well, to ensure fuel stability on the box, that’s why i think that this story will have its continuation and there will definitely be pressure from these countries on ukraine, and there is almost no time, but i will ask you literally in one sentence, will it be enough for us to export 20 billion grains at the current prices on the market, such and such a profit, uh, not a profit, the volume of currency is predicted by foreign policy, including sea exports, it is a lot, it is a lot. will it help us, mr. mikhailov, what do you think it is very good indicator i think, i hope that this is how it happens, mr. yevgeny, 20 billion is a large amount, but it will still be too little for us, it is quite a large amount, it is 25-30% of the exports that we had before the war, and i

hope that we will really reach this amount it is possible if we unblock the ports there and there will be a full supply, we will hope. thank you for your comments. we were accompanied by yevhen dubogres, an associate expert of the analytical center of the case of ukraine, and mykhailo demkiv, a financial analyst of the icu group of companies. thank you for your professional comments. finally, positive news for ukrainians. 10,000 ukrainians from the occupied territories and war zones are receiving additional assistance. the ministry of social policy concluded a memorandum with a separate unit of the foreign non-governmental organization ektit. the amount of assistance will be 22 hryvnias per person per month in a one-time payment for three months. at the initial stage, these will be residents of kharkiv donetsk kherson dnipropetrovsk and mykolaiv oblasts will be able to receive assistance from those who applied for assistance through the platform

news during a joint conference with the head of the latvian ministry of defense, artis pabriks pers , in riga. this visit took place on the eve of the conference of the northern european allies in support of ukraine, which will be held on thursday in copenhagen, meanwhile, denmark announced that 130 instructors had arrived in great britain to train the ukrainian military participation in the british training program, canada and sweden announced their intentions to continue helping ukraine against the background of active gods in the russian-ukrainian war also announced british prime minister boris johnson and french president emmanuel macron agreed on this during a telephone conversation on august 9. meanwhile, the american news agency, citing its sources in ukraine, reports that the explosions at the russian military base in crimea occurred as a result of a military strike on we will talk about all this with my colleagues yulia yarmolenko, who is joining us from the capitol hill, and bohdan tsyupin, who is contacting the zone.

congratulations, colleagues, congratulations. so yulia, let's start with you for what purpose did the minister of ostend of latvia come, what statements did he hear from him and what does this visit mean in the context of tomorrow's conference in copenhagen natalya, this visit is extremely important because it is actually the first visit of the secretary of defense of the united states to latvia in almost 30 years and it is a demonstration of support, especially when countries the baltics , in particular, and latvia are very worried about their security against the background of russia's full-scale war against ukraine, and lloyd austin once again emphasized this during these meetings that the united states is ready increase the number of military exercises in the baltic countries, but are also ready to send more american troops if necessary to latvia , as well as other baltic countries, what we heard is important from the point of view of ukraine - this was, of course, the main statement that you already said. lloyd austin

confirmed once again that the united states and the allies will provide military aid to ukraine as much as it will be necessary. let's listen to the ball for the united states. now they have done a lot in terms of providing security assistance to ukraine, but we are one of many countries, as i said earlier, about 50 countries are working together to find means to provide such support in the future. how much will it take? bohdan, the question is for you. so , denmark has become the next country to join the british training program for the ukrainian military. before that, sweden and canada did it. tell us what kind of initiative this is. why now? we see such a trend towards its strengthening, this

initiative is not entirely new, those who closely follow voice of america programs know that the united kingdom and the united states participated in the training of the ukrainian military on training grounds in ukraine even before this russian invasion, and the british program was very extensive it was called orbital and prepared 22,000 uah of ukrainian military personnel, but it is obvious that these are military personnel who later fought mainly in the donbass and when russia launched a major offensive along the entire length of the ukrainian border and when many ukrainians were drafted into the ukrainian army, who until now had never even held a weapon in their hands, the question arose of how to prepare them, and here the british prime minister johnson came to kyiv for the second time in june. he

visited the ukrainian the capital during this invasion with the initiative of a new program and within the framework of that program ukrainian military recruits will often pass and actually since last month they have been training on the territory of great britain and this program is very ambitious boris johnson then said that he hopes that every 120 days 10,000 ukrainian soldiers will be trained by providing them with basic skills, that is, it is primarily about new recruits who have no combat experience or have little experience, it is obvious that this is a very large program and now others are joining it countries sending their instructors and probably this is a new, very interesting aspect, that is, in fact, the creation of an international coalition of countries that not only provide weapons to ukraine,

but now also join forces in order to in particular, on the territory of great britain, together help train the ukrainian military so that they can fight better, better defend themselves and their country, bohdan just spoke with yule, we made similar promises today from johnson and macron, what does this mean that the leaders understand that the war can drag on and help will be it is necessary perhaps for a long time about the fact that the war will probably last for a long time in british circles in particular and in general in western circles in europe, it is said that sometimes more often they also say that what, for example, probably that for the russian president vladimir putin

, this war has become much longer than he hoped or obviously expected a lightning victory when he sent his troops to capture kyiv and now against the background of talk that the war has been going on for almost six months and will probably continue because putin shows no signs of readiness to stop the offensive in ukraine, western leaders and in particular, for example, in a conversation the day before, the british prime minister and the president of france and emmanuel macron spoke about the need for further comprehensive assistance to ukraine and separately emphasized that it is very important that the countries that support ukraine do not experience what they call such fatigue during the war that they do not reduce their efforts exactly when ukraine probably needs them the most, because

the delegates of the conference on supporting ukraine are gathering and the meeting of the defense ministers of ukraine and great britain has already taken place and data do we have the details of this meeting natalya, this is a meeting, we only have general details and of course the parties discussed and checked the clocks in terms of military cooperation between the countries and we also know how you denmark has already said that it announced that they will help train the ukrainian military . the press conference that took place as a result of these meetings drew a little more attention to it, in particular, journalists tried to get an answer to a very important, topical question. they wanted to hear from the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, whether ukraine is standing for the strike on the russian air base in crimea and this is what oleksiy reznikov answered. the answers are very clear and short. i

think that the russian military at this base violated a very simple and well-known rule: do not smoke in dangerous places and not dangerous places ukraine is behind this attack, he only repeated the statement about smoking and in fact also from ben walls - this is the minister of defense of great britain, he was also asked a similar question, he said that in fact he will not comment on this situation earlier in an interview with a journalist, he said that in fact now london is investigating all the details of what happened in the crimea, but ben volens gave an answer to another important question at the press conference, he answered whether the great britain is legitimate and legitimate if ukraine

strikes russian points, russian bases on the territory of crimea, and he confirmed it, i cannot comment on yesterday's event, but in general it would be legitimate if it were a ukrainian strike - it would correspond to the norms of international law yuliu so such statements were made in copenhagen do we have the reaction of the official washington and how do the expert circles comment on this event, do you know natalya, yesterday we tried to get an answer from the white house directly and just asked the question whether does washington or the united states think that russian air bases, russian military bases in crimea, which are the territory of ukraine, are these legitimate points of impression for the ukrainian military ?

the integrity of the american experts and with whom we spoke, as well as the comments that were announced publicly, indicate that in fact this strike on the russian air base is actually very important and will be important both in the short and in the long term, in particular the gertling brand, he is a former american ex- general, i apologize, and now a military expert. he said that this was a strategically important strike and he also emphasized that the position of the ukrainian authorities, which does not comment openly, is not takes responsibility for this attack on himself, he called it strategic gold, in fact another expert with whom i would talk today and this is an expert of the atlantic council, an expert on ukraine and russia he actually says that this strike was important for a number of reasons and will be important in particular for us strategically and will also be important in general for the vision of the effectiveness of the ukrainian

forces. let's listen to his comment that this strike is important for both strategic and symbolic reasons because no one knew that the ukrainians have such capabilities, we did not think that the ukrainian military could strike so far behind the russian border and this strike may indicate that sevastopol is within reach of the ukrainian military and this could put the russian black sea fleet at risk of a strike, this strike was also useful because it reportedly destroyed 9 or 10 russian planes that were used to attack ukrainian troops. in the coming weeks and months, when ukraine will try to liberate kherson, the loss of these planes will only make it more difficult the situation for the russian troops, who are already having difficulties with the maintenance of this city. will take place tomorrow in copenhagen, he

actually said that such strikes show the effectiveness of ukrainian forces and this sends a signal to western partners that any weapon that would be provided to ukraine will be used effectively. was it a blow? was it a blow and what weapon was used? thank you, colleagues, for your analysis. let me remind you that yuliya yarmolenko from capitol hill and bohdan were in direct contact with us. tsyupin from london is among the countries that are gathering in copenhagen for the conference of northern european allies in support of ukraine, lithuania, which steadfastly supports the ukrainians in their resistance to russian aggression, threats from russia, expectations from nato, the creation of new international forms to counter russia, the need to reform the un security council

and the end scenario of the war, myroslava gongadze spoke with the president of lithuania, gitanos, at the useda. you were in ukraine on february 23, just before the war began. were you aware at that time of the risks in where are the ukrainians and did they expect that the war would start so quickly ? i understand that this brings many victims to the lives of horses and people and destroyed civil infrastructure, but this is a struggle not only for ukrainian democracy and ukrainian territorial integrity, but also a struggle for democratic values ​​in general, and here it is very it is important to note that ukraine is fighting very courageously

not only for its own territory but also for our freedom. what do you think russia is doing? putin's goal. i believe that putin miscalculated. his expectations were completely different. putin expected that they would capture the ukrainian capital kyiv in a few days and that this war will not have great political or economic consequences for russia, but we see that it turned out quite differently over time. we realized that we need to do even more to introduce very clear consequences for russia. russia should see that there will be consequences, we introduced the first package of sanctions, the second, the third, the fifth, and now we see that european politicians and the countries of the european union understand very well what threatens the russian government, it was not always like that. because i remember our discussions at bilateral meetings of the european council, we tried to convince our partners and so the anti- sofian union when you say we are which countries are

poland romania all the countries of eastern europe countries that are in the zone of immediate threat and we are now listening very much to the words of putin the countries western europe was underestimated, it will endanger it, it is possible to understand that europe is already different. europe understands the threats much better, of course, europe is still dependent in many areas, for example, in energy, this is a very acute problem, but not in my country. lithuania has made all the necessary changes, spent a lot of money to create the necessary infrastructure to be energy independent, we are proud that lithuania has stopped buying electricity from russian naftogaz, so they can't do anything to us in this regard" friends of energy resort from bells, this dependence on energy resources

has accumulated over the past 20 years in germany, france and other countries. why do you think such an underestimation of the russian threats was created and convinced the minds of the politicians of western europe. in money, profits, cheap energy resources and opportunities to do business, but one more assumption, we are dealing with a completely different policy by political figures in moscow and my colleagues probably thought that putin is just a little different , but this is not a problem because you can agree to talk with him and present your arguments, but they did not understand that arguments do not play a role for him , because the main ideology of this regime is to conquer as much territory as possible, expand and find neighbors on which you can attack if you read what they say they are trying to rebuild the empire they are trying to restore the soviet union in one

form or another do you remember putin said that the collapse of the soviet union became the biggest the catastrophe of the 20th century and now they are consistently trying to restore the soviet union, this is not only a risk and a threat for ukraine, but it also means huge threats for all of us, and this time even for those countries of western europe that were not part of the former soviet union, our country was part of member of the soviet union. does your country feel safe in this situation and do you think that your nato allies will come to your defense? what is your readiness for threats? my answer would be very simple. we feel safer than we did before 2004, because in 2004 lithuania became a member of two very important organizations, the european union and nato

. yes, we sincerely believe in the assurances of our partners to protect every inch of our land, but that does not mean that we can not make additional efforts to improve our security, we have done a lot in this country to modernize our army and military forces create better infrastructure and be able to deploy additional troops of our nato allies we have increased our military spending to 2.5% of gdp and you are ready to provide even more financial resources to meet all the demands that may arise in the current geopolitical situation very it is important to note that lithuania feels safe but we must also be aware of the risks because we are dealing with a very dangerous neighbor and the best proof is the situation in ukraine what today is being put on the map in ukraine e-e de volt orer

in the end democracy and international security it is very important to note that vladimir putin's appetite has no limits if they succeed in ukraine they will be on our doorstep i don't know who will be the next target of ukraine baltics maybe poland romania but this is not the most important issue , the most important issue is what we should do in the format of nato and the european union to prevent russian aggression. putin should stop his operation. what does he call it in ukraine? i hope that ukraine will succeed and we will to stand with ukraine until victory, of course until ukraine wins, and today we see many assurances from western european leaders, as well as from other countries of the world, that they are ready to provide ukraine with military aid. the european union is firmly determined to introduce sanctions and continue the sanctions policy in the future, this is very important because so far, we have done a lot, but it is not enough to stop putinavt and

stop oil. putinites pushed this international coalition and warned ukraine about the possibility threats from russia a couple of months before the war do you think the us is doing enough in this fight today and who do you think should be the leader of this push to stop putin i expect the united states to be the leader and they are the leaders in providing military aid and political support, which is very important, but i believe that the speed of decision-making is now the most important issue, so we are talking about additional military equipment and other equipment, but this is what ukrainians need today, not tomorrow is the day after tomorrow bringing many victims people suffering destroyed cities etc. we must stop this as soon as possible and the role of the united states in this is crucial and yorkmetit eh

poland is commented my commitment to helping ukraine poland is also committed but germany is slow do you feel the results in persuasion of other countries to do more eh bank itself some people are skeptical about the german position in recent months but i see a huge progress because i can compare the situation with what was a few months ago, when germany was very reluctant to provide any weapons to ukraine, now it is not the case. now we are talking about the speed of decision-making and this is a huge progress. the change in thinking is also obvious. i believe that this is also our contribution. we are trying to talk and establish the necessary dialogue with our colleagues in germany and they, in turn, influence public opinion because public opinion has also become very clear. i remember my visits to berlin. at the end of february, where i had the opportunity to attend a meeting against the war in ukraine on saturday, i i returned home and the next day i heard that

100,000 people had gathered for the rally, while on saturday there were maybe 500 people. you can see the dynamics of public opinion in germany and it is very important that people understand that this must be fought. germany is free from threats from russia, but germany is also a target as well as lithuania romania or other countries of eastern europe how do you see the end i see no other alternative and we must make every effort to achieve the victory of ukraine in this war because all other scenarios would be very disappointing for ukraine itself, lithuania and the entire democratic world. thank you very much, it was an interview of myroslava gongadze with the president of lithuania, a resident of china. chernihiv region was one of the regions most affected by russian aggression at the beginning of the full-scale offensive, many local residents were literally left without a roof over their heads

. anna kostyuchenko and avia sukhodolskyi visited the village of novoselivka, where they saw local houses destroyed to the foundations and met a volunteer who helps others without wasting time to renew his home and business anatoly mykhailovych from the village of novoselivka in chernihiv oblast today we turned 79 years old this year he does not celebrate properly and has no place to invite guests russian rockets destroyed his house to the foundation on july 28 actually he was born on the 25th they recorded the 28th i celebrate on the day of the navy although it is not popular now, but i am old-fashioned anatolii mykhailovych in the days of the soviet union, he sailed on a ship as a sailor, he is from donetsk, but he fell in love with a girl from chernihiv and moved to the suburbs in the 70s chernigov all his life he earned money for the house anatoly and never thought that he would become

homeless in his old age, the man was most shocked that he did not even lose his home, but that it was russia that attacked ukraine, a sensitive person, everything passes through the heart, especially in old age, the nervous system is shaken emotions, when he starts to talk about it, he can this is ugly for a man, the biggest free heart why did the russians betray us so much but we will survive here there was such a mess sorry for the word mess but people came and helped clean everything up one of the most active of volunteers chernihiv local designer oksana dekhtyarenko. they often visit the affected neighbors. thanks to her activity, it was possible to purchase several modular houses for the old women from the new village thanks to volunteer donations. oksana visits her wards almost every week to bring fresh food and support communication. i said that i will help until i drop and i already have, if i'm honest. it's already on the verge of starting the pass again with buns. i brought it and

saw how people needed help because a lot of people left and a lot of people left not because they left the old women there, but because they did not want to leave their homes , please. for 82-year-old natalya ivanivna, the products that oksana brings are the only source of food. let's try some bread. the russians also turned the old woman's household into a incinerator. the house was evacuated to the shore. the cow was still in the trash . i drove her out. i already drove her out. i burned my hands with galoshes. there was a good inferno. everything is on fire. i’m trying to figure out what’s going there, and then she already

came. they won’t start from april. woman i lived with my son in a greenhouse for tomatoes, and since last month i moved to a modular house . we live well. oh, a nice house. thank you for the sleds, we have two. oh, and we already like selizeh. lives when people come. oksana takes care of the residents of chernihiv villages, despite the fact that her own the house was also attacked by the russian invaders, at that time she left for western ukraine with her husband and 14-year-old son. the woman was afraid that the russians would shoot her and her family because of her patriotic stance and active resistance. there was very heavy shelling in these very areas, ah, well, the house was damaged, the car was damaged, we ran away under the automatic lines under the fire because the russian troops had already entered the veselivka and they wrote to me in a message that oksana tikai because

i was a little bit of a fire adjuster, collected information and gave oksana tikai told me that they went to the houses of one family in novoselivka and even shot them. the family returned only after the armed forces of ukraine expelled the occupiers from oksana from chernihiv region immediately saw that a russian rocket had hit the roof of a house that still remains unrepaired due to lack of money and time. however, the russians damaged not only the household but also oksana's business. before the war, she successfully worked as a fashion designer and had her own production. according to her work, that it is simply generally wet, that they got through a damaged roof, she destroyed all the fabrics and decorations prepared for sewing, the woman estimates her losses from russia at hundreds of thousands of dollars honestly a lot of otsa otsa one workshop a
