degtyarenko said, in particular, in zhytomyr region, an official was detained who was collecting for the examination of rashits. and in kharkiv region, the sbu took prisoner 11 enemy snipers from the kherson region single-handedly evacuated more than 2,000 people. this was reported by the kherson regional state administration of 2,100 residents of visokopill arkhangelskyi and knyazivka on foot and on their own transport, they left for the dnipropetrovsk region, who remained in need of evacuation and humanitarian aid, meanwhile, luhansk region has electricity again, the head of the regional military administration, serhiy gaidai, reported that high-voltage lines were cut off the day before by artillery fire, so the occupiers left about 30,000 consumers of north donetsk lysychansk mountain and popasnya communities without electricity for now power outages in 38 settlements of luhansk region, at the same time the russians

are destroying water infrastructure facilities posted a video on the network showing how they are destroying the production facilities of the popasnya district of the vodokanal, if anyone has any need, tell them to contact their leaders of the military-civilian administrations, do we have generators or additional small and medium-sized electricity, this will be enough to ensure for a certain time, you will be supplied with electricity so that you can recharge some phones or flashlights there. i don't know what to do or maybe connect something there, where to cook something. storm it in several directions at once. the head of the military-civilian administration of the city, oleksandr stryuk, told about this. at the same time, according to him, such a situation does not motivate citizens to leave, on the contrary, the rate of evacuation to north donetsk has

decreased . about 15,000 people remain in the city, meanwhile, the russians continue to shell kharkiv and the region, the invaders opened fire three times with multiple rocket launchers and they came under enemy fire twice with artillery shevchenkivsky district of kyiv and south saltivka it was also hot in zolochiv chuguevo vinovoy and dergachy on the outskirts of periwinkle there are dead and wounded among the civilian population we are losing peace to the civilian population unfortunately two people died this is a 15-year-old child in the city of kharkiv and there is a man in the city of lozova. in addition, we have eight people who were injured. they are now receiving all the necessary medical assistance in our hospitals, this indicates that on

on the streets, you are still a-a without general needs, it is too early and too dangerous, that is why ukraine has updated the average cost of fuel, according to which the maximum price at gas stations is determined, according to the information of the ministry of economy, gasoline at gas stations can be sold for almost uah 38 per liter, diesel is uah 43, our film crew today i checked the price of fuel in the capital, queuing at gas stations and analyzed what will happen on the market next. what is happening now in kyiv with fuel problems ? now, at the moment, the time is an hour in the queue in the capital . fuel is still relatively low at this gas station , you can only buy diesel, it is not in short supply in kyiv, there are real problems with gasoline , kennen maksym, the owner of a food store,

delivers products with his own car, so he traveled 45 km without fuel the day before in search of gasoline, it is available in gas stations at one gas station, i managed to find gas , they say everywhere, without exaggeration, that the queues are kilometers long . how come today you arrived at half past 7, seriously , it turns out that you are already standing well, i am here for 1.4 hours yesterday i stood for four hours and ran out of fuel at this very place. so this is the second event and it is normal. i will fill up soon. therefore, everything is normal. drivers in long queues understand the situation and promise to endure, because the war led to a shortage of fuel, according to experts, for several reasons, these are targeted rockets strikes by the russian occupiers on more than 20 of our oil depots just on easter, they attacked the kremenchug oil refinery for the second time with a capacity of more than 18 million tons of fuel, more than does not work at least until the end of the year, it was in

poltava region that the kremenchug oil refinery, the most powerful domestic source of fuel, was actually destroyed. additional difficulties arise due to the fact that russia is blocking our seaports. a certain time, 1-2 weeks, says the government - number time, three-quarters of ukraine's oil products were either imported from russia to belarus or had russian origin. well, that's it it is impossible to get rid of this dependence quickly, the issue of providing oil products was put on the government's agenda only a week ago, this is to reduce the price of fuel for ukrainians, the government canceled excise tax , reduced value added tax from 20 to seven percent, also temporarily suspended business inspections such as gas stations and product quality control

now the price, depending on the region and the company, ranges from 40 to 45 uah per liter of gasoline and diesel, the latter is a little cheaper, the amount of fuel we had three weeks ago and the amount of fuel which is today, it hasn’t changed, it’s just the number of motorists who want to refuel has changed , we won’t have a worsening of the situation, it’s possible that there will be a slightly tense situation somewhere else during the week, and an improvement is expected in mid-may because the resource, which is a contracted resource , will arrive soon, however, the price per letter they will somewhere be the same as in the european union now. what do you think in europe? for example, for one gallon of fuel, they pay more than uah 60 per ticket, so someone

may have to look for alternative sources of fuel valeriya pashko andriy verstyuk of the espresso tv channel in kyiv it is strictly forbidden to visit forests and adjacent lanes, as well as drive there by vehicle, and the kmda warns that as a result of hostilities, explosive objects may remain there, these are risks not only for citizens, but also for rescuers who have to extinguish fires in the event of due to unforeseen situations in the kyiv region, in brovary , the activities of the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate were suspended, according to the mayor of the city ihor sapozhko the decision adopted by the city council introduces a special regime of work for churches subordinate to moscow, in particular, it is forbidden to hold meetings, rallies, religious marches and any other mass events, at the same time, the city will take the buildings of the churches under protection, such a ban will be in effect until the end of the

would like to ask, you know, maybe this is not really a political question, it is more of a philosophical one. and how has it changed now what has changed in the heads of the germans. we have seen cautious steps, we understand the consequences of the second world war, we understand the reluctance of the germans to argue with moscow in any way . and something is changing in society, some kind of attitude towards all historical events, the attitude towards russia, special, specific, which the germans have always had in the german establishment, or does it seem so to me, or do the germans have some other thoughts ? i would say so on the subject of this entire history and the present and today, has something changed, in your opinion, mykola, the war has changed everything, well

, you have them in germany first of all, but also the doctrine. germany stands with the ukrainians and already in 2014 side by side, we are your strongest no, bastard , for the last 8 years, you rightly said that hmm, germany has always had the idea that we must have normal relations with russia well, because of the history, well, because it is a big uh, a big geographical country m-m and c europe but it seems to me that on february 24, almost everyone understood that there is nothing wrong with russia. how is she

doing today? how is her leadership boring ? too, and you see what is now, what is the change regarding the supply of weapons. i think that the support of society has always been, well, private, for all its very close relations, no, but now it is more well-known, more, hmm, it is also visible through, for example, the supply of weapons tell me, please, it is possible to assume that after after yesterday's conversation between the presidents of germany and ukraine, this incident with president steinmeier not coming to kyiv is over and now the german leaders will be able to visit the ukrainian capital without all these, i would say, voluminous accents

. i think that we have left this story behind us, we want in the future, let's look at the copper, we will do it now, there will be visits by high-ranking officials very soon, well, in kyiv, hmm, and hmm, and then we will see who else will come, but i am sure that now our normal diplomatic cooperation continues. tell me please, if we talk about the situation with this cooperation today, the federal chancellor said that putin should not win this war and he will not win it, this is today's quote from the speech of the federal chancellor at one of the events in hamburg, and now it arises the question is kanster-scholz speaks about it with confidence british prime minister johnson spoke about it but

how to make sure that putin does not win this war because putin in turn is not going to retreat see it this was discussed today with vitaliy, there was no victory. how it looks like there will be no ukrainian flag over the yellow-blue kremlin. and what is meant by victory, what does biden-scholtz think, uh, johnson and so on, is there any understanding of the victory over russia, how is it physically looked well, you can not look for victory, but you are the one who outlined this one, i will not win it, whatever it is, putin won the war, so where is this one, sometimes we say he lost, he did not win, where is this moment, where is this starting point, i think there are two, everything that is russian well, the troops must leave the territories where they have not been since february 24 with full-scale

aggression. borders this is full donbas - this is crimea and ukraine, we must get back all these territories ah, but still. as far as i understand, i apologize for the tautology of understanding. how can it be done so far in europe? i think that in ukraine there is no full movement except just troops will enter and the stage of war will begin as soon as the reconquest of donbass and crimea, but we do not yet see any other options, maybe there is something in german diplomacy that should be done to renew ukraine's control of the central authorities over what

was stolen in the 14th year, well, let's start from the first we are now all our partners supplying these weapons to ukraine and i think that there will be modern e-e weapons modern weapons e-e mm to strengthen the ukrainian armed forces no so that they can defend not only defend no we russian troops but we expel them no there from those regions where where did they go? they didn't go after february 24th. it's uh, that weapon is the second aspect - it's really an economic sanction. the purpose of these sanctions is not sanctions for the sake of sanctions. the goal is to make the russian economy uh, well, fall to such a level. that they

could no longer finance the civil war in ukraine, that they simply do not have the money for this anymore, tell me about the reality of the introduction of an oil and gas barge for germany, what it means for the german economy, how ready are you for this, realistically, we are ready for sure, you saw it, uh, our minister of economy, not economics, often talked about it, but we really are the most industrialized country in europe, in the eu, and it won't be easy. we have from russia, well, it was, it seems to me, almost immediately from the coal mine, there will be steps away from oil

now and yes, we also have a plan to get out of dependence on russian gas, and see if berlin has an interest in officially helping ukraine to become a candidate e- e members of the european union i mean you can to count on kyiv that berlin will influence, for example, budapest or vienna, that is, the austrians, who already say that we are hesitating here, the hungarians say we are hesitating, then german diplomacy can facilitate some negotiations and, as it were, persuade, persuade to help ukraine so that there is a united front that will help for ukraine to become a candidate for membership of the european community. let me

first say what i have always been saying in my interviews for several years. personally, as a friend of ukraine, i am sure that ukraine will be a member of the european union. this is my personal opinion. well, i have been working in ukraine for a long time, and i am hmm, and i really hope that our leaders are now, it seems to me, every day they are talking about it, know here, hmm, the consensus of the european union. unity, which is based on consensus, we are there, and it sometimes takes longer than we all want, and sometimes it is really not easy, but those solutions that we did not reach in brussels, in the european union, they are such reliable and stable

solutions, that is, we can count on them and we have them there is still time to discuss these issues well, i know different there opinions, we are waiting now, the opinion of the european commission is not there, and then there will be the last stage, as if for the leaders of the countries of the european union, ukraine, the members of the european union there . but as i said, the war really changed everything. it and i think that the war will always be in our heads the leaders, whenever they talk about it, they would be scared by a fake migration crisis that could start in europe as a result of this war, and we were really very afraid of millions of people who are forced to move to other countries, we remember the lessons of previous migration patterns, let's say when there was a war in syria and this led not even to a migration crisis, but to a

serious political crisis in several european countries in germany. you also remember this perfectly. why do you think a political or migration crisis did not happen now? i thought that we were a little more prepared for this . i was still there for several months, and all international organizations and embassies wrote that there would be somewhere around 10 million refugees if there was a full-scale war on the part of russia, but there are also other components. i think that it is a fact that ukrainians do not need visas to go to the shenin area, it made it much easier, they could just come there, wait a little for

security and then think about what they want, if you look at the official numbers of refugees in the eu, the impression is that it is in our cities and i now in poland, but i was in germany and everywhere they speak ukrainian, that is, the impression is that there are much more than the official numbers, but i think that some of them were able to register because they really believe that it will be longer and from this registration, they can also look for a job right away. and you know, ukrainians are very highly qualified, well, many of them now speak other languages ​​perfectly, because their families have sometimes already been to other countries. that is, it is easier for them than other refugees to set up in in our

countries. i have a lot of stories from our local colleagues from the embassy who also left ukraine after the next russian one, and very few of them quickly found work in germany. that is, they are different from other refugees. come on, i would like to ask one last question, if possible, but we have learned that soon, literally these days, mrs. bervak, the head of the ministry of foreign affairs of germany, is to arrive in kyiv , and this is a very important visit. she can speak directly with your leadership, so as not to directly learn something about the needs of ukraine, how can we continue to

support ukraine even more, surely you know these directly and conversations - it is always better to understand the interlocutor. they always called dmytro koleb and analina bevok and other ministers, but it is better to do it directly to really be in a position and in their position. this is the first thing. i think that she has such topics as for example violence um uh uh um on gender uh uh how uh hmm i don't know how it is no change dwaylands i think that this will be one point she wants well uh well just focus people's attention on these terrible

crimes and i really hope that she will be visit our embassy, ​​which will be opened again, i hope. i don't know yet. well, let's congratulate your colleagues in kyiv, because you know the german embassy architecturally - it is the dominant center for us, and when it works, it means that life is getting better and there is often very good german beer. i love it so much when people invite me. but i hope we will win the war quickly. ivanka will be invited to the embassy again not only for beer but also for political talks. thank you very much. thank you. you see. congratulations, we were with you 25 years ago. even so, anka became an ambassador. it is certainly wonderful because this career is wonderful. when a person is not in

different situations, i would say different opportunities if a person benefited from his countries of journalism in diplomacy are so wonderful. in general, she is really a friend of a ukrainian - it is obvious and she has worked here for a long time. then she worked again, now as an ambassador. she works just fine. well, what are we going to answer the questions, we can already answer the questions. let's try with the fact that we have several leading countries in the world who made a statement that they do not support any peace agreement that would mean ukraine losing its territory. does this mean that zelensky is preparing to lease sevastopol to ukrainian territory for a certain period of time? i do n't understand at all. where you have seen this statement by president zelenskyi in the diplomatic sphere, the president said that his first goal, where the war can be stopped, is the withdrawal of russian troops from ukraine to their positions, and by february 24, 2022, the withdrawal is not the same

that they are getting out of the way, that at the negotiating table it is agreed that they will leave by themselves, and then the negotiations continue about what will happen to the territories occupied in 2014, this is the position of the president, it is like that, i don’t think that for president putin, what do you want to know about my opinion , are there any positions on february 24, 2022 for president putin crimea exists donetsk and luhansk people's republics exist within the borders of donetsk luhansk oblasts ironically came to this it does not exist kherson oblast exists which he also wants to win back and make some there either a part of the crimea or the people or well, i think it is rather a part even of the crimea yes it may be so, that is, it is not known that because there is no water in the crimea without it, they have already understood that they do not get the crimea without occupying the beauties and here there are different positions in putin and zelensky, but it is not surprising that they have different positions. president zelensky wants to stop the war, but it is not

coming. putin wants to continue the video. well, what is not clear, if you want to know my opinion, i do not think that there will be any peace agreement at all. i agree with italy, this time i want to say that and what are you called to do? this is a question. i think that you need to give yourself an account so that this is a very difficult task for everyone, for this world, it is not for zelensky, it is also for his father. president zelensky said that it is necessary to postpone postpone for 15 years it is not something to delay , but to talk about the future of crimea for 15 years without recognizing it as russian. it was also at the first stage of the negotiations, but people from the ukrainian army are showing so-so so-so. we will see how it ends. this is not the question now, but only it depends on the diplomatic position, but we know that for president putin there is no 15 years, he has crimea - this is russia. he will never talk about it. that is, he can only talk when russian troops
