- 2:43Ukraine firms hire more women and teens as labor shortages biteReuters VideosSTORY: Liliia Shulha has landed her dream job after years in what she described as "boring, sedentary" office work. Now she drives trucks with Ukraine's leading retailer, Fozzy Group. Ukraine has lost more than a quarter of its workforce since Russia's invasion in 2022, central bank data shows. And businesses are hiring more women in traditionally male-dominated roles. Childcare is in short supply though, and Shulha had to move back in with her parents for help with her two teenagers. "Yes, people are curious and shocked when they see me. They all film me on their phones when I deliver or load my lorry. They take pictures of me, whether it's passers-by or others, they're all shocked. Soon there'll be more us, and people won't be that shocked anymore. Soon it won't be news anymore that women work in such professions. Then people will leave me alone." Millions of people, mostly women and children, have fled abroad, and tens of thousands of men have been mobilized. Reuters spoke to representatives of nine Ukrainian companies who found that staff shortages and a growing mismatch of skills were big challenges. In the agricultural southern region of Mykolayiv, women like Maria Korolenko are being trained as tractor drivers, as well as tram and truck drivers, coal miners, security guards, and warehouse workers, companies say. "I understood how necessary it was for me to work. Not only for me and not only for my family. Right now, unfortunately, the men are being taken away - more and more of them are being taken away. And it's so hard. Now we do all the work that the boys used to do. // When the war is over, when we win, the guys will come back and give us holidays." Businesses have raised wages, and are hiring more retirees and teenagers. Vodafone has repackaged its youth program to bring more young people on board. Ilona Voloshyna is head of training and development in Kyiv. "Right now, we're feeling the shortfall even more. If we look at the numbers from last year, around 40 percent of our specialists have left our shops. So, we're feeling the lack of the workforce in the market." The government and foreign partners have launched several programs to help Ukrainians reskill. But analysts expect the jobs crisis to persist and warn it could endanger post-war recovery.4 hours ago

- 1:56US, UK offer Ukraine aid, raise hopes on long-range strikesReuters VideosSTORY: The US and Britain's top diplomats unveiled more than a billion dollars in new, combined support for Ukraine Wednesday. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and UK foreign minister David Lammy were visiting Kyiv to hear Ukraine's war goals. In a press conference bookended by air raid sirens, both foreign ministers also hinted at lifting limits on for long-range missile strikes into Russia - which Ukraine desperately wants. However there was no clear answer by the end of the briefing. "Among other things, we discussed long-range fires, but a number of other things as well. And as I said at the outset, I'm going to take that discussion back to Washington to brief the president on what I heard, I know that David is doing the same." Lammy and Blinken had arrived at a critical juncture in Ukraine's struggle against Russia. Russia has been advancing in the east, putting pressure on Kyiv. Meanwhile, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has been pleading with allies to remove curbs on long-range U.S. ATACMS and British Storm Shadow missiles, to strike deep into Russian territory. But Washington, and some European capitals, fear that would provoke Moscow and draw the West into a direct conflict with Russia. Overnight, U.S. President Joe Biden suggested there was room for compromise and that his administration was 'working out' the long-range strike limits. While Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of Russia's lower parliament, said Moscow would consider the U.S. and its allies to be parties to the war if they allowed Kyiv to use long-range weapons to strike deep in Russia. Speaking on Wednesday, Zelenskiy revealed he will travel to the U.S. later this month, to present a plan to Biden and both candidates in November's presidential election that he hopes will bring the end of the war closer.13 hours ago

- 1:01Blinken, Lammy offer aid to Ukraine during Kyiv visitReuters VideosSTORY: :: U.S.'s Blinken, UK's Lammy promise more aid for Ukraine during a visit to Kyiv :: Antony Blinken, U.S. Secretary of State "With an expansion of attacks from Russia pummeling Ukrainian cities, citizens, infrastructure, with monstrous brutality. And now Putin's further empowering his aggression with the acquisition of Iranian ballistic missiles. So we're working with urgency to continue to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to effectively defend itself." // "Among other things, we discussed long-range fires, but a number of other things as well. And as I said at the outset, I'm going to take that discussion back to Washington to brief the president on what I heard, I know that David is doing the same." :: September 11, 2024 :: David Lammy, UK Foreign Minister "Today, I can confirm more than 600 million worth of support for Ukraine, including 242 million this financial year for immediate humanitarian, energy and stabilization needs, as well as support for reform, recovery and reconstruction." Blinken and Lammy are expected to push Ukraine for more information on its strategic aims as they consider whether to give the go-ahead, according to Western sources. There is nervousness in Washington and some European capitals that doing so would provoke Russia towards a direct conflict with the West, while officials also recognize that Ukraine needs more help if it is to swing the war in its favor. Blinken has declined to say whether Washington would give permission but said multiple factors went into any decision.23 hours ago

Zelenskiy has been pleading for Western countries to supply longer-range missiles and to lift restrictions on using them to hit targets such as military airfields deep inside Russia. U.S. officials have voiced doubts about such a move amid fears of instigating a direct conflict between the West and Russia, but overnight U.S. President Joe Biden suggested that there was room for compromise. Thousands of civilians have died in the war, which Russia started with a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Millions of Ukrainians have also been displaced, while many cities and villages have become piles of rubble.

- 2:03Ukraine strikes Moscow in biggest drone attack to dateReuters VideosSTORY: Ukraine on Tuesday (September 10) launched its biggest drone attack to date on Moscow. The 144-drone bombardment killed at least one woman near the capital, Russian authorities said, and wrecked dozens of homes. Russia said it downed at least 20 of Ukraine’s drones as they swarmed over the Moscow region - which has a population of over 21 million. Footage from the city’s Ramenskoye district showed fires breaking out in homes after drones damaged high-rise apartment buildings. And according to Moscow’s regional governor, it was in this district that a woman was killed and three people were injured. Yulia Rodionova is a resident in the area - her windows were shattered and a fragment of a drone was left on her balcony. "A man was taken out from the house number 21 - he had his side burnt and a fragment wound. They also carried out another man, a very elderly one, and quickly got out a woman. That's all I saw, I don't know any more." Russia’s defense ministry said over 70 drones were also downed over the Bryansk region and tens more over other regions. Three of Moscow's four airports were closed for more than six hours and almost 50 flights were diverted. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the strike on Moscow shows the "Kyiv regime" is Russia's enemy - and Russia needs to keep fighting. Kyiv said Russia, which sent tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, had attacked it overnight with 46 drones - 38 of which were destroyed. As Russia advances in eastern Ukraine, Kyiv has taken the war to Russia. It has executed a cross-border attack in Russia's western Kursk region - which began early last month. And it has been carrying out increasingly large drone attacks deep into Russian territory.2 days ago

- 1:13Funeral held for Ukraine family killed in strike as US announces more aidReuters VideosSTORY: Hundreds of residents of Ukraine's Lviv gathered to mourn a mother and three daughters killed in a Russian strike on Wednesday (September 4). Seven civilians were killed and more than 50 wounded in Wednesday's drone and missile attack that hit a residential area of the city. Seven-year old-Emiliia, 18-year-old Dariia and 21-year-old Yaryna shared a funeral with their mother Yevenhiia Bazylevych. The funeral took place on Friday, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy urged Western allies to ignore Moscow's "red lines" and allow Kyiv to use long-range weapons for strikes on Russian territory. At a U.S. hosted gathering of Ukraine's allies in Germany, Zelenskiy presented the long-range strike options as a way to pressure Russia to end the war. Washington pledged a further $250 million in weaponry for Kyiv. Germany promised to supply an additional 12 self-propelled howitzers to Kyiv while Canada said it planned to send more than 80,000 surplus small unarmed air-to-surface rockets as well as 1,300 warheads in the coming months.6 days ago

- 0:47U.S. pledges $250 million more in weaponry for UkraineReuters VideosSTORY: :: Washington announces another $250 million in arms for Kyiv at a meeting in Germany :: Lloyd Austin, U.S. Defense Secretary "Friends, this is a critical moment. Time is of the essence, especially with winter on its way, and we must all step up our support and quickly. So I'm pleased to say that President Biden will announce today an additional $250 million security assistance package for Ukraine. It will surge more capabilities to meet Ukraine's evolving requirements and will deliver them at the speed of war." :: Ramstein, Germany :: September 6, 2024 "So make no mistake. If Ukraine is not free, the world is not safe. But this contact group gives us the structure to keep Ukraine sovereign and secure. The coalition is built to succeed. And it's built to last." Sitting next to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who urged Western allies to allow Kyiv to use long-range weapons for strikes on Russian territory, Austin pointed to the Kursk offensive as an example of how Ukraine was working to seize the battlefield initiative. Still, Austin's remarks appeared more focused on the broader effort to sustain Ukraine's campaign to repel Russian forces from its territory, including the announcement that US President Joe Biden approved the additional security assistance for Ukraine. The announcement comes at a high-risk moment for Ukrainian forces, who are advancing into Russia's Kursk region even as Russian forces are threatening the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk.6 days ago
