previously seen in the occupied crimea about the grain front my colleagues olesya nitsevich and nazar long had a long conversation with the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine in lebanon igor ostash, the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine joins our broadcast good evening we are from ukraine yes, we are all from ukraine and our ukrainian grain is the same, but you always know that we have the opportunity not to sell, but to win back and this is not literally, not figuratively , literally, i am talking about the situation of the vessel, which means the syrian one, which in the end, according to the decision of the court in the lebanese were still released. how do you comment on this story, because earlier i will remind you that the proposals of the ukrainian side were such that, well , it was proposed to buy this grain there at some moderate prices, but still the ship left

lebanon. why did this happen? well, you know , i will start from the first time since it was a real grain front it was very difficult we lived a whole week in a state of war with sleepless nights with threats and pressure and we managed to detain the ship for the first time for 144 hours then we managed to open for the first time criminal and civil proceedings against this vessel it was also very important next we managed to get a lot of evidence and the most important thing is to get inside and take samples and barley and the most important thing is that we also saw the sacks of flour and that was the most important thing that we saw today er confirmation that this is really stolen grain and flour from ukraine because this grain was produced in crimea at the elevator of the red guard, which means that it is

ukrainian flour and what's more, we also found testimony and tracking of trucks that took grain from berdyansk to er krasnoy gvardiysk, where it was ground, and this will really help us in the future very seriously er to work already within the framework of a possibly wider er lawsuit against the russian federation indeed, we fought to the end and of course did everything possible in order to keep this in court for as long as possible. today, unexpectedly, after lunch, the judge who made the preliminary decision on two detention decisions was not suddenly unexpected, but under enormous political pressure, he made a decision about the release of the ship and about the reversal of the cancellation of the previous decisions and now it will obviously

sail at night to syria sails as usual thieves steal at night you know about it shamefully with inglorious escape from lebanon because in fact they planned to hunt and make a serious business of selling eh on millions of dollars of stolen flour and grain, but they didn't succeed, at least here we have a very serious precedent when we showed the whole world, with these evidence of satellite images, about their stay in feodosia. although they are for this was declared as part of the shipment to the caucasus, and of course they showed with these photos, with a picture of this bag of flour, that the russians are really stealing our grain, stealing our wheat, and today my press conference at 12:00 for journalists would have been

broadcast by more than 15 cameras, even on the air itself, because the beasts and it is very important for us because a certain president has really been created who will show other ships with a painful grain that we can give a decent fight back and we can do everything possible to detain the ship and try to to recover this grain through a court order, mr. yuryu . please tell me. speaking in a generalized context, what is the need of the world in ukrainian ozernia and how important is it for this export to take place ? years, and this can really lead to famine if exports are blocked, so more than 450 million inhabitants of the planet depend on ukrainian grain, and especially this region, our region of the middle east and the region of africa, and of course, now we have a very serious

crisis in lebanon, there is not enough bread, there is not enough grain , and here we feel this situation very well on our own skin and we are doing everything possible to help lebanon, in fact, how do you know this first ship that sailed from odessa and now it is already in istanbul, it will sail further to lebanon and to the same is the port of tripoli where this lebanese ship that will sail is still standing in this syrian ship that will sail in the way of the russian warship and it is clear that we are already doing with good will because it is 26,000 tons of corn for ivan and in addition we also we are trying to help lebanon by an alternative route through the danube ports via izmail er through reni already er er six ukrainian ships have

come by this rather difficult route from zenith izmail to lebanon one more question er er quite important can you about er er well this situation to express his point of view regarding the contracts with egypt, because the russian narrative of fake information was such that he allegedly refused to cooperate with ukraine and in general in the future yes, but the ukrainian chamber of commerce and industry they noted that only from one delivery from one contract, but in the future there was cooperation with the ukrainian side both on grain and on possible sunflowers on other crops corn, i also have a question whether, in principle, today, from your point of view, there are grounds for countries in later they refused ukrainian products in favor of, let's say, russian. of course, this agreement was actually a conversation about force majeure circumstances and it only touched on the fact that it was not possible to fulfill those agreements, that's why they were

canceled is absolutely normal normal business practice that applies to cases of so -called force majeure as to whether they will be able to refuse ukrainian grain unequivocally no because the needs are huge and the region really understands very well what is happening now in odesa perfectly understands what is happening in ukraine and this is really for us also a very important argument in the conversation with the politicians of different countries, because we actually understand that the russians use food grain as a weapon , hunger as a weapon, countries should not be blackmailed they are trying to do everything possible to cause panic in order to create certain emigration flows, let's say to europe, but luckily, we have this corridor from odesa unblocked now, it is very

important, we also have an understanding of the countries of the region and africa, the middle east, regarding the needs, and we know that politically now and especially our ministry of foreign affairs is in focus and keeps or even prioritizes and keeps right now the african region and the region of the middle east, you know that recently a special representative was appointed to the countries africa, the middle east, maxim soup, and this means that we are really trying to communicate now and focus on very problematic regions where the war with russia is still interpreted in different ways, but our position is always to comply with our obligations to supply from grain, it will always be a very serious political argument mr. yurii well, regarding the support of the country you represent

, where do you currently represent ukrainian interests? what else is being discussed? dollars for support and to solve the problem of the shortage of grain warehouses in ukraine, so the excitement here is really a very serious problem and not very recently the world bank allocated 150 million dollars to lebanon for the purchase of grain and this means that obviously a large part of this grain lebanon will buy from ukraine, we have a collection of very good business relations with lebanon, possibly because we also have a lot of them. more than 12,000 graduates of ukrainian universities are lebanese who studied with us. many of them are very good businessmen. so, in principle, we are now keeping our finger on the pulse and trying to do everything possible so that lebanon has

bread, and this obviously also affects our political relations, and we are working to ensure that lebanon, as a country that is the first in the arab world and the only in the ara world, the e-e condemned the russian aggression, condemned the russian attack on ukraine, so that it does not experience problems with the supply of food, mr. yury, we thank you very much, thank you for your work, thank you for your position that you represent in lebanon, we we hope that will be the case. i mean your thesis about recognizing russia as a state of terrorism. thank you very much. ihor ostash, extraordinary plenipotentiary of ukraine , joined our broadcast. the single news marathon continues and we continue and we do continue. i congratulate everyone on the beginning of the new day. moving forward , the united states supported the entry of finland and sweden into nato, the majority

of the members of the senate voted for it, now the resolutions must be signed by president joe biden, after that, the document was sent to the nato headquarters, the entry of two scandinavian countries to the alliance must be supported by all 30 members of the organization. if this happens, it will be the most significant expansion of the north atlantic alliance since the 90s of the last century, directly in connection with the studio of igor petrenko - political scientist igor wanted to joke well, although actually this joke can be called old because the fact of the accession of finland and sweden to nato, it is obvious that this is actually what the head of the russian federation sought, i mean in quotes , were there still fears if he decided on ukraine to attack and to defend in this way, well, it's great, the heat is actually really, you remember literally before the war of the russian federation, it became the ultimatums of the west, the ultimatums of nato and talked about the fact that ryabkov then told that you should get on the border of 1997 what does it mean that we are

so strong and powerful here, we rattled our weapons and in the end you are wonderful. you also probably remember putin's first approach to the press after the relevant decision was made that uh well, it was already clear that finland would become a member of nato uh and he barely restraining himself, he began to talk about the fact that, well, we do not have conflicts with these countries, so if they want, let them join, but in fact this is a serious, very geopolitical slap by the russian federation, and the window of opportunity for this was created by ukraine itself, in fact, because, well, we broke them about the second army of the world, e.e., russia has weakened in all directions, geopolitically, in fact, they have lost everything, the only thing that remains is the nuclear weapons they possess, and in the energy sector , its prospects are very foggy in the sector to be as a partner there, for example, for china or for

other countries, it is also very vague or even almost did not come true, here we will focus, after all, on the fact that russia succeeds and you will tell what consequences this will have, let's say in turkey, the first nuclear power plant is being built from rosatom's submission yes. that is, these are contracts with iran for 40 billion dollars, they also concluded contracts that there will be natural gas exploration there and export gas pipelines will be developed directly, let's look further. egypt is also building the first nuclear power plant i have a question about the power plant. first of all, can we be sure, although it is too early? we are so clear. can we be sure that it will be a peaceful atom ? look, if we are talking about energy , the construction of a nuclear power plant is actually in the

world, there are two companies that are engaged in this, this is the whole table of house well, in fact, the international company ierosatom is, therefore, it is absolutely not surprising that ierosatom he is present in the respective countries, especially wounded, well, it is agreed with you that you will imagine that you will build something in iran, a country that is recognized as a sponsor of terrorism as well as the russian federation in relation to peaceful and non- peaceful. things and about the loss of control over e-e means the zaporizhzhia power plant, which is the loss of control from the side. from the moment of the occupation of the zaporizhzhia npp, from those statements that he carefully monitors, i do not understand what kind of guarantor the

store is today, i can only see that it is very much playing with russia, and this is definitely obvious to me, definitely look, it would be worth it, well, look but after this statement, which is about the loss control , then, well, there should be appropriate consequences, but in fact, it is still a very bad signal directly for the russian federation, and i think that we will move even faster to the issue of recognizing its country as a sponsor of terrorism, which has been talked about for a long time calls on the appropriate, what our president is constantly talking about and the mcfaley group is appropriate for the fair and what already well, let's say, you know, is lying on the table and right on fire for anthony blinkin and for the u.s. department of state, who should make the final decision. yes, i thank you, i have to say goodbye to you, ihor petrenko, a political scientist, was in direct contact with us. wake up together with the national marathon. a new day has begun. we will rebuild before we launch

. iron the holy ukrainian land but instead of fear and despair, they will see only their death in our eyes, ukrainian soldiers will pay for every drop of our materials, they will take the enemy to hell , and our comrades from the state emergency service, rescuers, fire fighters , pyrotechnics, will help demining, dismantle rubble, bring the city back to life and the town despite no shelling, no fatigue, and the darkness will die. we will win with posts in the middle of the free world. new prosperous, happy and invincible ukraine! currently

they are preparing a technical task for it, reported under during the briefing in new york, secretary general antonio otelish says that the organization has received requests for investigations from ukraine and russia, and i want to inform you of one more piece of news: hungary's statement and actions in relation to ukraine do not yet coincide, so budapest's position does not prevent ukraine from achieving certain goals in the international arena about this is what minister of foreign affairs dmytro kuleba said in an interview with ukrinform. according to him, ukraine is still in normal relations with hungary. statements although they are unpleasant and emotional, it is one decision - this is another hungary joins the sanctions, we see that within the discussion within the eu, hungary

is knocking down some potential new sanctions, but this has not yet reached a critical level so that we can say that some significant step has not taken place through hungary. she also supported granting ukraine the status of candidate for membership the eu suspected russia of trying to enter the ban on the sale of oil, the bloomberg agency tracked the cargo that arrived at one of the egyptian ports. this is about 700,000 barrels of oil from russia in a few hours, another ship transported it this cargo to the egyptian oil terminal taras shukheir and this terminal, in turn, makes it possible to mix oil from different sources. in this way, the origin of the fuel can become unknown. blumber emphasizes that it is currently unknown whether this is a one-time scheme or a regular method that can give moscow the opportunity to bypass sanctions, the oil embargo will be intercepted we will win we will win that you are not news together we are strong the economy of ukraine is currently in a

critical state the monthly deficit is 5 billion dollars our state needs help from everything to the world, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyy, said this during an address to students and teachers of australian universities, there is no economy in the state, we have lost a large number of jobs, millions, precisely, millions, thousands, as sometimes politicians generalize tens of thousands of millions for a country whose population is 40 million and 12 million displaced people, you understand that this is just a blow to the economy, almost killing her, and she is in a coma today, and we must do everything, not only ukraine , all of the world together as doctors, so that they are truly ours the economy began to breathe on the connection ivanus the chief

consultant of the national institute of strategic studies p ivan i greet you good morning good morning greetings from the studio greetings to the audience mr. ivan have you heard the president he said that the economy in the state is almost non-existent, it is in a critical state and let's add here more information from kyiv school of economics which says that we suffered losses as a result of the destruction in the amount of 108 billion dollars. and this is half of the gdp of our country. from this history, in what way is it possible for us to get out? the system and picture of the principles by which we lived , is it still realistic to simply ask for help from the countries and they will pull us out of this abyss objectively, for today, unconditional help from partners is the main source. the main thing is that ukraine, which said i repeatedly demonstrated on your broadcasts that we ourselves are also

doing something. that is, we are not purely hoping for the help of our partners, but also that we are looking for the exits ourselves. we definitely lost many jobs. well, so that many people left the country, that is, really i i agree, mr. president, that when the population is 40 million and uh, well, 12.5 is taking into account internal movements, but somewhere around 3 million abroad is also a significant figure for our economy, nevertheless , certain eh, let's say, directions of the economy, they demonstrate activity and there was already information about the fact that, for example, in the west of ukraine, for example , coffee shops in lviv, they receive their income in the amount in which it was received until february 24. that is, this is a certain demonstration of the fact that, again, certain directions of the economy, they work, and that is necessary ore, which makes up half of the exports there and

replenishes the budgets of the coffee shops in lviv above, do not call them dominant in filling the country's budget, so definitely definitely, well, first of all, i would mention metallurgy because i sold it, after all, you really see but fortunately, many years are over territories under the control of ukraine, the poltava years are different. and with metallurgy , the situation is worse because we understand that why were the main enterprises in mariupol a-a and here, too, i will not say that we completely lost this industry because that there is kryvorizhstal, there is zaporizhstal, that is, nevertheless, the blow is significant and, again, even our main industry is agriculture, we understand that the conditions in which ukraine is when there are people who go out into the field and do not know they are not lying there mine are they do not contribute to the fact that

we had effective work of this sector, that is, but nevertheless, despite the statement that the economy must be transferred to military lines, we must also monitor and what works even in these conditions, what gives people profit and what definitely gives state tax that is, the only thing that i do not agree with certain statements of certain politicians that let's raise taxes. because this proposal is sometimes heard, i still believe that at this stage, at which our state is, we should not, like me, turn on the tax pressure, because people need everything allow them to catch up. let them start certain activities for those who defend our land, not so definitely, because after all, any working business is a business that pays taxes , so if more substantial taxes are included, it

means that these businesses will eventually close. they will have jobs, and the states will have money , so here we need a balance here, we need significant calculations for any action and see how it will affect employment and other components that are very important. therefore, ask on the street if yesterday we actively talked about taiwan, then today life threw us into a conflict in the mountainous karas, the army of azerbaijan captured two heights of the post, please explain this situation, it is also becoming and can become the point of conflict, and these conflicts are only more what you are told your experience, see the irony in the fact that if the russian federation wanted a conflict over taiwan because it understood that in the event of this conflict, it would get china as an ally, of course

, as long as china does not rush to help russia, it is directly said that it applies to the situation in non-nuclear karabakh and there it is completely different do you know how public the situation was yesterday, the mayor of dnipro boris filatov wrote on facebook that he spoke with his colleagues from the baku and they told him that we are monitoring the situation in ukraine and if we see what will happen before it was considered the second army of the world, don't show your strength, that is, the famous saying in akela was missed , then we will start acting because they are operating on the territory, which, let me remind you, is formally under the peacekeeping mission of the russian federation. i have repeatedly accused azerbaijan of russia because it is not doing what it promised to do in the 20th year, we remember the correspondence between the ministry of defense of azerbaijan and the ministry of defense of the russian federation from just two months ago, in

which the ministry of defense began to very organically write about what we are asking the ministry defense of russia, don't invent fairy tales , name the cities in azerbaijan correctly, don't make mistakes in the spelling names, we have to end with p ivan, yes, that is, you underlined this conflict. thank you . here is another piece of information. these pipes allow you to observe the advance of the enemy. volunteers from transcarpathia make them by hand. periscopes for tracking the russians are made from plumbing materials or one optical device costs only 100 hryvnias. the first one he made was on a tour from mukachevo when he couldn’t buy a periscope for his friend

in the military. they themselves could not find this device in specialized stores for military acquaintances, then the local tour guide maxima adamenko santo made a model of the device, found all the necessary materials and already a few days together with friends we do it like seeds we send uh no need to invest money in equipment it's just hands it's ready parts factory quality endurance we just do it we cut and collect and i'm elated by the ease of execution and better quality in one evening 20 can do approximately 100 periscopes, if the truth is that in advance you need to prepare and purchase all the necessary materials, both children and adults work here, all those who believe that they work or help bring ukraine closer to victory, everyone should have their own front we are also ukrainians, we can bring our

victory closer with such actions and such drivers, we do it because of the desire to be useful, because well, i believe that if there is an opportunity to do what is needed at the front, then it must be done among volunteers and military marianna, who she comes here not only to help, but also to distract herself. now her husband and brother are serving in hot spots. the woman is proud of the initiative and believes that these devices will save more than one life of ukrainian soldiers. it is difficult for me morally, knowing that my relatives are not there knowing what we will see with them but i have great hope that all this will be i very simply want to help something and it doesn't matter which military is this my 128th brigade or will it be 56 is this thirty for me all boys all women cooks all any

military or civilian, who is there? it is personally very important to me. horoscopes are sent to the military for free. volunteers say that currently there are enough donations and materials for production. and as soon as a request appears, they immediately send the devices to the right points where they are needed. now i need to know where to get a periscope because literally 10 minutes ago i received a message from a friend of the dry cleaner from the front. we need them. rescan further, the broadcast continues our colleagues from the public sector have been with you during this time the team of the tv channel was happy specifically now tetyana goncharova we are not saying goodbye we are working on a national marathon the only news start with it your day well i can't accept that it is no longer in the house so that there is light and heat

it is scary as never but someone has to do it they work honestly war war i had to collect we are trying to do more in a day they will put it in order it will take root nothing and for me putin every city and every district so that's all it is over for people to return beauty and order protects the juice end and it will be cool communal workers battalion glory to ukraine here our front in the most difficult times for the country is loyal only to the armed forces but also in itself the state provides assistance to all who through war is looking for a new job in every city there are employment centers where vacancies are updated daily, choose conveniently and fill out the form on the official website in action
