in this market with the condition of covering the cost price so that farmers can continue operating activities and confidently look to the autumn field work, which will already actively begin literally in a few weeks, mr. taras, and what is the overall grain export potential of ukraine this year, about what volume and what potential amount of foreign exchange earnings we can talk now. we expect that the impact of grain and oil crops will be approximately 65-67 million tons per year, this is within the limits of controlled territories and cultivated areas, our internal the consumption of grain oilseeds is about 20-22 million tons, so we can clearly understand that the additional export of exclusively grain oilseed oilseeds can reach more than 40 million tons, at the same time it is worth

remembering that we still had a transfer of residues more than from the pre-harvest than classically and there there is also a minimum of 15 million tons available for export, so if you sum up these numbers and look at the average statistical prices available on the market there today, this is all exactly the minimum value of its export from 20 billion dollars, mr. taras, and it is interesting to understand what the geography is like today of sales of ukrainian grain, who is buying it now and are there any bans on export to those countries that previously bought grain stolen in ukraine, here again it is worth distinguishing when we talk about exports in march and july, which mainly went through other directions in eastern europe. of course, a large part

went directly to the european union, which was logistically cheaper, and part of it via transit went to countries that we have historically exported a lot of, namely north africa, the middle east , southeast asia. now we expect that a share of these distant regions, which are more accessible from the black sea ports, will increase. and this is again north africa, southeast asia, and it is the extra that will become more differentiated. of course, we have the facts . unfortunately, confirmation of the purchase of the right grain is the same as syria. well, we cannot have any kind of diplomatic, non-commercial relations with such a country, other countries in most cases, even if the russians tried to sell them another grain, they refused, well, they refused the seller , that’s why, er, in classic, our buyers are pre-war, let’s say

that's right, egypt, including the countries of north africa, or china, india, they will be able to import more from ukraine at the moment, mr. taras, two short clarifications, then, can it not be with ukrainian grain, as they did with russian oil and this became known to the world community by mixing with others, for example, ukrainian grain is mixed with russian and sold under the guise of russian . grain did not remain at the time of the occupation, there was literally a-a million tons, which is significant on our scale, therefore theoretically. maybe, but within the framework of the previous one, it could not have covered such a large-scale character, and the last question on today, however, it is very important for ukrainians to export, of course, it is

being restored, but will it be possible to save grain for the domestic market, because there is also a threat of destroying the elevators, and if it does not work, it will not turn out that way, as a result, we will be left alone without grain and oil ah, i want to reassure you that there is no reason to worry. if we take the transitional balances and this year's production, we will have a total of more than 80 million tons of grain and oils, while the annual domestic consumption is 20 million tons. that is, we have four times more at the same time, the government constantly monitors and in fact we see, well, we do n’t even imagine what can happen, but if there will be such an intensive export, then of course we will follow it, but now it is four times more and there is no reason to worry, of course thank you taras vysotskyi and the first deputy minister of agrarian policy and food of ukraine was with us russia, the world is on the brink of a new

nuclear catastrophe, the occupiers must allow representatives of megaten zaporizhzhia to the nuclear power plant and stop the shelling of the nuclear power plant, un secretary general antonio otylish said. he repeated again that the risk of nuclear confrontation returned because decade and called on the nuclear powers not to be the first to use weapons, he also added that in the event of russia's use of nuclear weapons, there would most likely be no un to intervene react this was a quote, let's recall the other day, the iaea stated that russia is putting the world on the brink of catastrophe, instead, the occupiers have been regularly shelling the zaporizhia npp in recent days, one employee is currently injured, she is in critical condition in intensive care, meanwhile, the occupiers openly stated that they were replacing all important objects at the zaporizhia npp ihor zhovkva the deputy head of the office of the president of ukraine continues to join our broadcast p. ihoru

. we congratulate you. good evening. in your opinion, why are they only reacting to shelling by the occupiers with statements? zaporizhzhia npp and information about its mining by the russians and the readiness to even blow up this station , it was obviously more correct to ask about it from their megathea. unfortunately, indeed, from the very beginning , russia's aggression against ukraine has been open, and we remember that, unfortunately, the situation with the city of energodaru occupation and the zaporizhia eu, it began literally in the first er times of the war, unfortunately, the makaters responded rather inactively, could they have done more today? really, as you said, the situation is quite critical and we want and the un and many others were really actively involved, but you are talking about inspections of the secretary general's statement. well , you can't do without inspections here, let me remind you that after all, the object is occupied by the armed forces of the russian federation, for some reason it is not heard to urge the

individual to make a clear demand first, deo to buy this strategic ob object is a critical infrastructure to completely withdraw the troops as the object itself as self-determination at least for some inspectors and they can mention the un can talk about some e-e efforts on the part of the un e to guarantee the security of physical security as employees of this station ukrainian personnel of this station who still work at the station in inhumane conditions simply under pressure under control not only in terms of armed representatives of the russian federation, as far as i understand, there are representatives of the nuclear institutions of the russian federation, but i would like not only applications, if you speak correctly, but also actions from these two structures see ukraine is preparing the second over the crimean platform in august, do you know how many countries can

participate in it, what are your expectations that it does not pass physically, do you remember 47 countries of international organizations then participated at different levels , there were country leaders, there were ministers of foreign affairs , there were other official representatives this year for objective reasons, it will be held online because , unfortunately, for security reasons, we cannot allow the presence of such a large number of leaders at the same time on the territory of our capital. unfortunately, but the president of ukraine does not want this year to pass without crimea. it is here that the issue of the deoccupation of crimea and other territories of ukraine should be on the agenda of all our partners every day, so this year they are invited as participants of the crimean platform . did not participate in it themselves due to fat or other reasons, but we hope that this year they will be included. it will be representative and, accordingly, a

joint statement based on the results is also planned. we expect from each leader of one or another country to talk about how we should talk about the deoccupation of the crimean peninsula and other territories, including from the point of view of economic models, including from the point of view of social consequences, that is, a wide range of issues is planned to be discussed for a long time sir, less than a minute remains, but no less important issue , the head of the occupation administration of the zaporizhzhia region signed an order on holding a pseudo-referendum on reunification with russia, this only threats, or in your opinion, have the kremlin decided to speed up the holding of so-called referendums due to the effective actions of the armed forces of ukraine, they are afraid, they are afraid of the absolutely effective actions of the armed forces of ukraine, those that have already begun, those that will definitely begin, they are afraid, secondly, they are unsure , including about the potential results of the so -called the pseudo-referendum is why they are warming themselves,

you know, they are warming up russian citizens on the territory of russia, they are warming up those who have gone over to the side of the occupation authorities, this will not help them. we are sure that this referendum will definitely not take place because as you said at the beginning of the question, the effective actions of the armed forces of ukraine were understood by mr. ihor spasyba , that you found time to join our broadcast. appeared 160 years ago, for almost 70 years it was forbidden to mention them, now these words sound throughout the world as the anthem of freedom , big things begin with small steps, thank you for your step

, the state is us viktor derevyanko he is 31 years old a lieutenant of the state border guard service of ukraine was wounded on february 24 in chernihiv oblast. the enemy fired at seven more employees at dawn and a shrapnel entered my heart. my happiness is that i see that after such a situation, the border guards first operated in the chernihiv hospital, and then they were sent to kyiv to remove the shrapnel from the man's heart. doctors they wondered how viktor managed to survive, what did he answer to them, we need to live, we still need to serve , the story of a man with an indomitable fighting spirit, we are warriors, not lazy, dishonest, and our cause is righteous

holy because who for what and we are for independence so it is difficult for us because of that oh in ukraine and volunteers everything is possible ... they will save them they will give gifts to the planes they will help the doctors they will sing a lullaby opa defenders will be equipped everyone they will embrace glory

to ukraine to the whole world ukraine will be glorified by the volunteer family there is no translated all ukraine thanks you russia mined the zaporizhia nuclear power plant is ready to blow it up such a statement of the russian general who currently commands the gas station was published by the mass media and confirmed the information in to the main intelligence directorate of ukraine and the energoatom agency, the presence of russian military personnel on the territory of the zaporizhzhia npp poses a threat not only to millions of ukrainians, but also to the whole world, that is why ukraine called on the un and megate to send a security mission there. of the international community, our journalists will tell. this is

how hans described the shelling of the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant by russia as a step towards a nuclear catastrophe the pendant of antonio otelish, he compared it to the disaster in chernobyl and the japanese hiroshima and called for international inspectors to be given access to the nuclear power plant immediately, any attack on the nuclear plant is suicide, we fully support megate in all its efforts to create conditions for the stabilization of the plant international atomic energy agency repeatedly appealed to the kremlin to grant access to the control of the station, they answered that they were not against however, the general director of the mgt did not allow observers, he believes that there are no winners in a nuclear war, because the consequences will be felt in all over the world, in particular, and in russia itself, for four months now i am ready to lead a mission of experts on security and many guarantees for the country's largest zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, this vitally important mission has not yet taken place, innocent shopkeepers, despite our determined efforts, it is still

impossible, although the russian military leaders themselves have not see problems in deadly consequences for the world, energoatom and the main intelligence directorate of ukraine confirmed the information that the russian federation is ready to blow up the zaporizhzhia npp and has already mined all six power units are evidence of this, the statement of major general valery vasilev, who is currently commanding a military garrison on the side of the occupiers , it is impossible to verify its credibility. as you know, we mined all the important objects of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power station. we do not hide this from the enemy, we warned them, the enemy knows that the station will either in russian or in a draw, we are ready for the consequences of this step, and you must understand that we have no other way. if there is the toughest order, we must fulfill it with honor, a former employee of a gas station in comments published by reuters called the provocations of the russian side absurd - the game says that it is a mortal danger to understand what you are doing

with nuclear weapons, so they are building and they will not shoot here, but we are from here. how will we give them, well , there are no sums, experts explain that russia is shelling the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in order to put pressure on ukraine in order to start stealing electricity and sending it, in particular, to the temporarily occupied crimea, they want to disconnect this station from the unified energy system of ukraine and want to connect this power plant in accordance with crimea , because in crimea today there is a possibility of a certain shortage of electric energy, or because of the destruction of the so -called e-e platforms for gas production, the russians captured zaporizhzhya npp even at the beginning of the full-scale war, on march 4, its employees

were held hostage, the occupiers use nuclear power plant to cover its military equipment, since the armed forces of ukraine cannot return fire due to the danger of falling into power units, while the russian military has repeatedly arranged provocations with shelling of the armed forces, blaming ukraine at the same time oleg zinchenko for the results the only important thing is how real is the threat of blowing up the largest nuclear power plant in europe , will the world still be able to reverse this situation, how will it affect cooperation with our partners and not only in the military, but also in the food spheres this is what we will now talk about with the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kulev. he is with us in direct contact with our studio. dmytro, we congratulate you. good evening. so, let's start with this the question is, in your opinion, how the international community should respond to moscow's nuclear terror, because

general secretary antony goteres, in particular, demands megate's access to the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and whether this can normalize the situation around europe's largest nuclear power plant, well, nuclear blackmail is a taboo in international relations, only pariah countries succeed to him because the fact that russia is starting to appeal to nuclear nuclear blackmail is so uh-uh mysteriously this only shows one thing about their state of actual desperation and understanding of what is already being done uh even threaten a nuclear catastrophe in order to restrain ukraine and its partners in er-e plans to liberate ukraine from the occupier, he is definitely here er-e prepared to take measures, it is necessary to understand that

their mandate is quite limited, but less so, all the mechanisms that can be used we from we will help the organization of the united nations to use it to stabilize the situation. however, it is obvious to everyone that the only way to guarantee nuclear safety at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is for russia to simply leave there until russia is there as long as there is a source of threat, mr. dmytro. let's change the subject a little. at what stage is the process of recognition by the united states of russia as a sponsor of terrorism, according to the information of the world media, the state department is still hesitating about this decision? in the communication with the state secretary, the head of the president's office, andriy yarmaki, and the president of ukraine,

volodymyr zelenskyi, are promoting this topic very consistently and fundamentally. we have a we we provide information factor arguments in order to achieve this decision and the us congress has already joined this struggle, unfortunately, this decision has not yet been adopted, but you asked at what stage , that is, i will say yes at an advanced stage, uh, the state department is moving in this direction, i understand why the biden administration er has certain er and will add additional internal discussions before making this decision but i think it was the most natural and legitimate reaction of the united states to the behavior of the russian federation to essentially stop the supply of weapons to ukraine, how

does the ministry of foreign affairs counter this, we act in two ways, firstly, about active, the best way to win is an offensive and therefore, at the beginning of the war, we attacked the information space in the information space with the truth and convincing facts stories about the real actions of the russian federation, and there was definitely a consensus, there was an unconditional consensus in the world that ukraine won this first phase of the information war, now the russians are resorting to the last couple months to the new strategy of shaking up the specific narrative about the fact that the weapons provided to us by our partners seem to be going somewhere wrong and about the fact that there is no real trust between ukraine and its partners, primarily the united states, and here we are

against us, what is called against us go on the offensive and we, in accordance with the emergency war, are going on the counteroffensive and by the way, today's decision on the allocation of a new security e-package of the united states that these 1 billion dollars worth of state-of-the-art weapons, this is actually the best counter-argument for those who claim that there is no trust between ukraine and the united states or that the partners do not know where their weapons will go, they know everything, there is a high level of trust, but there is also an information war in which you have to fight and win while maintaining a cool mind, mr. dmytro, we want to clarify some details well, really, almost an hour ago, it became known about a new aid package from the united states, and we know the amount, we want details from you, you may have

noticed that literally in the last few weeks , there have already been several announcements from the united states about the provision of new weapons, a total of 18 packages have already been provided, which are er provided by the decision of the president of the united states er joseph biden, and we are extremely grateful to him for this, this latest package includes not only javelins well known to all ukrainians , but also missiles for heimers already no less well-known e-e missiles for nasamb systems and other other important weapons weapons are critically important not only for our defensive but also for offensive actions and the united states supports us precisely because specifically between president zelensky biden, as well as between the teams of biden and koman zelenskyi, a really high level of trust

and interaction has developed. can this agreement be extended to other goods in the future? you know that here the united nations and turkey play an important role in guaranteeing the observance of this agreement by the russian federation. that this agreement is actually about the construction of a safe logistics corridor and in principle no one limits ukraine in exporting its goods whether it will be agriculture or it will be metal or it will be uh i know toys some issues are not in this

the issue is that russia does not bomb the ports ships were not bombed, and if russia complies with these requirements, who in principle can resume their work at the ports of ukraine at full capacity and fully export the sea can resume, mr. dmytro, the question of sanctions, when can we expect the eighth package of sanctions from of the european union against russia and the main thing is what can be included in it, well, now in the european union there is a little pause related to august , it does not mean that our partners have completely turned off and work has stopped, but we are already expecting the next package of sanctions in the fall, after the resumption of the active political season in the european union, what can be in this package

of sanctions, well, you know. have already actively worked with the states of our friends in the european union so that they make relevant proposals. next, there will be a negotiation process, the results of which will result in a package. let's talk about another topic, too, about the possibility of negotiations with russia. president zelenskyi said that a pseudo-referendum is possible in the occupied territories will make any negotiations with russia impossible. do our western partners support kyiv's position? and what can they do if these fake referendums? well, our western partners simply did not take place. the partners fully share ukraine's position. about the fact that russia should withdraw from ukrainian

territory and not destroy it, not kill civilians , and even more so not try to de facto annex these territories in one way or another, and the determination and principledness of president zelensky on this issue, it is completely shared by our partners, no one questions the fairness of the ukrainian position, and what is the topic ukraine is preparing for the second summit of the crimean platform in august, do you know how many countries already can take part in it well, really, what are your expectations, and the most important thing is actually the fact of holding this summit, because we will be holding it in conditions of war, but the signal that we are

sending to the world from this right there is very simple , no matter what there was no war, ukraine will never forget any of its occupied territories, including the crimea, dmytro thank you for taking the time to talk with us today on direct communication, we will find out the results, uh, there was the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, today the international the day of the indigenous peoples of the world in ukraine is a sign of respect for the crimean tatars, the krymchaks and the karayos, young mykhailo hrushevsky took the hannibal oath to write a hundred books in the ukrainian language after 30 years, he significantly exceeded his promise, he not only described the history of ukraine, he proclaimed its independence, the independence that we will always defend, the state is we deliberately hit unpopulated areas in broad daylight

, plant mines with deadly iron on the holy ukrainian land. but instead of fear and despair, they will see in in our eyes, only their death, ukrainian soldiers will pay for every tear of our mothers , 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 cities and towns back to life, regardless of shelling, fatigue and darkness, we will die day and night we will win with posts in the middle of the free world. new, prosperous, happy and invincible ukraine in the most difficult times for the country is faithful only to everything. but the state also provides assistance to all those who war is looking for a new job, there are

employment centers in every city, where vacancies are updated daily, choose conveniently, fill out the form on the official website in action or in the chat body, work, develop, live, and you victory, warriors are not lazy , nel, and our work is righteous, holy, because who is for what, and we are for independence so it is difficult for us because of that
