the oldest sons are lied, but that's be no confirmation. she likes to remember them as they appear in these photos for me. specialists and this is my eldest sunset. he this is my andrew shaw . this is, are you sure little they were happy who my boys can do everything like cooking and baking from sydney or what do you but they grew up well and that's what they grew up together. i have boys to read and lawsuits and the, to all 3 of them graduated from music school when i couldn't tell them to come to school for a controller. natalia is supported by her daughters in new orlando and or less. yeah, they cool. her mother finished on the board, but i am so far as low as we tried to call whenever possible to ask her mom is doing fine. it places that she comes to us since with her grandchildren. my mother is also retired, but it says no one. you only have 2 or 3 small me to come and she does or since the husbands disappeared, orlando and or less. yeah. are in constant contacts,

trying to find out what happened to them. but it just doesn't seem to have that no one gives us any official confirmation or less. yeah. and i would like to us together to the security service of ukraine. elizabeth, now we constantly received the same on so that the russian side does not provide any information. there is no confirmation of any kind of watching and wants to try to. natalia says the lack of information is unbearable, but she hasn't lost hope that she'll one day be able to hold cassandra again or from school. that's what can i say? honestly, i tried to smile or not show my emotions over. i take few or walk so that no one asks what's going on. if they do my head starts to her as and i run away. i don't want to be seen to crush me, but i was one of grieving mothers speaking to d, w and ukraine. i'd like to get across now to our correspondence, caroline, at troy. joining us from t of carolina ukraine is trying to mobilize more if it's population for military

service, including those who are living abroad. can you tell us more about this recruitment drive? yes, this is a new level, as a solo player has different elements. a one of them is that old man, between 18 and 60 years old, arrow blige to register with ukraine's the military. and not only that, they have a to carry their registration paperwork on them. at all times, because ukrainians officials are allowed to ask them any time anywhere about of is a registration paperwork and they have to be able to show them that it's up to date . if it's not, they would have to pay a fee and they would have also to immediately search for registration center and and register. but not only that, also, as he mentioned to men of a service age leaving abroad, they will not be able to renew their passports. at ukraine consulates abroad,

without doing this paper work without having producing the, the up to date a paper work and having a registration with a ukraine's military. so this is also an opportunity for, for, for the ukraine and government to know how many people, how many man between 18 and 6 years old. they have abroad, who they could potentially call in if they are really meet them. the aim of all based clara is of course, to make the whole a recruiting procedure more transfer and, and also more efficient. and i understand currently now, some of these measures have been controversial, is presidents lensky, risking losing support for the war? because of these that he probably is he has already lost a lot of popularity here in the country. you probably remember clear back then in 2022. when the war started, his popularity was about 90 percent,

90. and this year that means 2 years after the war started in february 2024, his popularity has dropped to 64 percent. and this new mobilization, lo will definitely not to make him more popular. quite the contrary. also, he has made some political changes a here in, in, in ukraine a couple of weeks ago that i have not to make him popular. like, for example, asking his commander in chief back then generals a loose me add to get off about position. and putting general is there is, keeps a new come under, and she's a man that is not as popular as his predecessor. let's turn out to the news of the day as we've heard earlier, us president joe biden has signed that a package for ukraine into law. he said the 1st shipment of weapons would get underway in a matter of hours. how has that news been received and the reactions have been very, very positive, clear not only from presidents,

the landscape, but also from the minister of foreign affairs. mister clay, uh, and also the chief of staff, mr year mac. let me just read to you a to the last, the last communication of presidents lensky on this. he said, now we will do everything to compensate for the 6 months. at half past. in this debate and doubts, we must turn what the russian occupier has managed to do. over this time, i would put it as planning now against him. so as you can see, 6 months of the bay of the bait between the ukrainian government and the u. s. government, there has been a lot of conversation, and this really feels like a relief here in a, in, in the ukraine. and all the reactions have been positive, also from civilians and from soldiers who feel that they have the support of the united states. again, charlie, no, thank you for that. that is a correspondent currently, not you more in kiff and russia's invasion of ukraine. is that to be a big topic as us secretary of state anthony,

blinking holes talks in china when can visit comes as tensions between the us and china are rising. washington has accused beijing of helping mosque as war effort and ukraine, which it denies presidents that she isn't banging. vladimir putin though have previously said that they have a relationship without limits how to put limits on a relationship without limits on his for the emission to beijing. you a secretary of state, anthony blink, and we'll hope to put some distance between russia and china. pushing back on china's role in russia's war machine will be a top priority. china continues to provide materials to support russians, defense, industrial base, and all of this is fueling pollutants, warm machine, etc, attacks ukrainians and threatens european security. the relations between the worlds to top global rivals have been 10 since early last year,

after chinese by balloon flew across us territory, and fresh disputes relating to silver will tie one emerged since then they've thought a little shooting thing held face to face talks with he was present, joe biden, in san francisco last november, but he wants, has kept pressure on vision, sanctioning chinese firms that ship products to russia. the real estate department says china is supporting russia's war machine by supplying machine tools, computer chips, optics, drones, and cruise missile technology. micro chips are crucial and filling the gaps in the russian war effort. rushes semiconductor imports from china jump from 200000000 in 2021, to over 500000000 in 2022. as the war drags on, rushes, growing. economic and diplomatic isolation has made it increasingly reliant on china, its former rival for leadership of the communist bloc during the cold war, china appears to hold the upper hand and the relationship. washington warns it will hold being responsible if must go makes gains and you frame china has shrugged off

the criticism. i don't owe you what china has always controlled the export of jew use. items in accordance with laws and regulations, relevant country should not smear and attack what's her normal state to state relations between china and russia. we've tensions ratcheted up again last week after joe biden called for a hired terrace on chinese steel and aluminum. lincoln will have his work cut out for him. we can bring you up to speed. now it's about the world news headlines. president biden has also assigned into law a forcing take talk to so it's us business or be banned from the united states. while makers passed the measure over concerns the platforms, chinese owner shares users information, but the government take talks as the law as an attack on free speech. and it will launch a legal challenge eroni and media. se popular wrapper has been sentenced to death
