but those forces are not enough to carry out an invasion, but again, in terms of fortification, the border with russia is being strengthened as much as possible, because due to the actions that russia takes every day, and shelling and sabotage and reconnaissance groups, it is open in engineering terms to carry out fortifications directly along the border line, it is dangerous first of all for those groups that could do it, in a word, if possible, because we already have time for news, but we can see it bryanshchyna, kurshchyna and... belhorodchyna, well the former territory of the ukrainian people's republic, as lenin said, but they are mainly reporting that they are not drg, so they shoot, we just want to hear yes or no from you, we give them an adequate answer across the border when they start shelling, yes or no ? we act so that our security remains our security. well, thank you for that, mr. andriy, andriy. demchenko, the spokesperson

ukraine within the energy independence programs and decarbonization is developing the field of alternative fuels, the demand for which is growing not only in ukraine, but also in the world. in order to create an affordable and competitive market , the state energy efficiency agency. and the ukrainian energy exchange signed a memorandum of cooperation. the creation of such an environment will help ukraine to increase its investment attractiveness and ensure the energy security of the entire country. when we talk about bioelectricity, it is energy independence, it is distributed generation that allows now during attacks from russia to provide critical infrastructure and provide independence the ukrainian energy exchange has already

successfully built transparent markets for electricity, gas and wood that are in line with global best practices, in some cases serving as an example for other countries. that is why the state energy efficiency is counting on the prompt implementation of the biofuel exchange market and is ready to contribute to this. we are ready to put all our efforts and all our potential, which we are, the experience we have in... or in other markets in order to launch this such and such a promising direction, because we see great constructiveness on the part of the state agency for energy efficiency, and in principle we are ready to cooperate for the good of the whole country. the development of the energy stock market in ukraine is also a prospect for successful integration into the european union and in the perspective of joint trade. we are already on the threshold of joining the eu. we have to be... which are relevant to that market, because if tomorrow, for example, a big political decision is made before

joining, we have to be ready that our platforms, our platform will be able to fulfill the requirements of the european union and be, let's say, adapted to those markets. according to experts, the implementation of the biofuel stock market will ensure balancing of prices, quality and guarantees of supply of raw materials and finished products. as a result, active implementation of energy production projects, in the future, entry into the international market. yulia zubchenko, oleksandr burlevich, espresso tv channel. we are coming back. thanks for watching espresso. thank you also for supporting our defenders. let me remind you that we are currently collecting uah 5 million for kamikaze drones for the 93rd separate mechanized brigade kholodny.

you know how important drones are very often, so please don't be indifferent , don't be stingy, and on the occasion of this weekend, let's maybe double the amount, twice as much as you usually allow yourself to donate , it will be such a nice gift for the weekend to our defenders. in the meantime, we will include our next guest, political technologist taras zahorodniy, in the conversation. we welcome you, mr. taras, to our air. good day, good day, mr. taras, let's start, as it was in the good old days times, how people like to talk like that, such a stupid meme, the truth is, they said, there was such a program in the measure of animals, it was always watched on saturdays, so i want to start first with the reports, and then we will move to our globe of ukraine and our home circus, let's let's start with the fact that we have experienced several stages of information washing of cities. at first, at the very beginning of the mass invasion two years ago, we were told that

under the sanctions and under the blows of the armed forces , we were about to collapse into a colossus on clay feet called the russian federation. then there was the second stage, when they explained to us that very serious centrifugal tendencies in russia will lead to a senseless, merciless rebellion, and the entire center will not be able to be controlled by the fsbs and... and the rosguards, and everything will scatter and fly, and the caucasus will be the first to fall, tatarstan will rise, and it will go further and will leave, and now we live in a new world, in a new version. where the first real mass, probably after the swamp action in bashkortostan, ends with funny harovods, signatures and howling in the cold, and maximum throwing of snowballs when they are there they are beating, shooting and hustling, in a word, sobering has come, or simply the time has not yet come when this last empire

will finally begin to destroy. from the inside, well, let's go point by point, the sanctions work , you shouldn't underestimate them, the reality is not as fast as we would like, by the way, i have never shared such opinions, you can always look at my publications, look, the sanctions work, and what it is very unpleasant for the russians, it is the oil workers who work for them, and look, they are starting to have problems with the equipment that they put us. their oil refineries, and they can’t replace it, because china can’t help in any way here, and these are large-sized structures, after all, it ’s impossible to replace it so simply, we already see, but recently there was a note in the merchant about the fact that lukoil actually halved

production, the production of oil products on its own. plant, which just supplies the central district of russia, including moscow , and so on. this is a consequence of sanctions. this indicates a very weak link in reality russian, in the russian economy. this means that it should primarily be a target for the ukrainian army, ukrainian drones, the destruction of oil refineries there at a depth of 500, preferably 1000 km, will lead to large. russia's problems, well, let's start with the fact that you won't fight much without diesel, then it 's a blow to the economy, and because it won't be able to provide, well, work efficiency in principle and the work of the russian economy in general, that's why sanctions work, their incomes have decreased on oil and gas, it's true

approximately up to 70%, so physical volumes. the central bank of russia said that it fell by 30% , that is, if we look at the numbers, then oil exports fell by 170 billion dollars, well, a little bit wrong, bloomberg also has other figures, after all, because, well, look, the central bank , how can he count, that’s right, they can carry out, when you carry out the devaluation of the ruble, then it is in the ruble format, well, it’s like no no... the costs have decreased, well, if you count in rubles, and they do it this way begin to play with statistics, in physical volumes clearly less of them are starting to come in, after all, for oil and gas, they lost at least 40%, if not more, of the gas market, especially in europe, they lost a lot in

prices, first of all, for oil for oil, because the whole... the economy of the soviet union, the soviet union, it was built on the fact that the main sales market for gas and oil is primarily europe, this is what is called a premium market. yes, the chinese buy oil from them. hindus buy oil, but the question here is the price, knowing that there is no way out in principle the russians, they just demand huge discounts, and even if in physical terms they can... sport plus or minus the same amount of oil, it's all the same with them, they don't get enough, enough currency. further, regarding all the stories about the collapse of russia, i also never believed in such stories, but i think because we often compare russia with the soviet union.

no, russia is not the soviet union, absolutely not, and neither is putin. these are not the leaders of the soviet union, who were, i would say, more vegetarians, they were not ready to use violence, as putin is ready to use, they were inside the country a completely different situation and so on, but i share the opinion that the most promising regions from the point of view of the explosion still remain ... the northern caucasus, i explain my opinion, and not, for example, tatarstan or bashkirtastan, why, because, first of all, the national composition, for example, 90%, even probably 99% of the inhabitants are still chechens, there are passionate elites, there is an external border, and this

a prerequisite for, after all, the economic basis for possible independence, the second point is dagestan, because they have access to the caspian sea, there is oil, and plus there are completely different societies, that is, there are societies that... have horizontal connections in contrast to the russian regions, where putin has done everything to make russians so atomized that we see when, when we see, and we don't believe our eyes, when mothers give up their sons and talk only about money, this is the work of putin's propaganda for well over 20 years exactly, mr. taras, but can we take one more point into account? we just watch from fresh , good russian, as they call themselves , they report that 40 00 is reading it now, this is our trans-baikal district, and you understand how

cold it is now, well, well, what a big deal in a gas country, without there is gas left, part of the heating is also on gas there, and there is silence, the suburbs of moscow filmed, the cartoon ice age, i don't know, the newest series and at the same time. stood and said: vladimir vladimirovich, we, if we survive, if we do not freeze to death, then we will definitely vote for you, and all the people i mentioned, i don’t know, the scumbags they lead, so it’s actually a poor , slave-like psychology, it completely dominates this country, except for those regions that you... gave, that is, this is a total thing, so putin worked on it for 20 years, the propaganda worked, they learned lessons from the soviet union, they understood where the weak links were,

they completely cleaned everything possible, and this has already been decided by a new generation of russians who are ready , even if they are of an older generation, who are ready to listen to what the authorities say, the total control of the special services and so on , regarding tatarstan and the state... i also did not always share the opinion that something would happen there, well, first of all, we are reopening the national composition, they do not dominate anywhere , for example, bashkirs or tatars, there are approximately 30 by 30 by 30, for example, in bashkazstan 30% of those who call themselves russians, 30% tatars, 30% bashkirs, in tatarstan there is also an approximate distribution of about 40% russians and... approximate , but now there are approximately the same number of tatars. and these elites are completely integrated into the soviet, more precisely into the soviet, into the russian elite,

all of them, we often remember the 90s, but forget that the whole dispute between tatarstan and moscow since then was about oil and gas and the distribution of resources. when they agreed on this, they quickly forgot everything, and it was generally an echo of the struggle with... yeltsin with gorbachev, and that was the end of it. what we are seeing now, can it be connected with the national element, can it be connected, i do not deny it, but will it lead to some such bright riots, and it depends on how the elites will behave, i think that what we see now is the result of the struggle. of the center for control over the energy resources of these regions, over the industrial resources of these regions, because

oil is also produced in bashkirstan and tatarstan, and now the center needs to be moved away, local elites should be moved away from the redistribution of these flows, they want to control everything, because this is the next stage , well , just about these sanctions. which we are often told do not work, these work sanctions, so they want to take away all these local elites, including control over the tidbits of the economy, in order to fully exploit them, i don’t know how their sanctions are, to what extent they work, they don’t work, but there is still money for some, sometimes even stupid , as for me initiatives, for war, for war, look, the russians will have money for the war, we must understand this clearly and clearly, well, now they are allocating more money not just for the war, for the purpose of... finding real estate somewhere for the world, as if russian, soviet and tsarist, this is how they will look for real estate, what will be done with it further, however,

mozkov writes about it. so who is it aimed at anyway and what are they going to do with it, what are they looking for? well, this is precisely the consequence of the sanctions, they are mobilizing the maximum possible resource, they are looking for money wherever possible, and in order to ensure the viability of putin's regime first of all, and in this case it is that. this once again says that the russians will have money for the war, even at the cost of lowering the standard of living of the russians, yes, they have not yet used the price resource, for example, the total nationalization of the entire industry, they can do it so that everything works for the war, and there is still a resource there, if there is not enough, such an emission is moderate before the plan, it will not

even lead to large shocks. this is what, by the way, they did at the beginning of the sanctions, and basically restarted the russian economy, and we must understand that these are the steps they are taking, so far they will have stability, first of all, proof of war, but only ukraine can spoil the mood, that is, the destruction of oil refineries enterprises, this is a huge blow, that is, there have already been, there were attempts to strike with drones , in my opinion, two or two months ago, if i am not mistaken, the cardboard ones were the new drones that the sbushniks invented and launched in the krasnodar territory, the other day we saw that the oil depots began to pass, this is also very, very painful in reality for them, and the port of novorossiysk, the port of novorossiysk - this is what is within ukraine's reach, what we, what can be done, we have a wild lack of time ,

but i want to argue with you at least a little, well, china officially, first of all, rejoices, says that it has increased the supply of oil, and in general, all petroleum products by 25%. well, we understand that in terms of dumping, yes, there can be a plus-minus plus rate, let it not be an argument, but the argument is given by russian investigators of the shortcomings of russian journalism, who sit in the insider community, and yet you say that sanctions work? and i will show you that, for example, they work for gazprom, but there is a separate structure called gazprom neft, and there are profits, dividends, and comrade alexander dyukov personally from gazprom nefti, he earned four and a half rubles in a year, he even bought more than a billion rubles of real estate near our deputies and kuchma on the azure bank, maybe he visited khoroshkovsky for wine and cheese, but here you go...

the classic option, that is, at the same time, it also cooperates with the state, gazprom neft has preferential conditions for their private parts, exchange of money, in a word, these are the sanctions, here we play, here we don’t play, here they wrapped fish, here dyukov is building real estate for himself for billions, let’s go again, again by points, there are no gas sanctions, there are gas sanctions on europe, in principle, can buy gas, only they have reduced its consumption, the germans. it is actually not consumed now , it is quite limited, they have reduced this consumption by nafuk, then it works on oil, oil, oil products, well, look, well, let’s not , well, you know, it’s drawing conclusions about the state of the russian economy based on the way the leadership lives, well, that’s how we, you know, draw conclusions that if, for example, our oligarchs have good profits, then everything is fine in the economy, that, but in them, look, this

the structure of sibur, which is included in... oil has shown for the 23rd year both the profit and the dividends are huge, that's it, and who pumps out the dividends, the state pumps out, because it takes everything possible there, they do not reduce taxes , and this is not a shortcoming, underinvestment in the development of new wells, this is not additional financing, including repairs and so on, no, i am not saying that everything is so bad for them, i am saying that it is gradually improving... but ukraine must help so that it does not happen, and i am critical, critical for them told you to bomb a couple of factories, they won't be able to provide, they won't be able to provide equipment, because they can smuggle weapons, weapons, because in principle they are not unique.
