news time on espressu tv channel. kateryna shiropoyas works in the studio. defense minister rustem umyerov, together with commander-in-chief oleksandr syrsky, held a telephone conversation with pentagon chief lloyd austin. the partners discussed the provision of weapons to the ukrainian army, as well as the possibilities of capacity building, and also analyzed the current situation at the front and changes in the most important directions. at night, the russians

launched shaheda over odessa, 18 drones destroyed our air defense forces. this was announced by the south's defense forces. unfortunately, there are also hits. in a building of a recreational facility was damaged in odesa district. in the same area , a renovated private house with a pier and outbuildings is located. previously, people were not injured. and two rescuers were killed and three others were injured due to enemy shelling in donetsk region, the minister of internal affairs ihor klymenko announced. emergency personnel oleg martynenko and bohdan ravlyk extinguished a fire caused by an enemy attack in the kramatorsk district. at this time, the occupiers struck again with a drone. restless night in temporarily occupied crimea, powerful explosions... in ukrchya

and feodosia, this is reported by the local media. according to preliminary information, an unmanned attack was allegedly carried out on the crimean bridge and ships of the black sea fleet. the crossing was closed to traffic. official information is expected later. at night there was a lot of noise in russia, where air defense forces allegedly shot down three drones over the belgorod region. this was reported in the ministry. defense of the terrorist country. the consequences are currently being clarified. the international atomic energy agency handed ukraine equipment for nuclear power plants on 8.5 million euros. this is about supplies from the start of a full-scale invasion. this was stated by the director of magat, rafael grossi. according to him , khmelnytskyi, south ukrainian, and rivne nuclear power plants continue to produce. electricity for

the energy industry of ukraine. over the last three months , the rotation of personnel and agencies at nuclear sites took place according to plan and without delays. joe biden extended sanctions against russia for invading ukraine for another year. these are, in particular, restrictive measures against russian individuals and companies, which were introduced by the predecessors. according to the american leader, the sanctions should remain in force after march 6, 2024. let me remind you that the united states began to introduce restrictive measures against erefia after the occupation of crimea in 2014. when will we get rid of the russian idiom? in the last 30 years, this font has been widely used in ukraine. we see it on the plaques of state institutions and on certificates of honor. it is not ours,

in fact ukraine pays russia for the use of this font. polina karnasyuk, they will continue. russian font izhitsa, ukrainians see it every day at transport stops and university buildings, it is still used to issue honorary degrees. izhitsa even decorates a plaque on the building of the president's office. it was very wrong, it was inevitable that ukraine is so popular. and the most unfortunate thing is that the izhitsa font, which was made by russian designers and registered to russian designers, became so popular among the state authorities, it is obvious that russian designers are paid for its use, and it is very unfortunate that this in our country, the proto-russian shift was used in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and by the president of ukraine and the cabinet of ministers of ukraine. the izhitsa font was developed by a designer in 1988. on

the basis of half-statute, that is, a type of writing of ancient cyrillic manuscripts. she received such a task from the russian academy of sciences. the font was meant to be reproduced. slavic texts in encyclopedias and scientific articles, as the ukrainian typeface artist bohdan gdal says, the izhitsa font gained popularity in our country due to the lack of quality ukrainian alternatives. conventionally speaking, there is a city that is 500-700 years old or more, and they usually write in the central square with this font that we are so ancient and ancient, but in fact it is because of the style of this font that a kind of lie is happening, and... displacement styles, because here, from a historical point of view, from the point of view of the development of the cyrillic alphabet in the territory of ukraine, they did not write like that, and it turns out, well, how to say, replacing history through the style of letters. bohdan gdal is

an active member of the ukrainian community of shriftovyky, he designed the letters that were used to rename the metro station in kyiv, from lev tostoy square to ukrainian heroes square, also his... design adorns inscriptions at public transport stops, such as forestry or snowfields on the boryspil highway. of course, it was kind of a gamble, because i had nothing, and i mean, i had no influence and was just a person on the street offering my vision, but i decided that i would make my options, show, how it should look, later, respectively, if... the public in the broad sense will accept it, and if i manage to convince people who make decisions, then accordingly this idea will be implemented. in august 2023 , a group of deputies registered a bill in the verkhovna rada to ban the use

of fonts of russian origin, in particular in the work of the ukrainian parliament. it is proposed to replace izhitsa with the ukrainian font volya, which was created in 2022 by a well-known ukrainian font. marcyla mozhyn, designer, researcher of font visual culture. as a basis, she took samples of the ukrainian graphic designer and artist nilo khasevych, who at one time managed the upa printing house. however, this one the draft law has not even been submitted to the council for consideration. the espresso tv channel is also calling to join the collection of fpv drones for a separate platoon of unmanned aerial systems. peregrine falcon of the state special transport service. these brave soldiers are actively fighting in the donetsk direction, attacking and restraining the enemy. and thanks to fpv drones, our defenders have already destroyed a lot of russian equipment, fortifications, as well as manpower

of the aggressor. so we have an ambitious goal, to collect uah 1 million for flying weapons. we already have almost uah 975 in our accounts. it. finish line and everything thanks to you, that's why you understand how important each of your donations is today, we ask you to join in, you can now see all the necessary details on your screens, so take out your phones, scan and donate, because we need this so that our boys and girls have everything they need. for now, this is all the news for this hour, to find out more interesting and relevant, join our website espresso.tv, follow, like, comment. my colleagues lesya vakulyuk and andriy saichuk are waiting for you on the air. don't switch, stay with espresso.

because of the war, ukrainians began to use microcredit services more actively. a new law came into force on january 1, 2024, according to which the microloan rate should not exceed 1% per day. those companies that are market leaders and that intend to work in this market for a long time, they adequately perceive the regulation, or, well, let's call it this way, increasing the requirements for the market to become. more transparent, competitive and responsible. the association of ukrainian banks conducted a study to understand who takes microloans and why. there is a stereotype that among the borrowers there are many greeks who take overnight loans for bets in online casinos. researchers note that this is not so. the average borrower is

a solvent citizen who lives paycheck to paycheck, not a person with certain addictions. 67% of users take a loan for daily urgent needs, and only 2%. take loans at night. sociologists note that people with deviant behavior use different ways to get money, so you can't focus only on microcredits. a person with deviant behavior will be use. any ways and microcredits, and to banks, and anything else, i don't think that we need to get attached here, yes, what should be attached here exactly, well, focus like this, because everyone, everyone provides opportunities, this the question is about people with the ninth behavior, and not about the organization, organizations, of course, somehow adapt, but all of them also become victims in a certain sense of the whole type, social type, well, that exists in society. experts emphasize that microfinance organizations do not drive people into debt. as it turned out

research, 62% of users are satisfied with the level of service and are ready to return to institutions if the need arises. the assessment of the relationship to this service, that is, it was , let's say, unexpected, well, that is, we measure what kind of relationship there is with banks, and it is, you know, sometimes very discreet, again among users, here it is quite high. both the attitude towards the service and the desire to recommend it. last year, the national bank introduced the concept of responsible lending, which limits consumer credit costs. the decision also strengthens the assessment requirements creditworthiness of borrowers. increasing the requirements for the financial companies themselves, financial companies today with each , let's say, year are more and more integrated into the regulation of the national bank, supervision of financial monitoring, supervision of activities and so on, that is, responsible

lending is such a general phrase around which we bring the market to a more comprehensible, acceptable, responsible kind. the association of ukrainian banks emphasizes that microcredit is a niche but socially significant segment credit market during the war. this year , the association plans to... launch a project to improve financial literacy, the goal of which is to teach ukrainians to manage their finances and protect themselves from fraud. good morning, dear friends, this is espresso, this is... this is andriy saichuk. this is olesyalyuk. we are glad to see you among our viewers.

you will spend the next few hours in our company, and we in yours. thank you for joining us with your comments on our youtube stream and your donations to our collection. thank you for being with us, all of you this time, all these 741 days, that russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine has been going on. well, gentlemen, the russian dwarf president two, well, they have a dwarf president one - this is putin, and a dwarf president two - this is medvedev, who was before him, and somewhere in between, such a president, a president, a pad, a pad, yes, a president, a pad, the president , the dwarf medvedev, the dwarf medvedev, he tells us, spoke to a russian audience yesterday in some educational program, where he enlightened, so to speak, enlightened the russians about where and... the end of the russian federation and showed a very interesting map where this man

said that in fact almost the entire territory of present-day ukraine is in fact the original russian land and the entire population is also russian. here is this beautiful map. here, an interesting, interesting point is that there are no more lies about denozification, about helping our brotherly people, but stupidly, this is our land, we will take it and that's it. and all the inhabitants, these are also our people, so to speak, threw away, so to speak, all those fig leaves with which they covered their aggression, and as he wrote, by the way, timothy snyder said, he commented on this photo, goebbels is looking for molotov, luckily he hasn't found molotov yet, russia has not signed any pact about this division of ukraine, well, but here such intentions are obvious, by the way. you saw that here the chernihiv region, in particular, is also drawn in red, as if

chernihiv is also russia. we already know oleksiy maslov, a journalist from chernihiv. mr. oleksiy, good morning. good morning, i greet you. saw this map of medvedev, what do you think about the fact that chernihiv is russia? well, the fact that chernihiv is ukraine has been sufficiently proven by the armed forces of ukraine and all chernihiv residents, at least in... february, er, march 2022 at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, in addition, thousands of chernihivs who now... fighting, who are now helping the defense forces, here is a practical answer, and better than any words convinces the opposite. chernihiv is ukraine, and there is no need to explain anything else, but as for the news that is available in chernihiv and chernihiv oblast, unfortunately, they continue, well

that is, the rhetoric, the rhetoric of these presidents of the pads. to be one, verbal, but actions, again, one must judge the invaders by their actions, and these actions, in particular , daily shelling, daily shelling of the border, including chernihiv oblast, and on average, if you count, more than 10 shelling per day of border communities, for the past week, if you take 20 settlements . 20 villages were hit by shelling and the enemy used not only, unfortunately uses, not only, say, artillery and mortars, but also fp drones, nine hits per with the help of such drones, the enemy attacked, i.e. as in the whole of ukraine, as well as along the border of chernihiv oblast, so far

there is no information about the injured or dead, let's hope that there are no such victims either. at least there is no such information now, this is the current situation at the border. chernihiv these days actually honors the victims of the great bombing that the city experienced on march 3, 4-7 people died then, march 3, 22 , it has already passed, mr. oleksiy, do you remember that day, do you remember yours? impression, your experiences, you are a journalist , were you at work then, what were you doing then, er, on that, that day, i was not at the scene of the event, where the explosion took place, and, but, but i was in the city and saw this plane , actually heard the sounds of the explosions , and as far as we could tell, and now

, as far as we could tell, that's another confirmation that it was... it was purely a terrorist attack and because there's actually no military facilities located nearby or anything like that military facilities, but on the other hand, this is yet another evidence of cynicism of the russian military and , in particular, pilots, obviously, because this is the place where that blow was struck, it’s like that, well, if you try to take the enemy’s point of view again, no matter how it is... it’s disgusting, but nevertheless, so cynical to look at by the way, it was a very convenient place, obviously in order to put those bombs, there is such a small square there, and many people gathered there, there was a line to the pharmacy, a line to the store, and they were standing on the street, and therefore apparently, this pilot simply saw that this place is such that

it is possible for him to go down along the street and on so... to fly along the ground in an airplane and drop those bombs, that is, there was a damaged high-rise building, a monolithic one, it was already repaired, and several entrances in nine-story buildings collapsed, people died there too, and people died on the street, but now we really see these photos, now the question of providing... housing instead of the lost one to those people who lived in these nine floors, and that is not all, not all of them are currently involved in the program of restoration, is being considered therefore, they are still being considered at the city level additional opportunities to provide these people who have lost their homes, to provide them with housing in another neighborhood of the city, compensating for

their losses, and indeed in terms of casualties, this is the largest during a full-scale invasion. the largest number of victims and victims in chernihiv, well, chernihiv also experienced another very serious tragedy during the russian full-scale invasion, this is when the russians hit the drama theater with a rocket and now they are saying that they will repair the roof of the drama theater with the funds of the french agency an expert on france. in fact , the day before, they signed a memorandum of cooperation with 5 million euros for the restoration of communities. will be allocated, and among all this there will also be actual money that will go towards the restoration of the drama theater. can you elaborate on this? yes,

expertise france is an international technical cooperation agency, and the assistance provided for in this memorandum, which was signed yesterday, includes, in particular, assistance in restoring the roof of the regional theater. shevchenko theater, actually in the restoration of this theater, several international organizations are involved in its reconstruction, and expertise brans is one of these organizations, and it deals with the issue of restoring the roof in particular, and now also in this memorandum there are such points that concern, for example, several directions are indicated there, and in particular, one of these directions is also, if in addition to the theater, it is also... i can equip bomb shelters or shelters under the center under the districts and other hospitals in chernivtsi region, that is, several

hospitals will be restored thanks to this financial assistance from france, partners, in general, france is one of the largest, most powerful financially strategic partners of chernihiv oblast, precisely because the central, central capital... region of france, ilde france, he became the head of the chernihiv oblast in the 22nd year, and this help is constant, strategic, in particular, five modular bridges were built, which was not critical at the time, well , it was critically important for the restoration of transport connections in chernivtsi region, this is at the expense of the french side, and this simply cannot even be counted in the time of inclusion will be whole. aid provided by france. but you know what's interesting is that despite the fact that chernihiv experienced dramatic events during the full-scale invasion.

at the same time, i read in the news that since the beginning of this year, the average price of an apartment on the secondary market of chernihiv has increased by $400 per square meter, and a square meter in novobudy has risen in price by 6%. what do you think this is due to? are people somewhere moving from other areas to you? of course there are, there are resettlers, displaced persons living in chernihiv, there are quite a few of them, but likewise, the demand is growing, obviously, and due to the fact that some of the chevs are also flipped, although a thorough study is needed here, we can see this fact, and it certainly indicates that the demand has increased, so obviously the number of those who want it. to buy housing and the number of people living in chernihiv is growing, this is logical, but what are the reasons here, an economic and sociological

study is needed here, it is obvious that the population is growing, this is one of the indicators, but why, it is obvious people hope, that means they believe in victory, mr. oleksiy, thank you very much for the conversation, oleksiy maslov was with us, a journalist from chernihiv, well, we will now take a short break, and then we will move to sumy oblast, how will defensive lines be erected in the aurelian regime due to the fact that there is an escalation at the front , we will talk about it with andriana kostenko, doctor of political sciences and head of the social research center and board member of the public organization intellect sumyshchyna, stay with us, there are 25% discounts on lactacyt in the pharmacies psyllsnyk bam and oschad. turn on the investigation, from which cold heart, the new chapter of the hbo series is already on mego, a real detective, find out what secrets the alaskan ice hides, exclusively in

the forces, the finances that were there, the local finances that the communities had , a new calendar year is in sight and the work resumes, continues, we have the longest border in ukraine with a terrorist country, and in fact , it is necessary to constantly strengthen the border, and funds for this are allocated not only from the state budget, local self-government bodies. territorial communities of the institution laid this year for the strengthening of the corresponding buildings yes, so this is just a new stage of work that we will have to do for a very long time. and what do people generally say about what is happening at the front, considering that sumyshchyna has the longest border with russia.
