by the end of the year, the minister, prime minister danys shmyhal, announced that the head of the government said that this month the european commission plans to present a plan for using frozen russian assets to support our state. also, denys shmigal reminded that in the states they have already presented a bipartisan bill on the confiscation of the property of sanctioned russian oligarchs. well, traditionally, this money should be directed to the reconstruction of ukraine. more than 9 billion. hryvnia vitra lost the state budget last month, all because of lack of receipt of customs payments, they were formed due to the blockade of the ukrainian-polish border. this was announced this week by the head of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax and customs policy, danylo getmantsev. he noted that these losses of 9 billion hryvnias are a powerful blow to our economy and , of course, to exports, and this is huge money that our army did not receive. and in continuation

of the topic, ukrzaliznytsia is preparing to massively transport trains with trucks across the ukrainian-polish border, it has already launched test train, it is at the crossing with the hrubeshiv checkpoint, the train is loaded with more than 20 ukrainian trucks, they were blocked before entering our country. well, ukrzaliznytsia says that this is a promising business, but the polish customs still have questions about the dimensions. loads and the availability of fuel in the tanks of trucks, well, i think that this issue will be resolved, well, at least some movement has already taken place, well, the united states agency for international development will spend 225 million dollars on construction in our country two-track railway section. we are talking about a stretch of 75 km. it will connect lviv with the trans-european transport network of the eu. ukrainian railways uses

the track is 1520 mm, while the railways of european countries have a standard track of a smaller width, it is 1.435 mm, because of this, wagons have to be overloaded at border railway crossings, which is a waste of time, resources, efforts, well , we hope that soon, at least in a certain way the route can be avoided, well, continuing the theme of ukrzaliznytsia last week the company... launched a special service for military personnel, it allows you to purchase a travel document for the train, even if everything is sold out, book tickets, our defenders can online on a special portal, for this you need to leave an application no later than 6 hours before departure train, buy a ticket at the ticket office, also no later than an hour before departure, special order tickets are available for 17 trains, these are traditionally such flights. closer to

the frontline areas and from there. construction of a main water pipeline to cities that suffered as a result of russians undermining the kakhovskaya hes dam is 87% completed, the ministry of community development, territories and infrastructure reported. the length of the aqueduct is 145 km. currently, work is being carried out at 11 pumping stations, and the construction works around the clock. more than 1250 people in three shifts. the highway will supply kryvyi rih, nikopol, manganets tomakivka with water, which is more than a million people. well, the farmers are summing up the results. this year's grain harvest turned out to be a record for almost all crops. it is 81 million tons. the president informed about it mykhailo gorbachev of the ukrainian grain association. this yield compensated for the losses. lands, they are now under

occupation and on the front line. and the ministry of social policy has restarted a previously developed program called helping hand. it is aimed at supporting the poor. the initiative gives such people the opportunity to receive a one-time interest-free loan, its amount is up to uah 100,000, these are funds for opening or developing on their own. case provided, under the terms of the program , support is provided for the purchase of equipment or various materials for business, this is a loan from the state for a period of 3 years. well , a section with military vacancies has appeared on job ua, one of the most visited job search sites. the company became the third partner of the ministry of defense in the recruiting project. there are currently seven robot vacancies on the site.

donors, in particular the 12th brigade of the national guard of ukraine azov, the state border service of the tro recruiting center, individual military units. earlier, the ministry of defense agreed on a partnership. with the workuua platform and lobby x. let's go further. price ceiling for russian oil at the level of $60 per barrel reduced the kremlin's income, but not by much, only by 14%. analysts of the energy and clean air research center report this. sanctions, well, in fact, did not reduce the kremlin's determination to continue waging war, they say. analysts, however, the inability to ensure the full implementation of these sanctions, their strengthening, well , it is necessary to constantly monitor, monitor, all this allows muscovites to level the consequences of economic restrictions, this happened in the second half of the current year, and sales revenues

energy resources, in particular oil, are growing. you and i, oleksandr, for as long as we have been working here, during a full-scale, full-scale invasion, we always say that sanctions work either slowly or not enough. on the other hand, there are such stories when we see alleged russian oil products for some reason sailing to the united states of america, this is supposedly a small thing, but an unpleasant signal, by the way, this is a strange story, vasyl, yesterday i was just very surprised and shocked that what monitoringrussian, yes russian oil oil products arrived or there, well, but vasyl, arrived for consumers in the united states, this is the port of nork, there are military bases there, again , this is one tanker. of course, but this is a map, this was an observation, black sea institute , that is, you can trust here, we will wait, maybe some explanations, again, this is not a critical story, but well, when you look at it, and then the leaked gas, europe actively purchases from russians, here vasyl, you can really look at it

from the other side, the consumption of energy resources is decreasing, and this is a fact, but it is really possible it is still difficult to drop below zero, so these are the facts of consumption and oil. foreign customers and liquefied gas, european consumers, they still exist, here it is still interesting that the contract for the supply of russian gas through ukrainian territory to the countries of the european union is running out, and the ukrainian authorities, the operator of the gas transportation system declare that they are not going to extend this contract from next year, and here it is interesting whether russia paid for the use of the gas transportation system, some amount of money went there every year, there are several billions of dollars were paid for good were the receipts for ukraine, here i am interesting not the period. it is important here that the ukrainian side fulfilled all its obligations to its european partners, and what will happen after 2024 with russian gas, well, let's see, the only thing is that

the leaders of the ukrainian gas transport system are convinced that it will work even before a full-scale invasion great works were being carried out for the perspective of somehow using... these pipes, so to speak, on the ukrainian economy and on the joint economy with european union. well, vasyl, we have already touched on the topic of economic restrictions and sanctions with you, but this week canada introduced them against russian diamonds and related goods, they did it in coordination with g7 partners, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, meleni zholly, said. according to the head of the foreign ministry of the country of the wedge, the implementation of this ban sends a clear signal to the russian federation that the income from the export of diamonds will not be used to finance the war in ukraine. let me remind you that before the state group of seven, following the results of the virtual summit held on december 6, announced that

from january 1 next year , restrictions on russian diamonds will apply. well, they were like that. economic results of the current week, i will say goodbye to you, but the big broadcast continues, there will be more, watch us, i literally have half a minute to say one thing, an unpleasant story happened, the international olympic committee did decide to admit russians and belarusians to the summer, to the summer olympics, which will take place next year, if nothing... happens in paris, c neutral status, but we perfectly understand that these are dialogues, these are russian athletes, many of whom have putinism in their heads, will come to paris, there will be interviews, there will be conversations, there will be communication, they will show, что вот смотрите какие хороший ребята, well, girls, boys, they

are just for sports, they are just for peace, you have to forget everything, make friends somehow, live somehow, you have to live somehow, read and so on, yes , and this... and a minus for us, for ukraine, and a plus for russia in that they begin to look for points of contact, begin run from the black entrance while the suit is on the face of the russians in normal. in the central match of the 17th round of the ukrainian

premier league, polissia and dnipro-1 did not determine the winner. at the beginning of the second half, dnipro opened the scoring with the efforts of oleksandr filipov, but former dnipro-1 player lucas taylor saved polissia from a 1:1 defeat in the end. in this way , kryvbas can return to the first step of the championship standings already tomorrow. for this, the team needs yuriy vernedub. play star the rest of almost all matches of the tour will take place on weekends and in monday. kryvbas will play against zorya on saturday. on sunday, matches between vorskla-rukh and kolos chornomorets are scheduled. on monday, metalist 1925 oleksandria and dynamo obolon. the meeting of the lnz and the former was postponed to the spring of next year. the day before, kyiv dynamo won the third consecutive victory under the leadership of oleksandr shovkovskyi. in the transferred in the match of the third round, kyiv defeated metalist 1925 4:2 on their own field.

nazar voloshyn scored a double in the first half. another goal for the hosts was scored by vladyslav vanat. the people of kharkiv answered with two sharp blows. even before the break, ruslan nescheret was upset by vladislav dmytrenko. andriy rameniuk, who took advantage of a mistake by the dynamo goalkeeper, reduced the deficit to a minimum in the middle of the second half. metalist scored his second goal already playing in the minority, getting two. kostyantyn bychak left the field with a yellow and a red card. after all, the last word in the game was with the okyans. at the end of the match, maksym dyachuk set the final score. the defender hit the opponent's goal after taking a corner. athletes from the country of the aggressor and its allies will still perform in paris the international olympic committee admitted 20-24 athletes from russia and belarus to the olympic games in neutral status. this was reported by mo's official website. russians and belarusians will be able to compete only in individual starts, teams will not be allowed. mock

notes that as of december 8, 2023 , only 11 neutral athletes have met the criteria for admission to the olympics, eight russians and three belarusians, and in general a very limited number of russians and belarusians will be able to compete in the olympic games, will not athletes and members of their teams who actively support the war in ukraine are admitted to the competition. the second stage of the biathlon world cup started in hohwilzen, austria. the men's and women's sprint races took place today. among the men , two ukrainians were selected for the pursuit race, which will take place on december 9: dmytro pidruchnyk and anton dudchynko. they finished 52nd and 47th respectively. artem tyshchenko - 63rd, artem primash - 65th and taras lysyuk - 80th. norwegian tarij bio celebrated the victory in the race. in the best in the women's sprint race. anastasia markushyna showed the result among ukrainian women. she finished 23rd. yuliya dzyma -

38. outside the top-40 are iryna petrenko and anna krivonos. however, ukrainian women made it to the top 60 biathletes and will now compete in the pursuit race in hochwiltsen. norwegian ingrid taandrevol won the sprint. swimmer mykhailo romanchuk won ukraine's first award at the 2023 european championship, which is being held in romania. the ukrainian became the third in the distance of 1500 m freestyle. the irishman daniel vife won the gold. the representative of france, david aubry, won the silver award. on december 9, romanchuk will compete for a ticket to the finals in the 800 m freestyle. mykhailo's bronze is the first award for ukraine at this tournament and overall the first at the european championships in short water since 2019. you know, in continuation of the topic of the olympics

, to which russian and belarusian athletes were admitted, i will again say that they are in a neutral status, everyone will know that they are russians, they will have contacts, they will have dialogues, they will give interviews the russian media, they will communicate with opinion leaders, with some cool figures there in europe, well, in paris, in particular, there will be the olympics, they showed that russia is basically a normal country, everything is fine with them , they do not beat us, we are loved in russia, we we also love everyone, it's simple. there is some kind of conflict, we don't know what's going on, but we hope that everything will be fine, and we're all together, and that's what they 're going to do with such delusions, and then they're going to make plots, put them there, let them go around the world and to say that everyone, well, in principle let's... put up somehow, and somehow we'll forget, it didn't happen like that, everything is bad, we need to kill, they shoot in the past, what happened in ukraine, and, and i want to say, by the way, that it's interesting, you know, double standards very much, when the war in afghanistan started in 1979, when brezhnev, the leadership of the soviet state then decided to change the government, well, we know that this war lasted for 10 years, and then in 1980

the olympic games were held in the soviet union, well they are officially in moscow, but let's say football matches were also played in kyiv, and then this olympics in moscow was ignored by 50 countries of the world, including the united states of america and many european countries, then, well, because this cold war and the determination, above all , of the united states of america to dismantle the soviet union, it was important, because then the ussr was an enemy, intervention in afghanistan is aggression, we ignore it, here ukraine is not so important, why do we not ignore it, why do we say welcome here. in this, in paris, a strange, strange decision. fine, now about what the weather will be like in ukraine, tomorrow natalka didenko will tell us in detail, let's listen and see.

hello everyone, our dear viewers, we are starting our next forecast meeting and we will talk about... about the weather that is expected in ukraine on december 9, and for now, since there are so many fogs now, the visibility is getting worse, so we will talk about the difference between fog and haze. haze is a very beautiful, very poetic word, but it is also a meteorological phenomenon. syrpanok is generally a weak fog, and in the haze, the visibility deteriorates to 1 km , i.e. such a fog, i would say, but... this is such a meteorological phenomenon, when the visibility is below 1 km and 300-500 m is 200 m, and i once particularly remember, there was i myself was a direct witness of an extraordinary fog, when nothing was visible at all, but at arm's length, so please do not confuse fog and

haze, this phenomenon is similar, but fog is, so to speak, father, haze, son. we go further and talk about the behavior of the earth's magnetic field, such insignificant ones are expected tomorrow fluctuations, so please, as always, just keep a close eye on our new messages about the magnetic activity of the earth and we will move on to the actual weather forecast, so tomorrow we will start as usual from the western regions, in the western part of ukraine the weather is expected to be cloudy, sometimes foggy at night and in the morning , which we mentioned, but... significant precipitation is not expected. the maximum air temperature will range from 1 to 4 degrees of frost. the air temperature will be similar in the northern regions, in zhytomyr oblast, on in kyiv region, in chernihiv region and sumy region, -1 -3 maximum and also without significant precipitation. wet weather is expected in the eastern part of ukraine. it will periodically snow

-2 -4°. in the central part. the country will be cloudy, snow, if it does fall, it is more about dnipropetrovsk and poltava regions, and the air temperature is -1-3°. in the southern part of ukraine, since the air temperature will be higher, as you can see, precipitation is expected in the form of sleet or even rain. and finally, the weather in kyiv tomorrow, december 9 it is expected to be cloudy, without significant precipitation, but the temperature is maximum. -1 - -2° are our further forecasts, as always on the espresso channel. well, thank you natas didenko, for the information about the weather, i literally have another minute and a half to tell you the following news: people

's deputy of ukraine roslav zheleznyak, this is the voice faction, reports good news, at least yes, good news in the long run. and i will quote him on the telegram channel of the iron people's deputy. well, they write that the senators have resumed negotiations regarding the additional aid package, which includes funding for israel and ukraine. democrat chris murphy, republican james langford and independent kristen sinema are participating in the talks. yesterday they met offline, today too, but in remote mode, it seems that the negotiations should last all weekend so that from monday they can start moving towards the law, which should provide for assistance to ukraine. as i understand it, writes the people's deputy, there is discussion and controversy only on the part of politics, and it seems that they have already found a compromise on the issue of when it is possible to ask for asylum in the usa, let me remind you, we only have december 11-14 as a date for the congress to vote, well, in principle, the process has started. as mykhailo sergiyvych gorbachev said, this is good, and we hope that he will come to the point where we will be allocated money. thank you for being with us, i say goodbye to you until monday, i wish you a good

weekend, take care of yourself, heed the air alert, support the armed forces of ukraine. good evening, we are from ukraine. every day, every hour, every minute we receive a large amount of information. the most anticipated event year, what is actually happening at the front. what are the losses of personnel and equipment on the battlefield, how does the international community evaluate our successes, and what is moscow lying about. from the stream of news coming from all over the world, we single out the most important ones. the world is closely watching whether there will be weapons for ukraine and what kind, and what are the russian occupiers whispering about behind the commanders' backs? news, summaries of the week - this is a review of only important events, significant and reliable events. this is analytics, fact-checking. comments on this and more in today's edition of what matters in plain language available for all viewers, welcome to the studio of iryna koval and this is the summary of the week on

the espresso tv channel. news, summaries of the week, every saturday at 21:00 on espresso.

help, natalya says, everyone mistakenly thinks that mental trauma will heal itself. i would advise you not to be silent about this pain, because it, because it really destroys. in the middle, and i have now received several clients who refused to work with us at the beginning, we gave them time, well, if they were to recover from these events, and i will tell you honestly, i do not know at all how they lived these two years, because they are so destroyed from the inside, they have had such a bad time all these years, so don't be silent, you have to report that anyone and everyone can find themselves in such... situations in the situation of occupation, regardless of age or appearance there is a kind of appearance and it can

happen to anyone. lyudmila huseynova was captured by the so-called dnr in 2019, and was held, in particular, in a secret prison in isolation in occupied donetsk. the militants subjected lyudmila to torture, stripped her, touched her genitals, this is also sexual violence. don't sleep, let's go now. lyudmila exchanged in october 2022. she currently lives in kyiv. in one of the shelters, where four-legged animals are brought from the front, she found a friend - duke. he cannot take the dog to the rented apartment, so he comes to walk with it. saying that, not immediately after the captivity, she decided that she would not keep her story silent, so she has already given dozens of interviews, is writing a book, goes to rallies in support of prisoners and helps women who, like her, have passed. a prisoner of torture and violence: i heard about how women knocked out their teeth because of this, it's scary

sounds, it is impossible, impossible. even to repeat, but so that it would be easier for them to do it with her, if we condemn like this, and when we condemn, then we do not allow a person to achieve justice. the general prosecutor's office is currently investigating 257 cases of sexual violence during the war. both law enforcement officers and lawyers are certain that this is very little, however, such cases do not have a statute of limitations. he works in the prosecutor general's office. a special department that investigates such proceedings when they find russian rapists in open sources and the victims recognize them, the case is brought to court, where the russians who committed crimes in the occupied territories are tried in absentia, but in the future the materials of all these cases will be used in international courts to punish the top russian leadership. without the decision of the leadership, or even without the direction of the leadership, this could not have happened, it is,

after all, the army. and our... goal is to bring the senior leadership of the russian federation to justice, so by uncovering all these crimes, by making such a mapping, we build and see a goal for ourselves, it is, after all, genocide, which we want to prove in the international criminal court. two russian rapists from the case with the conditional name of raped street have already been identified, the case is already in court. and there are data that... ukrainian defenders have already eliminated some of them at the front. at the same time, the lawyers of the victims say that the main goal of their clients is to see the perpetrators on the dock , and they are not satisfied with the punishment in absentia. every person is beaten, in general we understand that russia is an aggressor country, it is a criminal, and it is all, in general, but a person suffered from a specific, very pointed russian serviceman, and she would

very much like that... as a specific serviceman of the russian federation, he suffered some kind of fair punishment. they want a court where they and their abusers will be present and they will look them in the eye and they will be able to tell their story there and see that uh this person was brought to justice, convicted, sent away. to serve the punishment, so that it would be in front of her eyes. at the same time, ukrainian lawyers are certain that ukrainian legislation has not yet been adapted to the european one, until ukraine ratifies the rome statute, it is not worth hoping that the prosecutor's office will be able to bring the majority of such cases to international courts. the international criminal court can simply refuse to consider them. maybe 10-20 percent. will go to international courts. why? well, because

what? because international courts, well, that is not , it is not the task, it is not the task of international courts to consider our cases, it is the task of our criminal system, the middle level and the lower level, the level of the perpetrators, well, this is our problem in general, we just want them, well to people it's like, like, to show that they will still be found and will be punished, just on... on the field, it's good, but it's better that they sit down and science comes second, like, because well you should be punished for that, are you drinking? yes, but some in the morning, others in the afternoon, and third in the evening. olena yagupova, after being captured and raped, has a whole bag of pills, most of which were prescribed by a neurologist and

a gynecologist. now olena. does not work, is only engaged in gathering all the necessary documents for a lawsuit in the international criminal court. in for me, it all boils down to collecting all these documents, doing all this correctly, so that they are not returned there later, so that it has some meaning, so that people are working, here it is necessary that those who is silent, and about this labor slavery, and about sexual slavery, that is, well, me, well, that’s it... the meaning of life is now that elena is supported by her husband, arthur knows all the details of her captivity, and the first thing they did after her release was to get married , in general, what we went through with this, this war, this , this intelligence, this, this is all, well, in general, it is yes, you value life in a different way, you value a person and people in general,
