Bidens main task will be to preserve the Broad International support of ukraine in its defense against the russian war. My colleague iryna solomka, who follows the events in new york, joins our broadcast. Iryna welcomes what can be expected from President Bidens speech at the General Assembly. Congratulations maria, as you have already mentioned despite the fact that there are no debates this week, the debate actually starts tomorrow, but today in new york almost everyone is standing and a lot of delegations have already arrived, including joe biden today for example, he has a planned meeting, such a preelection meeting is closed, at which he was going to collect funds for his preElection Campaign, and tomorrow, from about half past ten to ten, we are waiting for his speech in new york. And of course, as you said, the topic of ukraine will be heard on it in addition, i just returned from john kirbys briefing , where he said that, of course, in addition to ukraine, it is very important to show that since this event is not just about ukraine, it is about the key challenges currently facing the world and other countries, it is very important to show that ukraine is not only not only ukraine in the center of attention, therefore, of course, a lot of attention will be paid to my global rooster and there we are its health care and the topics of challenges in the context of the global climate, so all these topics will be expected tomorrow he will talk about them during his speech, and it is also a very important topic, of course, because last year the president of baidu did not start this topic in the context of reforming the united nations, and this year, of course, this topic is again will be heard because, according to john kirby, President Biden believes that after all the Security Council should be more, that is, so inclusive and more countries should have access to it , accordingly, the voices of more countries should be heard on this square on this square maria to new york already president zelenskyi has also arrived, do you know what he will say, and yes, maria , we flew in just recently , it is known that not today. He plans to visit one of the centers where ukrainian veterans are treated and given prosthetics. Their state awards, at least as i was told in our delegation, in addition to mr. Zelensky , the minister of Foreign Affairs , dmytro kuleba, the prosecutor general, and the first lady will also be open to the delegation, and the ombudsman of ukraine is also coming, so in principle, it is expected that the president will of course talk about the war, he will speak in ukrainian language , he will have two speeches tomorrow. Mr. President of ukraine himself, he will talk about will try to establish this dialogue precisely with the global rooster, that is, unfortunately, not unfortunately, just the topic of the global rooster and the topic, these will surely be two key topics that will be heard on all platforms of the General Assembly all the coming days maria well and under a number of other international rather important events usually take place during the ghana assembly. I know that you just visited one of them dedicated to the reconstruction of ukraine. Tell me what you heard , but before i would like to add that in fact, another important such part of the program will be a separate program for the first lady, who also came, and also in the fields of the un , for example, an event dedicated to ukrainian children will be held, in which the first lady will participate, as well as a ukrainian athlete, and they will speak there, as well well, representatives of ukrainian nongovernmental organizations that take care of this topic, they will talk about the state of ukrainian children due to the war , as well as the problem of deported ukrainian children, returning to your question, yes, one of these key events, very status events this week, these are the very initiatives for the client , which have already started today, and this is such a huge discussion platform where the key challenges are discussed, but this morning a separate session was also devoted to ukraine and its reconstruction of the situation with refugees and there there were also those people, american actors, american activists, who, in principle , supported the topic of ukraine in the American Media during these one and a half years, they discussed what could what will happen next, how should we help ukraine and within the framework of this initiative, thats why tomorrow we have such a little exclusive , a separate one will be announced tomorrow, because as part of this event, they are announcing their commitment to implement projects, so tomorrow at four oclock in new york time will be it was announced that as many as 10 projects this year are dedicated to ukraine and they are taking on the context of this initiative of the Clinton Foundation and they are undertaking to implement 10 projects in ukraine and i managed to communicate with one of the initiators of this the project that will be dedicated to the construction of any hospital in ukraine in the town of brody, now you can hear how he explains why it is important, we realized that we can make a significant contribution by consolidating the destroyed infrastructure into a modern center, then we stopped and thought about where it would be better to do it brody has a strategic location nearby with the main road that connects kyiv with europe , they are at the same distance from the leading cities in western ukraine and defined by the ministry of health as a strategic place, the most important thing is that we we have very good relations with the local community. We understand their needs very well. Having collected all this information, we started a project to build a new hospital, which will open up new opportunities, because we will give the opportunity to already existing local staff who already have funding and it will increase to work in a modern hospital using modern methods thank you, iryna, it was the correspondent of the Ukrainian Service of the voice of america in new york , iryna solomko, one of the topics of negotiations of the ukrainian delegation to the un General Assembly will be the export of ukrainian grain, the president of poland after all, duda also told what about ukrainian grain. He plans to speak with president zelensky during a bilateral meeting on tuesday. Now, the minister of agriculture of poland said that warsaw could potentially block the future accession of ukraine to the European Union if the grain issue is not resolved, lets talk more about it with our european correspondent by bohdan tsyupyn bohdana hi please explain what are the main claims of poland and other european states that have become key export routes for ukrainian grain. In fact, we have been talking about this for several months, and in particular, in the jazz time program, we talked about how, in fact, as a result of the war, and in particular, due to the blocking of ukrainian ports in the black sea, primarily due to this , ukrainian grain exports went largely overland through the countries of the European Union and the western on the borders of ukraine and in those countries, the governments said that this created problems for their farmers, that the influx of ukrainian grain of various types of grain was so great that it was driving down prices for local farmers, even the European Commission was reluctant but agreed to a temporary ban on imports, i emphasize imports and not the transit of ukrainian industrial exports through these countries, but the complaints of local farmers continue, and in particular what they consist of, we can hear in the story today from bulgaria where bulgarian farmers protested, this is ours, that is gaudia zmidevska and all about the union of Agricultural Producers is protesting because the purchase prices are low for fodder, milk, meat and everything we produce, and the prices in Stores Remain high, oil is expensive , bread is expensive, milk is expensive, cheese for all this high prices, but for us everything is falling and collapsing, what is the official position of the European Commission now and what is being heard from kyiv, well actually the position of the European Commission of the executive body is very clear , it was announced on september 15 that the temporary ban has expired and that ukraine will take measures, in particular with the help of licensing and other actions so that the grain did not settle and did not flow in only in some of these socalled frontline countries of the European Union, but in poland, where a very tough Election Campaign is underway, the government announced that it was going for a unilateral ban because will protect their farmers, as they say there, they said in a similar way in hungary, probably not surprising many in ukraine, in particular , the government of slovakia did this, only romania and bulgaria said that they would not continue the ban at the moment. It is interesting that the criticism of such a position is those who decided further to ban the import of ukrainian Agricultural Products was heard from the partners of the ministers of agriculture, who were meeting in brussels today, the defect america is that any country is a member of the eu. I do not evaluate any individual country. But the fact that any Country Resorts to unilateral actions limiting access to the common market, it looks like something illegal. I dont know the eu laws that would correspond to such actions, but the commission is responsible for the implementation of agreements and i think that it will do its job. The position of the commission is very clear, namely that those restrictions were not necessary to continue that they are not needed and according to our information, the market is able to successfully accept ukrainian grain. I would say that otherwise it is semisolidarity , when it suits us, there is solidarity, and when it is not, there is no solidarity. Its a pity, because the only one who benefits is Vladimir Putin or every eu country must fulfill the agreements, so there should not be any unilateral actions if there is no Single Market , the European Commission must ensure that the Single Market operates this has always been our main demand. We also propose to expand transport routes, in particular, capacities european ports so that ukrainian grain goes as quickly as possible to where it is needed , i. E. To the middle east and africa. Therefore , we are talking about important issues that are important both for ukraine as a grain exporter and for the European Union as a common Single Market is called the greatest achievement of the eu in relation to the future negotiations on ukraines accession to the European Union. It is obvious that such issues will be the subject. They may be a problem, but the most important thing for ukraine now is to maintain the support of partners and , first of all, poland and other neighboring countries during the war in ukraine. With russia, because this help, this support of European Partners is obviously vital. Thank you, bohdan. This was the correspondent of the voice of america in europe. An International Event for President Biden and other state leaders in the last two weeks after the g20 summit, my colleague tetyana vorozhko, who worked at the summit, spoke with the ambassador of ukraine to india, oleksandr polishchuk, in an interview, he told about indias proposal for a peaceful settlement of the russian war in ukraine and about the relations between india and russia, the first such obvious question is why the minister appointed as the minister of defense became the ambassador in india. Our relations with india, including the very important for us sector of cooperation in the defense and technical field. India did not vote for the resolutions on ukraine at the un and there was no official condemnation of russias actions in ukraine. Can ukraine still expect from india some more support and understanding, of course , this is part of my work. Today, i believe that once again, returning to ourselves , since we see the wording clearly articulated in the final document, regarding the fact that we should stop any manifestations of aggression, attempts to seize foreign territories, the threat of nuclear weapons, and all the participants of the summit agreed with this thesis , well, it is obvious to them, and it will be logical to continue this support of your words in the voting that takes place at the un General Assembly, well, one of them will be from the tribunal asking about aggression. Or india . Maybe somehow these questions can be more interested than in the previous resolutions, the efforts we are directing to the implementation of the peace formula of president zelenskyi, and uh, we have a clear support from our indian partners, for example, in issues related to ecocide occurring in ukraine. Today, we held an export meeting on the basis of our embassy, which was dedicated to selfexamination of Environmental Protection issues in ukraine from the negative consequences of war. As well as humanitarian demining, indian partners have quite strong capacities and opportunities to help ukraine carry out this work. You know that we have more than 170 aa thousand square kilometers seriously mined, there is a high interest of Indian Business in coming to ukraine and helping in the renewed reconstruction. Problems that exist in the supply and food security, we expect that india will more actively participate in the issues related to food security, that is our task, that is, within the framework of the working group that we are starting in each of these directions convey these problems to our indian friends and look for common ways to solve them. We need methods for assessing the damage caused to nature, we need an assessment of the damage caused to the infrastructure and well, i think that india is absolutely ours the export environment can help in this. And in relation to him, it is also expected that the issue of the reform of the un Security Council may be raised during the meeting between modi and biden, and one of the points of the declaration according to the results was that both countries support the reform, and he first of all Security Council and that the us supports indias participation in the Security Council, including as a permanent member of the council of security and what do you think is possible and what will it mean for ukraine . India definitely has ambitions in the perspective of development in the next 50 years. You to be a member of the un Security Council uh will india become a full member of the Security Council or not we will observe this process of course uh in this context india will need to change its traditional approaches if you want to be a Global Leader you cant remain neutral and you have to be aware of what you are responsible for the decisions that are made in the Security Council. In this sphere, but i understand that there are already some problems, and is it possible for ukraine to replace russia after the end of the war , actually, as a partner in the military sphere . Sphere we we see the great interest of our indian colleagues in studying the experience of the use of Weapons Systems that is currently taking place in ukraine. As you know, these are not only soviet systems they are also western systems, and i would not talk about the fact that today there is such a high level of military Technical Cooperation between russia and india, and russia does not fulfill its obligations to our indian partners. And in general, there are great doubts, eh, as a conclusion from the use of soviet equipment on the battlefield , is it appropriate for india to develop in this i believe that the reforms that are taking place in the indian army will be aimed at closer interaction with western partners. We have seen a successful visit and continued dialogue on issues of militaryTechnical Cooperation between india and the United States ah, the same intentions were declared by president macron to deepen militaryTechnical Cooperation with india, so i think that this drift has acquired such a permanent character and the russians have nothing to count on here yet such a hot topic, the russians still expect to sell oil to india, not very expensive, the indians pay for it, but nevertheless, this export is happening, they could explain it to our audience , we will say ah, well, what now, what is happening with it now, that is, how much is this a problem or does it depend india from russia through oil, we see a clear trend that the volume of purchases by india of oil from the Russian Federation is going down rapidly and i do not think that there is any evidence that there will be a return to the supply of e oil in to the extent that it was in was still well, almost six months ago, and india is aware of its responsibility, first of all, and secondly , even from the point of view of commerce, this is a rather unprofitable story, which is really not, well, it is not profitable for anyone to continue. I have attention in india and russias financing of the war or obtaining money for the continuation of the war. Well, this is a bad story. Russias war in ukraine changed the attitude of the inhabitants of the japanese islands to the American Military bases located there. The presence of the us military previously caused protests and local discontent, however, with the growing tension in relations with china and the shock of russias invasion of ukraine , the mood of the japanese is changing, according to voice of america correspondents, there are currently about 30,000 american troops on okinawa , the usa has maintained a significant military presence on the japanese islands since the end of world war ii, when after three months fierce battles, the american troops captured in kinava, the us military bases caused discontent among the local population and 10 people who are now in their 60s and 70s remember their parents told them about the battle of zaukinava they took part in campaigns against military bases and therefore are sensitive to this issue noise from airplanes, military equipment on the roads and potential danger became additional reasons for opposition to military bases and after the rape of a twelveyearold girl in 1995 by three American Marines local residents went on mass protests however , now the mood is obviously changing, polls show that the majority of local residents believe that instead of having kinava, american bases have be located on the main territory of japan, however, young people have a different opinion, although the location of us military bases is not supported by the majority of young people who believe that nothing can be done with them, since the military bases are already here, but also that they are necessary for the defense of japan, only a few hundred kilometers to the west taiwan is located across from oknava. China has stepped up military exercises around the island and this has caused concern about a possible invasion. Residents of kinava are wary that their islands could be involved in the conflict in december, the chinese Aircraft Carrier for unin passed through the Miyako Strait just near the main island of kinava ekoshki kino the Security Threat from china is becoming more and more real changed the attitude towards American Military bases and the fullscale invasion of russia in ukraine it is not clear why the situation happened in asia i think that many scientific people believe that since no one knows what can happen , it is necessary to prepare for it in the end. The presence of the american you if the peace of japan is protected i think this is a good question for taiwan is a problem when i watch the news about the war in ukraine i think that having the power of the us army is absolutely necessary i personally have a lot of negative associations i take it hard because my grandparents also survived the dru world war, so i would be happier without you, so the sad past continues to bother the residents of okinawa, and the geographical location of the islands leaves them on the front line of geopolitical tension Iryna Shynkarenko henry ridgebell voice of america okinawa japan cannabis for ukraine such a festival recently took place colorado is the First American state where it was allowed to grow, sell and use marijuana not only for medical purposes among the leaders of retail sales in denver, a chain of stores was founded by ukrainians they initiated the event to raise funds to help ukraine says svitlana prystanska and Volodymyr Petrovych organized a cannabis festival for ukraine.
