See you in a week on espresso. You are watching the ukrainian voice of America Program chas time, my name is maria ulyanovska. Congratulations. In washington today at 8 pm, us President Joe Biden will address the American People with a special speech. He will talk about israels response to the hamas attack and the russian war in ukraine. It is expected that the white house has received a request to congress in the amount of about 100 billion dollars. It will include defense aid for israel, ukraine and taiwan. We are the voice of ukrainian america we will broadcast this speech. It will take place at 3 pm kyiv time. And what else joe biden will talk about and how the president will react to the request in the congress, we will talk with our correspondents Yulia Yarmolenko, who joins from the white house and Kateryna Lisunova, who follows the events in the capitol. Yuli, hello, the first question will be to you, do you know what else the president wants to convey to the American People in his speech . It is worth noting that this is only the second such address, a primetime televised speech, or President Bidens address to of the American People directly from the oval office in the white house, president s choose this format not by chance, they choose it in order to directly address americans. Because this speech will be broadcast live by all the leading american tv channels, and this is in the history of the United States , president s chose this format when they wanted to announce and explain a new political initiative, or in case of emergency situations, and this maria once again emphasizes at what level the President Biden puts help ukraine and israel, what will this speech be about, President Biden has two main goals , firstly, he wants to inform the American Public about how his administration is responding to the hamas attack against israel, but also to the russian war against ukraine. And the second is to explain why it is in the National Security interests of the United States to help two countries that are actually thousands of kilometers from the United States. And indeed, maria, we are waiting. That later after this speech, President Biden officially will ask the us congress for additional funding for ukraine, for israel, but also potentially for taiwan and for strengthening the southern border of the United States. We know that previously this speech was supposed to be purely about ukraine, and this was announced by President Biden at the beginning of october, but after hamas on. Attacked israel, the emphasis shifted somewhat, so now this speech will be about two priorities of ukraine and israel. Yuli, do you know how much the administration will ask to be allocated to aid for ukraine, you know, maria, we do not know the exact amount , but as expected, as reported by the American Media with reference to their own sources, it is a package of additional financing in the amount of approximately 100 billion dollars, but it is worth noting that this financing will not only for ukraine, but also for israel, taiwan and for the strengthening of the southern border of the United States, we do not know exactly what sums the white house will ask for in congress, but some media reports that it may be several dozen billions for ukraine. The previous request, we remember, was for 24 billion. This one, it seems, can be bigger, and this package, this package of additional financing for ukraine and israel and not only, is the result of several weeks of negotiations between representatives of the white house and key players. Key legislators in the house of representatives and in the senate, and that this package will be. Not only funding for ukraine or separately for israel, there are certain calculations here that maybe legislators can unite around a joint package for key National Security priorities of the United States. Well, actually, after the president s address, this funding should be allocated by congress, whose work, by the way, is still blocked. Katya, i congratulate you , please tell me what the Current Situation is in the capitol, is there already a speaker in the house of representatives . I congratulate maria, i congratulate yuli, i congratulate my colleagues and our viewers in general. Today there was a kind of breakthrough in the situation of electing the speaker, because the favorite of the farright republicans , jim jordan, announced that he would not yet submit his candidacy for the third round, reelection the round of voting for the post of speaker and supports the initiative to expand the powers of the acting speaker, actually the speaker, Patrick Mchenry, noted that the latter was appointed to temporarily perform these duties by the previous speaker, on paper, at least this is the decision, as reported, the American Media proposed to on january 3, it is expected that during these few months , jim jordan will be canvassing his fellow Party Members to finally get the necessary number of votes for him and for him to take this position fully and that he would eventually become speaker of the house of representatives, but decided not to continue, so to speak, endless votes, because as of now, it doesnt look like he has enough votes. Fellow Party Members in order to take this position finally. As for the position of the republicans and democrats, regarding such news, the republicans continue to be so to speak in a split, that is, different positions, some republicans welcomed such a decision, said that it is actually a logical next step, while there is still no candidate, who would be supported by all republicans, while others believe that this is a wrong move and that the speaker should be chosen from within. The Republican Party until they succeed and that they should have continued the voting procedure for jim jordan, but noted that everything is being decided now not only the republicans, there are also closeddoor talks going on in the gop and the democrats are also debating whether they support the initiative to extend, im sorry, not to extend, but to extend the powers, Patrick Mchenry, who was appointed. Actually by the previous speaker, kevin mccarthy, and thus get out of this crisis at least temporarily. Today i spoke with one of the leading democrats in the house of representatives, gregory meeks. He noted that he supports the current negotiations within the party, they hope that it will be possible to come to some kind of bipartisan solution. I also now suggest listening to his comments, as well as those of the republicans, who both supported and opposed this decision. I have just been informed that jim jordan will not be running for the vote for speaker, as far as i know, there are some proposals in the works right now, so the tamocrat republicans are going to their caucuses right now, so i ll wait and see what those talks bring us, but as far as i know, mr. Jordan has finally said that hes not will call a vote for the post of speaker. I think Patrick Mchenry will do a great job with those duties, i know im going to be. Competing offers, but in my opinion, if were really going to select someone on an interim basis, that person should have all the power and authority to carry out those responsibilities, it will also give us as republicans a chance to defuse the escalating escalation of what is turning into a very emotional and difficult process to select a speaker. I think at the end of the day, giving mcgahney expanded powers makes the most sense. We made the second most popular republican in the country. Second in popularity who is first . Do you all know who this is . Donald trump . Is there anyone else who can take this seat . I dont think so, i dont like this idea of a temporary solution. To me this is just a departure from our course, i believe we should meet, shed our jackets, pack our lunches and not leave the negotiations until we elect a speaker. Donald trump should be our speaker. Put donald trump in that chair and hell fix everything. I suggest giving him 100 days. Katya, if we talk about this new aid package, do the legislators support unifying aid to both ukraine and israel . It was led. The question is, do the associations in the congress generally support the financing of additional aid for ukraine and israel, ive talked to representatives of both parties, and ill say that in general, the position on this issue is divided among democrats and republicans, and between the senate and the house of representatives, so many republicans that i spoke with say that these two packages it is necessary to vote separately that aid to ukraine and israel should be divided, and they do not support. Such an initiative, this, this is the vast majority of republicans in the house of representatives with whom i spoke, in particular even republicans who actually support aid to ukraine, but also believe that it is necessary to separate these positions , these two aid packages, in their turn, the democrats, with an overwhelming majority, both in the house of representatives and in the senate, support combining additional funding for ukraine and israel into a single package and i will note that the republicans of the senate are also in solidarity with them, at least. The leader of republicans in the senate, mitch mccone, made a Statement Today that it is necessary to combine aid packages not only for ukraine and israel, but also for taiwan. I suggest listening to statements like republicans and democrats, both in the senate and in the house of representatives, and with whom i managed to talk just now. I believe that those bills should be separate, for this necessary funding, it is important that we separate it. I support the unification of these bills , i sincerely believe that the United States should support ukraine and our allies, this is a matter of survival not only for ukraine and israel, but also for the entire freedomloving world. An alliance of states opposing freedom, democracy and the free is now being formed rights for peoples. I believe that this will have enormous consequences, and i hope that the us congress understands this as well. In the coming days, the senate will be required to take Decisive Action to provide maximum support. Israels defense and equipping ukraine for victory, what exactly this victory will be, they must determine on their own, as well as to help taiwan contain the growing threats. The prosperity that america has enjoyed for most of the century is a product of our leadership. Saving it means being close to your friends and invest in your own strength. Indeed , the congress has very interesting days ahead, it is necessary to decide on the speaker of the house of representatives, it will be necessary to give some kind of answer to the request. President biden regarding additional funding for both ukraine and israel and possibly taiwan, we will follow this topic, also watch the live broadcast of joe bidens speech on the voice of america ukrainian Youtube Channel tonight. Let me remind you that Yulia Yarmolenko joined us from the white house, and Kateryna Lisunova spoke about the events at the congress. On to counterbalance the antiukrainian wing of the republicans in congress , conservative supporters created the republicans for Ukraine Organization in august. They run an Advertising Campaign aimed at strengthening support for ukraine by legislators from this party, and also rate congressmen and senators for their position on ukraine. Yes, jim jordan received the lowest rating one, and interim speaker Patrick Mchenry was rated excellent. My colleague tetiana voroshko met with the spokesperson of the campaign and asked him about how President Biden can get some republicans to support ukraine, and what the buzz around the new speaker of the house of representatives means. Tonight , us President Joe Biden is going to make a speech about helping ukraine and israel. What messages do you expect to hear from him, to be heard by the people you work with, republicans who are wavering about supporting ukraine or are against it. I hope that joe biden, tonight, when he calls for support for both ukraine, yes and israel will remember. Heres a Ronald Reaganesque way to remind traditional republicans that support for democracy, both here and abroad, is central to the Republican Party of the past, and that republicans need to get back to that someday, is what i hope to hear tonight from joe biden the house of representatives is still trying to elect a speaker, jim jordan, their nominee. Your organization provided him with a unit for ukraine, which would accompany your notes. This grade . Jim jordan voted against of support for ukraine and made comments that also do not support ukraine and we gave him a one on the report card. We called. For the next speaker of the house of representatives to be someone who supports ukraine, and im optimistic that Patrick Mchenry will be more supportive of ukraine, so i hope its in ukraines best interest that jim jordan doesnt become the next speaker of the house of representatives, but if he does become speaker , will it simply kill all ukrainian legislation . Jim jordan has done nothing to prove that he will do everything to support ukraine, i fear that if jim jordan becomes the next speaker of the house. Representatives, the support of ukraine from the congress will be under serious threat. We will expect a joint aid package for israel and ukraine, possibly additional aid for taiwan to strengthen the southern border. Can this package pass the house even if jim jordan becomes speaker . Even with the joint package, i fear that after the removal of mccarthy from the post of speaker of the house, such rank and file republicans are afraid of a vocal minority in the Republican Party like matt gates, who has sent a signal to republicans that if they support ukraine, their jobs are in jeopardy, so what worries me is that rank and file members of congress in the Republican Party will be afraid, its small, but very the loud wing of the Republican Party that has taken over the rightwing infotainment media pier. But what about other minorities, or even majorities in the house of representatives. Who support ukraine, dont they have a voice . They have voice and i hope they use it. When you look at our report card, there are many excellent students, but there are also those who we gave twos and threes. I think it shows how divided the Republican Party is again on this issue. I m afraid that those who we gave fives and fours are afraid of alienating their electorate, the loud republican voter donald trump. There is a fear of their alienation, but i hope that our organization republicans for ukraine sends a signal to republicans, and of course to republicans and to Republican Leaders that there are many ordinary reagantype republicans who support ukraine. Meanwhile, yesterday in congress, a group of protesters broke into one of the capitol buildings, demonstrators called on congress to take measures for a ceasefire between israel and hamas, the action was organized by the organizations jewish voice for peace and if not now. The Police Arrested about 300 people. The story about how people live in israel now was prepared by my colleague yurii solonets. He talked to a ukrainian woman anastasia rybalova, who is fleeing the war for the third time. In 2014, she moved from occupied donetsk to kyiv. After a fullscale invasion, the girl found refuge in israel, and on october 7, the war met her again. About life under martial law in israel, further in the story. Where were you on october 7 when the hamas invasion of israel began . We live in the center, this is the city of batyam, telyaviv district, it is approximately 80 kilometers from the gas sector. Israel itself is a small country. You can remember the first hours that. Happened with you and your loved ones . It was a saturday, we were sleeping, somewhere around 6 in the morning a siren sounded, but i thought it must be a training siren. Israel usually warns about this two weeks in advance, at least, that is, everyone is ready, everyone knows that there will be sirens, everything is normal, it is as usual, we are bombed there, nothing new, this time no one warned about anything, and that was it its strange, there on the border
