonder what you make of it? several things struck me about the story. i do not doubt the person who knows in the balmy saying this, but i think it

and the world we turn now to kurt volker. he was u.s.resentative for ukraine negotiations during the trumpet and got -- during the trump administration. i want to begin with your reaction to those comments from former president trump saying he would encourage russia to attack a nato ally if they did not pay their dues what did you think when you heard that? >> it is an outrageous comment. if you look at what russia is doing to ukraine right now, killings, bombing cities, civilian deaths, torture and rape as a weapon of war -- you should not wish that on anyone and do say that we would encourage vladimir putin to attack one of our allies is too much. to be clear, what president trump was doing, he was at a campaign rally and he was bragging about saying what he had said in the past. even so it is nothing to brag about. it is not the kind of leadership that america should be showing the world. nato was created to prevent war. it was created so that by banding together and countries pledging to defend each other, we would dissuade anyone fr

opponents to embarrass them, i think more of an accusation because it's domestic politics. issue, kurt volker at the munich conference, he admitted that in principle, even in the house of representatives , 80% of the congressmen present there are ready to vote, but due to the political struggle between biden and trump, it has not yet been put to a vote, and so in principles, look, the agreement passed through the senate, and in acceptable form for ukraine, i.e. there together in one. israel, taiwan and ukraine , and this is very good, because unlike ukraine, specific papers have been signed with israel and taiwan, well, at least there are obligations that are fixed or by law, regarding taiwan, although the us does not recognize taiwan as a separate states, but they have a separate bill regarding taiwan, and an agreement was signed with israel back in 1979, and since 1988 , it... is a-a ally outside of nato, and because, of course, this is also a political game , each one accuses one of non-constructive behavior, ah, earning accordingly, well , future points for the primaries in the elections,

american diplomat kurt volker noted, that ukraine is unable to change the situation with the allocationaid to our state by the american congress, because such a decision currently depends only on internal political processes in the states. at the same time, walker noted that we should continue public diplomacy and communicate directly with voters and congressmen. these are two different things, the reason for the delay in congress has nothing to do with ukraine, so you cannot influence it: it is about the southern border of the united states, legal migration, fentanyl coming to the us and the measures we take to monitor. the situation at the border, that's what it's all about, and it has nothing to do with ukraine. they survived the occupation, left, but returned home. the horbel family met a full-scale invasion in their hometown of balaklia in kharkiv oblast. it was captured by russian troops in the first days of march. how the family managed to escape and why the heroines of our next story returned, sharing memories from espresso. this is anna's former office in the local cultural cen
