of what happened, it is worth emphasizing once again that the kremlin bears full responsibility for the start and continuation of this war. servicemen of the russian armed forces are also responsible for war crimes and other atrocities they have committed. well, that is, as you can see, russia is convening a special meeting of the un security council, it expects that at this meeting everyone will condemn ukraine for... a licktack of bucins attended by its own citizens, but ran into something completely different, although the reaction of russia, well, you must have been there are sure of this, it is quite predictable, putin's spokesman, dmitry peskov , stated this very morning that the kremlin is extremely dissatisfied with the results of this meeting of the security council on the issue of the russian il-76 crash, and you know how he explained it.

he said that the words of condemnation of the disaster were not spoken by the western countries , well, the words of condemnation of russia were spoken, he was silent about it, but they did not condemn the disaster, ay-yay-yay, let's move on, the united states of america not a single in no way involved in the fall of russian of a military transport plane in the sky over russian belgorod. this was stated during a press conference by... deputy spokesman of the us state department vedant patel. thus, he rejected accusations from russia that washington might have something to do with this incident. a us state department official said the us would coordinate with the ukrainians to investigate what happened, while mr patel added that the fact that the disaster happened on territory of russia will make it difficult not to... independently

verify some details. in the end, he very gently said here: not checking some details, but actually checking everything that happened, because firstly, russia will not allow independent experts to conduct the investigation. secondly, what she will represent, well, of course, no one, no one will believe it. cease fire as soon as possible. to the negotiating table, in order to end the crisis, with such an appeal, and by the way, it contains the very word crisis, not war, addressed ukraine and russia today representative of the ministry of defense of china, wang of foreign affairs of china, wang wenbing. yes, he answered the question about what kyiv and moscow should do after the fall of the russian il in the sky over belgorod. as you understand, the spokesperson of the chinese foreign ministry did not say anything concrete or new, but at the same time... wang

wenbin expressed hope for the escalation of the situation in ukraine, according to him, political settlement is the only way to overcome the crisis situation. crisis, crisis, crisis, but you sit down at the negotiating table, to solve this crisis, that is, until beijing starts talking about the fact that ukraine is not a crisis, but a russian war, which moscow started back in december the day before last. year, then maybe something will work out for them. by the way, do you remember china's peace initiative, which consisted of 10 or 12 points, i don't even remember anymore, but no, you don't, because the chinese themselves saw that it was impossible to talk about peace with by russia the issue of continued military and financial support of ukraine in canada is becoming more and more politicized, the prime minister of the wedge leaf country, justin trudeau, said about it. at a meeting with

deputies of the liberal party headed by him. according to him, the majority of parties in the parliament continue to support ukraine and vote for providing it with the necessary assistance, however, he says, there are also those who, due to their own ambitions, have decided to vote against continued support. next is a short quote from the prime minister. all of you now see and understand this policy around ukraine, which, unfortunately, we are also observing here in ottar. that is, he meant politics, which is in world, unfortunately, it reached canada as well. well, and in conclusion, a well -hit tuabsin oil refinery in the krasnodar region of russia stopped working after a drone hit its vacuum plant the day before. this was reported by the roits agency with reference to its own sources. according to published information, the plant, which processes up to 9

million tons of raw materials annually, turned out to be paralyzed. according to reuters sources , the plant will not be able to quickly resume production, the repairs may last until. end of february early march well, the words two, well, maybe three weeks come to mind. well, although in this case these words are normal, because three weeks for such a huge oil refinery is very cool. well, that's all for me today, after all, just like this week in the world about ukraine section, i'll meet with you on monday, but don't switch, because we still have a lot of interesting things to do. thanks to my colleague yuri fizer. well, and important news navzdogin. ukraine and denmark agreed to start negotiations on obligations in security sphere. this was announced by the minister

of foreign affairs of denmark, lars leke rasmussen. a short quote. we feel a responsibility to help ukraine achieve full territorial integrity. to fight the russian invasion forces and become a full member of the eu. i discussed this with my good friend dmitry today. rasmusyn is referring to dmytro kuleba, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine. well, i'm moving on to other equally important topics. lemberg. mom, don't cry. that is how the writer and photo artist olena cherninka named hers a new book it is dedicated to her son and his brother, who died in the russian-ukrainian war. what are the books about? let's look at the story of colleagues. mother's book about the son of a volunteer who did not return from the war. writer olena cherninka shared a story of personal

grief. her 28-year-old son mykhailo went to defend ukraine in the first days of the great war. in may 2023, a sister informed about the death of a soldier. i started writing posts in facebook, like correspondence, like letters to my son, and in these letters there were memories, there were some moments when he was already in the combat zone , our life with him, these were such short stories, such stories turned out to be a full-fledged book, in which the author talks about mykhailo's childhood, his service in the army, his own experiences and memories of relatives and brothers, also in the publication, elena reveals the topic of how to survive the loss of a loved one, it is like a primer for those who have gone through the same thing as me, or whose children or husbands are, as i managed, as i found, in why i found meaning to live

on, everything i wrote before that, and everything i am i will write later, it will be in the background, the most important book of my life is the book about lemberg, and it will remain so, according to... olena cherninka, lemberg represents the generation of young ukrainians who took up machine guns to defend our independence. the book is in the genre of nonfiction, complemented by photos from the family archive. the book really impresses with this kind of powerful force, and despite what it is about, it still inspires and gives some hope, some faith. lemberg's book should be read, if only to to understand that the hero the current heroes of ukraine, ukrainian heroes are those who were with us yesterday or the day before yesterday. the book is being prepared by the stary lev publishing house. recently, more literature on military topics has appeared in bookstores, says

maryana savka, co-founder and editor-in-chief of vsl. i would very much like the literature that is being created about this time, about those events, about everything that is happening. at the front, so that it gives us as much strength, not only this feeling of pain, which is not inevitably present. publication of elena's new book cherninka timed the second anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine. lemberkh, don't cry mom, will appear in bookstores at the end of february. kateryna oliynyk, roman kovalyuk, nazar melnyk, espresso tv channel. greetings, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already approached the serpent himself. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. live kamikaze drone attacks. political analytics. objectively and meaningfully. there is no political season. exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front.

freedom life - frankly and impartially. you draw your own conclusions. thank you for waiting. the informational evening of the espresso tv channel continues. next to me is my colleague oleksandr morchavka. glory to ukraine. alexander glory. thank you for your word. in the next few minutes, i will talk about payments to displaced persons, about pensions, as well as about preferential loans, you will find out everything in detail in a moment, wait, i am oleksandr morchenko, congratulations, this is a column about money during the war, really long-awaited information has appeared about the situation on zaporizhzhia atomtka, in particular general director of the magat, rafael grossi, will temporarily go on vacation. russians from the au. he announced this after the meeting of the

un security council. the head of the agency wants to personally familiarize himself with the situation at the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant after the destruction of the kakhovka dam, and also plans to meet with the so-called russian management of the power plant. grossi wants to find out the plant's long-term plans , which include an attempt to restart one or more reactors, for discussion. zaporizhzhia as grosi plans to visit kyiv and moscow. by the way there was information from the ukrainian energy atomic energy agency that the term of operation of the nuclear fuel at the zaporizhzhia station is coming to an end, it is true that if it is not replaced, resources are not replenished, difficulties may arise. but the state budget has funds for indexation of pensions, in the event of a lack of money, additional ones will be cut. social support programs and so-called privileges, minister

of social policy oksana zholnovich announced. well, let me remind you earlier that there have already been some worries in the government that the indexation of pensions can be transferred, there may be some delays in payments, the main reason is the lack of funding from international partners, it is their money that goes directly to payments to state employees, pensioners. we are monitoring the situation when this money will really be unblocked and will go to the ukrainian treasury. well, also, having certain problems with financing in ukraine, they are going to optimize payments to displaced persons. well, and this, they say, is the demand of international partners - said the deputy prime minister, minister for reintegration of temporarily occupied territories iryna vereshchuk. the reason is clear, the revenue part of the budget is decreasing. the government is tied, i will say again, to foreign funds. and according to international practice, two

years was enough for the adaptation of immigrants, says iryna vereshchuk. i would like to add that almost 5 million people are officially considered internally displaced persons in our country. well, but there is also a positive for such people, they will be able to continue receiving preferential housing loans, the ministries also reported. it is about citizens of ukraine who lost their homes due to the war. benefits will continue thanks to additional funding from the german government. let me remind you that at the end of last year , the german bank allocated 17 million euros to buy housing for internally displaced persons. well, traditionally, a lot of soft loans now go through the housing loan program and business loans. outside banks, the following information that appeared this week is about them. two state banks,

ukrgasbank and sensbank, are of interest to foreign investors, these two institutions are already preparing for sale, - said the deputy minister yuriy draganchuk of finance. here are these institutions, soon the cabinet of ministers will choose financial advisers for them. at the moment, there is no talk of selling a private bank, but after the nationalization of sensbank, the share of state ... institutions has increased to 56%, well, this is a large figure, and that is why the international monetary fund is still insisting that the banks that are owned of the state has decreased, so we see that the government is now, as i understand it, conducting negotiations with international investors who are going to purchase this or that state financial institution, develop it already at the expense of private, not state capital. well, this week an important news, in fact, such a significant one happened at the national

bank of ukraine, the regulator stopped the process of lowering the discount rate, which had been going on since the summer of 2023. during this time, it decreased from 25 to 15%. at the first monetary policy meeting this year, the national bank decided not to review this landmark mechanism, which is so important in essence for... the ukrainian economy, but this 15% discount rate is essentially a victory for the ukrainian economy, experts say, well, this is a sign of that , that... prices basically slowed down after a frantic growth, the economy is starting to recover after a significant fall, but the prospects are still disappointing, the national bank's forecasts remain pessimistic, it relies on the expectations of ukrainian business and, of course , monitors the situation at the front. all this

is interconnected. well, but as for prices, the nbu is looking with such a... mystical forecast, it has improved its inflation expectations for the current year, it may be 8.6%. vnbu believes that price growth will accelerate somewhat, but within the current year, well, they say, the reasons are the reduction of certain food stocks, which have accumulated due to last year's harvests, and the additional price increase of goods and services will be provoked by consumer demand. that is , at your and our expense, and all over again, a business that will transfer all its losses due to the war precisely to prices. well, if we talk about prices, then indeed, well, traditionally, just at this time of the year, vegetables become more expensive, i talked about beets and potatoes, but right now the analysts of

the eastfruit platform paid attention to cabbage, it was after such a slight drop in prices, especially white... the head started to rise in price, farmers are now restraining the sale of quality products, well , of course, stocks are decreasing, they are trying to sell what is still stored, a little later at a higher price, well, on average, prices have increased vacation by 30% for cabbage, roughly, in the group they sell for uah 13 a kilo, but now they are actively looking for farms that are engaged in... potato only grow up. and if we talk about agriculture, then this week there was a really difficult situation on the ukrainian-polish border, but it is interesting that bulgaria has now started insisting on the introduction of tariffs and quotas for ukrainian grain

that is going to the european union. this is explained, they say, by significant suffering. local farmers, in particular in their ministry of agriculture, say that local producers cannot compete with the prices of ukrainian goods. he said that this is a consequence of the application of different production standards. officials warn that the current situation may lead to before the collapse of bulgarian production. therefore , the european commission should take measures to protect not only bulgaria here, but also the countries of the european union that border our country. well. this is what we were talking about, in essence , the land route of ukrainian exports, let's move on to the sea route, and an interesting figure appeared this week that 18 million tons of goods have already been exported through the black sea corridor, which is organized by our state, and they went to 32 countries. the lion's share, of course, is agricultural production,

the administration of sea ports reported. it is about the period of activity of the corridor from last august. these results are true. significantly exceeded the volumes that were achieved during the operation of the black sea grain initiative with the assistance of turkey and the united nations. well, i will conclude with an interesting and really promising figure of 787 soft loans. banks issued a total of almost 4.5 billion hryvnias, and this is only since the beginning of the current year. we are talking about preferential state program 579, the ministry of economy reported. most available loans were taken to replenish working capital. initiative mainly processing enterprises took advantage, as well as businesses operating in the zone of high military risk and entrepreneurs implementing investment projects. among the regions of the leaders in terms of the amount of concessional loans concluded are lviv, odesa, dnipropetrovsk regions, the top three regions,

and of course, the capital. it was the last one. information from this economic week, i'll be saying goodbye to you until monday, but the big broadcast continues, more to come, stay tuned! khrystyna dmytrenko is the bronze medalist of the european biathlon championship, which is ongoing in in slovakia, ukrainka finished third in the women's sprint, dmytrenko did not fail in both. new frontiers and showed the fourth result in the race for rapid fire. the european championship bronze is christina's debut award at this level. the rest of our biathletes took places in the top 40 and from. took up the pursuit race, the norwegian idelien won the race, the silver went to her compatriot maren kirkeide. the men's sprint took place today,

the staff, but the specialist is convinced that the time has come to leave. i know i can't do this job over and over and over and over. after the years we spent together and after all the time we spent together. and after all the things we've been through together, my respect for you has grown, my love for you has grown, and the least i owe you is the truth, and here's the truth, the thing is, i'm short on energy if i could say it. having led liverpool in 2015, not the best of times for the team, the club gradually turned the marseillais into a powerful team that managed to impose a competitive struggle on the hegemon of the epl, manchester city. under the roots. mlopa liverpool won the gold of the english championship for the first time in 30 years and played in the finals of the champions league three times, and in 2019 won the elite eurotrophy. in addition to

klopp, the club will leave his assistants from the coaching staff, sports director jörch shmatke will say goodbye to the reds already this winter. in the current season, after 21 rounds , liverpool leads the league table championship of england. well, important news arrived from kharkiv, so deputies of the kharkiv city council today decided to activate the air alarm signal in the event of an immediate threat to the city, and not to the entire region, i am quoting the mayor of kharkiv, terikhov. today, the deputies supported my initiative and decided to create a differentiated air warning system, according to the kharkiv mayor, according to the new rules, the siren will be activated. only in case of danger directly to the city, not to the whole region so, what, and now

a thrilling solemn moment: natalka didenko, a person who knows about the weather, if not everything, then almost everything, and is always willing to share the secrets of our meteorology with our tv viewers, glory to ukraine, natalka, congratulations, heroes, thank god, i'm so glad to see you. we are talking about the weather and, as always, not only about the weather and about all kinds of interesting winter things, well, in a word , a lot of interesting things literally in a second. despite such a small, but warming, thaw and even positive air temperature, winter continues, and snow, especially if not in big cities. somewhere on the outskirts or in mountainous areas , there is still enough, and therefore today we will talk about the most famous ski resorts of ukraine, of course,

all of them are located in mountainous areas, in winter you can rest anywhere or go, take a breather for a few days, you know, bring yourself to the norm is a bit mental, as they say health, but we will talk about these resorts, of course, the most popular. the most famous ukrainian korot is bukovel, there are many entertainments for family holidays, there is a ski school and people like to rest in bukovel, well, at least not only ukrainians liked it, but also many foreigners. dragobrad is the highest mountain resort, but its specificity is that it is more suitable for such experienced, serious skiers. slavske, a beautiful, oldest ukrainian ski resort, is located on mount trostyan and... it has 11 trails. pelepets is a ski resort in the mizhhirsky district of the zakarpattia region, the shipid waterfall is also nearby,

and pelepets is the second highest resort. countries, well, play is a complex located in yakislavske in the skoliv district of the lviv region near the village of plavie, the upper tracks are for such experienced, serious athletes, the lower slopes are gentle, comfortable for beginners and there is also a ski school there, well, i don’t know how much it is now everything works there, all these schools, but judging by the press, i, for example, know that bukovel, well, i read, at least, like all of us, is very prosperous, god forbid that everything will be... only for the benefit of winter, and ski vacation, and generally the opportunity to relax in the principle of any we move on to the behavior of the earth's magnetic field, now we look at the forecast chart, and we see that tomorrow there will be quite active activity, magnetic activity will be increased, so please, those who respond to magnetic storms, pay attention to your well-being, especially since now there are many reasons to appeal to this sense of well-being,

and also taking into account... influenza and covid, which have worsened and are said to be spreading across ukraine, capturing more and more citizens, do not give in, we are moving as for the weather, let's see what this winter will be like, this winter weekend, the very first winter saturday in every region of ukraine, we traditionally start from the western regions, so tomorrow in the western part of ukraine, well, first of all, there will be strong wind, be careful, be careful . it will be damp, cloudy and moderate wet snow, although, as you can see, the air temperature is positive, but at night there are small minuses and the approach to zero will provoke more wet snow, and where there is wet snow, there is wet snow, very carefully and carefully, in the north in ukraine, cloudy weather will also prevail tomorrow, i won't say that there will be any extraordinary precipitation here, in the west, for example, they are stronger to moderate, as i already said, but nevertheless, there

will also be a little snow or wet snow in the east. the weather in ukraine tomorrow is also expected to be cloudy, so sad, damp, gray , the air temperature is close to zero, well, now it’s so thawed almost everywhere, well, small minuses will be observed at night , and small precipitation will also be observed in places in the eastern part of ukraine. in the central part of ukraine, the weather will not differ much from the rest of the territory, there will also be dense clouds and gusty winds. the air temperature will fluctuate around zero. in the southern part of ukraine, it will traditionally be several degrees higher, of course, the air temperature will range from two to four degrees celsius in the crimea to five to seven degrees, and here, of course, precipitation is mainly in the form of rain. the weather is expected to be cloudy in kyiv tomorrow, i wouldn't say that there will be any significant precipitation, maybe some small sleet is possible somewhere, but again after all, without serious precipitation, i will repeat, and

the air temperature is about 0°. i want to say that in the near future, from january 29, we will finally have anti-spell weather, which means that precipitation will stop, and there will even be sunny clearings, but it will be so fresh and cool, and from february 2 , a noticeable sharp warming is expected somewhere up to + 3 +9°, in the south and southwest even up to 10-12°, but take your time, warm clothes, because these are still such temperature fluctuations, but still it is nice to say once again that from february 2 warming awaits us, well, thank you natalka didenko, that's what we heard, a certain thaw is coming, but not immediately, and an important message from

the intelligence agencies. in estonia , so we understand that estonia is not, so to speak , the center of, i don't know, russian or anti-russian espionage, but in any case, that estonian analytical centers process a lot of different nato information, and therefore we are extremely serious we refer to the message from the head of the intelligence center of the estonian defense forces , colonel ans kiveselg. so, for words, according to him, the situation on the battlefield in general has not undergone any significant changes. the overall intensity of hostilities has decreased compared to previous weeks, with one exception in the avdiivka area, the number of shelling from the russian federation has a tendency to increase, and according to representatives of estonian intelligence, the decrease in enemy combat activity is mostly due to a change in the weather, an increase in the amount of precipitation and the maintenance of positive temperatures , due to which the soil loosens and becomes.
