the district, i am quoting now, yes, serhii lysak, the head of the regional military administration, in the dnipro district, our military shot down a russian missile, landed an enemy ironclad in the dnipro district, around 3:18 p.m., the ukrainian air force warned of a missile in the direction of the dnipro, well, they shot it down, thank god, they shot it down, thank god, and we actually understand that the situation is quite tense now, because kherson was also fired upon today. and dnipro, we understand that the russians are not reducing their shelling, yes, but we will also try to talk about other important things, this is about the work of our deputies abroad and their voice abroad, and this is important, we understand that the russian federation invests in his information campaign huge efforts and money, and thus we understand that we have to oppose their efforts in the same way, to change the vector of support for ours. partners

and allies, and in this aspect, the diplomatic work of our lawmakers and our legislators is important, because there are certain people, certain people are against opposition, let's say, even the authorities, from, for example, the same verkhovna rada speaker stepanchuk, who, well, does not really have a desire for one or another deputies to sign their business trips abroad, but this is actually an important story that needs discussion, ugh, and... we are already in touch, unfortunately, we are waiting, meanwhile, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine koleba had a telephone conversation with his polish colleague radoslav sikorskyi, yes, kuleba writes about this, well, we understand that extremely it is an important story that they began to communicate more actively among themselves, although i think there was already a proper communication, and koleba emphasized the importance of paying more attention to the destabilizing influence of russian imports. grain to the european market and

kuleba thanked his polish colleague for his efforts in advancing important resolutions in congress. the ministers also exchanged views on the results of the recent paris summit, and koleb welcomed the start of an important discussion on ensuring european security by strengthening support for ukraine. well , the ministers of poland and ukraine also talked about increasing the supply of weapons to ukraine with special weapons. with an emphasis on artillery ammunition and anti-aircraft defenses. well, in the meantime, quite positive signals are also coming from the polish government. poland will propose to the european union to introduce sanctions on agricultural products from russia and belarus. donald tusk, who was in vilnius and at a briefing after a meeting with his lithuanian colleague ingrita šemonite, addressed this intention today. he said that a common european solution would be very effective. rather than

the individual steps of individual states in this direction, well, let's add maria ionova, a people's deputy of ukraine, to our airwaves, we will talk with her about the parliamentary one. diplomacy, which is now was under threat. mrs. maria, we congratulate you, we are glad to see you, glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, i'm glad to see you, thank you for, well, they didn't let another delegation of our deputies to the european platform, so i learned about it from iryna gerashchenko's facebook page. in principle, he manipulates the verkhovna rada, we let some out, some we don’t let out, but you know, he shows some... statistics, who left and how much, the question is not statistics, the question is really a violation of the principles of democracy, when they themselves decide who to sign a business trip to, to whom not to sign, i believe that when we call on our international partners to unite and have this unity,

solidarity with our country, it is important for the country itself to show unity internally and not only in words, but really in deeds, because now it is necessary to use.. the professionalism, contacts and expertise of not only people's deputies, not only deputies of local councils, who are also lawyers and we advocate the issues of ukraine abroad, but also of former ambassadors who have contacts, experience, trust, and this is a former, former presidents who have contacts, experience, i mean both pyotr oleksiyovych and viktor andriyovych, that is, i am very sorry that, you know, the government does not really unite those people who should also... work on an even greater support for ukraine abroad, because we all have to work now on weapons, on sanctions, on secondary sanctions, and we see how much the russian federation is actually now working hard to destroy this international unity as well. i am

sorry that i should have been in brussels today as the vice-president of the international democratic union, which also unites the countries of the global south, and... we had scheduled meetings in the nato office and in various institutions of the european union, that is , the commission and you know, well, talking online is it's one thing, but when you talk personally and hold discussions, it's completely different, because we have to convey to the world that russia's war against ukraine is a war against democracy, and that's why it's important for us to show that we respect the democrats as well inside the country. and we respect the opposition, freedom of speech and independence of the parliament. mrs. maria, i would also like you and i to discuss lavov's meeting with the prime ministers, sorry, not with the prime ministers, with the heads of foreign affairs, slovakia and hungary, in antalya, it seems, this meeting

was organized, it was the turkish president , and the fact that they talked very nicely with lavrov, smiled at him, shook hands with him, and this caused we are somewhat surprised, because we understand that now russia should absolutely not be a handshake state, but at the same time we see how individual countries of the european union come to such meetings, moreover, the fizo even praised his subordinate for being there , what do you think should be the reaction of our authorities to something like that that happened in antalya and how should our european friends react to it? you know, this is precisely what i said, that these meetings with the representative of the country of the terrorist, that is, i mean lavov, and this is the pole of this antalya forum, this is precisely purposeful work to sharpen unity and solidarity with our country, that is the imposition of these russian narratives, and

indeed moscow is very strengthened now and it is betting on the disunity of the countries of the european union, nato, and this is its goal, and that there should be fewer weapons. of ukraine, so that there would be more opportunities for the aggressor, because we see that the russian federation, it is best for it to prolong the war. as for slovakia, we know that the president reacted, and the problem is that, ah, the president of slovakia, and the problem is that there is a factor of these presidential elections in slovakia, which will take place on 23 march, and as you and i previously said that the ukraine factor, the topic in ukraine, well, that topic is peacekeeping. it is becoming one of the election topics, and by the way, what concerns the public meeting between lavov and siyarto, it seems to me, was not public, but it should not be excluded that there were some such informal contacts, especially since it has already

been announced in the media , that orbán will fly to trump on march 7, and it is really clear and logical that the russian side, well, it would be beneficial for them to have such a contact, but a... let's say this, also the head of the foreign ministry of hungary, they said that the meeting between the hungarian prime minister orben and the president of ukraine will not take place in the near future, that is, this too. well, such a signal is not very good, and at the end of january, yes, maria ivanova is in touch with us, a people's deputy of ukraine, well, something happened with our communications, well, what an important signal from the prime minister of ukraine denys shmygal: ukraine is not will continue the contract with russia regarding gas transit, this is our principled position, shmyhal stressed, at the same time we are talking with european partners about them. post-contract transit needs and we are waiting for the corresponding position of the european

union. according to shmyhal, the authorities understand how to provide gas to all consumers in ukraine now and in the years to come. we continue to increase production of blue fuel in ukraine, only last year naftogaz launched 86 new wells. well, let's hope, as they say. yes, is ms. maria ionova in touch with us? unfortunately, there is no. ok, let's get down to business. about what ms. maria mentioned, it is also important to understand about these attempts to actually consolidate around there are certain countries that try, as they say, to sit on two chairs at the same time, and here in the context of this, it seems to me, the position of china also fits, because the special representative of china, as we remember, made a certain of his own last year tour, both to moscow and to kyiv, and this year he did not give up on that. opportunities, he has already visited moscow, they again talked about

negotiations between ukraine and the russian federation, i will simply quote the press service of the ministry of foreign affairs of china, so the chinese foreign ministry posted on its website publication based on the results of the negotiations between special representative for eurasia affairs lihuey and russian deputy minister of foreign affairs mykhailo galuzin. as noted in the chinese foreign ministry, the parties had an in-depth exchange of views on the war in ukraine, which paki calls the ukrainian war. crisis lihuey noted that two years have passed since the escalation of the crisis in ukraine, historical experience shows that any conflict must ultimately be resolved through negotiations. the sharper the contradiction, the more we must not give up our efforts for dialogue. but we understand what this dialogue will be, it will actually mean that ukraine must accept russia's conditions, and russia's conditions are ukraine's capitulation. mrs. maria, we return you to our air and ask you to react to this statement of the chinese foreign ministry after the meeting of the special representatives. with lavrov's deputy in moscow. but i am very sorry for the connection. as i conclude about

the hungarians, let me also remind you that then siy arto said that when ukraine fulfills the conditions of hungary, it will create such a clean slate in bilateral relations and will allow this meeting to be held at the highest level. that is, you can see how they, after all, manipulate and put pressure on their own, but i think that we too, well, it's not enough. worked at different levels, expert, parliamentary , governmental, in order to find these points of contact for mutual cooperation, and once again we are talking about the fact that somehow it is not time to block certain deputies or local deputies i am glad to work together now, especially in those countries where support is so difficult ukraine ukraine and, in principle, russian aggression, regarding the statement, i apologize,

i didn't hear your last question either. the statement of the chinese foreign ministry is based on the results of the meeting of the special representative of china in moscow with lavrov's deputy, and they talked about the negotiations there again. well, we actually understand that now china is returning to this story again. look, the stronger. we are on the battlefield, the stronger we sound with a common voice on all international platforms, the weaker will be the voice of, you know, those countries that in any in any case, we still see and support the russian aggressor, and therefore our arguments, including to our american friends, and to our european friends and other countries of the civilized world, that the more weapons we have, or the more... there will be sanctions policy and secondary sanctions have been introduced

, that, let's say, will weaken the presence of evil, and we are talking now about iran, we are talking now about north korea, and therefore it is very important not to give and avoid all these, if the conversations about what there are negotiations, moreover peace plan, it should be on the terms of ukraine only, but we are also aware that these parallel meetings... are especially informational, yes, that is, the antalya one with the forum and the visit of a representative and to the russian federation, that is, that is all, let's say so, so systematic informational work, but... again, we have here not to not react, but to anticipate and work to anticipate and, of course, squeeze as much weapons as possible from our allies. thank you, ms. maria, maria ionova, people's deputy of ukraine, was on espresso. now we will go to a short pause, after which we will return to our airwaves, but once again we will remind you about

premium sponsor of the national team. puts united stronger together with football! well, we are now adding svitlana romanko, the founder and director of the together in stand ukrainian social movement, to our team. which calls for a complete and permanent embargo on russian fossil fuels. glory to ukraine, ms. svitlana. glory. good day. glad to see you. well, we would like to ask you. the news arrived from our prime minister that they will not, so to speak, continue the transit after the end of the contract for the transportation of gas through our territory to european countries and, accordingly,

as far as we understand, the slovak and hungarian partners got a little excited, so to speak. of the russian gazprom and therefore the kremlin , and accordingly we wanted to ask you right away about the transportation of fuel and oil to the european union, how does this matter look now, so thank you very much for the opportunity to tell just the right thing, i am ready to tell everything, and well , first of all, it is absolutely true you noted that our government confirmed, and we also sent a letter from the organization of the official, we received a response that from the cabinet of ministers that... it is planned to extend the gas contracts with russia, which we are very proud of, we are really proud of such a decision of our government and we hope that there will be no slovakia, hungary and austria as negotiators. and the lobbyists for the extension of transit will not affect this decision of our government because we have heard this issue since the beginning of the war, certainly a major

war, i mean a full-scale invasion, and of course, well, this issue has caused an unequivocal reaction, but now we can demand everything more than the coalition of the great sinka countries, and we are going to do just that, and i wanted to say that yes, currently we see that real to... russia from fossil fuel exports, they fell by almost 30%. in terms of money, it is 104 billion euros for last year for the whole of last year and revenues from oil and coal, which fell under sanctions , decreased by 19%, well, it is about 50 billion euros, but it is not enough. the oil refining loophole, which still exists, allows russia to legally supply the eu and the us with oil products that are refined in third countries, such as india and china, and are therefore shadowy. the russian fleet, which transports russian oil, and it is constantly increasing, then increases, then decreases, well, at the moment it increases a little again, and from countries that do not have jurisdiction, they carry out

hidden transshipment there, very, very many violations, and the biggest violation is that this weak oil price, the limit price is $60, it is not supported, i reviewed it, it was 70, last week, here, and it is certainly not the price that will put russia on the... line and bleed them completely from themselves, so that they do not have budgets to carry on, on to wage an aggressive war, a military campaign in our country, and we believe that this is quite possible, this is what needs to be done, it is necessary, first of all, well, as we can see, this morning there was also good news, the fact that 60 members of the european parliament united and they called on the european commission in full , completely ban all yesterday. energy products from russia, and crude oil, and oil products, and liquefied natural gas, and pipeline gas, and we see that this is a serious step and we expect that

the law of the european union, so informal, but it still has a binding effect, which was adopted last december, about the import ban to the country without liquefied natural gas, it should come into force in the middle of 2024, and the countries should make individual decisions about... the ban on the import of russian energy carriers, and already then we will see how the countries move towards this ban, but it is necessary to continue the pressure on the european union, on the countries of the greater sinka. i want to note that it seems that it will still be in the future, but we must prepare for it now, the g7 countries, the governments will meet in june this year, and in italy, we are planning, well, definitely convey this demand to them, and it should be done as soon as possible, but... well, in fact, we need to hurry and we are very glad that the deputies supported it, and our members of the verkhovna rada also appealed to the european commission and

the european parliament, as we can see, well, their the ban on liquefied natural gas about a month ago, well, we see that the successive steps of the people's elected officials have a political effect, we must continue to strengthen it and completely ban not only the export of russian liquefied natural gas, but also on... oil and petroleum products, as well as to completely limit the role of western firms from engineering to oil service companies in helping the russian fossil fuel sector with critical technologies and know-how through sanction policies and regulations, because in this way we will block russia's full ability to produce anything for the buying sector, and also for the sector, the arms sector and so on, it is possible, but it needs a political one. there is a will and a need for such tough measures to be implemented, to be implemented now. ms. svitlana, i would like to address separate attention to liquefied gas, because we understand that now we mainly buy

it from poland, and poland, in turn, buys it from the russians, and it turns out that in fact we continue to buy russian liquefied gas. do you think there are mechanisms, how this whole story can be fixed, so that conditionally. speaking , according to the documents, everything looks so clean now, that is, we buy from the poles, but the raw materials are russian, and accordingly, we would like some kind of political will or something, well, i don’t know, it’s difficult for me to say, i i am not an expert in this field, but i would still like for the state, and perhaps certain public organizations that deal with this issue, to develop a certain mechanism so that these loopholes could be somehow covered, and as a result, so that we don't... continue to buy it, uh, well, such facts, of course, they need to be carefully confirmed, documented, there must be contracts, this

share must be proven, because, well... in general, europe, yes , europe imported 53% more liquefied natural gas last year than it did in 2021, but there was no such information about poland at the moment, the largest buyers of russian liquefied gas were belgium, belgium, spain, france, and belgium just processed and re-exported 10% to germany, it is known about this, there is evidence, it is... there are facts, we need to understand about poland, but if really, if such facts really exist, well, first of all, the european union should step in, well, if there is a complete ban on russian liquefied petroleum gas gas, then it will not be possible to buy it yourself, no to resell, not under any cover , secondly, these contracts under which such supply, purchase is carried out, they should be public, accessible, and it should be visible who is behind them and what is being sold, well, they are

actually closed and very difficult.. . to get this information, well, and thirdly, there should be criminal liability within the european union for all such companies, because, well , poland is unlikely to do this by the government, it is done by companies, yes, energy companies, which should be responsible for this, and so on responsibility must be imposed by the appropriate governments, because it is unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable, we have information that the european union also received a significant share of liquefied gas from the united states. here , but such information, well, it must be checked, it must be used ms. svitlana, just forgive me, but the embargo was introduced on december 19 , 2023 with a transition period of one year, and we understand that a lot of suppliers actually concluded contracts in the last day, when this embargo has not yet started to operate, so accordingly there is hope that this is already the case no one will conclude new contracts, and in the end, after the validity of these

contracts, which are already signed, russian liquefied gas will not reach us, at least there is hope for this? well, there is no such thing at all, yes , in december there was this law on such contracts, by the way, this is a very good idea, so what is needed are journalistic investigations, and in general an investigation of what is happening there with those contracts, but in fact any contract can be terminated , especially the one concluded with violations, so you need to check here these facts, contact these companies and demand. from them, the termination of these contracts , as concluded with violations, and it seems to me, material losses, financial losses, well, definitely, which are dragging on, companies should be aware that if they want to interact and trade there in this way with a country that is in the open war with an aggressor, a dictator , a country that has shed so much ukrainian blood, they must pay for it and all the costs incurred by them. thank you, mrs. svitlana, svitlana romanko, founder and director

together, the ukrainian visttend. public movement, which calls for a complete and permanent embargo on russian fossil fuels, was veto from the press, well, but in the meantime we are already passing the word to our colleagues, the news will now be on our air, anna yevo melnyk and the news editor have already prepared relevant information for you and for us too, that's why we pass the floor and actually ask you to tell us what this issue will be about. greetings, colleagues, thank you for your work, the news team is working, let's talk about the most important things, and this... i will start the issue with the situation in crimea, it is noisy there, details in a moment. caught a missile in occupied crimea,
