Accountable defense institutions, peace negotiations with russia are not being held now because russia has refused it, if such negotiations ever begin , ukraine will be the leader in them, the spokesman said at the briefing of the state department and commented on chinas participation in the meeting in judea, we really believe that chinas participation was productive. We have long said that it would be productive for china to play some role in ending the war in to ukraine, provided that this role would respect the territorial integrity of ukraine and its sovereignty, we generally believe that it is useful for countries to be present and hear directly the position of ukraine. I should note that russia was obviously against these negotiations. This meeting was held to exchange views and develop a common language in support of a just and lasting peace in ukraine, to discuss how to end the war in ukraine, and to consider the practical consequences of russias war in ukraine and in around the world the same people commented in the National Security council of the usa more about judys meeting. Her main results and the reaction of specialists. The principles on which a just and durable peace should be built, what principles are we talking about and what are the main agreements that the gl parties managed to reach . Statements well, for example, a statement appeared today from berlin that german representatives believe that the meeting was a significant contribution to the cause of peace in ukraine, as for the principles, ukraine insists that it was about, in particular, the socalled peace plan of zelensky 10 points made public last year, he recognized the ukrainian representative Andriy Yarmak said that there were certain disagreements, but failed to go into details, but he emphasized that at least on the basic principles, it is about preserving the territorial integrity and independence of ukraine and observing the principles of the charter of the united nations, at least this one principle was enough for ukraine to talk about success. The very fact of holding a meeting of its representatives of dozens of countries is an even more serious achievement, or as ukraine obviously hopes. There will still be a proper result of such consultations namely, the peace summit regarding ukraine, which, according to the wishes and hopes of kyiv, should take place this fall judy 4 times more than at the previous consultations in copenhagen , the countries of the global rooster joined three of of the five brics countries, in particular, experts call chinas participation unprecedented, he noted that this may be a sign of certain changes in the deceaseds approach to the russian war against ukraine bohdane can we talk about chinas radical reversal in support of moscow is this a kind of balancing act in an attempt to maintain Partnership Relations with as much ukraine as possible er yes china really did not participate in the previous meetings in june in copenhagen in denmark now the chinese representative ligway who by the way visited er and kyiv this spring and the one who was in moscow represented china at this meeting. That is, we can say that the very fact of this chinese participation is positive, but on the other hand , note that today there was also news that the chinese minister of Foreign Affairs in england considered it necessary to call russian minister lavrov in order to conclude with the message to assure moscow that chinas position has not changed, that china continues to maintain, as beijing claims, impartiality with or without impartiality, but we also know that china offers his points in the position regarding the termination of the russian war in ukraine, unfortunately, he does not actually talk about the russian war and russia. He does not mention russia as an aggressor, but still , among those 10 points, the principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty is key when it comes to the issue of ukraine and this war and this , again, is also very important, and the importance of this very moment of this coincidence in interests, at least in this point , for example, is emphasized by american analysts and other western analysts in particular those with whom our colleagues from the voice of america spoke today are trying to make it clear that it is different from russia, despite the Strategic Partnership without restrictions that both countries declared back in february 2022, before the russian invasion, china is clearly not happy about this war, china had its own the peace plan, which many consider to be more prorussian than proukrainian, but the most important aspect of the chinese peace plan. There is respect for the territorial integrity of states and russia, so i dont like it in general, i believe that this was a successful intermediate step in achieving what ukraine wants. And in the end, this is some kind of peaceful conference. Thank you, bohdan, for your analysis , our european correspondent Bohdan Tsyupin was in direct contact with us, and we are moving on. Donor trumps lawyers opposed the demands of the federal prosecutors to limit the release of information regarding the latest indictment against the expresident of the United States, the first hearing in the new case against donald trump took place last thursday in a federal court in washington, trump is accused of trying cancel the results of the 2020 president ial election trump himself rejects all the accusations with details kateryna lisonova called his latest accusation false former us president donald trump, who is running again for this position, said this on saturday during a speech to his supporters in the city of columbia in the state of south crown last week, trump was in court officially charged with conspiring to change the results of the 2020 president ial election in his favor, thirdparty prosecutions will be difficult to prove, he said trumps lawyer john louro on ibc whether he acted corruptly or not whether he acted with knowledge of guilt or criminal intent they will never be able to prove it after trump posted online Something Like a threat to retaliate against anyone who persecutes him prosecutors asked a federal judge to limit the information that the expresident and his team can publicly share. Regarding this case, trumps team expressed indignation with the media and the american the people during the Election Campaign have a right to know what evidence there is in this case, provided that the evidence is not otherwise protected, so we will oppose it, the former Vice President of the United States has penz , who also participates in the election and is called to testify in the case, explained to cnn why he rejected a request by trumps lawyers not to recognize the results of the 2020 election ms. Vice president any other person should never have the right to choose the american president the right to choose the president belongs to to the American People and only the American People, the International Reaction to trumps challenges is not in a hurry, and this is not surprising to the professor of Political Science at the university of washington, james long, some leaders in certain countries have somehow learned the wrong messages from trumps behavior. But i think that right now they probably acted wisely if they remained silent and allowed this process will work itself out as they continue to try to maintain healthy diplomatic relations with the United States even though people abroad may be tired of hearing about the Affairs Trump or believes that these cases will have no consequences. The latest accusations against the expresident of the United States should be taken seriously. This is the opinion of Harvard UniversityInternational Relations specialist catherine sik king. If this is handled well in the United States and other countries take it into account, according to analysts, the situation with trump can also become an example of how the United States overcomes internal problems relying on the law kateryna lisonova Iryna Shynkarenko veronika baldirasi iglesias voice of america washington for american soldiers there are special gas stations with lower prices for gasoline and a network of Shopping Centers that sell things for the military and their families without taxes in such a Shopping Center and also at the gas station and Iryna Shynkarenko and oleksiy osyka rosa natal , the wife of an american soldier, visited a hairdressing salon for military personnel on one of the military bases near washington my husband has been living on a military base for 10 years, he tries not to buy fuel for his car anywhere except the gas station located on the same military base, it allows me to save money, i pay here about 3 dollars 35 cents in general, the whole market around now has a price of about 3 dollars 49 cents in general , i i get 5 cents off total plus my gas is tax free so i save a lot ceo of retail chain at military base myer genderson goal or fortmyer located near washington explains the gas station workers several times a day that military fuel prices are monitored to match the lowest on the market the cost is significantly affected and the absence of taxes the price here corresponds to the lowest competitive prices on the market so we conduct Research Within a fivemile radius using an Automated System to with to find out the lowest price for each type of fuel, our fuel pricing policy is to match the lowest price of our competitors and i can honestly say that we have one of the best place we emotionally throughout the day with the help of an Automated System to make sure that we have at and more competitive prices such cheap gas stations as fortmeyer are on many military bases in 650 and they are only part of a Large Network of taxfree services and stores for american soldiers every military base has the same business concessions just fort mayer so we have an express that has a gas station some bases dont have gas stations depending on the location we also have a main store a Specialty Store the network for the military in the usa is called exchange, in addition to gas stations and gas stations, almost every military base in america and abroad has a large main store , a Shopping Center with a food court, goods of famous brands, cinemas, dry cleaners, laundries and other services, one of the most Popular Services is a haircut, darling, a fortyyear veteran of the us army his experience does not betray his habits and every time he drives for half an hour to get his hair done at the hair salon on the military base this evening.

Most popular among the American Military in the 19th century. Then the soldiers were followed by merchants and sold them the most necessary things at inflated prices in order to overcome corruption and stop living on soldiers. The authorities introduced a system of certified sellers for the army, which later grew into the exchange network. Now the American Army has more than 2,700 such Shopping Centers. The motto of the Shopping Network for the military is to serve those who serve the country and go with the military wherever they go. So they also set up stores in hot spots where there are the American Military presence, we sell mostly the same things that we have here so that the soldiers who are there in combat zones can feel the taste of home and have somewhere to go to rest from everyday Life Activities in the war, the manager of the Shopping Center ralph genderson in 2002 opened the first such Shopping Mall in afghanistan on the territory of the kandahar airport.

Marina, when the film came out, it was basically about a month later. Yes, help, the premiere was at such a powerful sundance festival. And here i have tea. I had a feeling that this is what it is. Some kind of prophetic thing, unfortunately, i dont have such a feeling.

And actually my motivation and the main reason why i started working on the online project was that it was happening, but it was not covered either in the international media, or sometimes it was not
