did not communicate with society at all at this moment, although the president actually has a tradition of telling society what laws he passed, for example, he once reported that he signed the law on national minorities, or that he signed the law on the selection of judges of the constitutional court, tradition communications of adopted and signed laws, the president has, why did he once again remain silent about the law on mobilization, this is the law of the year in general, the most important, probably, what was passed this year, why the president go on... shut up already, well, first of all, i am not currently a representative of the president, so i cannot answer why the president, you, until recently, were the president's representative in the verkhovna rada, and before that , the president's representative in the constitutional court, but i want to remind you that in his public speeches the president spoke many and many times about this draft law, so i do not see any problems with the fact that he did not report on the signing of this law or did not speak in his public appeals to citizens of ukraine, and what as for those... shouldn't have, should

n't have, i'm not saying that he shouldn't have, i 'm saying i don't know why he didn't do it, maybe he will do it again, but regarding those the law, must, must, tell me, should i, actually, i can’t answer what i should do, what i shouldn’t do, wait, you are a member of the verkhovna rada, how are you not supposed to answer, the powers of the president are clearly provided for in the constitution of ukraine, i did not see such a thing in the provisions of the constitution duty, how to report on the laws signed by him, therefore you know, speaking from the point of view of moral and ethical should or should not. i don't want to, and from a legal point of view he definitely shouldn't have done this, but regarding the laws you are talking about, we can say here that he should have done this and reported on this, because these laws concern of the european euro-atlantic integration of ukraine, this is the fulfillment of the requirements and recommendations of the council of europe, and of course he, as the guarantor of ukraine's course towards the european community, should have done it, there is a direct constitutional imperative. i i'm afraid, you know, there will be no course in...

the eu and nato if ukraine loses, so if we weigh the communication of one bill and the other, probably about mobilization, well , the bill is just as important as all the others that are signed the president, maybe even more important. thank you very much, fedir venislavskyi, people's deputy from the servant of the people and representative of the committee on national security, defense and intelligence, and i thank you, by the way, because you are one of the few from the servant of the people who comments, at least this one is very unpopular in society , including bill. thank you. the intelligence committee of the us house of representatives, after a secret briefing on ukraine, called on congress to urgently approve aid for ukraine by the end of this week. the corresponding statement was made public by the chairman of the committee, republican congressman mike turner, and a high-ranking member of the committee , democrat congressman jim himes. we must transfer aid to ukraine. today , our committee attended a secret briefing.

informed of the critical need for military aid to ukraine this week. the united states must resist putin's war of aggression now, as the situation in ukraine is critical. the american institute for the study of war writes in the current report that the delay in aid to kyiv from the us may help russia achieve success on the battlefield. according to analysts, the lack of aid has already led to a shortage of missiles in ukraine, which forces kyiv to make difficult decisions about distribution. air defense systems between the rear and front units, as a result of which the front-line troops become more vulnerable to russian air attacks. the heads of four congressional committees supported it speaker mike johnson's proposal to vote on separate bills on support for ukraine, israel and taiwan. until now , these proposals, let me remind you, came as a single package, and it was in this form that the senate approved them in february. the trump wing of the republican party, i will remind you, demanded that johnson not put the bill to a vote, and it really is enough. did not do this for a long time and only

now apparently changed his position, but proposed to divide the law into four different documents. democrats in congress and the biden administration have said that it is essential they do not object to johnson's proposals to enact aid for ukraine in a separate law. however, they are not in a hurry to draw conclusions, because no one has yet seen the text of these proposals. the trump wing of the republicans, to which johnson himself used to be attached, will continue to categorically oppose the continuation of aid to ukraine, and some republicans are even... threatening the speaker with resignation. tetyana vorozhko, senior editor of the ukrainian voice of america service, joins our broadcast. tatiana, good evening. what has fundamentally changed since yesterday, during the last day when we talked with you, and did the question of aid for ukraine get closer to some resolution or some logical point, let's say so. well, let's put it this way, there have been some minor changes, and still the situation can develop

according to three different scenarios. , yes, let's say, yes, the limit itself, that this draft law should be put to a vote already this week. i will remind next week there is another break in the congress, and in order to start with this text about it, to start voting for it, congressmen according to internal rules must have 72 hours, the texts have not been published yet, but just now the correspondent of the fox news channel reported that these are all four parts, and actually starting with the aid to ukraine, the aid to israel, they have already started to publish, as soon as they are ready these texts, they immediately publish them in such a way as to make it possible to do this. this rule is 72 hours and all of this is possible the meeting will take place already on the weekend, it is also impossible to drop the weights, and hello, oh my god, so tatiana, well, you are popular now, a popular topic, that is why they will not call you, i am 100%, so that means, it means 72

hours for to consider these bills, they will be brought under this rule, under a structural vote, so that... it can be amended, so that it can be deconstructed, in addition, there is another new provision, another new information that an additional draft law will be introduced, not in not among these bills, which, let's say, protects the border, this is an important point, because it was for this very reason that this very provision was criticized yesterday, and in our conversations with congressmen, some congressmen and republicans actually criticized well, the position of the democrats has not changed, they say that if this is the text of the senate bill on aid to israel and the pacific region, and if it contains humanitarian aid to gaza, it should be exactly 9 billion, by the way, this is such a clear, clear condition, what are they this bill is supported. the problem is that it could drag on a lot, it could be amendments, it could be

further debate, it goes to adjournment again, then we are approaching the second scenario. the second scenario, let's not forget that this petition remains to be brought to a vote in the senate. bill bypassing the speaker, and actually yesterday i spoke with a lobbyist and the director of governmental relations of an ngo together, and this is what he told me. many members of congress want to see if speaker johnson's plan will work. they want to give the speaker a chance to show what he can do, but everyone knows that the petition to bypass the speaker exists, and i think that's a clear plan b. if speaker johnson's plan... doesn't work, i think there is many, certainly many democrats, i think enough republicans, who will turn to this petition to accomplish the goal. and when will they realize that this plan isn't working? i think this week. so far, the speaker

has laid out a timeline that he expects the house of representatives to complete by friday time is running out if it looks like it won't happen, and certainly if the congress is here on friday. and they have not yet voted on the aid package for ukraine, israel and foreign countries, i think you will see members signing the petition. we need 218 signatures, we currently have 195 signatures, and in private conversations, off -camera, to us as well as congressmen, some have said that they are willing to join us and other reporters that they are willing to join in signing this petition. well , the speaker's third scenario is developing johnson will be able to try to resign again, such a step. done by two congressmen majera tellar green and massey and they need one or two more congressmen to join them, whether the democrats will save speaker johnson, that is not known because they say it depends on the text of the law, and one congressman gate, let's say yes, the

impeachment specialist, because he is the one who started this procedure to remove the previous speaker, kevin makarfi, and he told me that he does not support it, because that way the speaker maybe... i don't support the resignation motion because i'm not sure it won't result in a democrat becoming speaker of the house and confirming the election of president trump and potentially passing even more spending bills and doing even more damage to the country . when i resigned, i did a thorough analysis, promising the country that there was no way we were going to get a democrat speaker of the house. not sure i can make that promise today as a result of the margin. but you have the majority, as a democrat can become speaker. my estimate is that we may have two, three, or four republicans who, in exchange for

major committee appointments or chairmen, or leadership opportunities, or promises of campaign donations or other rewards, would be willing to support a resignation motion. when we had a four-vote majority, there was a sort of prisoner's dilemma that ensured a democrat would not become speaker. i have kept that promise, as i am not sure i can do it again, i cannot support the motion for dismissal. and of course, if that happens, you can expect the bill on aid to ukraine, the senate version, to be brought up for a vote on the same or the next day. tetyana, thank you very much, tetyana voroshko, senior editor of the ukrainian service of the voice of america, and on the same topic we are joined by hanna hobko, head of the board of the network for the protection of national interests and people's deputy of the eighth convocation, hanna, good evening, good evening, you also communicate a lot , advocate aid for ukraine. please tell me what you are watching where this whole story... is going and what it might lead to? well, in fact, the situation in ukraine at the front is

difficult, we see how much the enemy wants to have a strategic initiative and carry out offensives in different parts of the front, and all this is also a consequence of the fact that the united states of america, as a strategic partner of ukraine, has been for more than six months delays with this important decision, the price of delays is human. and so now, you know, it's like this series, what was it called, my god, american, no, there were 200 episodes, back in the day, maybe, i don’t know if it’s american, but there was one, i don’t know, well, he reminds me, you know, that is , all these when we admired democracy, because it was in the discussion that it was possible to remove the truth in the opponent, but to come to some common denominator and protect the national. interests in this case in this series we already see that the united states of america is losing its

authority, the authority of the leader of the free world. we see that these are all pseudo-arguments, and why can't they support ukraine when it is russian? propaganda with all its narratives is already voiced by congress representatives and so on. therefore, there is obvious disappointment in the inability of the congress to adopt a strategic policy. for the us solution, because the whole world is watching. china obviously wants ukraine to lose, because the loss of ukraine is the loss of the united states, and the longer there is a delay, the more distrust there will be in the ability of the united states of america to lead and to confirm that it is, that it is the leader of the free world. because they have democratic institutions despite the debate and so on further. but work and fulfill their obligations to partners. anna, unfortunately, we delayed a little with other topics,

not much time, one and a half minutes. please say yes, and what should kyiv do in this case? in the usa, obviously, there is no plan b, they hope to pass this law, when they pass it is another matter. zelensky says that without the help of the united states, ukraine will lose. what should ukraine do? first, god is with ukraine, ukraine will not lose. you can't bet ukraine's victory depends on. who will help from the usa or not, because i believe in some deeper plans, we started to prepare plan b, we see various initiatives of the czech republic, norway, obviously it will be more difficult for us, because many countries in europe did not prepare for the fact that the usa would lose its leadership and there will be some decadence or the usa and so on, so now it is very important that this coalition is decisive, which understands that only the defeat of the russian federation and punishment is the way to sustainable peace, because the axis stands behind the russian federation. evil that wants global dominance led by china, so we need to calm down now

clearly within ukraine to look for additional resources, but today i was looking for help with drones, others, for many who are fighting in the time gap and so on, that is, all the resources we have to continue volunteering, stopping, stimulating the general staff of the ministry of defense to attract innovations , we need to win the war for technology, we need to further inform the armed forces. to succumb to these, including russian ipso campaigns, that everything is bad, everything is lost, ukraine will disappear if the usa, listen, the usa once surrendered to us, when there was a famine, they recognized then, restored diplomatic relations with the soviet union, when we were written off, they said that we will not be there, let's go without these sad things, that if there is no help from the usa, then we will be finished, yes, we will suffer more, unfortunately, but oh well sorry for the emotions, it's simply impossible to watch this circus in the congress. everything and all these promises, tsetsyanka, ukraine needs to have a plan b, europe needs to have a plan b, to include britain, this, this

is not what i am saying, this is what volodymyr zelenskyi has stated several times on several occasions , that without the united states, ukraine loses, maybe it was aimed at the american audience, because he said it in an interview with the american media. thank you very much, hanna gobko, chairman of the board of the network for the protection of national interests, a member of parliament of the last convocation, that's all for today, i urge you to subscribe to radio liberty's internet pages until tomorrow. there are discounts on pulmolor 15' tablets. in pharmacies plantain, pam and oskad. vasyl zima's big broadcast. this is the great ether, my name is vasyl zemaye, let's get started. two hours of airtime, two hours of your time. we will discuss many important topics today. two hours

is in the controlled part of ukraine. we talked with the man. and now i will tell all the details of this frankly shocking story. his ex-wife left him, and so did i looking for, i want to take under my wing. she left home and then came back, but then, then she left again and i don't know the whereabouts of her common-law wife. so, when the full-scale war began, little sashko lived with his mother and his husband's grandmother in the city of lysychansk. this territory was almost from the first days. occupied, at the beginning of last year the mother of the child left home and left sashka with his old great-grandmother, from my own grandmother, yes, this is her great-grandmother, with my grandmother, it was a long time ago, probably somewhere in the 23rd year for sure, this the beginning of the 23rd year, i found out that maybe she had abandoned him earlier, at the will of my sick grandmother, left the house,

the boy was taken care of by his great-grandmother for a long time, and soon the old woman died. and the child was taken away by social services in the occupied territory. sashko was immediately taken away from lysychanskyi. all this happened about a year ago. the service came and took the child away, after that i knew where he was, what he was, well, i relatively knew that he was there by hearsay, by gossip, that he was somewhere in avchevsk, then he was in luhansk was moved, and then his whereabouts are not known, so i will look for him. is the child still in the temporarily occupied territory of luhansk region or not? the boy was taken to russia, so far it has not been possible to find out the father. the man, of course, turned to the police, but so far there is no clue to find out where his six-year-old son is. i am looking for my child, hrytsenko oleksandr oleksiyovych, i am asking for someone who has seen him, if anyone can tell by signs that he will be suitable,

martin jaeger called on other countries to follow berlin's example and provide ukraine with additional patriot systems. and the head of the british embassy, ​​martin garis, emphasized that those responsible for the russian attacks must be brought to justice. the deputy spokesman of the us state department, vedan patel, also mentioned the attack on chernihiv. another example of a terrible russian missile attack , this time on the center of chernigov, a city on of the north of ukraine, which is located approximately two hours' drive from the capital, kyiv. approximately 16 people died, more than 60 were injured, including children. the rockets destroyed residential buildings and a hospital. the photos of these attacks are horrific, but also highlight the need. national security as soon as possible. we believe that our support of ukrainian partners can continue to impact this conflict and can

save lives, but the house of representatives must act now. it's volodymyr's turn zelensky stated that there would have been no casualties as a result of the attack on chernihiv if ukraine had received sufficient air defense equipment in time, and if the world's determination to counter russian terror had also been sufficient. these days, we know that all eyes are on the house of representatives of the american congress, where, after six months of delays, they are finally planning to consider additional funding for ukraine. speaker mike johnson released the text of the bills and signaled that support for international partners can be put on voting already this week. our correspondent at the congress, kateryna lyusonova, will tell you more. katya, i congratulate you, thank you for joining the broadcast. i congratulate ostapo, and i congratulate our viewers. katya, tell us in more detail what we saw in the text. of these draft laws to support ukraine and what about the terms of their review, do we already have some clarity here? in general, the committee on rules of procedure of the house of representatives released

the text. bill on aid to ukraine a few hours ago, and it is from this moment that these 72 hours begin, for which legislators should familiarize themselves with the text of this draft law, actually decide to vote for or against it, and after that the actual voting for this aid package will begin. i would like to note that now it looks like the vote itself should be expected on saturday evening. voa has gotten a cursory look at this bill so far, and it doesn't appear to be much different from the senate bill. draft law, it generally provides for almost 61 billion dollars of additional financial assistance to ukraine, of which 10 billion is provided for economic assistance, which will be provided within the framework of this draft law, in debt, in credit. i would like to note that in general, there are two key differences in this bill: it is economic aid that is provided as a loan in this bill, but there is a clause that allows the president to forgive this loan, and the second difference is a call to the president to provide ukraine with

at missiles. however, this call does not oblige the president to do so. here it is worth remembering that aid to ukraine will be voted together with other applications and other proposals speaker, which he calls innovations, and it is not yet clear what the final text of this bill, which will actually be voted on in the house of representatives, will be. as for what both republicans and democrats actually expect from this bill and what to expect, how the vote will go. one of the main conditions is that the full amount of aid to ukraine, which the president requested last fall, remains unchanged, this applies to both military and economic aid. as for the near east, so do we we want gas aid to meet the president's request. if it was just a vote on ukraine, yes or no,

there would be no conditions for the democrats to... but if speaker johnson is pushing these issues as a package with all these different parts, then we want to make sure that they are fully funded , as required by the president. i believe that it is the right decision of the speaker to vote on each of these issues separately, they are all very different. i also think it's a much more complicated issue than just writing an unlimited check and not depositing any questions we will provide the necessary assistance. so this question should also be added. there is no worse way to put this to a vote than to split all the packages. you already have a bill that has passed the senate, it's a godsend, just take it and move on. i suppose the speaker

is hoping that... either way will save himself from being fired, but if he thinks he can appease the far right, he's wrong, but however we move forward, we have to do it, this time we can't leave washington without closing this question, the vote itself could take hours and hours, i think it will be a disaster if the amendments are allowed because the senate won't pass them and then we have to start all over again, these thoughts are important katy, if that happens, what... consideration of this issue will face difficulties in the house of representatives, do the lawmakers have a plan b? all in all, as we just heard in a comment from mike quigley, congressman, it looks like the speaker is trying to please with this whole bailout , because in addition to what he shared each, each aid to ukraine, israel and taiwan, a separate fourth point will be other initiatives proposed by republicans in particular, regarding debt assistance to ukraine,

confiscation of russian assets and transfer. them, ukraine, also regarding the banning of tiktok in the united states of america, also another part, according to the american media, will be border issues, in addition to saying that it will be possible to make amendments as well, so it should be expected that the vote, the voting process will be quite long , if even in the ideal version it will be put to a vote on saturday and this vote will take a long time, then there is a high probability that this whole package will simply not pass. alternatively, lawmakers i've spoken with say they expect republicans and other democrats who haven't signed a petition to bypass the speaker will do so, and that would be the second option in the plan to address the issue. katya, in this critical period , the mothers of the fallen american volunteers also arrived in washington fought for ukraine, you know, you saw them, what message did they now address to the american legislator. in general, they ask that...
