it's 2 p.m. in ukraine, to your attention a news release on the espresso tv channel. in the studio of iryna koval. greetings to all viewers. in strasbourg. the session of the european parliament continues. meps voted to provide ukraine with eur 50 billion in aid. our correspondent tetyana vysotska, who is on the spot, already knows all the details. tanya, i congratulate you, and tell you the word. congratulations iryna, greetings from strasbourg. yes, today the european parliament finally approved the creation of the ukrainian fund ukraine facility for a total amount of 50 billions of euros. which ukraine will receive from 2014 to

2017. let me remind you that the european commission came forward with this initiative back in june of last year, and actually in october, on october 17 of last year, the european parliament already approved the creation of the ukrainian fund, but in december 2013 it was blocked by hungarian prime minister viktor orbán. in order to unblock the ukrainian fund, the leaders of the european union had to hold an emergency meeting. the summit on february 1 and finally today the european parliament approved the ukrainian fund with 536 votes in favor will we actually receive? eur 50 billion consists of eur 17 billion in non-refundable financial aid grants and eur 33 billion in loans. it is very important that the document mentions that payments to ukraine can also be taken from frozen russian assets, this is a big step forward. under what conditions are the funds provided? funds are provided in exchange for reforms,

now ukraine, together with the european commission , must create a ukrainian plan, a reform plan for four years, after which it will be implemented and ukraine will receive financial tranches quarterly to control the implementation of the ukrainian plan, the european commission will create an independent board of auditors who will have access to all financial information, and ukraine has also committed to reporting on individuals and legal entities that will receive from 100 min'. money, the document also states that payments can be suspended if there are suspicions of corrupt use of funds. the european commission will report annually to the european council and the european parliament on the implementation of the ukrainian plan, but changes can be made to it only after two years. what's next? now it's the eu council's turn. the eu council must finally approve this document, after which it will be officially published. and ukraine and the eu will sign

the corresponding memorandum, and only after that ukraine will receive the first tranche, but the european union assures that ukraine will receive the money already in march 2024. as the president of the european commission urshelaen reported, the first trend will be 4.5 billion euros, which is a lot, so we have good news from strasbourg today, studio. thank you tanya for the positive news, it was our correspondent tatiana. vysotska from strasbourg, so the european parliament voted to create a ukrainian fund. we move on to the next news. on our side, the speaker of the us house of representatives, mike johnson, will do everything possible to continue helping ukraine. he assured president volodymyr zelenskyi of this during a personal conversation, the ukrainian leader said in an interview with cnn. the president emphasized that he cannot push the speaker to make a decision.

at the same time, he expressed hope that johnson understands all the problems facing our country. the new president was elected in hungary, he became the ex-head of the country's constitutional court, tamas shuyok, who is considered a henchman of prime minister viktor orban. according to information from the hungarian media, 134 members of parliament spoke in favor of shoyok's appointment, while five voted against it. shuyok has already taken the oath, but the new president will take office only in 8 days, that is, on march 5. the alliance does not plan to send troops to ukraine. this was stated by the secretary general of the alliance jen stoltenberg. against the background of reports that some western countries are considering the possibility of their troops participating in the war against russian aggression. according to him

, nato allies currently provide unprecedented support to our country. let me remind you that earlier french president emmanuel macron allowed the deployment of nato troops to ukraine. he noted that during the summit in paris, the leaders of european countries discussed this issue, but so far they have not reached a consensus. polish farmers protested in warsaw under the slogan "starry march to the capital". agrarians demanded to limit import of agricultural products from ukraine and the withdrawal of the polish government from the eu green agreement. our correspondent maria chernyakhivska was at the event, she knows. all the details are now in direct contact with us. maria, i congratulate you, tell me, did many people gather and did the protesters meet with the government? greetings iryna, about 10 thousand polish farmers just came in a huge procession from the palace of culture

and science to the building of the polish diet, near which we are now, all the protesters are here now, all this happened quite...loud and now you can hear it, it's just an endless noise that is periodically accompanied by explosions of firecrackers, this is happening today because the polish farmers want to be heard by their authorities, and now it's happening near the polish diet, i understand that no one went out to the protesters, but noise shows are taking place here. and certain smoke screens, red, white, mainly protesters with flags are protesting today, but there are also few posters, the word ukraine does not appear on the posters, there are no slogans that can be

to be regarded as pro-russian, that is, in this regard, i understand that some work on mistakes has taken place, and of course there are certain two main demands: from polish farmers, they formulate them quite succinctly, we can listen. we do not agree with the conditions imposed on us by the european union, they impose a green order on us, and we want to limit the import of grain from ukraine. we have to agree on how much grain can come and how much cannot, so that it is clear that we are not against ukrainians, we want to help ukraine, we have proven this. repeatedly, we want to cooperate, but for it to be on equal terms , ukrainians must also understand us, i understand that there is a war going on in ukraine, and it is hard for you, but it is also hard for us, we will be able to help more if we cooperate on equal terms, and not one at the expense of others , equal cooperation, because

now it is not completely the case, we do not blame ukraine, but we want to start honest negotiations, like polish and ukrainian farmers, and work out a compromise. next, the protesters plan to enter the government buildings, so we will see what happens next. on this i'm all for you, irina. thank you, maria, it was our correspondent maria chernyakhivska from warsaw, where polish farmers are currently protesting under the slogan starry march on the capital. and we move on. a fatal accident in the lviv region, on the lviv-ternopil highway, killed three people and injured three others. according to the police, a drunken 21-year-old driver, vazu, drove into the car evacuating the fallen soldiers on the shield. the culprit of the accident and his two passengers - men aged 24 and 28, died on the spot. another passenger is in the hospital with serious injuries

vazu, the driver of the evacuation bus and his passenger. five trucks with a load of more than 75 tons. moldova has sent another batch of humanitarian aid to ukraine, moldovan media reports. this batch included blood transfusion systems and disinfectants, as well as canned food and electric generators. the total cost of assistance amounted to 250 million dollars. the government of moldova also allocated funds from the reserve fund for its transportation. the decision to send humanitarian cargo to chisinau was made after the ministry of foreign affairs. the country received a list of necessary goods from the ukrainian authorities. australian businessman and philanthropist andrew forest allocated more than $3 million for ukraine. the money will go to help demining agricultural

areas, reports cnn. the aid is aimed at ukrainian farmers who were under the fire of the war. andrew forrest, australian billionaire. it is engaged in the production of iron ore, as well as the production of green energy. and the espresso tv channel continues to collect on... fpv drones for a separate platoon of unmanned aircraft of the sapsan complexes of the state special transport service. these courageous soldiers are actively fighting in the donetsk direction, attacking and restraining the enemy. thanks to drones, they successfully destroy a lot of russian equipment, fortifications and manpower. so we have a goal - to collect uah 1 million for flying weapons. more than 750 00 hryvnias are already in the accounts. let's accelerate together. our victory, you can now see all the details on the screen, that

was the news at that time, we will see you at 3 p.m., you can read more on our website espresso tv, follow us on social networks and watch on youtube, and now marta olyarnyk and antin borkovskii. the aspress information marathon is in full swing, now we will add important guests to our broadcast, with whom we will discuss current events of today and beyond. my name is marta oliarnyk and as always i remind you, our viewers, about our collection. today we would like to close the actual fundraiser that we've been running... for several weeks now, and it's actually the million fundraiser uah. i hope that in the next three

hours we will be able to collect 30 00 hryvnias. in fact, 30 00 is not much. if each of you takes your gadgets right now and can donate at least a small amount, i am sure that it is quite possible to collect uah 30,000 in three hours. therefore , please, let's, as they say, lift up, take our gadgets in our hands. just now and we will donate 20, 10, 50, 100, 500 hryvnias, whoever can, how much in order to finally close this collection. and this collection is actually now is happening for the needs of the 141st brigade, which is in the orikhiv direction of the zaporizhzhia region, i think those who follow the map of the hostilities do not need to explain what is happening there now, in fact, there is a very difficult and difficult situation there now, and our guys and the girls need our support right now, there is no time to drag, so i love you very much. i ask and urge you to join this gathering, do it very, very actively, i will

remind you during these three hours of the broadcast that our gathering is ongoing, and if there is opportunity, i will even update the data on how much money was collected, so please join us, we will be glad if you contribute to this collection and we would like to thank each of you who have already joined our meetings and the previous ones and this one , it is very important for us, and above all it is very important for our armed forces. we are adding ivan stupak, a military expert and sbu employee from 2004 to 2015, to yeter. mr. ivan, i am glad to see you, i traditionally welcome you to our air. this is very, very nice, thank you invited let's maybe start with what's happening on the front lines right now. well, the institute for the study of war made such a rather pessimistic forecast, as far as i'm concerned, they note that russia has regained the strategic initiative on the battlefield. and the institute for the study of war believes that russian troops have regained the initiative in the entire

theater of operations and will be able to conduct offensive operations whenever and wherever they want, as long as they receive the initiative, this is what the institute for the study of war actually said, and it was parallel to this macron's statement that maybe one day such a moment will come when ukraine will have to help not only with weapons, but also with troops, and this moustache. putin's spokesman piskov has already said that this will be an inevitable war between the russian federation and nato. in general, all these events that are happening now, the delay in aid, the fact that europe is trying to somehow understand how to proceed without the active participation of the united states. in your opinion, what is the overall picture of all this? the united states is falling apart, we must admit it, and it is seen in the west europe, germany. uh, france, they see that the term that has worked

for the last almost 70 years, since the founding, the founding of the north atlantic alliance, when there was any problem, they said: "cool americans". call the americans, they will send cavalry, a squadron, aircraft carriers, fighters, bombers and everything will be solved. this is how it worked until almost 22, but then they began to see that this mechanism... no longer works, since october 23, americans cannot vote for aid ukraine and western europe see this, they understand that if ukraine... this aid does not go, then the same situation can happen in the direction of the same germany, the same france, or great britain, and they must take responsibility on themselves, brothers risk, risk to lead, and here i see france and germany once again, they are starting to come out from under the umbrella of the united states, they are starting to take the first roles, maybe somewhere carelessly,

maybe somewhere not very confidently, but i also see that the united states is worried. they understand that they are starting right now to lose the influence they had for the last 70, maybe a little more years, unfortunately, we are seeing a redistribution of the world, the world is changing, once again france and germany, they are actively investing in this war, germany must be recognized, it has already invested 17.7 billion euros in ukraine, it started, i keep saying, it all started with helmets, now there is a dispute about whether... they will send us the taurus or not, france also sees this, it also actively invests, there is a conversation, mr. macron, rather said about potential hypothetical sending of military, european troops to ukraine, but mr. yen stoltenberg already denied it, saying: "no, there will be no sending, and i personally see, well, how and within the framework of what, how

to send, for example, residents of marseille or lyon to avdiivskyi a direction like this. to explain to french voters the purpose for which french citizens will go to war is not to be explained at all, so i do not believe in it. but increasing aid, for example, sending 250 thousand drones from france is very, very real. scalp rockets are it is real, and the rest is also real, but unfortunately, it is all moving very slowly, not so intensively, to put it mildly, and we risk losing even more territories until the european military industry accelerates to the level we need. mr. ivan, well , the press conference of the president of ukraine , volodymyr oleksandrovich zelenskyi, right? well, resonant, undoubtedly resonant information about what the enemy knew, about the plans of our counteroffensive, so to speak, in advance, and accordingly, immediately some bad, you understand, some bad mouse begins to bite the heart, if the enemy knew, had

access to, so to speak, secret information from the super limit. access, where, so to speak, big and loud affairs , well, maybe, maybe taking into account the fact that, in general , the military can plan the actions of the enemy from their side, maybe this was meant, i don’t know, it’s not for me to judge, but explain , please, what are the possible options and what could our supreme commander have in mind? come on, there was such information voiced, let's try to divide it into two components: the first: maybe let's assume, once again, the version is so potential , mr. president really meant that there was a mole, two moles, a group of moles, i don't know, a company of moles that obtained information inside the country and passed it on to the russians, directly indirectly out of stupidity, or once again evil on purpose, but the russians received this information, so perhaps, as an option, on a certain

horizon of events we will see criminal proceedings from the sbu on the fact of... treason, perhaps even some suspicions of high-ranking military officials, perhaps this is one vector, the second vector, to which i personally i am leaning, it is meant, the president meant the fact that the territory of ukraine is not that big, to hide on the eve of the counteroffensive, which was announced from every iron, that now there will be a counteroffensive, and we were all warming up, i was there too, it is necessary admit it, i admit it, we will overestimate it too much... the russians had the opportunity to receive information about the deployment of our troops, where, when, in what number they are stationed, unfortunately, there are many gunners, traitors, who are right now in the eastern territories of ukraine and were in earlier periods as only our military was stationed in some location, but this is a tactical or operational

level, here we are talking about strategic, so to speak, power and strategic deployment of these or those. large, large masses of manpower, equipment and so on, that is, well, we understand, there if there are groups in the east, there in the southeast, in the south and so on and so on, well here, here is the key issue, you know that the enemy could also not understand where exactly the diversionary maneuver will begin, so to speak, and where the general strike will be, calculated, there is such a thing, calculate , calculate, where is the majority... the concentration of troops, plus there is technical intelligence , interception of telephones, some correspondence, and do not forget that at that time the russians had at least... two more a50 planes, and they saw much more deeply the territory of ukraine, they could analyze, and as our military said, finally i will say, about three weeks before the counteroffensive, they perfectly understood everything, who

was where, plus or minus the roles that would be, well, in short, they calculated our entire offensive and , unfortunately, we got the result that we received, once again there are no complaints against the military, they did everything with honor, with losses, unfortunately, and direct losses, indirect losses with... killed, wounded, but again, this is war. discrepancies in the numbers between what the general staff announced and what the president announced, how to deal with that, or are there any different calculation methodologies, are irreversible losses and sanitary losses counted there, how to deal with this matter? you mean where he announced the numbers of losses of the russians and from the general staff of about 400 00, well there it is said that there is a different calculation methodology and just what deaths. on and i don't know at the front, those who died during the evacuation, those who died from the wounds they received,

uh, after the wounded, look what a person can be, who was wounded once and returned to the front, and so she can be wounded three times and returned to the front, that is, there are different methods of counting, no one in ukraine can say with certainty now which method is the most correct, which is used, western analysts say that the russians lost about 315,000 russian soldiers, our general staff says more than 400, i am more inclined to such a conservative estimate, to the western, to the western count, let it be less, but i think that it is much more true, because in the intensity of hostilities it is difficult to count everyone, and there are cases when twice, and even three gunpowder. whether this or that technique or this or that group of russian military, and it was also included in the statistical data. mr. ivan, we would also like to discuss with you the statement that was made in

the american new york times that for more than 10 years, the united states has maintained a secret intelligence partnership with ukraine, and the cia itself has built 12 spy bases along the russian border, this is interesting, you know, information, very interesting. and i also wanted to ask, do you still remember there were publications, well, of a low-quality plan, i do not compare, so to speak, this respectable publication that cited it, there are biolaboratories, there they spray, you understand, locusts, i don’t know there, son, you understand they infect there with some secret deadly viruses and so on, well that is, but why no, well, if we cooperate with the american intelligence community, then this is quite normal for a country, so to speak, which plans down. joins nato and fights the russian empire, well, mr. ivan, we would like to ask you about these, actually, such spy points, the new york times says that in

an underground bunker in the forest, servicemen of the armed forces are tracking russian spy satellites and eavesdropping on negotiations between commanders of the russian troops, we would like your, as they say, groin opinion such possible spy points on the border with russia, very. there is a strong flavor of russian propaganda, but i will say frankly , once again, western specialists are on the territory of ukraine, this is a fact, it’s not a secret, british, american, well , i won’t say about the us ones, mexican ones, maybe later there will be, they were specialists, they are there, maybe a little less, they helped ukraine, about these espionage bases, well, on the one hand, well, if, why not, well, you can create them. in principle, there were such experiences, for example, the confrontation between east and west germany, when west germany was under a tunnel in the direction of east germany in

berlin, and there, in this way, they eavesdropped on what was happening through these trots, the communication that was happening on the territory of the russian, well , the soviet union, there this east germany and so on, in principle this is why, but the russian troops were on the territory of the kyiv region. sumy region, kharkiv region, and the question is, what or how did they not find these 12 bass, they should have seen them, captured them, there were many videos photo materials, how did they find these secret objects , some chevrons, well, this did not happen, i did not see it, that is, this publication gives me a russian flavor, secondly, do not forget that the russians also use some foreign journalists in order to throw in some... materials that are of interest to them, you need to see who published this column, what kind of person he is, what kind of material he has published before, who he refers to in his research or in his conclusions on

anonymous ones. sources, this is already a big, big question to the professionalism of that journalist, but once again, why make some bases on the territory of ukraine to look at russian objects from a satellite, it can be done in langley, it can be done in washington, without leaving the premises of the cia headquarters, and why go directly to ukraine, well, look, i just want a clarifying question, they write like this, cooperation was offered by valentyn nalyvaichenko, who at the time in... when you were in the sbu, and you actually worked in the sbu until 2015, i was not at these bases, i was not invited, mr. velentyn oleksandrovych, nalivachenko did not invite me, did not say: "ivan, come and see how we did it here." it should be noted that during the leadership of mr. nalivachenko, there were many comments on social networks that he was a fully american agent, just like viktor yushchenko, all of them, agents of the state department, the cia,

the fbi, that is, he knew it. was this whole story, maybe this is just a continuation of this story, that he, as a person who worked for a long time in washington, is familiar with many american officials, maybe he was just tricked, but once again i will say frankly about these bases , i never did heard, i was never invited, and in my circle of people who were there or saw them, this base does not exist either, but that does not mean that they do not exist, well, unfortunately, mr. ivan, but honestly, very... we have to let you go, because now we will go on a short, short break, we will remind our tv viewers that ivan stupak, a military expert, an employee of the security service of ukraine, worked for them now in 2004-15 . before we go to break, i will remind you about our collection, please show the qr code, please make a donation, remember that for this broadcast we want to collect uah 30,000 to close this collection, so while the pause lasts, make your donations.
