such anti-aircraft tanks called the cheetah , which they now want to supply, and they want there now, there is a problem with the bullets for this cheetah, which are supplied from switzerland, and now switzerland refuses to supply these shells, but in principle, this e- the german government has already crossed the rubicon, and apparently it will be in a world in which it can supply heavy weapons to ukraine. well, you know, now everyone, as they say in ukraine, must do everything in his power. in hands to use all available tools and if possible not so many not so many weapons in the hands of germany, what do you notice about the effects,

in particular on the e-e situation with energy resources and their trade in germany, there is still quite a lot do you have an understanding of what there is finally a position or a consensus still not reached at the socio-political level, in particular in germany, what to do with russian oil and gas, well, as far as i understand, it is indicative of the import of coal and also oil. already the import of these coal and oil has decreased. there is another problem with one large oil processing plant in eastern germany in the city of shved, which is partially owned by rosneft and where it supplies the wire from the pipe of friendship through the pipe of friendship. the so-called er oil and

er well, this is now also er trying to solve more problems with gas because there is a whole overgrown german industry that is so far er dependent on this russian gas and there is no opposition there . would say between logisticians and by economists, where there are unions of m-m and e associations of e-e there are e-e managers and elastically well those who are e-e controlled by these industries that certainly do not want e-e that these sanctions were introduced and on the other hand, economists say that germany could cope with this, uh, with such embargoes, although for germany it will mean a recession, that is, germany, if it still leads this gas cargo, it will lose about 2-3% of gdp there, dear andreas. and you are probably the best suetologist who is engaged in particular and

problems of russia so, i would like to ask you to outline how strong the russian federation will be, taking into account the huge problems that exist in the russian economy, on the other hand, we understand that north korea, despite the colossal problems, still remains a stable autocratic regime, so there is nothing to eat. and there is a kalashnikov. примерно можно такие для россии it's not suitable. how , er, such a model, because of that, they still, over the last 30 years, er, felt there, what kind of freedom of comfortable hamburgers on the lips. and er, that's why i think it's still these sanctions with by each by the month they will increasingly cut incomes and jobs and prospects of the russian

economy . - to the west, but uh, uh, well, the point is that now we already need more, more, more sanctions, more decisive measures from uh, countries like germany, so far, this is not all the tools. thank you, thank you, dear professor and andrea sumlat, a well-known political scientist, a senior expert of the ukrainian institute of the future, worked on the live broadcast of the information and analytical marathon of the espresso channel. well, continuing the topic of energy, we will still be in touch with us in a few moments. andriy myzovets, the president of the association of gas traders of ukraine of the american

administration, is pleased to inform you. good news for the current former us administration officials say that the united states is continuously communicating to our military and political leadership about the location and time of russian air attacks, thanks to this, our leadership moves our air defense systems and aviation in time, so russian missiles in most cases, if you believe american sources, hit empty fields, according to which the spokesman of the national security council of the united states confirmed that the american administration shares operational information, fortunately for us, the fields arrive as we see, but this information points to a positive conclusion that early on the russian federation is happy and rejoices that, for example, in zaporizhzhia in

there was a missile attack on zaporizhzhia until the other day, they hit the huge arsenal of equipment and weapons that our partners are handing over to us. since we currently have quite a number of highly specialized military personnel working at the general staff, and now in particular, all orders are carried out by the same specialized specialists, so andriy mazovets to the president of the association of gas traders of ukraine with us on the link andriy, we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes we talked about the prospects of the energy embargo, of course, and about whether they would reach a consensus in europe at the expense of this, but today it happened as i find the situation quite interesting when the russian side reports that the austrian authorities allegedly agree to pay for gas in rubles, we are talking about the austrian energy company omvi, and here karl legamer, the chancellor of austria, noted that no, this does not

correspond to reality, we will continue to make payments in accordance with of current contracts , here is your opinion about what this story is about, i.e. in connection with what could such an information input from the russian federation happen, i will say even more for the information of bloomberg today already about 10 gazprom's counterparties have opened accounts in rubles and seem to be going to make payments in rubles, but if you dig a little deeper into this informative news, it will turn out that the source of information from bloomberg was one of gazprom's employees. therefore, you just need to separate the black from the white and necessarily er understand from whom this information comes again. we understand very well that in any case russia will try to a-

ah everyone the vast majority of european countries will still adhere to the contractual principles of paying in dollars or euros, respectively, just as the chancellor of austria confirmed today, mr. andrii. well, we understand that poland took and refused russian gas on the one hand, and on the other hand, the russian federation started triumphantly to beat their propaganda tambourines saying that they are left in poland without russian gas, and we understand that poland will not be the first and the last on this list, bulgaria is already joining it, it is absolutely true but it seems to me that the gas bar against russia was actually started by russia itself, er, and er, as for me,

the stoppage of gas supplies to poland and bulgaria. this is just a shot first in one leg, then in the other, er, poland prepared very well for such actions from the side of the previous partner, they have opportunities , first of all, the lg terminal, which is built and fully operational, they have completed and will soon launch the boltik paim gas pipeline, etc., they have the opportunity to extract natural gas from norwegian fields, and it is important to transport it to poland, so the balance gas in poland will be at least not in short supply and i even hope that some part of the gas will be surplus direction and this, too, i

think will not pose any problem for the supply, therefore the information bubble in russia continues to swell, but the impact on these two countries from the stoppage of the supply of russian gas absolutely there is no one there, well, at the christening it’s already a tip and this eye, i know what khrystyna would like to ask you about accordingly i will do it well, because, so to speak , who stood up first and the slippers so ukraine is in this big gas schedule so we understand that it is early or later we will be without russian gas, yes , due to many circumstances that can not be listed right now, so glory actually. do you already feel some palpable strategy on the part of our government? well

, because we have to prepare for serious things. there is no government, well, maybe in their defense, i will say that it is quite difficult to predict something in our situation, when events change not even every week, every day, or even if we see the clock from yesterday to today, the poor man on the gas front. but still, it seems to me that we need a strategic reserve that we can form and provide with the help of our friends in the western direction. i mean primarily poland with the capabilities of the lg terminal and possible additional volumes. i mean slovakia through which part of the gas is to be transported by pumping it into underground storages in order to pass the heating season of the next heating season without problems, again, we must not forget about the opportunities that our neighbor can arrange for a long time, but he

is moving well, let's say the closest, anyway, the prospects of rugby in russian in particular gasi, i mean, we understand how it goes and where it stops, where it is stored, in particular, and nevertheless , mr. andrii. from this crisis, our energy system for the future is obviously to bet on gas, well, it would be at least somewhat strange now, what we have to pedal on in the near future, maybe in the next years or even decades . if you compare the european program for the transition to green energy, then there is enough serious and quite significant changes have recently taken place because it was important for them to ensure a less painful

transition to green energy and they are used as a transitional fuel with less impact on the environment they chose gas, and that was half the trouble, but another huge problem is that they chose the russian federation as one of the main sources of gas, and the share of the russian federation has increased from a quarter to more than 40% over the past 10 years, if the brothers in the european union see why this an example in front of our eyes i think that we have to a-a in our er strategy to first of all emphasize our domestic production we have available reserves of natural gas we only need to er fully extract it but finances what should be calculated now, the technology of new players, for example, on the market, they asked andrii to do without khrystyna, they asked you

. ukraine has well, the first thing is that we have to win because there is no military time for us . unfortunately for the investor, they will not come, and the second thing is that, taking into account our warm relations with our partners, including this oceanic one of their just a huge experience in the field of natural gas. i think that the state should just open all the doors for them and provide the most favorable opportunities for us to become energy-dependent in the natural gas sector as soon as possible. this will be just another aspect of our movement in europe into a green tight energy system and as far as i don't know, it is problematic to extract the same shale gas well, we are not gas experts, and i think most of our tv viewers are actually all the fields in

ukraine, they are becoming quite depleted and new if the wells are put into operation, they are already put into operation using the latest technologies of tradition, which drilling is the latest, and so on. and so on. shale gas is one of the varieties in the principle of drilling. there is nothing extraordinary except for the experience that we need to acquire here. and this can only be welcomed. such taxes of technologies in the world and the possibility of their use in ukraine, i believe that this will be developed in our country and at a fairly high level, because we really have specialists and even more so there is an opportunity and desire in of young specialists to acquire such knowledge mr. andriy, this is one of the latest cases, which seems to me very interesting because it was just a crazy coincidence of circumstances already from the beginning of the full-scale invasion, there were several weeks when the air siren alarm sounded over the lviv region, in particular, and people from some places from the

lviv region began to signal that they heard an explosion - and then this is now open information , that is, i am not revealing any secrets now, the representatives of the regional military administration noted that these were non-explosions, this is actually the opening of the e-e deposit somehow, i don’t know how it happens technologically, but one way or another, lviv region and maybe even a part of the organization of ukraine can hope in the near future. well , we can really send russian gas in the direction of movement of a russian ship, that is, even during a war to do something like that is true , one hundred percent, the only question is that there are quite a lot of deposits that we are developing in ukraine , they are located in the same kharkiv oblast, poltava oblast, which is located unfortunately not far from the tatras of hostilities. therefore, er, this raises serious concerns, but on the other hand,

i want to say that well, this is also er, open data that our gas production fell by only 10% despite er, such vicissitudes of military operations , so i i applaud the gas workers. a huge thank you to those specialists who continue to repair damage to the gas networks, because they are really great people. and finally, i would like to clarify mr. andrii. technologies of some kind of deep shale drilling, but to do it quickly, for example. all of them have a time period of six months or four months, or are we talking about years, years, 2, 3, gas extraction is a rather slow business, and in our case, it is at least 1.5, if we work in a fast mode for years, and usually it is 2-3 years from

the moment of the decision to extract gas at this place to the industrial extraction of natural gas. thank you very much, mr. andrii, for this excellent analysis and optimistic on the air of the espresso tv channel andriy myzovets, the president of the association of gas traders of ukraine, worked for you dear tv viewers of the espresso tv channel, we have at least 13 minutes left until the end of this hour, and i plan to use them for a meaningful conversation related to dominoes no no no we will inform our tv viewers european commission attention proposed to cancel all tariffs and quotas on exports from ukraine to the eu for a year, great britain spoke again , the leadership is in their hands, the truth is that the european ones are catching up, but this is unprecedented an unprecedented gesture of support for the country in a state of

war and also provides for the suspension for one year of all eu anti-dumping and protective measures regarding the export of ukrainian steel. the eu has never before taken such unprecedented measures to liberalize trade, providing ukraine with zero tariffs and zero quotas for access to the eu market. this will directly help ukrainian manufacturers and exporters, as they fought for a trade zone with the european union, for all the goodies and, let's say , discounts, discounts, tension, first of all, our well, you see, if it weren't for grief and joy, maybe we wouldn't have, at least in some nuances, ihor kharchenko, a diplomat as deputy minister of foreign affairs, ex-extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine, in touch with us, igor. congratulations, i wish you a good ramstein to all of us. so, we

would like to have a good ramstein you ramsteined this problem on our live broadcast we understand that this is an unprecedented action since the second world war i would say what is probably unprecedented since the second world war during the iraqi e-e war a few years ago, there was probably a lot of anti-rakism, if you remember, the americans organized it, then we also had to take a political part in these events, but what is happening today happened in these last days, especially the meeting after the visit of the defense ministers of kyiv to the

american military base of rammstein in germany is a kind of previous wave, that is, a coalition of will, a coalition in support of ukraine that fights against modern evil, the quintessence of modern evil, and this is not me i'm making this up. i'm repeating more for the general public what the secretary of defense of the united states said in his opening statement. for those values ​​that are inherent in the civilized world that was established after the second world war on the edge of this conflict today in ukraine, and well, we wanted to

ask you about such a practical, if not applied moment, we understand that the russian the federation will now try to use the so- called transnistria for its strategic military purposes, so they would like to create a powerful military bridgehead there in order to use it, of course, in the south, in the southwestern direction, we are talking about odesa, we understand that this is the territory of moldova, at the same time, we understand that romania is also, of course, a powerful player, which, although until recently, was not distinguished by any tough initiatives in order to help ukraine defend its right to life in relation to the position of romania, eh, i have a good personal experience during my work in romania, we passed during my work as a special representative of ukraine on the

transnistrian settlement, i will tell you a strategic plan to create a gift to russia there due to many reasons that i do not want to talk about on the air, what is transnistria just look at the map and you will understand. yes, we understand it very well. on the other hand, we understand that they have destroyed the bridge across the lyman for a reason. we understand that they have the firepower of the black sea. fleet, and we understand that they could try to land there, thus causing one or another damage to our defenders, and then try to break through to transnistria by land , and there are not many kilometers there, you know. i will briefly say that transnistria is the first post-soviet

bloody conflict after the collapse of the soviet union, if anyone remembers, it was created just so that it seemed to explode today, how many years have passed, but for some reason it seems to me that i was really the last time there 10 years ago, but i don't think that much has changed in transnistria. i think that, taking into account the regional and world political trends that have developed in recent years, there are russian hopes that transnistria can be used precisely in in the sense that you say, they absolutely have a simple reason with me now, er, not only the world has changed after russia has already openly gone to war against ukraine, now regional

attitudes in eastern europe, including transnistria, have changed. how is that er i can talk for a long time about this enclave, which is quite specific, but again, briefly. the only thing that can be done now and russia is trying to do today is, let's say, divert attention from what is happening in ukraine to some new conflict , but that conflict is to unfreeze it now because 20 years. i'm not diplomatic. i'm talking about the guts of the tank now in the russian federation and the situation is absolutely not like that. the only thing that exists today in transnistria that we need to pay attention to, but we know and have this information

we have been working on it for a very long time. these are really gigantic weapons warehouses located on the territory of this transnistrian enclave , literally 3-4 km from the ukrainian border in the village of kovbasny. i saw how they store 37 mm ammunition there. and er, this is exactly around this, russia is now trying to play some kind of game to divert attention, it is not known why to do er, let's say, to thaw the conflict with transnistria, then they could take transnistria and recognize it, but they did recognize temporarily occupied donetsk luhansk well, i don't know khrystyna tikhonovych , well, the meaning of which was recognized, why would you turn to putin for help with the words, dear putin, there is an exit factor. it seems to me

, just looking at the map, i understood everything. transnistria is completely different and the plus is really here . it is important not to forget that transnistria has already created, so to speak, its own elite and smuggling over these years and decades. it is actually in plain language. right now it's fun to get involved in something because they 're busy. that's not bad. igor, we talk so much about transnistria here and we've started to forget where belarus was preparing an attack on me, and yet mr. lukashenko somewhere around easter or on easter , he softened his rhetoric a little and already says that they are turning to their neighbors let's live amicably directly leopold, all this is happening against the background of the fact that the main intelligence agency is publishing information that russia was allegedly gathering in the 20th

in any case, why should you be ready for an invasion of belarus if lukashenko loses his power there to suppress protests in particular? er, the limit of two chairs. you know it is not the business of diplomats to comment on the internal situation in other countries from the point of view of what is happening there in political life, but i will say in a general phrase that the time of authoritarian regimes in europe is running out at the end, this also applies to this sweet couple uh-uh-uh, muscovite belorussian, today there is practically no president in belarus, a legitimate one, this has to

be done. and for some reason i remembered, you know, i had to. the first visit was 3-4 days after lukashenko won the first elections, even then the democratic party forgot what year it was 94 - and one of our photographers who was in the field took a wonderful photo, we went to the presidential office lukashenka then, and instead of the weather, there is the hump of historical belarusian in the middle of this. there , the entire coat of arms that hung behind the president's desk was simply removed from the wall, and instead of the hump , lukashenka stood and this photo, look, how many years have passed, 25 years ago, and this is belarus today, 25 years since with lukashenka's coat of arms instead

of the national coat of arms, the time of these regimes is coming to an end and we have had such a historical fate that we, i will repeat myself on the whistle of this struggle and i think that i started with rammstein, it is very extremely powerful a political signal, i think things will go quickly, i think they understand it in minsk, that's where the attempt to sit on the four shooters comes from. i think they also understand it in moscow. it is here that the attempt is to throw something on fire on the southern flank, but the wheel of history, i think it is practically impossible to turn it in the other direction now in fact, as they say, everything will be rammstein and orkhatchenko, diplomat, ex-deputy minister of foreign affairs, former extraordinary plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine to many european countries
