so they will be directed to the needs of our agrarians, and the cost of all of them is approximately 15 billion hryvnias. for sure, this asset is very, very necessary for us, and it will be taken into the ownership of the state in a legal way and will work for ukraine for ukraine. this is key. thank you. thank you , mr. vadim, for the comprehensive the answer for this night conversation with us was vadym melnyk, director of the bureau of economic security of ukraine, missile strikes, hyped demand and new logistics, all this provoked a shortage of gasoline in ukraine, about it on the chairman of the verkhovna rada committee on energy and housing and communal services, andrii gerus, informed the briefing that, according to him, the situation will improve by the middle of may thanks to the establishment of fuel supplies from europe to ukraine, supplies are being made from european countries, and there are certain

logistical difficulties, firstly, with the availability of gasoline trucks , the second, with the presence of tanks with e-e in general, with logistics and the passage of e-e this transport to ukraine, that is, the adjustment process is underway because we understand that the market is actually being reformatted and the market is being reconfigured e and we expect that in the near future the market will probably settle down and deliveries from european countries will be much more rhythmic and which today is already being transported to ukraine, so it is expected that from the middle of may and in the second half of may the situation will improve and the situation will be more calm , including from the point of view of emotions and in these queues will come and it will be possible to fill up at gas stations calmly, the question of the purchase of

fuel for ukrainian nuclear power plants has already been resolved, when to wait for european sanctions against the russian energy industry and whether they will hit ukrainians, our colleague vadym kolodiychuk talked with the traitor of the minister of energy of ukraine, olena zerkal, and more lana zerkal, adviser to the minister of energy of ukraine, mrs. lano, joins our broadcast. good evening, i would like to start with the ban on the purchase of russian oil, the topic is very important we expect an embargo, but when do you think we can expect a significant reduction in russia's oil revenues, a significant reduction in russia's oil revenues will depend on how the markets will react to this oil embargo and whether the european union will really be able to introduce a single account to which funds from the sale of rural oil will be transferred and only in six months for oil and in 9

months for oil products, therefore it would be very important for us if the european union could already collect these funds and accumulate them on a special account and not to give the russians the opportunity to finance their military activities with funds from the european union, because now approximately 40% of the russian budget comes from the sale of energy carriers. and can russia quickly find alternative markets and sales because europe is looking for alternative sources and we see that in fact the results are quite successful in this matter, russia will be able to quickly find a replacement to knock down or will have to preserve all these sources, part of the sanctions is also aimed at to ban the sale of oil that enters the country by road and this will also lead to a significant reduction

in oil consumption by countries that receive oil with ships that are loaded from the european union and such countries as china will not be able to receive more russian oil, the only one that is increasing oil dependence on russia is india but they use very special conditions , these are discounts, and their discounts continue to grow, and this can lead to the fact that in the final in general, in the world oil market, we mean not only in russian. and how much can russian oil cost under such circumstances, in your opinion , because already now we see a significant reduction and many analysts say that it will continue to

fall because well, in fact, russia it is necessary to sell oil, but those who buy it, not shying away from sanctions, actually control the price of this oil. well, look at the cost of russian oil now, about $42. they are expensive oil value in the market just over $90. if they sell it with a 50% discount, then we will get what price we all understand, we count 45 e-e, then they price the oil at $42. how much do they earn from this oil? in other words , the total profit is 3 dollars. our goal is to make it so that they do not earn anything, and i think that this is not only our goal, it is a global goal in general. world leaders believe that russia should stop earning from fossil fuels, this is exactly what they

did . with the soviet union led to the collapse of the soviet union, we all know this from history and is the world and europe ready to live without russian energy carriers in the first place, because in general it seems that the world will have to learn to live without russia. europe has already recognized that russian energy carriers are weapons, so they refuse these weapons very consciously and learn accordingly to live without them energy carriers, they have already understood that they must learn to live without these energy carriers, because this creates a danger, first of all, for them and for the world as well, and we can already see how the position of countries like germany is changing, because just two months ago they were still talking were not prepared for the possibility of an oil bargo. and now they are ready to introduce an oil bargo even without any transition period, but

all countries have advanced so much in their understanding of the possibility of abandoning russian energy carriers and we already see that hungary , slovakia and the czech republic are now bargaining for themselves the transition period, which will be much longer than that of other countries, well, now the deadlines for most of europe until the end of this year and a number of countries until the end of the 23rd are being announced. how realistic is this, or are the deadlines somewhat all countries except the czech republic , slovakia and hungary can move forward. they will give up oil in six months and oil products in nine months. and as for these three countries , they are now talking about giving up by the end of the 23rd year, but they really expect that this will not happen what will happen is that the world will return to the

previous life and that they will be able to continue to enjoy special contracts with the russian federation and how will this affect ukraine because we are already seeing a deficit of petroleum products, it should be resolved in the near future, the government assures us, but many people have calculated that gasoline prices in ukraine can be equal to, for example, polish ones, which is logical, because we are currently taking from there just for auto products, what will happen to prices in general, or will there be a shortage of fuel in ukraine and how much it costs, we understand with you that the current shortage of fuel is connected with the fact that ukrainian production stopped functioning in connection with the shelling and destruction caused by the missiles of the russian federation and in addition in addition, they destroyed a lot of fuel reserves and this led to a shortage on the market. in fact, we are now

buying abroad and supplying from different parts of ukraine to ukraine, this creates a certain tension in the european market, because they also had to find reserves for us, which they provide us now and we are very grateful for this and prices in europe have increased even without this, diesel and gasoline in europe already cost more than two dollars at the same time in hungary, which receives oil from the friendship pipeline, prices continue to remain at the level of 1.35, that is, what is our reference point for ukrainians price lists of electricity for ukrainians, price lists for ukrainians are set by the ukrainian government, the formula for calculating prices at gas stations is approved accordingly, and it depends on

the government’s decision. it is clear what the situation is with gas , because also in the context of refusing russian energy carriers, we have a contract with by gazprom, and how much gas are we currently pumping into our storages? are we actually preparing for the next heating season? we do not have a contract with gazprom for non- supply of gas. we provide gas transit to of the european union in the amount of up to 40 billion cubic meters , as far as gas in ukrainian schools is concerned, there is much more of it left than we calculated , the connections with the fact that the use of gas in general has fallen, and for the next heating season, we see that consumption has decreased by 30%, and therefore ukrainian koryn production and ukrainian reserves should

be enough for the next season, so we are not so dependent on the availability of gas on the market, but i know that naftogaz continues to search for possible sources of gas supply to ukraine. and this is also connected with the policy of the european union, which now requires countries to store gas in gas storage facilities at the level of 90%, and we offer european countries to store gas in ukrainian storage facilities despite the war and despite all the circumstances surrounding ukraine. that is, we can say that despite the crisis caused by the war, the volume of enterprises of big business 30% minus they can just be blocked, well, more precisely - 30% of gas consumption, we will have a slight deficit of this

gas and we can block it for quite a long time and finding a quick alternative to ukrainian e-e ukrainian production will be enough to provide consumers in view of the drop in consumption and in view of the fact that we lost a lot of objects that consumed a lot of gas, that is, businesses that consumed chaos, this is of course a very sad story but in in this case, we are in a more attractive position than the rest of europe, which is now forced to swim because of very high prices. ivan ivanovich, the next question is our nuclear energy. and we, too, were largely dependent on of the russian federation, how will the government act in the near future and is the issue of procurement resolved by purchasing fuel for ukrainian npps? well, we

have already deliberately worked to diversify fuel for ukrainian nuclear power plants, and even before the war, 50% was supplied to the westing house company, which loaded its fuel fuel e- in the reactors and we have taken a rather important step, we have stockpiled fuel that will last for two years, i.e. 100% will provide the next two years vesting house will have enough russian fuel enough for two years ago, we do not have any problem with the fact that we are worried that the russians will not supply something or something else because we have reserves for two years and then we will switch completely to fuel from westen house and here is an important issue for

ukrainians consumers because we have joined the european electricity market, what will happen to the prices, the prices are set by the ukrainian regulator, joining the european electricity network does not affect the prices because we are now really synchronized with the european network together with to become part of the european union market, we will still need some time and work in order to fully integrate into the european market, but in any case, the prices are set by the ukrainian regulator, and the export of ukrainian electricity began before the european union , it began in a very limited mode, this is actually only one line is currently working, talk about the start of exports, we will be able to when we receive permission

for a commercial connection and we are currently working on it and we hope that by the end of the year we will be able to to report on the first profits from the export of electricity and these volumes will increase. i understand correctly. of course, these volumes will increase. there are many conditions that we must comply with. we must create certain technical prerequisites. we must create certain commercial prerequisites . on which depends the success of our export and the possibility of its expansion is clear ms. elena thank you for taking the time to join our broadcast chat mirror, the adviser to the minister of energy of ukraine was with us well , meanwhile, ukraine is launching a global initiative united-ventiphone. this was announced by the president

of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi, the first component of which is an online platform for raising funds to support ukraine, you can do it in one click and from any which country in the world will the money go to help the ukrainian army with civilians, as well as the restoration of our cities, we will hear the details, all the transferred funds are immediately sent to the accounts of the national bank of ukraine, secured by the corresponding fundraising reports by ministries will be updated every 24 hours every contribution counts for victory donate to protect donate to save donate to rebuild and britain will provide another 45 million pounds to help vulnerable ukrainians thus the full package of uk humanitarian aid for ukraine is already 220 millions of pounds of money will be sent to charities and un agencies that work to support those affected by the war,

in particular refugees, pregnant women and children this money will be sent to neighboring countries that help ukrainian immigrants minus one more yacht belonging to another russian oligarch. at the request of the us, the authorities of fiji confiscated a yacht belonging to the russian oligarch under sanctions suleiman ukrimov , this is stated on the website of the us ministry of justice. meters and it costs 300 million dollars, the yacht was confiscated on the basis of a possible violation of us law, including cases of money laundering, prosecutor general marie gerland said, quoting this decision, you should understand that there is no place to hide the assets of people who violate us laws and there is no place to hide the assets of criminals who contribute to

the russian regime. in just one day, a set of various news and messages was received, from the yachts confiscated at the request of washington to the estates of russian oligarchs to the investigation of military the crimes of the russians in ukraine and new decisions regarding the energy sector, and we will talk about all this now live with our colleague dmytro manopchenko , he is joining us from the state department of the united states of america. huts of oligarchs, what exactly was arrested? well, look, you have already started to tell a little, uh, really, but it’s not only the yacht today. that is, it is being discussed in the ministry of finance and in the state department today there is a lot of talk about exactly this, because the americans have a huge catch, first of all, it is like vasyl ivan kirimova, he

is a businessman, an oligarch, and even more, and even more importantly, a senator of the russian state duma. well, you remember that the ministry of finance is raining introduced sanctions absolutely against the entire state duma absolutely against all members of the state duma well, here is the result well, look how it was, what i hear here is that he in fiji still wanted it to stand, the representatives of the ministry appealed the justice system of the united states did not have enough of this, then there was the decision of the district of columbia court. well, then the fbi agents came, worked with the authorities of this country of these islands, and there was an arrest, but that is not all. even today, the arrest of the hut , let's say yes, the hut on the vine the coast near nice belongs to mykhailo friedny, also a russian businessman, a russian oligarch. well, look, he made money there, but he rented it out. yes, the rich are not only crying, but also renting out their cottages for €18,000 in a few days, and now

the americans turned to european financial structures too but everything was arrested well, what can we say that it is not only there that the oligarchs have to cry that their property was arrested, now in the presidential package is precisely the decision that provides that it is possible that everything that is arrested can be confiscated and in the future transferred to ukraine colleagues, can we, on our part, advise the law enforcement officers, the judicial system , to pay attention to the cleaning lady of the oligarchs, there may also be interesting stories there, dmytro, as far as i i understand, the american security forces are ready to help not only in this, but also with the investigation of war crimes, they are all on the territory of ukraine, the truth is the truth, today there was a meeting with mary kagarland , the attorney general of the united states, and as usual, the united states is led by australia and new zealand. well, you can say what kind of set of countries is so strange, in fact there is nothing strange, it is an

intelligence alliance called the five eyes, not much is said about it, but the alliance is very strong and now these five eyes have joined another pair of eyes, this time, and i think this is the first time, they invited the prosecutor general of ukraine, iryna venediktova, also participated in the conversation, and for the most part, the conversation was precisely about the exchange of intelligence, but if it already concerns the general prosecutor's office about the investigation of war crimes, and as far as i know, the united states is very they do a lot for this, and there is a special group of former prosecutors, current prosecutors, they are not on the territory of ukraine for security reasons, but they are nearby. well, they told me unofficially even about poland and they are absolutely vkontakte with ukrainian prosecutors who are engaged in the investigation of war crimes, what is important here is that the united states and ukraine have not yet decided to which international court or authority they will apply, but it is important to record it so that it meets international standards , and this is exactly what the united states is helping now dimu let's talk about energy. the states have already

given up on russian energy carriers. it seems that the united states administration is now ready for additional steps. it's true. do you remember this? there was such a desperate step, a serious step, the united states completely refused to buy russian energy carriers, and it was not only about naftogaz, but it was also about hard coal , and today there were hearings in the synod committee on environmental resources and energy, and the congressmen of the minister deserved it uh, the energy of the united states is already jennifer greg holm and what we heard from her is such a small sensation, you know, she announced that the united states is preparing to abandon the russian uranium is currently used for american nuclear power plants, it is used as fuel, the united states cannot immediately give it up in one day, but grenkom said that first of all, a whole plan is being prepared, how to notice it all. well, and secondly, she said the words of the quote that i wanted i would like to

tell you now, she said: we should not pay money in russia either for energy sources or for anything else. by the way, today there are a lot of headlines about the conversation of joseph biden with, in particular, the german chancellor. scholzem ah yes, do you even know what exactly this conversation was about and whether they talked about ukraine? well, you know, they didn't just talk about ukraine. they only talked about ukraine. this conversation was mostly devoted to ukraine , military aid, political aid, financial aid, that is should have discussed all this, but there is one very important point here, i understand that the diplomats , after hearing this and seeing the celizach well, will bring the ministry of foreign affairs there to their presidents, but i would also like you and the audience tell so that it does not go unnoticed, you know, in the final shooting of the white house, based on the

results of this conversation, biden and that these are very important words, and both presidents said that they do not recognize the legitimacy of any international documents or agreements that would provide for ukraine's rejection of its territorial integrity and sovereignty. well, look what they have in mind , there is also such a very transparent hint that russia, if it wants to, plans to conclude some kind of peace agreement that stipulates that ukraine will give up part of its territory or sovereignty over donetsk and luhansk regions, even in those borders that existed before the war, that is, there were talks about it, experts talked about it, and you see today, both the american and german presidents said that they would never recognize the legitimacy of such an agreement, and this is very powerful and very a clear signal from dim, we know that today the state department of the united states responded to russia's threats, saying that they consider any nato vehicles with weapons for ukraine as a target for

themselves. please tell us more about the reaction the state department on this, but yes, it is true, when journalists gathered here at the state department at lunch today, everyone was waiting for what they would say in response to, well, you know the direct threats of russia, or do you remember what the minister of defense of the federation said here about the fact that any vehicle that drives the territory of ukraine at the moment when he crosses the border, a weapon for ukraine, he can be a target for the russian federation. well, today everyone wanted to hear precisely the comment that the spokesperson of the state department made against price, and he answered, but he did not answer directly, i will explain what i mean, he did not i wanted to enter into a direct discussion. and what he said. okay, i will comment on him. i will comment on his words. that is, it will not be such an absentee discussion. i will tell you how everything is happening now. well, according to me, first of all, the united states provided yes, they provide weapons to ukraine, and secondly, the project said that it does not

see any problems and there are no problems with the transportation of these military cargoes with the deployment of those weapons for ukraine. well, and thirdly , he said that on the contrary, the united states increases aid and it helps, this aid will not only be military, today it was announced that 386 million dollars of humanitarian aid will be allocated and there will be an additional package from the e-e agency of the usa and the united states agency for international development, that is, on a large scale. see how the united states is responding to this not such rhetoric , someone said something, there is another statement, then something will be heard from moscow. well, they respond with actions, and you know it, so it is important. dima. thank you for this conversation . dmytro anopchenko from washington was with us on direct connection with all the latest news. well, we want to thank all our viewers who were with the tv channel during these six hours. i'm glad in the future the broadcast continues the broadcast of the general

drone for his birthday, but instead of having fun with a new toy, six-year-old david bulak from sumy region made an adult decision without hesitation. he asked to give the dream gift to the ukrainian military, they we are protected, the ukrainians explained to their parents, a nation of heroes, russia purposefully destroys agricultural machinery, destroys enterprises, steals food supplies and creates a food crisis in ukraine, but we will not starve because we owners on their land, the all-ukrainian initiative of victory gardens is our answer to the occupiers, every ukrainian, every community should grow their own victory garden in the garden, in the country, and even on the balcony, our task is to gather and feed our families, support ukrainians in the destroyed

territories and all those who protect us today front garden is important for victory, our enemy is waging war not only in the air on land and in the sea, he fights with us in messengers on websites and even in personal conversations we are attacked with fake news photos and videos, trust only the only news and official sources before reposting or relaying information, make sure it is reliable together we are strong together we will win ukraine no glory no
