You have been ashamed of the betrayal of ukraine for ages, join the creation of the collaborators program, send information about the kremlin traitors to us on facebook or to email, we will send them together to track the russian ship. I am maria prus greetings washington supports the negotiations in saudi arabia regarding the participation of ukraine with the participation of representatives of about 30 countries of the world among the participants are representatives of the event as well as developing countries from asia of south america and africa this was reported by the spokesman of the state department of swords miller. He added that a highranking official of the white house would take part there and emphasized that it is important that countries that have not yet heard ukraines position directly hear it. In addition, the United States and allied countries are starting negotiations on security assurances for ukraine this week. As was discussed at the nato summit in vilnius, the meeting will take place virtually at the level of Deputy Foreign ministers, these negotiations will begin this week, this is the result of a statement that we made it public on the fields of the latter precisely before nato in vilnius, President Biden and the leaders of the group of seven made it clear that we plan to participate in negotiations with the government of ukraine regarding our longterm security commitments so that kyiv can build up armed forces capable of defending itself and deterring future attacks our economy to protect our citizens and move towards euroatlantic integration, i will note that this is a separate initiative from this defense aid that we now regularly provide, we are considering this process is in two directions, the first is Security Assistance to support ukraines efforts to repel the current russian aggression and the second is the creation of an army that will be able to deter potential future russian aggression. Negotiations will begin this week on how we can resolve the actual details of these security commitments in kryvyi rih , a search and rescue operation has been completed following a russian strike on a residential building six people 75 people were killed and wounded. Russian attacks on cities will not frighten and break ukraine, president Volodymyr Zelenskyi said. He also said that the situation on the battlefield shows that russia is not capable of fully occupying ukraine. Than expected pace of advancement of Ukrainian Forces , our european correspondent Bohdan Tsyupin joins our broadcast bohdan, i know that you collected the opinions of various experts on the ukrainian of the counteroffensive and the Current Situation at the front, tell us their main conclusions. Well, first of all, i think it should be emphasized that in many western countries , what is happening in ukraine is being watched very closely, and many ordinary citizens, in particular, europeans who support aid to ukraine, want to know, want to understand what is happening and what the news means coming from ukraine, they are helped in this by a rather large group of specialists who have become famous in the west and now many representatives of this group emphasize that that the fighting in ukraine is going on now may be more protracted than they expected and one of those specialists is a senior employee of the European Council of Foreign Affairs of the gresels with whom i spoke recently and ammunition is needed to break through those defense lines it will last longer it will also require more equipment and unfortunately there will be more losses, but still there are achievements and this is an opportunity for a breakthrough. The ukrainians have not yet left all their forces in the offensive. Maneuver. Therefore, the offensive may speed up at a certain point. Meanwhile, battles of attrition may also prove to be russias weak point. Some american observers say that the usa would carry out its offensive somewhat differently , primarily using aviation, in particular , recently in an interview, the former general of the Russian Air Force 9 debtula told me that the f16 would help in both offensive and air defense , however, the Ukrainian Air force has not yet received these fighters, the training process is just beginning, what else according to experts ukraine needs for an effective offensive, well, experts and observers, when they talk about the ukrainian counternafle, usually point out that ukraine needs more weapons, and in particular , westernstyle f16 fighter jets, longerrange ee missiles, and so on, but maybe more rather than some new types of weapons for ukraine, experts point to the need for the supply, for aid to ukraine to be more stable , for larger volumes, for example, for the supply of ammunition for artillery, some experts believe that when it comes to the socalled barrel artillery, ukraine already has a certain advantage over the russians, they also point out that it is necessary to repair and maintain the equipment already provided to ukraine at the required level, for this, repair shops are needed, which, in particular, were recently announced to be created in poland, that is, it is going that aid to ukraine should be more stable and, in particular, in training so that ukrainians would have more experience and opportunities in conducting the socalled complex offensive operations of bohdan and how do western partners react to signs that ukraine may strike russia , there are different opinions on this, there are those who say, for example, the American Government says that it does not encourage ukraine to strike on russian territory, british officials previously, for example, the minister of Foreign Affairs , said that ukraine has the right to strike outside its borders during the war, but for example there is also a caveat that western weapons cannot be used for this , the interlocutors with whom i discussed this topic say that it is unfair, and sometimes i i believe that many of these restrictions imposed on ukraine and the Ukrainian Military regarding the way they use western equipment are incorrect on the territory of the Russian Federation , there are many goals related to the conduct of war , and especially in view of putins longterm strategy, because he chose the strategy of a long war on exhaustion according to which ukraine loses and russia wins because it has a lot of resources, but you can look at it from a different perspective and say yes, of course, ukraine is smaller and has a smaller demographic base. Therefore, ukrainian the party has many problems, but the key advantage of ukraine is that its Defense Industry mainly works in the west and it is beyond the reach of russian missiles, and although russia receives help from iran, china and north korea, this help is limited , especially from china and production opportunities in iran and north korea also have their limitations. So this means that the main thing is produced in russia and this is a legitimate goal from the ukrainian side. With a neutral flag, because they can deliberately provoke ukrainians to this, in an interview with my colleague andriy hetman, the minister of youth and sports of ukraine, vadym gud, urged the site, commenting on the situation with the disqualification of the ukrainian fencer olga harlan, when they refused to shake hands with the russian swordsmen, he explained that ukraine warned the International Federation from fencing that harlan will not shake hands with russians and belarusians, and he also described the psychological state and training conditions of ukrainian athletes during constant attacks by russia and if they already allow it, that is, they should already carefully consider the athletes who support or do not support, because we see that this smirnova was admitted to the World Championship and then photos appeared on the internet that she is with russian army symbols she is wearing a cap with the russian symbol that her brother is fighting somewhere there, you understand , well, that is, the athlete was admitted as a neutral. Well, what and where are you looking . It is an International Federation that has attracted super experts, a super lawyer , a company that examines who is related to armymen or dynamics who are there under contracts, who supports he does not support the car, they let this girl in and then everyone saw that she supports this war. Therefore , this is once again an example, it will be for all federations to be more careful will speak under a neutral flag from the first day when the war began and i gave such arguments because more than three thousand of our athletes went to defend our homeland, 332 athletes, coaches, all those specialists who worked in our field of sports were already killed on of the war, 343 sports facilities have already been destroyed, destroyed in ukraine and throughout ukraine , many facilities have already been completely destroyed, many facilities have been partially destroyed, and many facilities have already been occupied, and at the same time, our athletes are located. Some are abroad, some are from kharkiv for example, mykolaiv , where is kherson region, where are the hostilities going on . They came to other cities, it is very difficult to train in ukraine , because there are practically no bases where our athletes can train, and they go abroad. And now going abroad is its very difficult because you have to go by plane, well, that is, well, and those who train inside the country, there are air raids every day, rockets fly every day, every day there are breaks from training with competitions in everything, and the parents of our athletes are killed because a rocket arrives, and all people are right at home, where they live, people live and killed our track and field athletes, our mother, our olympic champion olena choirova, there was a father who was at work , and our athletes are no longer there, the fact that some of our friends are also relatives who did not die in ukraine and croatia have agreed to use croatian ports to export ukrainian grain, the minister of Foreign Affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, said after russia withdrew from the black sea grain agreement. Exporting ukrainian grain is possible only through the eu, the socalled solidarity routes, but foreign transportation increases logistics costs several times. Therefore, ukrainian farmers bear losses , representatives of the Agricultural Sector say , meanwhile, farmers in poland, which has become one of the main corridors for food exports from ukraine they also say that they are losing money, how can this be done, Myroslava Gongadze lukasz perwolf, a thirdgeneration farmer from szeald, will tell us that to the north and the polish capital, for knowledge of ukrainian wheat , corn, rapeseed and sunflower, in order to protect our own farmers from the flow of ukrainian food from ukraine, it passed through us only in transit then this was not a problem, but many intermediary purchasing organizations took advantage of the war crisis and the passivity of the polish government to buy this grain and use it for our feed factories, the increase in prices for fertilizers and gas in poland led to an increase in costs for agricultural business, which affected productivity, soil quality and overall costs , average polish farms cannot compete with a powerful ukrainian agricultural machine, however, due to the war, russian bombing of ports and the blockade of the black sea, ukraine is limited in exporting their crops to the world market, this crisis has a negative impact on both ukrainian and International Farmers and poses a threat to Global Supply of food roman slava, director of the Ukrainian Association of agrarian business in kyiv, emphasizes that the transportation of grain by alternative routes through poland and other frontline countries is key for the delivery of grain before the introduction of restrictions by this route ukraine could transfer more than a million tons of grain per month, but after the introduction of restrictions in april, the volume of supplies and dropped significantly excely transit after the ban did not recover to the volumes we had before april at least twice, and on some days, transit decreased by three times, some transit routes through poland that were used before the ban, the elephant notes, are today closed for the transit of ukrainian crops, and the throughput capacity of spirits is limited. Marcin nowacki, vicepresident of the union of entrepreneurs and employers of poland, points to the need for new procedures for the cooperation of Business Models for transit and the need to expand the infrastructure. I think that we need a granary somewhere near the gdansk port if we want to make it easier if we want to increase the transit capacity we need a special storage room grains will be able to sell their harvest on the domestic market, and ukrainian farmers will have a clear understanding of how much grain they can sell in poland and neighboring eu countries. Agree on quotas for four categories of grain for five eu Member States so that the ukrainian side can forecast at this stage, according to him , the parties do not show readiness for such agreements with the ukrainian Agricultural Producers today need clarity and support, according to the director of the ukrainian agrarian business association, last year ukraine successfully exported more than 68 million tons of grain , this amount is enough to feed 400 Million People in the world annually, however, due to the long war and blockade, representatives of the ukrainian Agricultural Industry predict a fall in this years harvest to 60 million next year expect an even greater significant drop if we limit our production, then out of the 400 Million People we we feed with our grain, we will be able to provide food for only 200 million, so who will produce the rest , ukrainian producers warn that if the problem of delivering ukrainian grain to the world is not promptly resolved , it will be increasingly difficult to compensate for production losses, which in turn may exacerbate the problem of hunger and have a negative impact on the global food supply the security of Myroslava Gongadze in the voice of america Warsaw Poland of the week the white house announced the 43rd package of Security Assistance to ukraine for 400 million dollars, which includes ammunition for the petriv nazams i systems heimers, although the Biden Administration is sometimes criticized for insufficient speed and the amount of weapons for ukraine, the former us envoy to ukraine maria ivanovych calls the current support for ukraine unprecedented in an interview with my colleague tatyana vorozhko, she also told how washingtons acceptance of the entire Eastern European region has changed since the collapse of the soviet union and to date of science , if we go back to your experience in the government, i will quote expert taras kuzya, who said that the measure was not up to fullscale in the party russia to ukraine because experts, journalists, Analytical Centers followed the kremlins narrative, which claims that ukraine is not quite a country. Have you ever felt it . Have you ever had a moment when you suddenly thought, oh, maybe i need to pay more attention to what ukrainians think, how they see the situation, as if it were their own. Only ukrainians, russia was an empire when i studied at the university in the usa, this was not fully realized. At least i did not fully realize it, we studied russian history through the eyes of russians, everyone is Famous Artists were russians all famous writers were russians when i worked in armenia my armenian friends told me no here is this person armenian writer ukrainians are saying the same thing not only in the usa but also in europe maybe in other countries there is a real reassessment of how we receive Information Form an impression and what do we need to do to change the curriculum of universities we worked in russia in moscow and one of the things you were involved in was the transfer of Nuclear Weapons from ukraine to russia do you agree with the fact that it was mistake, i was in russia but did not work on this particular issue, i drew my conclusions from what i read and from conversations with people who were engaged in this in the early 90s, when the soviet union collapsed in the United States in the west. In general, i think in russia and probably in other parts of the former the soviet union was concerned about what would happen to Nuclear Weapons, that s when the expression uncontrolled Nuclear Munitions appeared, in other words, when Nuclear Weapons were distributed and criminal groups were able to gain control over them. So it was four soviet republics that had Nuclear Weapons on their territory Russia Ukraine belarus kazakhstan two of these republics are now independent countries transferred their Nuclear Weapons to Russia Ukraine had reservations about this and russia came to the United States to ask us for help in these negotiations and we agreed it is worth mentioning what was ukraine then, keeping Nuclear Weapons requires not only experience, which ukraine did not have, but also a lot of money to keep these Nuclear Weapons , to observe the right conditions so that there is no threats to the population and thats why we helped the russians agree on this agreement to transfer weapons to russia in exchange for the infamous budapest memorandum , warsaw was flowing, why exactly . It has already demonstrated its aggressiveness, it is worth talking about it with a Nuclear Expert but i think that part of the justification was that suddenly when the soviet union collapsed, three new countries with Nuclear Weapons appeared, russia became the heir of the soviet union. Therefore, the transfer of Nuclear Weapons to poland in your example would also cause the spread of Nuclear Weapons in the fairy tale. But it was possible to transfer them to another Nuclear Power, for example, france , Great Britain or the usa, but he does not think that this was even considered in his book. You write about your experience of working in countries immediately after the collapse of the soviet union, and one gets the impression that the administration did not prepare very well for their diplomats to work there. Can you tell us about your impressions of working in russia at that time armenia kyrgyzstan kesari tarifuziya so we decided that it is important to have an embassy in each of the new countries, but there was not enough understanding that each of these countries will actually become an important country in its own right and that we will need a strong diplomatic presence there. Because of moscow, it was like that for centuries, and russia and many republics that became independent states also thought so , including perhaps in ukraine, where the leadership did not strive for independence, it was not ready, although there were people and then secretary of state james baker, who was the secretary of the treasury before that, did not want to go to congress and ask for money to open 14 new ugus, and he did not do it. The cia, which understood that presence was needed, provided the initial funds for opening embassies in new countries, it was 250 thousands to the embassy what can i tell you was not enough but thank god they did it because it gave us at least some funds to start our presence there soon we began to understand that these are large diverse countries one of popular narratives of the kremlin it is a feeling of resentment towards the west, they say that the west promised something and did not give it, they say that the west was insulted by the former minister of Foreign Affairs of russia andriy kozev, i heard something else, but this is what we hear now, how the Us Administration treated russian officials and the russian government then, from your experience , fashion, i got the impression that we reached out to russia compared to how we built relations with ukraine and other countries in the region, russia was the largest , most densely populated, richest country that was our focus its also a Nuclear Power and we were very focused on our relationship with russia in terms of assistance in terms of attention at a high level but i think we acted in good faith i remember how president clinton made the decision to join russia to the g7 by making the organization the big eight russians were not the eighth largest economy in the world, but we considered it important to have one of the largest countries in the world at the negotiating table with other important economies working on important global todays problems until putin invaded ukraine in 2014. Russia was a member of the group of eight, and there was also the nato russia commission. If someone had said 10 years ago that there would be such a beast in nato, people would not have believed it, but we worked with russia in brussels, and i think that in 2001 the usa was very focused on the war on terrorism, it seemed that we could attract resources from other parts of the world, including the former soviet union, intelligence resources, analysts , everything for the war on terrorism, the usa was attacked and at the time it was believed that the next attack on the usa was only a matter of time and we diverted attention from russia when putin started making outrageous comments i think we started practicing magical thinking saying that he doesnt really mean it and we just didnt pay enough attention and then the invasion of georgia happened and in general the defense did nothing after six months of sanctions it was not when obama came to the post of president , we had many issues on which we wanted to work with russia and we actively cooperated with russia on some of these important issues, they were tricked into being taken to the occupied crimea, forced to learn russian ukrainian teenagers who spent 11 months in the occupation were punished for ukrainian symbols. They came to washington with a diplomatic mission. Andriy boras will tell what impression they made on american politicians. Young ukrainian women maria and nastya walk through washington in the evening. Seven months ago , it would have been difficult for them to believe that they would find themselves in in the american capital, they were forcibly received in occupied henichesk, they will imagine that there will be two of us somewhere, or i dont know what will happen to them , the girls, the heroines of the escape documentary from the russians, shot by the Investigative Journalism agency sledstvo. Info, the film was presented the other day at the Capitol Center for moviegoers. It tells the story of travelers from kherson who spent 11 months in the occupation. The Russian Program and encouraged them to obtain citizenship of the Russian Federation for sabotage and about the ukrainian position , the girls were threatened. The mouth is black with a thread and once again what about ukraine, lets say the story of the girls finally ended happy endon with the help of volunteers and the assistance of journalists they managed to escape from captivity and return to the free territory of ukraine and always we and several other ukrainian children were forcibly taken away by russia and are being held officially the names of more than 19,000 of daria gerasimchuk, we may even be talking about 200300 thousand abducted minors, and International Help is needed for their release, when the system is being fixed, they are destroying it, they showed no details, how we saved these children, how they escaped and we need volunteers, we need organizations that can do it instead of ukrainians, because russia does not cooperate with ukraine , american politicians are present at the screening of the film, they are impressed by the courage of the girls, they promise to help in every possible way to free the ukrainian children from captivity aa we we will work on sanctions against oligarchs and people who are involved in everything that is happening in ukraine, we are working with various International Organizations that can help free children from Organization Save ukraine, we had several positive meetings with them. Marcy kaptor, cochair of the Ukraine Support group in the us congress, insists on the importance of holding russias leadership accountable for this , it is necessary to document the crimes, as the authors of the film did, the tribunal will probably be created to hold russia accountable it is very important to know the names of children from the names of young people who were kidnapped and taken from their parents, often their parents were killed in our country, these are the most serious crimes in order to attract russians to responsibility in the courts, the war needs to be won first, the ambassador of ukraine to the usa is convinced, because through the prism of such individual stories, we once again convey the information that we as diplomats convey almost every day now at the official level in discussions when we ask for more weapons, more sanctions when we are constantly working on why ukraine should be helped maria and nastya studied to be cooks in kherson before they were captured, today they are diplomats in washington war changes destinies andriy boris vyacheslav filyushkin voice america on this we are finishing in the studio maria prus worked for you thank you we continue the search for 17yearold dmitry
