it in a van that was brought from england, these people from completely different walks of life were brought together by ukraine. they work for their own money and do not want to give their names to the youngest member of the team. 21 she is a professional dog trainer and has completed courses in first aid for evacuation. we very attentive to everything that is happening and there were only a few moments when we felt safe no matter how big the threat was we also understand that we are ready and that our team is reliable this world is far from her parents' house in sassyx and her career in technology everything in her previous life her work now here her family knows exactly what she

is going through during the second world war her grandmother was also forced to flee to the important because we are all europeans to us when he lived in great britain, then he took care of cattle on a farm in cornelius and never thought that he would end up here in the war zone in the east of ukraine. good question for the organizations. i didn't think we would be useful in this role, but we are ukrainians, we are needed now. and it seems they like what we do. in an ideal world, our work would be useless , but the world is not such equality. they brought anastasia to the station in pokrovsk for to take it out of the east, this is the reality now, those who survived the second world war are again experiencing a new war

the first punishment in response to the cathedral in kyiv on may 27, which started the movement towards independence, cenotes of the russian orthodox church, this is happening against the background of bloody battles at the front and the constant death of ukrainians from the shelling and attacks of the russian army. the decision of the russian orthodox church and what awaits the ukrainian church will be told by the correspondent of pbc news ukraine vitaly chervonenko today's decision of the synod of the russian orthodox church the churches testify that there they take the beginning of the year of the ukrainian orthodox church to autocephaly very seriously, and the council of may 27 is also taken very seriously there, and they do not want it to be

a sham . did not dare to do it for 8 years, and this shows that there they saw serious trends and movements in ukrainian orthodoxy, also today the synod of the russian orthodox church actually supported those bishops and priests in the ukrainian orthodox church who do not want to comply with the decision of the council of may 27 and do not want to comply with the new statute of the ukrainian orthodox church, which no longer mentions the russian orthodox church's subordination to the russian orthodox church, this may indicate that difficult times may await the ukrainian orthodox church perhaps even a certain split, because as interlocutors in the leadership of the uoc say, the majority of bishops and priests there want to continue the movement of two autocephalies, and therefore what about the moscow part much smaller. it can lead to a certain split and this

will create serious problems for the unity of the church . bbc interlocutors in the ukrainian orthodox church also said that they expected from the russian orthodox church, perhaps even the annexation of the donbas dioceses of the uoc, but so far this has not happened and there it was perceived as a positive signal, however the situation with crimea is considered a rather wrong step on the part of moscow, but it also sees a certain positive in this, because in the previous 8 years, when the russian military was blessed in crimea, it was precisely to the ukrainian orthodox church, and from now on , there will be no more claims to it, because these three dioceses will be directly subordinated to moscow . russia destroyed the second largest ukrainian grain terminal in the city of mykolaiv, the supreme representative of the european union for

foreign affairs and security policy jozep borel said this a few days ago, the russians hit the seaport in mykolaiv with missiles, they hit warehouses and grain, according to jose borel, this attack will further deepen the global food crisis crisis, and putin called disinformation and denial of his guilt cynical not only because the role requires russia to end the so-called grain blockade on the eve of the european council chairman charles michel accused russia of food blackmail of the whole world, according to him, moscow is bombing ukrainian now the reservoir does not allow grain to be sown, steals it and is trying to use the food crisis as a weapon of war in ukrainian ports blocked by russia , millions of tons of agricultural products are stored, president zelenskyy named the number 22 million, they are waiting in the countries of africa and the middle east, russia declared that it will unblock the ports only in exchange for the lifting of sanctions on

food blackmail from russia and about possible solutions to the problem, let's talk with us now on direct communication, executive director of the economic discussion club oleg penzin p olezhe so russia's war against ukraine is already caused almost catastrophic changes in the world food market. this is not the first attack on a grain terminal in ukraine. russia does not stop. which countries in the world can be threatened with hunger because of such the development of events, well, good day, look at the reality of world markets of agricultural products, they are quite closely connected, if there is a shortage in one of the markets, then objectively, the price on all adjacent markets automatically rises at the moment ukraine its agricultural products feed 400 million people in northern africa

, the middle east, southeast asia, and china. in fact, there are countries where the share of ukrainian grain is extremely high. well, for example, in egypt, the share of ukrainian grain is 30-35%. undoubtedly, the blockade of the ukrainian ports by the russians led to the fact that this grain did not reach the traditional markets and the price of grain for them has already jumped from 50 to 70%, and in some countries we even heard about the presence of hungry homes and the price of them actually jumped much more. this situation is extremely critical. why? because the price increase on the world grain market leads to the fact that, according to the actual price increase, people will starve this year, according to the united nations . maybe one and 7 billion people in the world

there is such a criterion of food security as the financial availability of food products, you have grain and bread may be on the shelves, but the price for it will be such that you will not be able to pay for it today, this is the situation today and the world is waiting for communication with the blocking of the black sea ports and the impossibility of exporting 22 million tons of honey to our traditional honey markets in ukraine, in particular, the international media are discussing how to solve this problem right now, in particular, they are discussing the possible diplomatic blockade of ukrainian ports with the participation of turkey in relation to this, how realistic is it in your opinion? well, look, the situation is that ukraine was not invited to the talks between russia and turkey, that is, at the moment there are official statements from the president and the minister of foreign affairs that they are not invited to those talks and it must be

understood that this issue will not be resolved without ukraine. ukraine has repeatedly raised the issue of security guarantees in the case of unblocking the ports so that the russian armed forces and the russian navy do not invade the water area of ​​our ports and the landing party actually landed in mykolaiv and odesa, so guarantees are absolutely necessary. we heard from mr. president zelensky that one such guarantee could be the provision of appropriate weapons to ukraine that would completely unlock those ports without any additional conditions. okay and one more question specifically regarding the situation in ukraine, what is the situation on the ukrainian market , that is, not with grain, but with other foods, with other products, will ukraine be able to provide itself with them?

no, look, ukraine is a large agrarian country well, when you and i are talking about grains, ukraine collects 72 million tons, that's without oilseeds, in order to feed ourselves in ukraine, we need 18-19 million tons, we have an export potential of 52-53 million e-e, well, look. before the war, we exported some order 30 22 left when we talk to you about oil ukraine every year produces about six and a half million tons of oil, the domestic market is 450,500,000 tons, 92% of the oil produced in the countries of the sport, therefore, in reality , the agricultural potential of ukraine is only great because it is suitable for feeding i already said 400 eh million people outside the borders of ukraine, at the moment there is absolutely no shortage of any type of food in ukraine, ukraine is in a position to fully provide for itself, but ukraine also cares

about the whole world, and it is definitely necessary to harvest this crop, because if this is not done in september, in october, ukraine will in ukraine, about 70 million tons of grain will already be accumulated, because we are talking about the fact that ukraine has planted itself and will definitely harvest in the territories that are currently not occupied, and this harvest will be enough in order to feed those countries and where we traditionally export our grain to. thank you, mr. olezh, a separate issue is actually the prices of food products in ukraine, we will talk about it further. ways to safely export grain from ukraine in order to avoid food shortages in the world, he also stated that germany, which is one of the most important sponsors of ukraine in

terms of the military, is only inferior to the united states hands her large quantities of ammunition , armored vehicles, state-of-the-art howitzers, and noted that the ukrainian military is now learning to use all these weapons in germany. these statements were made in vilnius at a joint press conference of the german chancellor with the president of lithuania and the prime ministers of estonia and latvia, with details natalka skovenko in in vilnius, the leaders of four countries gathered under one roof, there were no representatives of ukraine, but she herself was in the epicenter of attention, they discussed how to help ukraine and strengthen security of the region bordering the aggressor country, lithuanian president gitana snouseda said that russia's war in ukraine changed the world. i was faced with a new reality, a reality in which the aggressor russia attacked the sovereign state of ukraine and began to brutally

destroy the ukrainian people. for the sovereignty and independence of ukraine and for the future of europe, there is no doubt that the military threat of russia will not disappear and will constantly pose a threat to the entire euro-atlantic region, they said here primarily about strengthening nato's eastern flank in the face of russia's aggressive policy. german chancellor olafsholz, who is visiting a nato country bordering russia for the first time at the beginning of the war in ukraine, promised to strengthen the german military presence and expand the contingent of the bundessphere. we are committed to protecting every centimeter of the alliance countries. we plan to increase our contribution to strengthening of nato's eastern flank we will create a strong contingent and will work in this direction, prime minister of estonia k kallas said that in times of a new war in europe the countries of the contingent began to increase their

defense spending and share weapons with ukraine, ukraine needs the help of the whole free world, it needs weapons for defense, russia recognized that estonia, like other countries, provides such assistance to ukraine, ukraine should also be given the opportunity to join the european union, this will be a signal for ukraine that europe is in solidarity with it, the meeting participants emphasized the need to strengthen support for ukraine by all possible military , economic and political means until ukraine will not win the war, an important message that is urged to be sent as soon as possible is granting ukraine the status of an eu candidate country, for which the prime minister of latvia spoke out with a closed nose we need to support ukraine and there are many ways, first of all, this is the provision of weapons and ammunition, we must continue

to provide as well as humanitarian and financial aid to ukraine, all that it needs now, it is important to support it politically and grant it the status of an eu candidate country due to russia's war in ukraine, the countries of europe were faced with a new security situation and now they are developing a new strategy for defense and aid to ukraine and also about events abroad which, however, can have a great impact on the situation in ukraine boris johnson will retain the position of prime minister of britain, he won in a secret vote on the basis of distrust became the genes of a part of the conservatives, that is, his own party, due to the violation of the quarantine regime on downing street at the height of the epidemic, in order to retain johnson's position, it was necessary to get half plus one vote of the representatives of his party in the name of support, i.e. at least 180 votes of the prime minister

supported by 211 deputies, 148 were to try now the supporter of ukraine and a lobbyist for aid to kyiv peresajunson and a guarantee that for a whole year the parliament will not vote for the vote of no confidence, but what political damage did it cause him, we will talk about it with my colleague tetyana kharchenko. she is with us on communication so, tanya, can you explain what are the options for the development of events after yesterday's vote of no confidence in the prime minister so, the vote of no confidence in boris johnson was, on the one hand, expected and because the media has been writing about this scandal with parties on the old street since christmas last year, and on the other hand, it is also unexpected because this weekend the united kingdom celebrated on a large scale here on the streets, there were literally parades and various events to celebrate the 70th anniversary

the administration of queen elizabeth ii, and already on monday , the prime minister of the country was waiting for such an unpleasant procedure that no politician would surely want to go through, but johnson struggled, he had to go through it, and the attitude towards this vote was ambiguous as well as his figure, that is, on the one hand, the british were of course disappointed by the actions of their prime minister, because at a time when they could not be with their relatives during the coronavirus pandemic, parties were held at a distance, and also european and partners great britain and european countries watched with shock what was happening inside the country with this political scandal, which dealt a rather strong blow to the government and to boris johnson personally, although he was also in office during this time of the prime minister and especially during the beginning of the large-scale invasion showed that he was one of the leaders in providing weapons to ukraine, which needed them so much and in some sense even

set the tone for the united states of america in this regard, and that is why there were such hesitations before with this vote, but even before the vote, it was also clear that he would most likely win, and they probably even had a samburish. johnson did not expect that the level of trust in him would be so low, but after all, every fourth out of 10 of his of the parliamentarians, he basically said, hmm, what is wrong with johnson, he is not a suitable person to be the leader of the party, and here johnson helps, except for the fact that he has some such definite conspiracy against him with an alternative leader who could replace him, and for another year, as you pointed out, zhanna there will be a vote, although his opponents, who tried to do this, are already trying to change these terms, and it is obvious that the brown johnson has been through it for him, and he immediately declared that now it is necessary to turn this page, this is probably what he would most like turn it over and forget it a-a but as a rule

, british prime ministers did not remain historically , they remained in their positions for a long time after such votes of no confidence in them took place tanya, can i clarify er-er, that is, there is a certainty that boris johnson will resign himself and it will happen sooner than you can imagine any prime minister who could hold on to his position after such a thing, but it is well and they give examples what , for example, may's thesis in 2018, after the vote took place, she resigned six months later, classic british politicians such as margaret thatcher or john mason major , i'm sorry, they resigned after such votes took place, but god, jeans is not a classic politician in this sense, and he has already repeatedly proven that he does not adhere to certain political norms and sets its own rules from time to time, so there may be

several options for the development of events if he does not resign. if the vote does not take place before then, his party a-a will be able to hold on, for example, until the next election general elections that will take place in 2024, and then if he is not removed by then and if he cannot regain the trust of the voters, most likely the party will lose, and it should also be taken into account that he does not have an easy task with the voters, since the economic situation in britain is currently difficult also, the economy was asking enough in march of this year, and the risk of the session is very big, prices are biting, so johnson will work extremely hard to restore this trust, but the positive news for ukraine is that he is like the prime minister of britain, who actively supported ukraine, remains in his position, and therefore at least this political course will most likely remain unchanged. thank you very much, thank you, ma'am. it

was bbc correspondent tetyana kharchenko, we were talking about whether boris johnson has support in his own country. while in ukraine he is undeniably one of the most popular western politicians, and let's return to the situation in ukraine today, the deadline for ukrainian schoolchildren to confirm whether they will take the graduation exam is ending test and where exactly this year, instead of external independent assessment, there will be a national multi-subject test, this is a simplified analogue of external independent testing, my colleague , bbc correspondent victoria prysetska, knows more. one of us is in touch with the same. congratulations, do you know exactly how many graduates will take part in the test and where it will take place in the conditions of war. congratulations zhanna, indeed this year the external independent testing takes place in a simplified procedure, as the ministry of education said, and instead of three or

of four exams, which applicants usually took in the new years, there will be only one, and besides, this test will be held in several sessions, the main session will be in july, there will also be a session in august, and applicants will have the last opportunity to take the test this year in september, actually today is the day when the opportunity to confirm your participation in the main session will end. and as the organizers say , almost 220,000 entrants have registered for the main session. it is interesting that 27,000 of them will take the test in two dozen european countries confirmed that they are ready to organize temporary examination centers for ukrainian applicants. and according to the organizers, the largest number of graduates registered in ukrainian territory in kyiv, lviv and dnipro, as well as in odesa and vinnytsia . and abroad, the most popular cities for taking the test were berlin and munich, warsaw and

also prague zhanna and could you please explain in more detail how this national multi-subject test will be held this year, and how it will happen if you approach the situation differently from what was in peacetime and the test will consist of three subjects: the ukrainian language, mathematics and history , they are given two hours, the participants must complete 60 test tasks, the history of ukraine was not mandatory for admission in the past two years, but this year the ministry decided that this subject is fundamentally important during the war, although the test has been somewhat simplified and the periods of history cover the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century, and the testing will take place in special examination centers and due to the possibility aerial trikes, it will not be held on the same

day and at the same time, as was usually the case, entrants will have at least 10 days to take the test in each session, if the entrant cannot physically come to the test today he will be able to do it on another day but it is clear that the task options each time will be different, each testing center will necessarily have a shelter, as the organizers say, if during the exam an air leak occurs, the test will be suspended and its participants will move to a safe place. thank you, summer alone we have a small clarification in just a few seconds . that is, entrants from non-controlled territory will be able to pass this test, they will be able to pass it only if they move to a government-controlled territory. unfortunately, the ministry of education is also currently considering the possibility of remote admission . all the details are for a better understanding of how exactly it can be done this year, and this is
