Consequences, president shajobaiden said. During a speech at the 78th Un General Assembly in new york, only russia will bear responsibility for this war, only russia stands in the way of peace, he added from the rostrum of the General Assembly for the second year in a row, this meeting , which is dedicated to the peaceful resolution of conflicts , is overshadowed by the shadow of illegal, unprovoked war the war of aggression started by russia against its neighbor ukraine , like every country in the world, the United States wants this war to end, but no nation wants the end of this war, and we strongly support it more than Ukraine Ukraine in its efforts to achieve a diplomatic settlement and ensure a just and lasting peace, but only russia, only russia is responsible for this war and only russia can immediately end this war. Children , russia believes that the world will tire and eventually allow them to brutalize ukraine without any consequences, but i will ask you the following if we abandoned the basic principles of the un charter for the sake of appeasement aggressor, can any other member state feel protected if we allow ukraine to be divided, will the independence of any other nation be safe, i firmly believe that the answer is no, we must confront this open aggression today to deter other potential aggressors tomorrow. That is why the United States and together with our allies and partners around the world , we will continue to support the brave people of ukraine who continue to defend their sovereignty and territorial integrity and their freedom in the course of the General Assembly my colleague Iryna Solomkova is watching the un in new york. She is joining our studio right now. Congratulations iryna iryna we just heard an excerpt about president bidens speech before the delegates and president zelenskyi has already spoken, what messages have come from him so natalya to whom zelenskyis speech was expected a lot and they waited, and even antonio the hotelier was present in the hall, when he started to announce, he returned there and to the meeting hall, and the first lady was also present, who was listening to her husbands speech, and the speech was in english, and volodymyr zelensky, at least before this part of the run, tried to show how , in fact, russia is distorting the world and turning such seemingly completely normal things into weapons, in particular, and he said that this is happening, for example, with food and and that russia, in fact, is doing Everything Possible for that in order to use food as a weapon and in order to put pressure on the world so that it would still recognize these changes in the territory yes and that the territories it captured should be recognized accordingly by the world that this is now the territory of russia besides that of course he said that before russia used energy, in particular gas and oil, as a weapon, but now with the beginning of this war , russia is now using Nuclear Energy as well. The whole world, in addition, he actually talked a lot about children, uh, and he said something like, for example, before yes, only terrorists , yes. That is, it was known that terrorists chose children from their families, so now what we see is that in essence, this is state policy. Of course, it is very infuriating and ukraine is doing Everything Possible to return these children, but it takes a lot of time, and during this time in russia, these children are taught to hate ukraine and their homeland, and also, but the president remained himself. Of course he even tried to make a joke, and when he was about to finish his speech, he said that you cant trust evil and ask the beautiful woman, and now you can also hear part of his speech. Ukraine gave up the Third LargestNuclear Arsenal, then the world decided that russia should become the custodian of such power, but history shows that it was russia that deserved Nuclear Disarmament more than others, and even in the 90s , russia deserved it and now terrorists do not have the right to possess nuclear weapons, but in fact the most terrible and now there is nonnuclear weapons while the Nuclear Arsenal stands still real mass destruction is gaining momentum the aggressor uses many other types of weapons and these things are used not only against our country but also against all your states he devoted a significant part of his speech to ukraine, what other delegates said about ukraine. And yes, the topic of ukraine, since the topic of the war in ukraine is very multifaceted and has many dimensions, of course. Because the topic of ukraines grain war is heard not only in the fields of the General Assembly, it is because of the General Assembly, it is also a lot of the measure of this meeting, multilateral meetings, yesterday, for example, a meeting was held 27 of the ministers of Foreign Affairs of the countries of the European Union, which was chaired accordingly by borel, and yesterday during the press conference i managed to ask him a question, in particular, in the context of whether there is still hope that the Grain Initiative can be renewed like this, and that is, what compromises the European Union is ready to make in this regard context and his answer was very frank and clear, of course we spoke with the secretary general who did a good job to prepare this agreement and maybe because the agreement worked well russia decided to terminate it and russia puts forward conditions more or less the same over and over again but to be honest i dont think that the issue in these conditions is about lifting any restrictions or sanctions because our sanctions do not affect the export of food and fertilizers i have said this thousands of times and it is absolutely true so dont look for excuses no look for false arguments russia should allow the export of grain from ukraine and stop the destruction of infrastructure what are its reasons for destroying the infrastructure that allows the export of ukrainian grain why there is no explanation i do not participate in the negotiations what the United Nations is conducting with russia , but it seems to me that there is no possibility of reaching an agreement, because i am firmly convinced that russia does not want this step, natalya. I also managed to talk with the minister of Foreign Affairs of Great Britain today. How Great Britain supports ukraine how important it is for the world to support ukraine and that this will continue and now you can also hear a part of this interview that we will show you in the next days ukraine deserves our support ukraine needs this military equipment and it is in our interests that ukraine defends itself and also defends the un charter defends the concept of sovereignty and territorial integrity this is why we will continue to support ukraine and this is why we continue to advocate for more countries to give more equipment to the armed forces forces of ukraine iryna during the visit, president zelenskyi has a number of bilateral meetings, we know, among other things, he will have this and that with chancellor scholz, Prime Minister ne taniagu, president erdogan for the first time will meet with the president of brazil lula so what should irina expect from these negotiations and what else is on the agenda of president zelensky in new york today his main attention was focused on the countries of the global rooster, in particular he met with the president of kenya and the president of the north African Republic so, during the meeting with the president of kenya , a lot was said about food security, about how african countries are suffering from what is happening now because of the war in ukraine and actions russia is destroying its port infrastructure, and in particular it was about the fact that they discussed steps to create grain hubs even in kenya. That is, this is one of the topics that was discussed during the meeting with the president of the south African Republic in kyiv. Grains, in addition to the agreement and the renewal of potential or new formats, the president also spoke about discussing the peace formula so that, accordingly , the countries of the global rooster would support natalya iryna more. Reforms of the security council, in particular, what proposals have already been made, and so on, this is a very important issue , and President Joe Biden spoke about it, and in principle, his delegation also spoke about the fact that this topic is extremely important for the United States , first of all. And for example, in us such formats that the United States offers, this is such an expansion of the composition and , after all, the inclusion of such as permanent members of the country is a global cock of the country, for example, it should be india, it should be japan, and these countries, which in principle have good relations with russia and in principle are very fluent, so in the International Arena , they support the initiative, and for example, i asked ivan klebel about this, and he said that of course Great Britain is also for this reform, it is not just overdue overripe and therefore i would like to hope that it will be discussed in more detail in these fields and the next year of the next assembly may bring some positive changes in this regard natal thank you iryna for your work, we will follow the visit of the president zelenskyi and talk about it in our next broadcasts in direct connection with the studio from the Un General Assembly was Iryna Solomko and we are moving on , american abrams tanks will soon be in ukraine, this was announced by the us defense minister and austin in germany at the Ramstein Military base where the meeting took place at the 15th meeting of representatives of more than 50 countries of the Contact Group on the defense of ukraine, the head of the pentagon also said that the armed forces of ukraine are making steady progress in the counteroffensive, breaking through the powerful fortifications of the invading russian army for the first time, the new minister of defense of ukraine, roste mamerov, took part in the meeting of the contract group. We will talk with our pentagon correspondent, ostap yarosh. Welcome to ostapek, everything. Pat, did you listen to the final conference based on the results of this meeting, what main points did you highlight, what new did this rammstein bring and that some breakthrough decisions were made for ukraine. In general , you probably know that breakthrough decisions are not adopted at the rammstein meeting. I wonder if they are discussed at bilateral meetings or are they announced for any other opportunities rammstein this is another opportunity for the leaders of the ministry of defense of Different Countries of the world to meet and discuss to align their watches regarding the further support of ukraine and as you already mentioned so it was the first personal meeting of the us secretary of defense with the newly appointed minister of defense of ukraine we are growing moderate regarding decisions maybe as for the specifics, after all, there were a couple of, er, a couple of announcements , first of all, as you already announced, really said laidoslin what is abrams soon to be in ukraine, another thing about which today he said that among the issues discussed at this meeting today, the United States called on all the countries participating in rammstein to provide as much ammunition for the air defense of ukraine as they can find as much as they can provide. He said that this is now an urgent need and called on the and this need to be closed. Well, we also started another solution yesterday from the pentagon, which will soon start the Language Training of ukrainian pilots here in the United States in texas, it will last for about 5 weeks, after which the pilots will start specialized training on the very yak16 in natalia ostapes horizon, we have repeatedly heard from the American Leadership that the us will support this country as much as it will be needed in the fall, and today the minister once again said that the us will provide support to ukraine to meet its urgent needs, but also in the long term perspective , is there such readiness in the rest of the country . He is sure that such determination and willingness to support ukraine in the long term is present, he stated today that time is never on the side of dictators, time is not on the side of the kremlin in this war and the kremlin is only isolating itself, more he called to see which countries russia is turning to for military support its north korea, its iran , its belarus, countries that on the International Stage are countries with goyim on which sanctions have been imposed. Only the United States or European Countries natalya this is also japan, this is south korea, this is australia , a country from all over the world, and yet, he is sure that this determination to support ukraine for as long as it will be necessary these countries also have the same as the United States, lets listen his comment today at this meeting 50 countries were present some of all countries had to overcome a considerable distance to be here and they are here because they do not care, they understand that ukraine is important and want ukraine to succeed today i saw extraordinary support for ukraine and already mentioned a number of deliveries made by countries they made those decisions in some cases regarding how we gathered for this meeting their governments still provide an incredible amount of support and we hope to see this in the future ostapa definitely support in the long term is very important but ukraine for a successful the continuation of the counterembankment needs help now, what are the promises of allies already today and how do they assess the progress of the contour offensive actions of the ukrainian military, congratulations, well, in the near future we expect the announcement of a new package assistance from the United States about this. Last week, the National Security adviser of the United States, jackson, also spoke, but we expect to hear an announcement from the white house about additional military aid for ukraine this week. Here he also asked the nation or donations for aid from other countries, in particular germany, which yesterday announced an aid package of 400 aamillion, which included, in particular , ammunition, which also included Armored Vehicles and demining equipment. Here he asked aa about the largest in the entire fullscale war russia received an aid package from denmark. It is about 830 million dollars, which also included tanks, ammunition, and other armored equipment that ukraine now needs to return its territories. The minister of defense also thanked poland separately. Aid and confirmed that such packages for ukraine will continue with regard to countermeasures, you know that they asked about this to the general militia and for whom by the way, this rammstein was the last because he is already a hero of the measure is retiring after that, i asked him if he was satisfied with the accountability and transparency of the use of ukraines weapons in this counterattack. So, she played. Miley answered that the best indicator of the responsible use of weapons is the results on the battlefield and the destruction of the russian army, and for everyone critics of ukrainian offensive actions, what is their pace here in the west, general mililius said that it is necessary to understand that war is not a computer game , war is different in reality and on paper , and ukrainians are not faced with defensive five are also trenches or other obstacles that russia has organized and the ukrainians must submit them as well, but he is sure that they will succeed in this, lets listen to this comment somewhere already defenseve bells is a series of defensive strips that the russians installed with complex obstacles minefields dragon teeth barbed wire anchor points etc. This is a deep defense , the ukrainians penetrated several layers of this defense , they have not yet penetrated 100 , but they penetrated several layers, they go through this defensive belt that stretches along and across the russianoccupied ukraine very slowly and very deliberately maintaining its combat strength so for the critics i would say that there is still a lot of combat power left and the ukrainians have absolutely no intention of stopping they are going to go to the ultimate goal thank you ostap for your detailed story with us direct communication with the pentagon was 10 years ago azerbaijan announced the start of an antiterrorist operation in nagornokarabakh, massive rocket attacks are taking place throughout the region , the official revanch is called the Armenian Genocide what do they say in russia, which is a military ally of armenia, andriy borys will tell about the new geopolitical schedule for the region, the city of stepana khert, the capital of nagornokarabakh, the sounds of an air alarm in the sky, shots are heard in the early hours of the day, according to the local authorities , the armed forces of azerbaijan have already started a military operation in the region data on the deaths of at least five people and 80 more injuries the ministry of defense of azerbaijan publishes a video from drones in the messages indicate that in this way they destroy the positions of the Armenian Army they are called antiterrorist operation of azerbaijan, armenians are not involved in any way, the topic of karabakh is an internal matter of azerbaijan , armenia has nothing to do with the region. It has to withdraw its troops from there, more than 10,000 of the armed forces of armenia. The authorities of armenia claim that there are no troops on the territory of nagornokarabakh, so they called for an end to the killing of civilians. Azerbaijan has actually launched a ground operation, subjecting the armenians of nagornokarabakh to ethnic cleansing , the start of a new operation in nagornokarabakh this is the third hot phase of the conflict in the region in the last 30 years this autonomy is populated mainly by armenians de jure it is part of azerbaijan and is actually independent after the last Armed Conflict three years ago azerbaijan took control of half of the region finally the territory is home to the Russian Peacekeeping contingent armenia is an ally of russia in the Defense Organization of the odkb of elsa, the match looks like the russians are currently doing little to protect the region , there are two versions here, either they cannot or do not want to help, or these actions are coordinated between russian peacekeepers and azerbaijanis, meanwhile, protests began in the capital of armenia near the government building and the russian embassy. People are demanding that the authorities protect the armenians of karabakh. While the russians are actively engaged in peacekeeping, official moscow has so far expressed concern and called on the parties for peace. Russian propagandists criticize the armenian government in their comments. They say that Prime Minister pshenyan himself is draining the country because he started looking for allies in the west, kittens, so serhii rasi pashinin tried to curtsy first in brussels, then in washington, but on the contrary, as you understand, they have the interests of moscow, he wanted to sit in a political tightrope but got political hemorrhoids, according to experts interviewed by the voice of america, the new confrontation in Nagorno Karabakh indicates a weakening of the naval role in the region, that is why armenia, which for a long time relied on russia in the conflict is starting to look for new allies , there is a strong armenian lobby in france, it is paris that is calling an emergency meeting of the Un Security Council in connection with the karabash operation andriy borys voice of america before the event in the usa more than 20 thousand varenyky 4 thousand cabbage rolls ukrainian clothing singing and dancing the 20th ukrainian festival was held in washington Iryna Shynkarenko and vyacheslav filyushkin attended the event justin, an american, loves authentic clothes and came to the washington ukrainian festival primarily for the sake of embroidery i am trying to find something for my daughters birthday she is a singer and likes original things the pattern is very original i like culture and clothes thats why i m here National Clothes and jewelry were considered by both women and men and children are the most popular among the smallest visitors ukrainian wreaths i like it because it looks like i have long hair i like to get candy and then more candy i really like the clothes it looks like it is very painstaking work many shirts are handmade bracelets and necklaces are very handmade they are unique beautiful , this is what i bought.
