Air defense equipment, and what else agreed during the meeting between the president s of ukraine and the United States, lets tell how my colleague Iryna Shynkarenko told rob zelensky in the white house, based on the results of the conversation, the president because biden assured the ukrainian delegation that representatives of the democrats, republicans, as well as ordinary americans support ukraine because they know that it is fighting for freedom and sovereignty, he said russia could end the war already today, but instead, moscow is looking for weapons for iran and north korea. Joe biden noted that with the onset of winter, russia will again try to use war as a weapon, so that to help ukrainians get through the winter, the United States is sending ukraine a new package of military aid in the amount of 325 million, in particular to strengthen Ukrainian Air defense, and also, as us President Joe Biden noted , abrams tanks will soon arrive in ukraine. Today, i approved a new tranche of us security aid to ukraine, including more Artillery Ammunition and antitank weapons and the First American abrams tanks will be delivered to ukraine next week, we also focused on strengthening the capabilities air defense of ukraine to protect Critical Infrastructure that provides heat and light in the coldest and darkest days of the year, a new package of launchers and interceptors will protect ukraine , ukrainian elevators, hospitals, schools, and power plants will help protect the lives of ukrainians, the sixth ukrainian, we agreed to work on the future strength of ukraine, this is very important and strategic a decision that will allow us to prevent any new aggression against us, against ukraine, our people , and this will be one of the results of the vilna declaration of the g7 and our Bilateral Agreements in the field of security, we reached a new agreement that will strengthen ukraines defense capabilities against longrange missile attacks, the ukrainian side was hoping for sniping attacks, the white house announced that they had decided not to provide them yet, but the us president does not rule out such a possibility in the future , however, biden assured will help ukrainians not only to defend themselves from russian aggression, but also to survive economically, so during the meeting, joe biden introduced the special representative of the president the United States on the restoration of ukraine certain pritzker and noted that the United States and its partners are interested in helping kyiv reopen markets and mobilize investments to carry out the necessary Economic ReformsIryna Shynkarenko vyacheslav filyushkin voice of america summarizing this meeting, President Biden announced in ukrainian two countries, one clear firm and unshakable signal we are together and although president zelenskyis visit to washington lasted only a day, it was full of events before the conversation with joe biden zelenskyi had the opportunity to meet with representatives of the congress, if ukraine does not receive help, we will lose said the ukrainian president , later the american senators shared their impressions of the conversation with zelensky with the voice of America Natalia it was he who innovated the persuasive arguments that with the help of america they will win and if we stop helping them they will lose and if putin gets away with hands down what he is doing in ukraine he will continue to move into europe and china will probably invade taiwan if you dont understand this you have missed a lot of history lessons i thought he was persuasive but and modest you know ukrainian people regained half of the territory in 18 months and not a single american died nato increased russian economy is collapsing russian army destroyed it was a good investment for the American People we already had a war for 20 years after the 9 11 tract but this time we did not lose no soldier, this is a partner they dreamed of, they are preparing to fight , they just need your economic and military support, they do not want our soldiers, so the idea that ukraine is irrelevant makes no sense from the point of view of American National security this is simply ridiculous if you think that china is not watching you simply do not understand and putin will continue if we defeat him in ukraine we will make the world a better place and all it takes is American Military and economic support which is part of our of the defense budget, we will destroy the russian army without losing a single soldier , the opposition to Vladimir Putin and the barbaric invasion, when you see president zelensky, the word that immediately comes to mind that courage was good questions from senators from the grain to the counterattack what happens if there is any change in support and you see the result in the us senate when you have 80 86 senators voted for the defense bill and only 11 against it we have strong bipartisan support having such leaders. Like sumer and mcconnell , there will always be people who have different views , this is democracy, but the vast majority in the senate, the vast majority of democrats and republicans firmly support ukraine, and we also have an argument, our allies together provided 88 billion in aid in addition to accepting refugees as European Countries i just met with the Prime Minister of norway on sunday he came to minnesota and talked about strong support for ukraine so i think the fact that other European Countries south korea and other countries around the world stand up for democracy is a really strong argument that we can present to our colleagues that this applies not only to america and ukraine, but to democracy throughout the world during congressional meetings, zelenskyi also had the opportunity to voice his position for critics of aid to ukraine before Congress Considers bidens request for an additional 24 billion in aid for ukraine, however. Did the ukrainian president manage to convince american lawmakers, they told my colleagues tatyana vorozhko if you want to put america first, protect ukraine in our interests ukraine , this is where the fundamental aspects of democracy are actually now, if this draft law were brought to the meeting, it would pass with a bicameral and bipartisan support i think that in the end the chamber also supports who wants their resume to have the fact that when the world order was challenged they blinked their eyes isolationism was with us forever it will always be with us but the Second World War taught us that peacemaking never ends evil good putin is evil he is a warlord but he can be defeated i will tell my colleagues in the house of representatives that you are writing World History do it right it is hard to predict what will happen in the house of representatives we have problems even with our own state budget but i continue to believe strongly in the support of senator schumer and senator mcconnell, moreover, the aid to ukraine is included in one package with the aid that other states really need , florida, hawaii, it will be difficult for them not to vote for it, so i wait, like with the election of the pope , when you see the smoke coming from the church in the vatican , this is something that we expect from the house of representatives. The supremacy of the right of democracy and the people who are at the forefront of the fight for democracy. These are the people of ukraine, and how do you assess the likelihood of supporting the budget request of the white house, which provides for 24 billion for ukraine, the majority of republicans support the approved, meanwhile , the pentagon said that it would insure its activities in support of ukraine against a possible shadowAmerican Government this was reported by the spokesperson of the us ministry of defense here, this will allow the continuation of training of the ukrainian military, the delivery of weapons and support of the armed forces of ukraine even if the American Government will stop its work, it may come after september 30 if the congress is unable to overcome differences and vote for additional funding, in which case it will affect the work of American Government agencies, many of which will be forced to stop their work , however, the pentagons activities to support ukraine will continue meanwhile, while Volodymyr Zelensky was Holding Meetings at the ukrainian embassy, the first lady of ukraine Olena Zelenska communicated with students of Georgia State university, she donated to the library of the university , 260 books about ukraine with a call to develop the program of ukrainian studies in the usa in turn. Of anxiety throughout the country, everyone saw a photo of how even our firstgraders. Schoolchildren who went to school for the first time this year sat the entire first day of their studies in the warehouses of their schools for the past two years, russian bombings in 81 universities were damaged in ukraine, it is true that only their buildings can be rebuilt, the worst thing is that people die during the last event, the visit of the ukrainian delegation to the usa , the president and the first lady thanked the americans for their support and presented awards to a number of american volunteers and other figures who help ukraine. The ceremony in the National Archives was attended by tetyana vorozhko and Dmytro Melnyk president of ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi and first lady of ukraine olena zelenskyi is not an evil empire but the lack of unity can put freedom on knees in his speech in the premises of the National Archives, Volodymyr Zelenskyi emphasized the need to remain united in the resistance to russian aggression. We will do everything so that our unity, the unity of ukraine, the United States and the entire free world became stronger than ever. The ceremony , which began with a delay of more than an hour and a half, came some of the most influential politicians in the usa, leading members of congress , highranking government officials, ambassadors, representatives of the Ukrainian Community of experts and business zelenskyi emphasized that if ukraine half of europe will fall, it can become a russian sphere of influence, American Investments in Ukrainian Security and Global Protection of freedom work one hundred percent, each center is a whole list of putins other, instead of dictating conditions to america, europe and the whole free world, putin is forced to humiliate himself by personally receiving a delegation from pyongyang and trying to find the favor of tehran, he shouted president zelenskyi, gratitude to the American People was the main message of the speech. I want you all to know that america saved millions of lives of ukrainians, millions men and women, children and adults in cities and villages, millions of ukrainian children can now be with their mothers, men on the front lines now feel that their children are waiting for them in cities and villages, this is possible because most of ukraine is free and we must liberate all our land of our people, i thank every american, every world who helps for every life saved in ukraine , for every life saved in ukraine, the first lady of ukraine, Olena Zelenska, recalled her first visit to the United States a year and a half ago, which became her First Official visit and the first time when the first lady of the country was asked to provide her country with weapons, i returned home with your support with weapons such as antiaircraft defense that protects our people, adults and children, this was the path of patriots to ukraine and already thousands of lives were saved after the speech the president of parsheleds presented awards to volunteers and activists, doctors and spiritual leaders who help ukraine, among them 13yearold rai hirschforn, who, together with his father , collects funds for the purchase of medical equipment for ukraine is incredible to meet the president is the best thing that has ever happened to me and it will help with awareness of our charity and we will be able to help many people , the president of the revive foundation says the same in sweet ukraine today was awarded the order of princess olga is already a friend for revan solodyusi ukraine went more rocket when the americans started looking at where to give them money, they saw a photo of zelenskyi and of course, it helped us to collect a certain amount of money and transfer a significant amount to aid of the army of ukraine and also start bringing seriously Wounded Soldiers for treatment in the usa. Other awards that the voice of america talked to say that this is an award for all us volunteers who help ukraine. Thank you very much for the award , but it is not my award it is an award for our community of our community of the terrible hardworking every day of ukraine and we must do everything we can every day and every day, no matter what the contribution of volunteers is, it cannot be compared with the feat of ukrainian soldiers on the front lines, says a cardiologist and volunteer and yuriy dychakivskyi it was very nice to receive recognition from the president of ukraine, we support ukraine as americans a thousand percent, so i am very grateful, but our contribution is nothing compared to the women and men on the front lines in ukraine who fight and die and all the volunteers who support them, so ukrainians are real heroes in this world , and our task is to help them. Can we help tatyana voorzko , Dmytro Melnyk, voice of america . Of ukraine met with Prime Minister justin tridois and also made an address to the Canadian Parliament for the first time. In which he thanked for ukraines support during the reception of zelenskyi in the parliament , trudo announced that over the course of several years, ottawa will allocate about 500 million us dollars to ukraine, part of which will be used for procurement leopard2 tanks for ukraine. In addition, he promised to send canadian instructors and technicians to train ukrainian pilots on the f16 during a visit to north america. The ukrainian delegation among others are trying to attract private investments necessary for the reconstruction of the country, about what American Business in ukraine advises newcomers who are just deciding whether to invest, and also about expectations from the newly appointed us special representative for the economic recovery of ukraine, oksana bodratenko spoke with andrii gunder, the president of the American Chamber of commerce in ukraine. In washington, you communicate with american corporations and the American Government. What do you hear from government officials from the company and what do they ask of you . Well, the main thing is this is what we are telling them now that kyiv is standing ukraine is standing and business is standing united with ukraine and not only business is standing but now business is developing in us just as we brought our latest Research Together with grids we conducted just this week new research that 84 of the Companies Work entirely in ukraine, those that were and continue to work and, on the contrary, are developing today exactly one year after mcdonalds opened as a restaurant, and this is working in conditions when there are air alarms and when there was no supply constant electricity and business is just adapting. Last week the president appointed uhe authorized representative of the United States for Economic Development penny prisca mrs. Priskar we know well since 2000 uhuh well 15 years when she was the secretary of commerce and she has roots from ukraine near bila the church is a big press and its role. Now i really want to hear what the business in ukraine wants now, this American Business that is working today , what are the challenges, what are the opportunities to convey this to these companies that are not yet in ukraine, but the main one is first in her emphasis and focus will be on these companies that are already working in ukraine, so that they are the best ambassadors. And these Companies Really are. By the way , many of them are Companies Like the american pfizer bowling, weezer mastercard , mcdonalds from cocacola. What i just drove unites everyone the managers are all women. Will it be cooperation with the American Government . She is a former representative of the government. She is a former secretary of commerce. And she will work parttime. That is, she will work in the state department. A week but it will be like a halfterm but with the balls that she will be traveling very actively and soon aa i think that the date will be announced very soon when she will already come to ukraine and she will support business but she will also. What will support for reforms do with this, our Research Shows that now the biggest threat , the biggest threat right now is security, the security of people, first of all, and the security of property , the Agricultural Sector is really powerful, and there is an opportunity for even more growth, we see such industries that also inspire as informative technologies, if in 2015, the entire market there was 1 dollar, the entire market today is already seven, almost seven and a half billion dollars, the entire Information Technology market, and this simply shows that ukraine is really such a power house in Information Technology that companies are developing and for the whole the world and ukraine is now one of the most digitized countries in the world, and it is these programmers who are currently developing artificial intelligence, these directions are really developing , despite the fact that many people have left yes well, the question of migration is very relevant because we believe that the reconstruction has already begun. Companies have started to rebuild , for example, near kyiv, the cocacola plant is one of the largest in europe. It was under occupation when the russians entered from chernihiv , it is near brovary. They occupied the factory, then in march 22, the armed forces liberated it, and today it is working again at the same facilities that existed before the war, and it is precisely these companies. They work and really need people, and there are many who volunteer went to serve on the front line to protect is now and the mobilization continues. Now we expect that girls with a medical education will also be called on to mobilize, so the issue of people really remains relevant , and president zelenskyi really emphasizes this constantly, and i think that there will really be a need for reconstruction, it will be the largest reconstruction of the country in europe after the Second World War, you said that Companies Already working in ukraine should become such ambassadors, your association has been working since the 90s years old, probably the oldest association for International Business in ukraine, the companies experienced very different periods in ukrainian history eh hmm there is a lot of writing and talk about ukrainian corruption still the assessment of corruption is very low in ukraine assessment of perception of corruption eh according to the index what is this company that already have worked in ukraine for a long time. What do they say to newcomers . The main thing is to really listen to these companies that are working, and we just arrived together. Ukraine 300 Million Dollars and you can take it to ukraine eh right transparent honest business the main thing is not to solve it right having good lawyers and a lot of questions arise and then Companies Come to us and together we bring the voice of this business to the state authorities a lot of work before the rule of law, the most important thing is judicial reform, because if there are any disputes, its just not the search for some preference, its the search for justice, and the most important thing is the search for this justice when it comes to this now we are heading towards the rule of law, judicial reform, and this is fundamental, and we really need to talk about it, and i think i will be the first to raise this issue together with president zelenskyi and the government, and because investors want it and it is necessary for future development of the economy of ukraine, does the government listen to the demands for reforms regarding transparency and justice put forward by business, they listen , sometimes they hear the full version of the interview with the president of the American Chamber of commerce in ukraine, see it already on our website we also later it will be on our social networks, presented on instagram, facebook, the x network, as well as in telegram, and of course on youtube, and to conclude this week, we will return to the topic that shook the world on tuesday, september 19, azerbaijan announced the beginning of an antiterrorist operation in Nagorno Karabakh to restore there is a Constitutional Order and to oust the military formations that azerbaijan considers to be illegally supporting armenia. The authorities of armenia, in turn, declared that the russian peacekeepers failed to ensure peace in the region and asked for assistance of the un security council, details and results of the conflict that lasted 30 years in the material of andriy borys, the fourth day in a row protest in the center of yerevan they demand the resignation of the government , they accuse him of inaction, failure to protect the ethnic girman in nagornokaras , several people were detained due to clashes with the police, including opposition politicians, im a pure armenian, im not afraid of you or your cakes, artsakh. This is the historical name of the territory of the modern nagornokarabakh autonomous region, inhabited mainly by de jure armenians it is a part azerbaijan is a de facto unrecognized country supported by armenia, it has been like this for the past 35 years, and this week the Azerbaijani Army conducted a lightning operation , took control of key strongholds and heights , local armenians capitulated and went to negotiations, i already told the local armenian population that you are our citizens and armenian nationalists war criminals , the leader of karabakh armenia simply took these people hostage, poisoned their brains, the first round of negotiations took place in an azerbaijani city, there is a flag, but so far no concrete the parties did not reach an agreement. Shaun kuma passed. The situation in Nagorno Karabakh remains very tense. The humanitarian crisis continues. If the situation does not improve, it will become our problem. We have prepared 40,000 places for possible migrants. Why didnt they prevent the conflict, the authorities in yerevan long ago warned moscow about the threat of escalation , according to the former advisor to the Prime Minister of armenia , russia gave azerbaijan the green light to invasion, the political power in armenia is democratic and this is inconvenient for putin, it is already like a textbook, any former soviet country that embarks on a Democratic Path is punished, and it is usually territorial, we see it in georgia, we see it in ukraine , now armenia has joined the club according to kharatyan russia is now playing on antigovernment sentiments in armenia in connection with the events in karabakh and hopes to bring prorussian forces to power in the country. If earlier only russia had influence in the south caucasus, now it the monopoly was violated by turkey and partly by the eu and the usa. Ankara actively supports the armed forces of azerbaijan in the United States. They recently conducted joint military exercises with the armenians in the normalization of relations between armenia and its neighbors. This is the only way to include the armenians in the western community. At this rate, western countries currently have limited influence in the region, because they do not have a military presence there, experts say, so they limit themselves to calls for peace, as happened the day before during the Council Meeting security of the un on the situation in nagorno karas andriy borys voice of america on this we will say goodbye see also our daily briefings at 18 and on youtube and facebook where you can ask your questions live to my colleagues ostapa jarosha and Yuliya Yarmolenko thank you stay with us peace be upon you have a peaceful weekend.
