thanks to the sea route, 25 million tons of products were exported to the military level by ukrainian exports from the black sea ports. last year , 1,300 ships used our sea corridor without the participation of russia. this was announced by the permanent representative of ukraine to the un, serhiy kyslytsia. according to him, our agricultural products are delivered via an alternative sea corridor to 40 countries of the world, and this exceeds the volume of exports for the entire year of ostia's activity. of this scandalous black sea grain initiative, which essentially blackmailed many countries of the world, in particular african countries, moscow. well , it's really an interesting initiative for the growth of the ukrainian economy, for increasing our exports from the united states, in particular the usaid development agency. the agency launched an initiative, it's called harvest, and it 's $250 million in support to farmers for... so that

ukrainians increase, well, in fact, increase the sown area, increase the sown area and export more products to international markets, no, well, a good amount, actually , if it will be effectively used, then of course, well, here it is also important to talk in a complex about the increase of cultivated areas, it is necessary to actively implement the program of demining, humanitarian demining of agricultural lands, it too. works and also attracts international funds, it is not only grants, it is not only some donor money, it is also the involvement of international companies in the ukrainian economy and it is investment. let's go further: more own energy resources, oil and gas, has increased fuel production since the beginning of the year by as much as 12%. the increase is given by new wells. since the beginning of the year in as many as five objects were put into operation in our country. this is the highest volume of production for the corresponding period during. the last two

years, experts say. well, traditionally the highest rates of gas production are in the eastern region of our country. well , naftogaz also offered ukrainian storage facilities, gas storage facilities to be used by turkish partners, as well as for the storage of azerbaijani gas. indeed, now ukraine, in fact, has one of the largest storage facilities in... europe, where the fuel of international companies, in particular companies from of the european union, which is then used for the eu heating season, and we also have the opportunity to sell these storages to other companies and also fill the state budget. not a bad initiative: own gas for ukrainian consumers and own gas storage facilities for foreign companies. well, russian gazprom did not report on profits, as is customary. and speaking of losses, this

happened for the first time in the last 25 years. due to a sharp reduction in supplies to europe last year , the corporation lost 629 billion rubles, which is almost 7 billion dollars. according to according to the reports of the russian energy monopolist, the turnover collapsed by as much as 27%. this is a good indicator, mainly due to the gas business. well, it is clear that the european union is, in fact, at least now known. the use of fuel from the aggressor country, however, the sale of oil on the domestic and foreign markets for the first time exceeded the sale of gas, and this despite international sanctions, despite the price ceiling, as they say for russian bloody barrels, oil continues to be bought in moscow and the kremlin continues to receive profits that go to war in ukraine. no, well, in general, the phrase gazprom reported losses is great, in fact, if anything... the russian economy reported

losses, but unfortunately, it is quite large, that russian economy, and it is very difficult to kill it immediately, well, but at least such positive news, they nevertheless indicate that it is possible, perhaps, perhaps, if we talk about sanctions, many of them really work, many of these restrictions, moscow is trying to bypass through third countries, and indeed sanctions take time, there is really little time in ukraine, but i think that in particular. new restrictions which this week it was proposed in the states, in particular, to reduce the import of russian uranium for nuclear power plants, this is also an effective mechanism that will soon be implemented, and the government of ukraine calls not only the states, but also the european states not to buy the uranium of the aggressors of ukraine, well, we know , which are in european countries, let's say nuclear installations, and i understand that some of them were built not without the help of russia, or even without the help of the soviet union. the united

states has stepped on this painful point as well, which is very important, because before everyone thought that, well, that's it no one will touch. there will be nuclear installations, this is a complicated story, it may be a disaster, but if russia is the flagship in the construction of nuclear power plants, russia is the flagship in the supply of nuclear fuel, i will simply remind you that it was april 26, just as there was a tragedy in 1956, just as the russians were building at the ms near kyiv, which actually led to the largest man-made disaster in the history of mankind due to structural defects, so what kind of experts are they in the construction of nuclear power plants, we... in principle, know the people of kyiv well, especially i will continue, not only the people of kyiv, but all ukrainians, because the whole world is affected, if we talk about the chernobyl tragedy. well, i continue to talk about money, let's go to business. the government made changes to the affordable credit program this week. the ministry of economy reported that

the loan for the livestock industry has been increased to uah 150 million. the maximum amount of credit for working capital financing has also been reduced to five. hryvnias, at the same time they decided to change the parameters of the 579 program, which affect the profit of banks, limited in size the institution's earnings, such freed money, which is approximately uah 3 billion, will contribute to the implementation of the state program of preferential lending at 5.79% per annum. well, more than 16,000 citizens have already become winners of the program on their own. they receive funds for business, the ministry of economy reported, most of them are entrepreneurs who take a grant to invest in business development, increase production volumes, and master new types of activities. in general, the participants of this initiative will create as much as 35,000 thanks to non-returnable state money

new jobs in all regions of ukraine, the ministry of economy reported. the largest number of program participants are from lviv oblast, ivano-frankivsk oblast, and kyiv oblast. oblasts, but really active ukrainians who have the opportunity to take grants are registered as natural persons-entrepreneurs, and here in ukraine a record number of fops have been opened since the beginning of the year, in the first three months as many as 70,000 new natural persons have been registered as entrepreneurs, and this 18% more than at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, according to statistics from the open data service open databot. most of the businesses were established in kyiv region and dnipropetrovsk region, and the capital remains the undisputed leader. according to the open data service, their own business is mainly started in the field of trade, provision of individual services and it. well, if

we talk about the prospects of small, micro-business, for the state, in particular, for the budget, then... the indicator is not bad, almost uah 14 billion of the single tax has been paid by natural persons, entrepreneurs, fop to the state budget since the beginning of the year, well, this is the figure, more than almost 14 billion hryvnias of tax, was announced by the leader danylo hetmantsev of the tax committee of the verkhovna rada, well , i will end the column about money during the war with such an optimistic figure, that's how i saw this economic week, but vasyl zima's big broadcast continues, he will tell. to give a lot more interesting things about sports, the weather section will be from natalka didenko. i say goodbye to you, watch us. and now it's time to talk about sports events. moreover, some events are happening, important

events are happening right now. evgeny pastakhov is next to me. eugene, good evening, please. good evening vasyl. greetings espresso viewers. indeed, we will summarize the results of the european cup week... we will also remember and talk in detail about the fateful match for the ukrainian national hockey team. wait. it seems that apothecaries have invented a cure for defeat. bayer leverkusen played their 47th match in a row without a loss. the day before, in the semi-finals of the europa league, xabi alonso's team beat roma on the road. the match took place in rome, the capital of italy. bayer scored a goal in each half, in the 28th minute, after mistakes of the wolves in their own half of the field , florian virts opened the score, already in the second half of the match, robert andrich hit the roma goal with a powerful shot. so bayer remains

undefeated in the current season. before the so -called clean season, i.e. a season without losses at all, alonso's wards have six games to play, in particular. on may 9 , the newly crowned champions of germany will host roma in the second leg of the europa league semi-finals. and in another semi-final match of the europa league. olympique marseille and atalanta did not decide the winner, a draw was recorded 1:1, and the fans actually saw two goals scored before the 20th minute of the first half, the guests from bergamo opened the scoring in the 11th minute and scored gianluca scamak, in the 20th marseille restored the lead with the efforts of chancel mbemba. so the most interesting thing in this duel is ahead in the match on the field of the italian team in a week. and also,

the conference league semifinals took place the day before. probably the biggest sensation happened yesterday in birmingham, if we talk about the conference league, aston villa conceded at home greek olympiakos. striker ayub elkabi scored a hat-trick for the visitors, another goal was scored against willeaniv. and the english team responded to the four goals scored by the greeks with two well-hit shots by oli watkins and musada. i would like to note that astanvilo is the only and last representative, currently the only and last representative of the english premier league, which continues the fight in the playoffs of the eurocups. and the other semi-final match of the conference league was also very effective. on its own field, it beat belgian brugge with a score of 3:2. violets

won this victory playing in the majority. forward mbalan zola scored the decisive goal in stoppage time before the second half. the second leg between fiorentina and club brugge will take place on wednesday, may 8. the remaining matches of both the europa league and the conference league will be played on the 9th. and good news for andrii. lunina, the ukrainian goalkeeper of real madrid will defend his team's goal in the second leg of the champions league semi-final against bayern munich at the santiago bernabéu. the head coach of the varshkovs, carlo ancelotti, spoke about what back to training thibaut courtois, the main goalkeeper, real's belgian goalkeeper, and according to the italian coach, lunin will defend the goal in the match against bayern, and thibaut courtois played. one half in saturday's spanish league match against cadiz, another

half on the field will be played by madrid's third goalkeeper, kepa arizabala. thibaut is feeling good, he will play tomorrow. after such a long time, it is great news for us that he is back, as is militao. i think courtois can help us, he is very excited and we are all very happy that he... let me remind you that in the first match in munich, the teams drew 2:2, and then raal's goal was also defended by our andrii lunin. and finally, now let's talk about ukrainian football, the matches of the 27th round of the ukrainian premier league are scheduled for the weekend. the following meetings will take place on saturday: oleksandria rukh, obolon lnz and metalist 1925 vorskla, on easter sunday. polissia zorya, dynamo kolos and shakhtar chornomorets and two more matches are scheduled for monday. dnipro-1 kryvbas and

veras minai. dnipro-1 kryvbas, except that this is a team from the upper part of the tournament table, this match is also interesting because the head coach of dnipro, yuriy maksimov, said that if his team loses, he will leave dnipro-1. so we will traditionally summarize the results of the tour in the sports section already on monday. and now let's talk about hockey. playdown. in these minutes, the national team of ukraine is holding its final match at the world championship in division 1. our boys, the wards of dmytro hristych, are meeting with the national team of lithuania. the game started at 19:30 and right now, our hockey players are ahead. the score is 1:0 in favor of ukraine. the winner of this matchup, we hope it will be in... the ukrainian team will be promoted to division 1a.

the ukrainians, as well as the lithuanians, who are the hosts of the competition, won all previous matches at the championship. ukraine has a better goal difference - 27:1, lithuania - 15:3. but only the winner of this confrontation will receive a promotion in the class and go to division 1a. let me remind you that our national team of ukraine was eliminated to division 1b. 7 years ago, in 2017, and all this time it was not possible for our hockey players to rise in class, but we hope it will happen today. and well, we will conclude with this. sports column, i wish you a quiet, peaceful evening, the big broadcast on espresso continues and vasyl zama and natalka didenko will continue it in a moment. well, thank you very much yevhen pastukhov for the information about sports and we wish you success in the ukrainian

national hockey team, and now i will call on you to donate to the needs of the armed forces in... ukraine, so, yes, so we are asking you, so we are asking you join the collection on repair of heavy armored vehicles in the combat zone in the solodarsk and zaporizhzhia directions, the repair and recovery regiment works mainly on the contact line or in the gray zone in the open air in any weather day and night, so for emergency recovery and return to the battlefield of damaged military equipment , including tanks, combat vehicles, infantry, armored personnel carriers, we need a bus that will deliver mobile, repair teams and equipment to the combat zone, as well as pneumatic-hydraulic jacks for prompt repair of foreign equipment. our the goal is uah 630,000, and i believe that we will be able to close this collection as quickly as possible. and what awaits us in terms of weather for the weekend, because

for many it is a festive, easter weekend. natal klienko will tell us in detail, madam natalya. to see you, please, you have a word, the council is very mutual, let's talk about the weather for the coming weekend, what will easter be like, both at night and during the day, literally in a second, synoptic pre-easter greetings to everyone, of course, and we are talking about the weather that is expected in the coming days, on easter, actually, but... but first i want to to tell you what is the name of our favorite, of course a component of this holiday, paska among neighbors, both near and far, and generally not only among us. i discovered a lot of interesting things for myself and i will gladly share them with you. well, our closest neighbors are in poland, it's called babka, or baba

"welkonotcna", polish easter bread, in italian, easter dove, eh... colomba pasquale, well, in italian, as always, everything is very beautiful, english easter bread hot crosban, hot cross bun, among bulgarians and romanians, kozunak, and this bread, pie they cook for both christmas and easter, that's so interesting, the dutch easter bread is paastol, the croatian and montenegrin easter bread is called pintsia, in portugal it is called folari, and the greeks, armenians and turks. easter bread is called tsureki, and of course we know very well that pascha is a ceremonial easter bread, the name comes from the word pascha, one of the names of easter, and mostly paska, of course, it is white wheat unsweetened bread, but now we already know , that there are simply all kinds of masterpieces here they make it out of pashka, well

, i would like to note that pashka ironing is traditionally a women's activity, they bake pashka. mostly on maundy thursday, sometimes on saturday, and even less often on good friday, but still, i found that it is less often, that is, it is not forbidden, because, for example, i baked today myself , so it just happened, in general, well , they say that ideally you can bake on thursday the best, well, we talked about passover, and we are moving to higher spheres, so to speak, we are talking about the behavior of the earth's magnetic field, now for your attention, as always, prognostic the diagram shows that at the beginning of the day there will be a certain activation of it, and the geomagnetic activity will be more powerful, so please pay attention to your well-being, your health, although the weather is now, well, so favorable, comfortable , but still, there are people who feel not quite comfortable when

geomagnetic activity is increased, and actually about the weather, we will now talk about the weather closest to... but of course i will tell you what the weather will be like on easter . so, we traditionally start from the western regions, and tomorrow in the west of ukraine excellent comfortable weather is expected with an air temperature of 21-25°, no precipitation, dry and sunny. by the way, tomorrow the west will be almost the warmest in ukraine. in the north of ukraine , the air will be a little fresher, because the maximum air temperature is only +16-+19°, that is, it is cold. what is expected, but here, well, such fresh weather will be compensated by a bright and very pleasant sun. the weather will also be good in the east of ukraine tomorrow. fresh, especially at night, about 2.5° is expected in the eastern regions warm, well, during the day +13 + 15 and also without precipitation.

the central part of ukraine will also belong to the zone of anti-cyclonic weather, i.e. without precipitation, the air temperature, as you can see, is also not very high, +16 -19°. it will be a little warmer in the southern part of ukraine. traditionally, of course, the air temperature there is from 19 to 20.3° and there is also a lot of sun. kyiv: tomorrow, saturday , the weather is expected to be sunny, the air temperature will be +17, +19°. and, of course, i want to talk about the weather that is expected for easter. it will be cold at night, so dress warmly, who is going, for example, to the temple, somewhere between four and eight, from 4 to 9° of heat, and without precipitation. but in the day. in may, short-term rains with thunderstorms in places, although they are not so powerful, but nevertheless, they will pass in the afternoon in the western and northern regions of ukraine, and literally one day this sunday

will warm up, and the closest cooling that we forecasters see will begin on the 8 of may, but for now, of course, everyone has a calm, beautiful and peaceful easter. i can only agree with natalka's wishes grandpa, have a delicious easter, peace. of course, we understand that obviously the enemy will be rampant during these holidays, so be careful, in some regions of ukraine there are additional security measures for the easter holidays, especially those regions that are closer to the front line, but wherever we are, we know that ballistics fly fast and can do terrible things, as we once again saw with the example of odessa. there was a tragedy this week, so be careful, take care, keep a cool head no matter what, i'll see you on monday, once again, i congratulate you on the upcoming holidays, and

in just a moment serhiy rudenko will be on the air, the prodict program, stay with espresso, all the best to you, good evening, we are from ukraine. greetings, i'm andrii yanitskyi, gulsum khalilova, with me today in the bereber program, which in ukrainian means together. together we tell the main news of crimea, this is a joint project of the krymskatar tv channel atr and the espresso tv channel. silya maleikum, congratulations and on the air of the atr tv channel, on the air of the tv channel in a joint project, as i said my colleague andriy, it really is... the name, it was chosen for a reason, because we know, and history knows, history shows that only together, only beraber can defeat and

overcome the enemy, and today all of ukraine is doing this today , all citizens of ukraine, and indeed, first of all, our military, the armed forces of ukraine, in particular the 48th oshb named after noman chilibidzhikhan, are now heading south. direction are overcoming and defeating the russian occupiers, so you can always support them by using the qr code that you will see on your screens, and our directors will show it, now our the guys need drones for the fpf, so you can support really now using the qr code you see on your screens, and we continue to talk about crimea within the framework of this program, we continue to talk about the more relevant events that happened this week on the territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula and indeed about the actions of the armed forces of ukraine on

the territory of crimea and against russian military strategic objects, because this week we know that the ukrainian armed forces attacked russian military objects at airfields , in dzhankoya, there were also explosions in sak district, in the district. yevpatoria, that is , kezlev and in the terkhankut area. yes, khanum said in a whisper to the air that she was not ready to say much, but immediately seized the initiative. we, after all, are not the main characters in this program. we invite experts who know more than us. and traditionally, the first block is dedicated to military operations. oleksiy hetman, reserve major of the national guard of ukraine, a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war, is in touch with us... long time no see we saw you once on the crimean channel,

it is very good that you are now with us on the espress channel. thank you very much, mr. oleksiy. i'm with you on the espress channel. thank you all together. mr. oleksiy, the occupiers have intensified the construction of defense structures in crimea, does this mean that they are waiting for something, or is this just money laundering, corruption, as is customary in russia? well, first of all, there are thieves in russia, yes, we know in one word, to characterize what is happening there, some. the breeds that they build there, they cause, well, what is less surprising when on on the southern coast, a year ago they started to build some fortifications right somewhere near the beach, well, i think it was money laundering, and in order to somehow maintain the tension inside the crimea in the sense that

they were ready to repel our offensive maximum level. to think that these fortifications will somehow be able to influence the actions that we are going to take there, well, it is not worth it, i think that we all understand this perfectly, and if we still decide to liberate crimea, well wanted to if this year is the beginning of the liberation, then in order for the crimea to be liberated, excuse me for being a little toftologically, we need to destroy the kerch bridge alone. from the logistics routes of the russians, and of course the first one in which the road goes, well , through dojinkuya, through melitopol, through volnovakha, through well from the russian federation, and the plosders, which we have near krynyk, it is not actively expanding yet , but we have been holding it for more than six months, and i am sure that what we are, the knowledge we

have acquired. on the street is more of an experience like this we need to do like our special units of the main intelligence agency, which, well, they are called teams that know how to conduct combat operations from the water, they trained in great britain for at least six months, they were already experienced people, they are not, not those who are fresh mobilized, but nevertheless, they underwent additional training, so we expect that after the wells, we will be able to move in the direction of skidovskyi, in the direction of armenia, well, the main thing is to cut off crimea from external supplies, turn it into a conditional island, destroy the means of air defense that are there, the means of communication, which we are actively doing, destroying the airfields that chenko isaki, we have just said about this too, then any fortifications that will be built there, they will not have importance, then the military group that will be left without

anything and any supply from... the russian federation will be largely doomed. patients understand this perfectly, they were preparing for it, but to do something significant. they even wanted to convert large amphibious ships into transports for something give a ride, understanding that the logistical routes can be interrupted, but i think that our and the main intelligence directorate and the security service of ukraine, and especially the general staff, and the ranks of the supreme commander-in-chief understand perfectly what needs to be done and we are gradually already taking these actions. you know, mr. oleksiy, i really like reading the russian occupying, crimean telegram channels, well , i like it, because they are panicking there, especially after the strikes of the armed forces of ukraine with weapons attacks on crimea and on russian military facilities, and you know, there they write about that ukraine's tactics now it is like this, it destroys the russian and weakens the russian air defense

in order to, during the inauguration of the russian leader putin, simply hit the kerch bridge, that's how you like this story, can we really expect such a gift for vatashka from the russians? well, not many have registered, the inauguration is scheduled for may 7, not quite legitimate, according to the european union, the president, well , it would be very good, you know, for the russians, they like to adjust some actions to certain dates, this is characteristic of them, well, it is not quite right from a military point of view, but sometimes for that, well, war is the continuation of politics by other means, and it necessarily has a political component, if on october 7, just in time for the inauguration , the kerch bridge is hit, i think that the effect will be very, very serious, you can imagine, it's a holiday, when it's a holiday for us, when uh... on

the day of putin's inauguration.
