And this is such a formal meeting where in fact both sides and the prosecution and the defense together the judges will determine which documents and which arguments can be used in this trial here it is also important to note that the prosecution did not demand the detention of the former us president during this trial, but demanded that donald trump not speak or spread information about the details of this case and also appear in court if necessary if it is necessary to testify in court trump himself and his team emphasize that such a ban is a violation of the Constitutional Rights of the former president , a violation of his right , which is marked by the First Amendment of the construction of the United States, the right to freedom of speech. And also trump himself and his team note that they would like another judge to deal with this case and preferably in another state in West Virginia, trump himself emphasized this, and we remember that West Virginia is the state where trump won by a huge margin in 2020 and also an important point is that this is already the third criminal case against the former president and we know that these cases can take place almost simultaneously and the defense may have to be in different cities at the same time and we know that tomorrow will be here there will be a meeting in washington, and today a hearing was held on another case where three new charges were brought against trump and his aides in the state of florida, alexia, for trying to interfere in the 2020 election ; 16 michigan residents who were illegal voters are also accused. What is the essence of the case against them and how the investigations are proceeding so in fact today and over the past few weeks charges have been filed against sixteen michigan residents who the indictment alleges were illegal voters in the 2020 election when they signed a document that supposedly donald trump won the president ial race in the 20th year in the state of michigan. Although, as we remember, donald trump lost the election in this state and to these 16 residents of michigan against whom indictments have been brought and they are accused of several articles of violations and the most important article is the falsification of official documents, as well as an attempt to interfere in the president ial elections of the 20th year and conspiracy to interfere in the results of the elections, and the most important charge is precisely falsification of documents and in the state of michigan, a penalty of up to 14 years of imprisonment for violating this criminal statute can be prevented. All who helped us deal with the legal issues, that their processes against donald trump are being monitored by Oleksiy Kovalenko and we are moving on. Last week, i already visited ukraine the second contender for the right to represent the Republican Party in the us president ial elections next year is the former governor of the state of new jersey, chris christie, in an interview with tetiana vorozhko, which took place in an audiorem from his side christie shared the details of his meeting with president zelensky and his vision of american aid in ukraine talking about your trip to ukraine why did you decide to go because i truly believe that the next president of the United States must make very important decisions about ukraine and the future of ukraine i hope that ukraine can win the war against russia before the president ial election here i wanted to go there and see what they need and what progress they have already made with what they already have i am fully committed to supporting ukraine president zelenskyi and the ukrainian people, and i hope that when i become president in january 25th, i will pave the way for ukraines membership in nato. The war in ukraine seems to be well covered compared to other wars and conflicts in the world. Did you learn something new that you didnt know before the trip . Of course, the plight of children in ukraine is what really moved me. It worries me that almost 20,000 children, according to verified data, were captured in ukraine and taken to russia, taken from their parents and their families, also barbaric. Russians, i went to bucha and spent a lot of time with the mayor of the City Learning about the barbarism that happened there. I think its much different when you go there and see it with your own eyes and then you can come back to the United States and talk directly to the American People about what what is happening in ukraine what are the russians planning and what do we need to do to help the ukrainian people expel the russians from their country and regain freedom and security in their own country did you meet with president zelensky without cameras can you share some the details of the conversation and the impression he made on you, i spent about an hour with him and he spoke extremely frankly about the challenges ukraine is struggling with and also very clearly asked me to convey to the American People how grateful ukrainians are for the help they have already prayed for and therefore they need additional help from today until the end of this war in order to successfully end it, and therefore he expressed not only gratitude for what has already arrived, but also very clearly indicated the efforts necessary to defeat the russians so that i returned with these messages to the United States in one of the interviews you said that the United States should help ukraine because of who the ukrainians are and because it is in the interests of the National Security of the United States, so now you convey this opinion to the American People why is it in the interests of the United States to help ukraine something for war, because we not only need Vladimir Putin to understand that such aggression will not be allowed anywhere in the world by freewilled people, but also because this is a proxy war between the west and china, china finances military actions russia, china is coordinating the efforts of the iranians and the north koreans to help the russians with more advanced weapons in the war against the ukrainians and therefore if the United States and the rest of the west are not willing to confront this aggression now, we will fight this aggression later but in other parts of the world and without the ukrainians on our side therefore, i believe that it is in the interests of the americans and i think that it is also in the interests of europe to make sure that ukraine is free. I noticed that among the republican candidates , ukraine is most supported by former members the Trump Administration you maisk penzlikergeilly what do you think why yes yes i think it is a random review those of us who support ukraine and i connected there those on scott do it because we see the role of the United States in the world differently than donald trump and the Landing Party and i think that the United States will not be able to remain a leader in the world if we leave ukraine, it is important for those who have intellectual curiosity and do not just say what is popular in the party at the moment, but think about the longterm interests of the United States these are the people who, like you you see they take a stronger position towards ukraine over there ukrainian it is some ukrainians in the usa who support donald trump they emphasize that thanks to trump ukraine got food what do you think trumps victory will mean for ukraine and for europe it would be a disaster because donald trump says he will stop the war in 24 hours and i suspect that he will do it by giving ukraine to Vladimir Putin, whom he called a brilliant leader , it is difficult to come up with a more incorrect characterization than to call Vladimir Putin a brilliant and great leader, so i dont think so that it will be good news for ukraine if donald trump is elected president but would you do anything different than President Biden if you were president yes i would give the ukrainians more artillery more guns more land air missiles and i would like to give them an f16 there is a spokesperson the day before where is it department stated that the administration is trying to introduce some measures to ensure the continuity of the us policy of supporting ukraine, regardless of who won the elections , what these measures might be and, in general, whether effective measures are possible to continue this politics, regardless of who will become the president. To be honest, i do not think that this is possible. Whoever is the president , that person will have a Significant Impact on determining our support for ukraine and therefore any measures that the Biden Administration is talking about, the next administration can very easily either cancel or strengthen depending on who s president it was an interview with former new Jersey Governor Chris Christie gop candidate voa asked the other contestants comment on your vision of the policy regarding ukraine estonia will give ukraine 150 units of small arms and ammunition for them , the government of the country announced. Industrial complexes and from the very beginning of russias fullscale invasion of ukraine , estonia was one of the first European Countries to condemn moscows military aggression the war prompts estonia to look into its soviet history in order to tell the Younger Generation about the dangers of totalitarianism yurii mamon will continue to walk the corridors of the peter i prison, where thousands of political dissidents were held in estonia during the soviet era, he spent almost 5 years of his life there because of accusations of anticommunism agitations , now petriltse is a museum of abuses of the soviet regime in the inner courtyard where a red soviet banner is symbolically flying, although with an antisoviet inscription, communism is the Prison Museum was created for the sake of one Simple Mission to show the main thing to warn the new generation against life under a totalitarian regime heikii still remembers it like it was yesterday and after thinking about it i think that the most characteristic thing is the smell that i still remember the smell of dirt sweat blood and fear. The soviet system was humiliating. The generation that survived communist repressions does not want this past to be forgotten, especially now that russias invasion of ukraine has revived, according to historians and alice, the actions of modern russia. The hopes of a Totalitarian Soviet Union are similar, and you are king. Todays russia takes various fragments of history from the soviet period or from the time of the russian empire in order to create a new picture and with the help of this new picture tries to find justification for its actions in relation to its neighbors. A large part of estonians consider the soviet past to be a period of temporary occupation. Of their country, so this period is mostly separated from national history, however , this is the opinion. Similar to our history in some ways very different, we need to treat it as our own past estonia was one of the first European Countries to condemn russias invasion of ukraine, it declared russia a state sponsor of terror that in 2022, and a little later, estonians even expelled the russian the ambassador, the political leaders of estonia say that if the youth in the country want to understand what is happening in ukraine, they need to look into the soviet past of estonia itself. It is important that the young generation of estonia regardless of whether it russianspeaking estonian could interpret what russia is doing right now in ukraine because interpretation is important estonia and russia are separated by a threehundredkilometer border and many years of stormy history, the war in ukraine continues and many estonians fear that moscow seeks to revive the soviet past, which means that history itself is also at risk yuri mamon voice of america this week, japan marks the anniversary of the American Nuclear bombings of hiroshima and nagasaki in 1945. Japans postwar constitution significantly limited its military power however, due to the growth of global threats, particularly from china and north korea, tokyo is forced to radically revise this concept , continued maria pros, in japan they are called kusya they are people who survived the Nuclear Bombings of hiroshima, nagasaki, these people are now well over 80, but they remember these things well events well, this is a place where i heard the sound of an airplane, i looked up and was blinded by a bright light, then i heard an explosion that threw me 20 meters and i lost consciousness , my mother had burns on her face and chest, it was hell 215,000 people died instantly, and tens of thousands more died. In the following months , the hibashi cat, together with other hibashi cats, came to the water to remind the world of the consequences of the use of Nuclear Weapons. Is at risk of becoming kusia and putins invasion of ukraine increases this risk more than ever after the defeat in world war ii, japans military forces were significantly limited the countrys constitution became known as the peace constitution because there provided for japans refusal of war as a means of conducting state policy and refused to receive troops, however, the increase in international tensions, in particular the militarization of the Pacific Region , is changing. The nearest security challenges for tokyo are north korea and its constant missile tests, as well as china with its encroachment on taiwan and the south to the china sea you can hear the gap between japan and china in terms of defense capabilities, now the japanese authorities recognize the need to overcome it and the japanese they support it because they saw what happened to ukraine by 2027. Japan plans to double its defense spending and increase its ability to strike enemy bases, which was prohibited for decades. The attitude towards Nuclear Weapons is also changing in society. All japanese understand that we have to rely on the American Nuclear umbrella. For many and grandmothers, these are troubled times, i am worried , the most important thing is to understand that misunderstandings between states cannot be resolved by force, so now japan is changing its doctrine from the postwar disarmament to strengthen its Defense Forces and in the goal after the nuclear bombing, they say they hope that the painful lessons of hiroshima, nagasaki will not be forgotten maria prus henry carved the voice of america the dachabracha quartet is currently on tour in north america and canada, where it performs fundraising concerts as a quartet informs about the events in ukraine of his fans abroad and what should be the musical diplomacy of shevchenkos baptism , the vocalist and musician of the quartet markom galanevich told gay yosi mountains in los angeles band dahabrakha is preparing for a performance at the ford concern site in the center of hollywood. Before the performance, the vocalist, musician marko halinevych, gives us an interview. It can be said that since february 24 , 2022, all our ee tours and all our work are fanraising, because a significant we allocate part of the money for various funds of our acquaintances who serve , and it is also important for us to speak in different ways about what is happening in our country, recently it has generally become even more relevant because it seems to us that the western public is im getting tired of this news. The first year we had a rather dramatic program. It was because it was tragic. We had a lot of such atmospheric compositions. Now we understand that we need to change it a little and more compositions have appeared that, in our opinion, carry some kind of hope. E, which are possibly more positive, er, because um, well, we need to find a balance, a balance, er, in order to reach the audience, because we dont want to tire them , so of course, in a certain way, we are going as if we are a spectator, but it is important for us to carry certain messages now and that they were it is important that they were heard and not just they were played and we said yes and thats all, unfortunately today we cant. Well, they wrote to us today that there wont be a video today, its a big trouble for us because the video is our video, which now accompanies our concerts, its very its informative, its emotional, its full of different contents and meanings, and it gives a better , better picture of our experiences, which we as ukrainians are going through now dahabrah is one of the most famous ukrainian bands among foreigners, the musicians are the founders of the genre ethnohouse composition Something Like oak became the soundtrack to the tv series fargo, it seems that we have picked up some uh key, some uh mm code before how to make ukrainian music based on ukrainian folklore, make it interesting for the world, we use uh different styles how is that blues, uh, somewhere were looking for ourselves in the country, somewhere uh, it can be triphop , that is, these experiments of ours are interesting, but anyway , the most important thing that we have is, anyway , the ukrainian base, ukrainian, a lot of hair , which just sounds like some clear and maybe for the world in the form of a bird, braha stopped performing in russia since 2013, we had a huge number of fans, as it seems to us, we had wonderful concerts in moscow, st. Petersburg, there are some in the urals , there are many places where we have been and they were nice, sincere people who listened to us up to a certain point , well, now they listen and still receive invitations to concerts, which, of course , cannot help but surprise us, no, no, after all, for money, as if bought, well, it was obvious to us that we are not we can perform for people what, well, theoretically there could be occupiers sitting in the hall and thinking about what we are there with our music, we will change them now, we never thought about it and were not, we did not have any such naive thoughts here, uh well, driving is just to make money well, thats not our history. Its the same people with whom we had such friendly relations there, they changed quite a lot, that is, our relations changed because they saw the development of relations between our countries in a different way. Cultural diplomacy is needed. We understand that. Until now there are all pores the world cant accept the fact that russia is a terrorist country because , well, they have tchaikovskys. They have ballet. They dont have it. Its not the country that can. Such, but well, because their cultural diplomacy or lets say cultural propaganda. It was very powerful at the time. They poured and are pouring huge amounts of money into it. Ukrainians almost did not exist at all on the cultural map of the world for a long time, and therefore this program must be filled by us hm in their strength we do it there ourselves, but always before the concert. We do a selection of ukrainian music. The support and state policy of the armed forces of ukraine and the ukrainian people made ukraine the biggest pr in the world, says marko galenevich, before we came as dakhabrakha, that is, they represented ukraine behind our shoulders if Nothing Happened somewhere there, klitschko, somewhere there, Something Like that slipped through people, but now you come and understand behind your shoulders, uh, this is a big country, which the whole world admires, uh, because it is a country of heroes, whose deeds, well, it is difficult uh, to overestimate, perhaps on this, it is possible on this heroic epos, in fact, we can say that this huge pr what made us the armed forces of ukraine, the ukrainian people, this is probably what we need to work on. Well, of course, it is important that the music and the musicians are interesting. Yes, of course, the appeal to folklore is a productive way for us, but this isnt there a panacea or is there a golden pill for everyone . That is to say, this does not mean that only folklore can be used to travel during the period of the fullscale war of dachabracha. They made all their efforts to make the maximum number of concerts around the world, and because this is also information well, two important components of information and costs that will go to victory are used , why dont you write something new now, and we . Took up a weapon at all and i definitely dont think about any kind of art , he is considered creative and risks his life every second after the american tour, the band will start a european tour, all this time almost everywhere the halls and festivals were full and a lot of people came to us, supported and bought a lot merchu and we are happy because of it , frankly speaking, the american audience is, in principle, the most emotional audience, well, how do they react to everything, that is, they, well, it rarely happens to us when in the middle of a song, there can be left behind and with applause something, some moment they liked it i think it is only in america this can happen from los angeles khrystyna and maidan shevchenko and for the voice of america download the voice of america mobile application the application allows you to automatically bypass blocking thanks to the builtin vpn service read news watch informational programs and videos and also listen to the podcasts of the ukrainian voice of America Service on this we will say goodbye you watched the program of the ukrainian voice of america time service also join our daily briefings from monday to fridays at 18 00 kyiv time on youtube and facebook.
