before the naval war, the enemy had time to equip positions with copper explosive devices , including this house, which is an example. this is what brings russian peace, the kremlin said that they are ready to provide a corridor for the export of ukrainian grain in exchange for the lifting of sanctions, the state russian news agency reports in particular, with reference to the deputy minister of foreign affairs of russian affairs, andrii rudenko, during the last weeks, almost all world organizations are calling on russia to unblock ukrainian ports for the export of ukrainian grain, if this does not happen, many countries in the world are at risk of starvation , the un says that the russian federation uses the issue of

food as a weapon, the european commission states about russia's actions in the waters of the black sea sea ​​and azov my colleagues from crimea realia asked the representative of the gur ministry of defense vadym skibytskyi, they became cautious, but what do they provide the naval group, unfortunately, currently provides full control of the sea of ​​azov, and this is clear, including the kerch strait, and they are now blocking our ports on the black sea, their goal is very much the same - to inflict economic losses on us in order to prevent the ports from functioning as economic zones allow the movement of goods both on the territory of ukraine and from the territory of our parties and maintain the readiness to use the same large amphibious ships in other ships in the event carrying out a naval amphibious operation, but again

, i will say that our actions forced them to limit the activities of the black sea fleet for today. returning to the topic of grain exports , 22 million tons of grain are currently stuck in ukrainian ports. volodymyr zelenskyi announced this the other day, and even if russia signs some the guarantee of the unhindered passage of grain from ukraine does not mean that this corridor will be provided , stated the head of the ministry of foreign affairs dmytro kuleba during the ukrainian breakfast, kuleba managed at the same time expressed doubts that nato could help solve the problem by force. contact us taras vysotskyi, first deputy minister of agrarian policy and food of ukraine. we congratulate you. well, 22 million tons of grain is quite a lot. it is realistic to export all of this by land. for example, by rail to europe, and further through european ports, we really had a record rotan last year

in the history of ukraine, so far 22 million ato are inside alternative ways, and this is first of all by railway e-e through the countries of eastern europe, motor transport and river bases through the danube , it seems to be exporting up to one and a half million tons in the city at the moment, we understand that it will take us more than a year by all routes to export only last year's harvest, in a few weeks this year's harvest will begin, everything after all, without unblocking the ports and by other means, it is impossible to physically withdraw such volumes if some countries of the world are really threatened by famine due to the impossibility of exporting grain from ukraine, can this happen? how do you do you think that russia will make concessions, remove some sanctions from it in exchange for providing this very

corridor for the transportation of ukrainian grain , in fact, the russians are not, they are not unreliable and they are not partners and they do not keep any of their promises in the part of our war, therefore, to go to some agreements from the point of view of them and mitigation, it is very risky, it is unlikely that there will be a result, after all, we turn to the international organizations of the un, others support what it should be, where the blocking of ports and this or uh thanks to the victory of our state in this war or deputation in a military way can again be the provision of a against the ship's corresponding installations of the military that we are asking about which the conversation is about or a-a military escorts in

international practice there is such an experience when e-e cargoes are civilian cargoes first for everything with food is accompanied by a military escort, for example, along the coast of somalia or there in north korea, after all, this will be a more reliable way and i am sure that we will be able to export than to trust the promises of the russian federation, well, continuing this on the subject of lifting sanctions, the news just appeared that the minister of defense of great britain rejected the idea of ​​lifting sanctions from russia in exchange for the unblocking of grain in the black sea ports. solving this issue, then who can help ukraine to unblock the ports by force, which is not the level of some unions or countries, a decision must be made if we are nato as a military alliance, there are other

possibilities, these disputes can be developed as humanitarian at the un also has such experience, and for the un they can provide their warships for escort , in fact, any countries, not necessarily nato members, import, therefore, various options can be considered , including importing countries that depend on ukrainian dynamo could join there may be several options for such an initiative, but it is still important that some of them take place, it is exports from ukraine, and above all, for the import and food supply of ukraine, importers stocks and reserves are being completed. they usually they were up to three months, we have had a war going on for three months already, several weeks and reserves in countries that do not grow new ones that were historically related, just finish if no one solves this issue, no one will help and grain will not be

supplied for export, what will happen to this grain, what will happen storage we have a reserve of time, and under the right conditions, grain can be stored for up to 2-3 years, that is, it will only be a year now, in the summer, in the fall, from the point of view of our products, we can, well, there is time. similarly from our point of view internal food security, there are enough volumes, first of all, what will happen will be increasing hunger and social riots or unrest in countries where a large number of the population depends on this import, for a large number of the population, the poor can not afford to buy because the prices are also for their 30- 40%, that is, it will be an increase in such social and economic development, we will come back, but you say that from the point of view of food

security, ukraine has nothing to worry about, but there is occupied kherson region, i already hear it in the posts, see it, read it in social networks about the fact that there is actually an increase in the price of products in ukraine, and people complain about this and some products, there are simply no fruits or vegetables that may have appeared from the kherson region at this time. what will happen to ukrainian food security? is everything like that? it will be good, colleagues. well, if we are talking about the availability of products in the temporarily occupied territories, then we are ready to deliver there, but the occupiers do not allow us to open any green or humanitarian corridor, so i divided it into two parts here, the first one is about food security for temporarily complete territories, so occupied territories are talking about the territory that is currently under the control of ukrainians on the territory of our part, it is necessary to understand that

food security in the conditions of martial law is basic products well, food security cannot include 50 items. if we are talking about basic products, then problems with the physical availability of basic products in our country, the government's solution has been determined, it is bread, flour, cereals, pasta, sugar , sunflower oil, meat products, dairy products potato products, there is no problem with this, there is no action, there is a certain increase in the price of the inflationary hryvnia, it is primarily related to the cost of fuel, that is, the logistics component, we can see how much it has increased, but on other issues, domestic production is enough, i understand you. and more and more often there are confirmations that russia steals ukrainian grain, for example, the current human rights commissioner, lyudmila denisova, reported that , for example, she takes

grain from berdyansk to crimea in wagons and then to russia and eats the day before published satellite images of russian ships loading grain. please tell me if we have any idea how much ukrainian grain russia could have already taken out of ukraine, how much more it will export, what russia is doing with this grain. are you tracking this in some way, maybe it is selling it to third countries, please, in fact, there is there is information from the temporary full territories that about 400,000 tons of grain have been stolen, as we can see and understand the register of elevators , he will give him information from there, what happens next with this stolen grain is really in including the satellite, the videographers confirm that it is loaded on the ship first of all in crimea, and then they try to implement it in other countries, partners such as ukraine, with which we have connections, which are truly international partners, which egypt or

ivan do not refuse. of course, all the others countries that are critical and refuse to buy such grain. therefore, only the pictures confirm that this grain is sent to such gray countries with substations that support the russian federation , such as syria, and the question is whether to implement it there i understood you. thank you very much taras vysotskyi, first deputy minister of agrarian policy and food of ukraine, we talked about ukrainian grain, in particular, thank you, the conversations about the exchange of mariupol defenders are premature, deputy head of the russian foreign ministry andriy rudenko stated that, in his opinion, exchange issues will be considered after the court orders i will remind you of the verdicts, the russian ministry of defense declares that 2,439 ukrainian soldiers have surrendered as prisoners

and does not rule out that they will appear before a russian court, the official kyiv reports that the operation is ongoing from the rescue of the mariupol garrison and assures that there will be an exchange in the meantime. almost 500 families of the defenders of mariupol have created an association of families. the organization will check and disseminate information about the condition and conditions of detention of the soldiers who left the territory of the plant and are currently in occupied donetsk region. radio liberty correspondent taras levchenko met with the wives of the defenders. mariupol, he spoke with the wife of the commander of the azov regiment denys prokopenko and the wife of the soldier arseniy fedusyuk, their story about their men of the azov regiment and the situation that developed in azovstal further my name is kateryna prokopenko my husband is denys prokopenko, he is the commander of the azov regiment, he cannot

show any weakness, any fragility. you know, don't offend any bugs, he's a philologist at all. he studied at kyiv university, he was an english teacher in the 14th year. the war had just started, as soon as russia attacked ukraine. he felt that he had to be there, right? was, let's say, in this fan movement , fans of f-dynamo, they are generally brave guys, they are many of them, just one of them just decided to go to the east, so it turned out that the season began my name is yulia fedosyuk my husband, arseniy fedosyuk, serves in the azov regiment, it is located in the east i have been in the war continuously since 2014. i have a husband in mariupol, my brother is also fighting in azov, but he is fighting in kyiv, that is, he took part in the battles for irpin because he was wounded and there was a day when i found out that my brother was wounded and i did not have there was no information about the husband, and it

was difficult emotionally, our last meeting was on february 14, on valentine's day. i was in mariupol, er , the day before that, there was a large-scale vyshkov in mariupol, where azov gathered all the people, civilians from mariupol, taught them how to react to various large-scale actions on the part of russia, how to collect the same alarming suitcase on february 24, two explosions in kyiv, my heart is already pounding immediately literally a minute later, i call dan, i woke him up . it turns out that i was the first to inform him about the beginning of the war, you know, all these months i didn't allow myself to spill, i didn't allow myself to cry somehow, again i look at the man , how strong he is. when we went to see the pope and in italy, we had an italian program and the journalist, the presenter, asked us the

following question asked how much they had left, and then all of us girls broke down and we all cried very hard, and about the myths, uh, around the azov regiment, for example, the main equal of ukraine, he appealed to the israeli knesset with a request to evacuate the entire garrison in mariupol, and again after all, this is such a powerful counterargument to all kinds of stories about nazism and so on. in addition to this , one of the largest lgbt organizations in ukraine is ukraine pride, they supported it publicly. the war, we constantly talked, er, not such short topics . how are you, er

? a lot of wounded soldiers and a lot of cool officers were killed in just one moment and he answered somehow like this, i already understood what he felt, imagine what horror and pain he hinted about evacuation that this was the only method, the only way. after all , it is important for him so that the personnel was alive and everyone already understood that every day the russians were intensifying the assault, the enemy already had all the data on who is where the concentration of soldiers in these bunkers and they were already spot-on, specially finishing him off, he called from an unknown number the conversation was literally 30 seconds and he asked how i was doing. i tried to ask how he was doing, but the connection was very bad, so we don't have any information, what

are the actual conditions, because the only media there is now is from the russian side, the world community should first of all don't forget don't forget the fighters have stopped working on the negotiations accordingly so that they return as soon as possible to the maneuver with weapons, camouflage and moving through the forest, this is what yesterday's sellers, engineers and construction workers are taught in odesa, the training of members of the local teroborony, who and how they train, mykhailo shtekel saw in turns, the automatic discharger disconnected the store, the control descent to the side , line, line, if we had a combined combination of tactics and fire training in order for the conditions to be as close as possible to combat, then here is combat shooting and the use of combat

ammunition and the implementation of some tactical maneuver, territorial defense fighters are not professional soldiers, they are civilians in most cases without combat experience, as yesterday they worked in some civilian specialty, and today they hold a machine gun in their hands, that is why we are entrusted with such an important mission, you know, and it is necessary to take such a more specific approach to their training , that is, in the shortest possible time, to make a combat-ready unit, well, figuratively speaking, from civilians, i worked as a sales consultant in a store , i sat at home on a sunday, i thought about leaving go but after that, when i saw what was happening in the country, i really felt like worrying about my country is really difficult for me somewhere, it might be more difficult than a person who has two hands.

there is no idea either and there is no idea of ​​such a thing in my brothers, if we do something, we do it unitedly and i also participate in this, in this business, too , after training, everything becomes much easier . i had no experience before the war , i did not do military service in the army, and the soldiers never held weapons in their hands. at the moment, the patrolling of the forest belt with the detection of the enemy and defeating his intelligence is

working. a person must feel who is walking in front and who is walking behind, because the lives of his comrades depend on it. if a person wants to, he will learn and understand very quickly from the first time, and it will not be necessary to practice two, three, or five times, we pass on our combat experience is that people learn . people listen carefully to everything. they understand what is happening. why are they all motivated to learn and everyone has the same goal? i was a minister of the church for 21 hours of pastoral work. пошёл до теробороны библия, so that we could resist evil, if evil comes into our life, we must protect ourselves from it. in the european union,

the property of russian oligarchs is frozen for 10 billion euros. houses, apartments, yachts. the european commission proposes to confiscate frozen russian assets in order to use them to restore ukraine. how realistic is this? zoryana stepanenko explored a luxurious super yacht as long as one and a half football fields with a swimming pool, a cinema and helipads on board, all this wealth estimated at 700 million dollars the russian opposition and the american media attributed it to vladimir putin personally. and now they can be taken away. the yacht was detained when it sailed away from the shores of the eu, as well as dozens of other vessels associated with an influential russian politician. now the european union is thinking about how to implement the confiscation operation so that russia literally

pays for what she did in ukraine in which according to the calculations of the ministry of finance, a day of war costs at least 10 billion dollars 15 days of war ukraine will be able to compensate only thanks to the good that russian businessmen, officials, propagandists all over the world, and now due to sanctions, their yachts, villas , companies are already under arrest, property worth 150 billion dollars is said in the president's office, another 350 billion are assets of the central bank, which in the west were frozen immediately after the invasion, and more money in those areas, if we are talking about the funds of the oligarchs, then come to us every day information is received about their additional assets that are found on the territory of the european union , that is, this amount is increasing and there is at least the political will in our country to transfer this money for the post-war reconstruction of ukraine, i think it is a matter of time for the russians money is frozen on the territory of the eu lithuania, latvia , estonia and slovakia demand to confiscate and

hand over to the post-war reconstruction of ukraine in the country affected by unprecedented russian aggression , a modern marshall plan is needed, similar to the one used to rebuild europe after the second world war, now europe is contributing to the reconstruction of ukraine, providing unprecedented macro-finances, looking for donors but here there is no doubt that efforts must be made and to blame ladies and gentlemen, we must move every stone out of place and we must involve all opportunities, in particular if possible the russian assets that we froze, and whether this is possible, the european commission has yet to figure out , first of all, at the level of the finance ministers with whom the baltic countries and slovakia presented their initiative, experts say that an impeccable procedure is needed so that russia does not later win back its money in the courts, however, in the brussels expert environment, first of all, they are worried if there was political will, there are countries in the eu that willingly

support such an option. but there are those that are quite reserved about the idea of ​​confiscating russian assets , even as i do not see that all the members of the european union were on one wave in this regard and it should be understood that russia will not miss the opportunity to intervene politically in the process so that the money taken by the european union from the russians ends up in the hands of ukrainians, the consent of all europeans is needed once without exception, one is enough to block the decision, as happened with the oil barge, which has not yet been implemented due to reluctance of hungary, and the transfer of seized assets to ukraine may run into the berlin wall, the head of the ministry of finance there says about significant legal obstacles , such as the inviolability of private property due to laws of the eu in particular and of russia, i expect that there will be discussions, but in the end i am confident that we will reach this decision and this concentration means that i

think that the european commission will receive support from the countries of the european union, in the end, there is a way to this what a very long month for the debate, years for the implementation of the procedure until the russian money reaches the ukrainians, such forecasts of european policy awards due to the war, ukraine has already lost 650 billion dollars , the president's office calculated and these are direct losses i.e. destruction, if you count the lost investments , the amount is generally sky-high, they say about a trillion dollars and the losses are increasing, because the war continues. during the occupation of buch by the army of the russian federation, a resident of the city, iryna abramova, lost her husband, her house burned down, generously, the russian military killed her husband right in front of her eyes, her wife was already able to bury him only after the liberation of kyiv oblast. now she lives with a relative because the house was completely burned down and her

story continues. i abramova iryna was born and lived in this house for 48 years until they came i took the russians together with my husband, i think the housekeeper was a man working, well, there was a brawler working in our unit, a terrible explosion went through the windows and doors of the house, the man was on his knees with his hands raised in the door and fell out of the door. don't shoot, leave with your hands raised, we left . i'm a father, a man. our house is already on fire. why don't you come out? let's say it's

scary. you're shooting. well, don't you see ? one of mine took the iron structure here, and the house started to burn heavily, black smoke, the man left without permission, he even went to the yard to extinguish the house , the father followed him, when the man came here, the father then said that they did not even give him, they immediately took his clothes they stripped him outside, took him out on a wheelbarrow, put him in the head with a machine gun, shot

him. when i got out, his heart must have been beating, because blood was coming out of his ear so much, but they were sitting opposite, drinking water, the father came out, he told me to take it, the old man said, take it, your daughter, take it away otherwise we would be shot, we turned into an alley and went to hrushevsky street, there the father remembered that he had acquaintances and we were there for a whole month until they left. here the man had a workshop , and there was an older woman with a bed, all kinds of dishes

, and here he had all kinds of tools. he loved wood, whatever his name was, he was oleg, he was 40 years old, he had a hobby, he bought a motorcycle. watch more such stories on the radio freedom ukraine channel, we record the stories of those who survived and the stories of those who died in this war. well, i encourage you to subscribe to the pages of radio freedom and until tomorrow the war in ukraine is the main topic for ukrainians victories and losses analysis and forecasts politics and geopolitics serhiy rudenko and the guests of his
