the first in the world to create its fleet of strike drones, an effective fleet, and this is the skill that we will export, we will export security. they hit the kerch bridge twice, hit 11 enemy ships, destroyed more than 500 tanks and found more than 200 traitors. the security service of ukraine carried out many successful special operations during the two years of the great war. this is coordinated work with the defense forces and sub. billyam in the occupied territories on sbu day, which we celebrate today, we will remember the contribution of the service to the struggle for the independence of our state just look, the crimean bridge is on fire, it just blew 2 minutes ago. the almost impossible was achieved. specialists of the security service of ukraine hit the kerch bridge twice. it happened for the first time in october 2022. then a part of the structure was blown up with the help of a truck with... a bag, on july 23

, ukrainian naval drones reached the illegal crossing. the partial destruction of the bridge forced the occupiers to limit the transfer of military equipment and fuel to the south of ukraine. the russian invaders still haven't fully restored the kerch bridge, so and do not use it to move weapons. apart from logistics restrictions in the temporarily occupied crimea , ships of the black sea fleet of the russian federation regularly burn. the same sea drones of the security service of ukraine, sie babyby and mamai, have already hit 11 ships. on october 22, sbu marines attacked enemy ships in sevastopol bay. at that time, four warships were damaged, including the admiral makarov frigate. last year, security service drones destroyed samum missile carriers. and pavel

derzhavin, tanker sikh, amphibious assault ship olinihorsky hornyak, and also caused damage the large military tug nikolay mur and the newest reconnaissance and hydrographic ship vladimir kozitskyi. some of them are irreversible losses, others will take a long time to recover. sbu employees are part of the defense forces of ukraine and on... the front line. since the beginning of 2023, they have eliminated more than half a thousand russian tanks that fired and tried to break through the positions of the armed forces. among the destroyed tanks of the aggressor country are the newest t-90 and t-90m, the cost of which is almost 5 million dollars each. also, the security forces of the service destroyed more than 1000 bmp. while our soldiers are heroically defending

every piece of ukrainian land , agents of an enemy country are caught in the flesh. since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the security service of ukraine has reported suspicions to more than 2,000 traitors and almost 5,000 collaborators. the sbu does not forget about the cleansing of the church environment from russian influence. to date, the courts have already sentenced 22 defendants. sentences to traitors in cassocks, the special service also exposed 47 enemy intelligence networks, the largest of which operated in the mykolaiv region. congratulations again on theirs on this holiday, the security service of ukraine wishes more destroyed enemies and take care of yourself. well, let's move on to events that happened outside of ukraine. yuri fizar is next to me. yuri, you know what i already see. the river is discussing this

demarche of the russian ambassador in warsaw, i think we will have time to talk about it, but surely, surely you will not start with that, please, no, i will not start with that, i will only mention it, today there is a lot of other information, in particular about how estonia helps ukraine to buy weapons from germany fix a hybrid threat from russia, and kimchen didn't leave for a joke, my name is yuriy fizar, this world is about ukraine and i'll start in a moment. and the world about ukraine bursts into the air of espresso with such encouraging information from the united states of america, the house of representatives of the us congress intends to hold a vote in april to unblock the bill on the allocation of additional funding for assistance to ukraine, the chairman of the committee of the lower house of congress announced this . michael

mccall, a republican from the state of texas aired by the cbs television company. members of the lower house of america's highest legislative body are currently on ... easter vacation, but according to mr. mccall, speaker of the house of representatives mike johnson is going to bring the question to a vote after lawmakers return from vacation, from a short break on april 9, whether they will vote for help, for the allocation of help on this particular day is currently unknown, but the congressmen are serious, let's hear michael mccall in direct speech. i would like to finish with this question as soon as possible, because the situation in ukraine is dire. if we lose there in the same way as in afghanistan, at the same time we lose to putin, if we allow him to seize ukraine and moldova, georgia, then we will abandon our allies, as it already

happened in afghanistan. will it make the united states of america weaker or stronger? i think weaker. like i said, pretty encouraging information. but there is one, unfortunately, nuance: today on facebook , the expert of the council of foreign policy, the ukrainian prism, oleksandr kraev, whom i like to invite to my broadcast, wrote about that in the house of representatives, unfortunately, a new and rather protracted speakership may begin for us, the fact is that donald trump could give a fas, as kryel wrote, to displace mr. mike. johnson from the position of speaker of the lower house of the american congress, and this very strong pro-trump woman marjorie taylor green, who spoke a lot and often badly about ukraine, can make just such a proposal, and the question here is that right now the speakership can

drag on for a very long time. a very, very, very long time, because mike johnson himself, first of all, he's not the pro-trumpers themselves liked him, because they thought he was too soft and... compromises with the democrats very easily, the majority is republican, they considered him pro-trump and that's why they didn't want him, well, i 'm not talking about the democrats, and that's why the speakership will drag on for a long time due to the fact that it can take a very long time, as in the case of the previous speaker, a very long time to choose a candidate who would be ee, who would be liked by all representatives of the house of representatives, so this nuance is very unfortunate, i really hope, all so what the ninth... of april, after the congressmen return from vacation to the house of representatives, they will vote, but there is this, but. let's go further: estonia helps ukraine purchase weapons abroad, minister of defense hanno pevku told about this in an interview with postimes, according to him,

all purchases are made with ukrainian money. o official tallinn helps kyiv not to waste time on bureaucratic things. the minister added that... on the estonian side, all the weapons that ukraine asks for are bought by the defense center of investments operating within the structure of the ministry of defense, the center has the necessary contacts all over the world, further a quote from minister pevkur: ukraine can receive everything faster and easier with the help of estonia. if we speak even more specifically, ukraine just now has a lot to do, apart from preparing documents for procurement, they have money, they need something, and we help them. it is to receive, and we thank, we also thank the czech republic, which also helps, in the end we thank everyone who joins in this help, but if the hungarian, if, i'm sorry, estonia helps us so much, hungary constantly says that they want

to help, to do everything so that peace reigns in ukraine, but they are not opposed to not giving the assembly money, but to organize some different negotiations, for example, with russia on a peaceful atom. the minister of foreign affairs of hungary, peter sijarto, said this today. and he said this not just anywhere, during a speech at the plenary session of the atom expo forum in the russian city of sochi, where he came again at the invitation of the russian government. at the same time, he emphasized that it is official budapest, as before, objects to attempts to introduce sanctions against russia in the field of nuclear energy, and other countries. mr. szijarto says, butcim is even asking hungary to block such sanctions. well then, let 's listen to peter sijarto in direct speech. we want the future to be based on the principles of mutual respect.

there is no mutual respect in international politics now. it was replaced by mutual admonitions, criticism and accusations. it became impossible to talk to each other respectfully about practical issues. so i think that... we can go back to mutual respect in the future, because it is on this basis that peace and a better life for the entire population of the earth are built, i believe in this, so... i want to ask mr. sijarto, you, this is a serious, respectful attitude towards each other, i mean to russia, mutual respect for russia, according to him, they are not there now, and they will not be, after what russia has done and continues to do on the territory of ukraine, but in hungary they continue to bend their line. but in germany, the threat of russia's hybrid war is growing. about it in the interview the interior minister told the newspaper zut deutsche ciightung. of country law nancy feather. according to her, this threat has now taken on new forms, as russia tries

to influence with the help of lies and mass disinformation. but, she says, stalking is also no less active, if not more so. she accused the kremlin of deliberately facilitating the movement of refugees to western europe. and then, a quote, very short, nancy feather. russia also wants to destabilize the west through migration. this is the end of the quote. and at the same time , she emphasized that in the coming months. government germany will take more decisive measures to counter russia's influence in western europe. the threat of an attack on western countries by russia is now extremely high, and therefore in europe it is necessary to return to mandatory military service and increase defense spending to pre-cold war levels. this is the president of latvia edgarin. said in an interview with the financial times, in his opinion, this

will help to cope with the problems of replenishing the personnel of the armed forces of european countries. mr. president also believes that now there are some difficulties with this, and this is despite the fact that, according to him, the military leadership prefers a fully professional army. the military leadership prefers professional troops, but mr.... the president of latvia says that this is not enough, because europeans do not want to join the professional army now. the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland plans to develop its own nuclear power and strengthen its own nuclear deterrent. this is stated in the statement of the prime minister of the country, rishi sunak. in it, in particular, it is said that nuclear energy is cheaper and therefore investing money in its development will have a... positive effect on the british economy, moreover, a report by the ministry

of defense will be published in the near future, which will outline concrete steps to strengthen the nuclear deterrent, in particular, with the help of adopting nuclear submarines of the dreadnought type in the early 2030s and deepening the partnership with australia and the usa within the framework of okus. but france is for it. carried out the highest level of terrorist threat, the corresponding decision was adopted the previous evening at a meeting of the national defense and security council in the elysee palace, this meeting was called by president emmanuel macron. in the text published by the press service, the quote is literally about this. due to the fact that the terrorist organization islamic state claimed responsibility for the attack in moscow, with the threats facing our country, we are you. raise the level of the counter-terrorism plan to the highest level, which

means an immediate threat of attack. well, for one more piece of information, i'm vasyl today came across, the new york times wrote with reference to its own sources in american intelligence that the west is very much afraid that during the olympic games, which will take place in paris this summer, terrorist acts may be carried out, and they may. .. to carry out the representatives of this organization, the islamic state, and this is very serious, and one more moment i remembered how today i read about what was already literally before the air, that the strategic communications coordinator of the national council white house security john kirby said that, well, first of all, ukraine, ukraine is not connected with the terrorist attack in crocus hall, crocus city hall, or crocus hall in the suburbs of moscow and... turned to ross, there is an indirect appeal to russia that there is no need to try to tie

ukraine by the ears to this, and zakharova replied and zakharova said: "the west does not want to help us solve these issues related to the terrorist threat, well, in a word, they will pull everything by the ears , which can only be drawn in. and finally, wants to meet the prime minister of japan, fumio kissida, asked the authorities of north korea for the possibility'. meetings with sunshine marshal kim jong-un. this was reported by the sister of the north korean leader, kim yo-yung, but at the same time, she immediately added that one wish... would not be enough and continued the quote from the first sister of the democratic people 's republic of korea: as long as japan is hostile towards north korea and oppresses our sovereign rights, we will consider it as an enemy, not as a friend, the prime minister must know that he will not be able to meet with the leadership of our country only because he wants it, or simply because he is full

of determination, she said, as she cut off, and at the same time... the day before, kim jong-un again visited the training ground , this time in khukputnoi, and looked at the combat capability tests of one from the tank divisions, which is called, somehow, even paradoxically, the seoul tank division, let me remind you that the capital of north korea is pyongyang, seoul is the capital of south korea, but it very much, very much intensified these trips to the training grounds and became very active this rhetoric that rings a bell. the west, and its neighbors south korea and japan, i hope that this is just rhetoric. well, today i have everything in the world about ukraine section, but the international week is just beginning, so tomorrow there will be more, and there will be more in our future broadcast, so don't switch. well, thank you very much yuri fizero

, and now the plot is for your attention, in the spring in... poltava oblast, they plan to plant more than 5 hundred hectares of forest, they are forming a mixture of pine and deciduous trees, and the foresters say that it is important to expand the land now because of the war and the need for wood in the front-line areas, the majority, more in the plot of anna morozova, i hold in my hands small children of scots pine, these babies are grown from seeds, we harvest them on the territory of our branch, from cones, then the cone is processed and you get it. seeds, a forest crop engineer , together with her colleagues went to lutenska hromada to afforest an abandoned pasture, this year they need to cultivate almost 20 hectares of forest. this is one of the areas prepared in advance for planting pine trees. foresters work with such a unit, this kolesovo sword, it is driven into the ground in a certain area, and in this way a hole is made for

a pine sapling. foresters say, the weather favors the work, after all. the frosts are over, there is enough moisture in the soil and the trees are in a state of rest. we now create such a hole for the seedling, it is made with a sword, wheel-shaped, we make such a hole, then we insert the seedling, the root system, so that it is completely hidden there , we fix it so that it straightens, and the sword is driven from the side, and due to this, we remove everything excess air from the pit, local residents join in the work, mrs. natalya says, weeds and wild trees have been growing here for more than 15 years. well, in general, this is a place with us, it is floodplain, here before the river overflowed its banks, all the meadows were completely covered. once we planted acorns a little further there, well, it's beautiful, we will have fresh air , we have forests, you see how beautiful the mixed forest is here,

there will be pine conifers, that's why the community decided to transfer hectares to the balance of forestry. previously, this is the territory. was used as a hayfield and pasture , and previously people received many animals yes, these are agricultural cows, yes, and they grazed them, then, well, the herd decreased, and of course they stopped using it, and it became overgrown with pears. now it is very important to create new forests, because every year several hundred cubes of forestry wood are transferred to the construction of fortifications - says ihor fedyai. in the near future. this branch of the hadiatsk forestry is going to transfer 400 cubic meters of wood there. god willing, the war will end with us, yes, with our victory, and these areas will no longer serve for fortifications, but for our children and grandchildren in the future and will be used, well, serve as lungs for our planet earth. this spring , more than 500 ha

of mixed forest are planned to be planted in poltava oblast, which is almost 4 million trees. work in the region will continue for another two weeks. and for the frost. bohdan proskurov from poltava for espresso tv channel. hello, this is svoboda ranok, an informational project of radio svoboda. top guests every day. this is the shipping district of kherson. turn on live. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut. we tell. on weekdays at 9:00 the verdict with serhiy rudenko from now on in a new two-hour format, even more analytics, even more important topics, even more top. guests: foreign experts , inclusion from abroad, about ukraine, the world, the front, society, and also feedback, you can express your opinion at any time of the day

with the help of a telephone survey, turn on and be included, the verdict with serhiy rudenko, every day on weekdays, from 20 to 22 for espresso.

good evening, we are from ukraine, we are continuing, and i will add alexander to the conversation, money. time of war, alexander, good evening, please good evening to the audience, congratulations to vasyl, in the next few minutes we will figure out how long it will take to restore dniproges, you will also learn about the transit of ukrainian agricultural products, what was decided there in poland, everything in detail in a moment. i am oleksandr morchyvka, congratulations, this is a column about money during the war. therefore, critical consequences after an enemy attack on the infrastructure. there is no underground gas storage, fuel supply services for ordinary people have been damaged, well, they will not be affected, says oleksiy chernyshov, the head of naftogaz,

the gas is located in a much deeper area, to a considerable depth, damage , the ground part is damaged, and it will require restoration, but there are enough reserve capacities, - assured oleksiy chernyshov, let me remind you that... there were indeed enemy attacks on the ukrainian gas transportation system, and the upper part was indeed damaged, they say in naftogaz , and there are no problems for those foreign companies that store their fuel in our underground storages, there are currently no problems. but the dniprovska hpp is not working after the russian missile attack, it will take several years to fully restore it, about this was said by the ceo of ukrhydroenergo, ihor syrota. so far , it is not possible to understand in detail how much time is needed to complete the work. the demolition of the debris is still ongoing, as the ceiling and walls

from under the crane beams leaned towards the engine room. it is necessary to dismantle this upper part of the mashzal in order to get to the lower one, a really difficult process, but to restore the full operation of dniproges, much more time is needed. let me remind you that on march 22, the enemy fired as many as eight missile strikes at... the dam of the dnipro hydroelectric plant in zaporizhzhia. but a large-scale fire engulfed the novocherkassk state district power plant. two units are decommissioned. the local authorities called this an accident, but locals are sure that the station was attacked by drones. the novocherkassk state district power plant is the second largest in the rostov region. the facility is located 60 km from the ukrainian border. on average, nine power units produce approximately 2,250 megawatts of power. and

the energy system of ukraine suffered losses of about 100 million euros due to recent russian attacks. chairman of ukrenergo volodymyr kudrytskyi told about it. he added that the preliminary data refer only to damage to high-voltage equipment. he says that energy workers were ready for such a situation. formed the composition of equipment, materials, and also trained to act quickly. well, we are also talking about energy. oleg penzyn, executive director of the economic discussion club, is in touch with us. greetings, mr. oleg, good evening. i congratulate you too. they wanted to show an interesting map so that we could look at it together. analyzed how many oil refineries in russia were affected. by ukrainian drones, let's look at this graphic, with red dots we see exactly those refineries that stopped the work of these... interestingly, by the way, there are

such data that our armed forces can destroy 62% of the oil refining industry of the aggressor country, now it is a little less half of the refineries closest to our border are affected. what is your opinion, will this process really continue and to what extent will it undermine the essence of the oil refining industry in russia? well, i would did not say half. impressed, impressed a little less, according to bloomberg's prices, these impressions reduced the total volume of russian oil processing at their refineries by about 12-14%, this is according to different estimates, depending on how to estimate, that is , we must understand with you that when the refinery is working normally, it is not just one rectification column, there

are several of them, and even an impression in... one column does not stop the entire oil refining complex, that is, another column works there, another column, or two or three of them, and so on, that is, it is necessary understand that the situation reduces the total volume of production, but it cannot be said that the refinery is stopped, it should also be noted that the longest distance to the affected russian refinery is about 900 km, that is, this indicates that drones appeared in... , which can hit targets at, well, excuse me, such a depth on the territory of the russian federation, it is in a straight line, and if we understand with you that a drone never flies in a straight line, it always necessarily masks its path by maneuvering, then this is definitely volume is much longer and it clearly gives to understand the russian federation that at the moment... their refineries are under

much greater, greater danger than it was before. in general, according to the estimates of the europeans, at the moment, the total volume of daily oil processing has decreased from approximately 5,600,000 barrels to 5,100,000 barrels per day, that is, approximately 10-11% of the total amount of oil processing has decreased. to what extent these figures, mr. oleg, can affect, well, at least domestic consumption in russia, as far as is known, there was a shortage of fuel there even before the drone attack, yes, it is true, and we know that they actually imposed an embargo on russian oil, on russian oil products, in particular on gasoline, even before the start of active shelling by our drones, their refineries, there were already certain problems related to

price disparity. a situation occurred in which the cost of wholesale lots increased significantly, because it was not regulated in any way, while at the same time retail was regulated, it appeared cheaper than wholesale, and this undoubtedly led to the fact that that traders stopped buying wholesale batches, and as a result they had a deficit, which the russians are absolutely traditional for them... whether they decided by restricting or completely banning the export of gasoline abroad, this clearly reduced export receipts for the year by about 3-4 billions of dollars, but in any case, one must understand that the loss of the refinery is a serious blow to the ability to supply the domestic market with oil products, primarily the armed forces of the russian federation, so in this

situation. and the position of the ukrainian armed forces is active, mr. oleg, and it is clear that after the drone attacks on the russian refinery, in particular , international analysts began to analyze the situation, to say that oil on the world market is more expensive precisely because of these explosions, as far as possible, well, information that is profitable russia, or how true it is, because these things seem a little different to me. well, it seems to you right, and it seems to me that this is a classic version of an informational and psychological operation, on the contrary, if you have less processed in the domestic market, you objectively have the opportunity to reach the very volume of crude oil production, a larger volume to ensure sales on the market, i.e. the international market, i.e., on the large scale, the reduction of processing in the russian federation, on the contrary, would be enough...
