will not be recognized as an answer, there should also be a strengthening of comprehensive support for ukraine, lawyers say aggression, our allies to dust their support for ukraine, especially with weapons and new weapons systems that they promised to provide to those who have not yet promised and with sanctions, the sooner ukraine receives it, the sooner the war will end, announcing mobilization and support of the so-called referendums , president putin vaguely hinted at the readiness to use nuclear weapons, experts note the use of a nuclear trump card, the old soviet method, we already experienced this during the cuban missile crisis crises and the position of the united states was a failure they simply outplayed the russians the russians are a good bluff they use bluff and arrogance to reinforce a very very weak position this whole story is a potemkin village they create something fake

and then pass it off as real they have been doing this for at least 100 years now it is they who do with nuclear weapons, of course, the danger of nuclear weapons cannot be dismissed. the united states has sent a very clear signal of russia's use of even tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield in ukraine will have a catastrophic response from the usa and the western allies and it is right to deliver public and private messages to leave strategic ambiguity this is very important besides the effectiveness of all conventional weapons raises the question and what is their nuclear arsenal that it even works it is true one nuclear warhead is enough to ugh, but they haven't tested it in the air for dozens of years, they don't even know if it works, except that the russian commanders will follow the command of their commander-in-chief. but if the nuclear weapons will be used, this will mean the complete isolation of russia, the complete collapse of the economy and the departure

from it of even the so-called transaction partners of turkey and china nataliya lounova oleksiy osika - voice of america on this we will say goodbye, have a peaceful night and a peaceful weekend until we meet, so that ukrainians don't think about about not talking about the first place still comes out war war and our victory seven days a week from monday to monday seven different spheres of human activity sports culture politics eight presenters espresso journalists, experts, opinion leaders in real time about the most relevant events through the prism of war every day, author's projects on espresso

, politics, economy, culture, sports, technologies, this is what the news looked like until february 24, 2022, today there is one topic that is relevant: war for the sake of information security and comprehensive coverage of the situation in the country, see broadcasts of our espresso news channel and euro espresso programs for ukrainian refugees in europe joint broadcast with the atn channel radio svoboda programs time-time voice programs america's inclusion of public television journalists, bbc news ukraine and france 24, as well as the broadcast of the informational marathon, the only news, together we are the force, glory to ukraine joins the community with a ukrainian view of the world, become a sponsor of the youtube channel espresso and this is

access to exclusive content - personal thanks fixed comments special icons and the possibility of personal communication with the espresso team, click to sponsor and become part of the community with a ukrainian perspective. congratulations, i ask for a few minutes of your attention and i hope that you help us in the search, please look carefully at the face of this girl, her name is vika koroleva, she is 14 years old. she went missing in the bakhmatsky district of the donetsk region, in the urban-type village of novoluhansk, vika disappeared together with her mother and her younger sister, unfortunately, we do not have a photo of her, almost no information just know that vika's sister is only four years old, and this is a photo of vika koroleva's mother, her

name is anna koroleva, an 87- year-old woman, it is not excluded that even more likely, vika is with her little sister together with her mother, but where they are right now is unknown . however, there are some assumptions that the village of novoluhansk is now occupied by russians, and vika koroleva disappeared just when the military was on the approach and hostilities began there. of course, i really hope that the girl is alive and well, and i assume that like most mobile communications are jammed in russian-occupied cities and towns, and ukrainian mobile operators there either do not work at all or with serious interruptions, so it is quite likely that vika and her mother simply do not have the opportunity to notify about myself, by the way, due to the lack of communication, it was recently possible to find nastya okopova, who disappeared in the then

still occupied izyum of the kharkiv region. herself precisely because there was no mobile communication in the occupied territory, it is jamming and she was able to call because somewhere on the wing of their house there if i, like you, pick up the phone, i can catch the connection for a few minutes, so we are excluded that in the same vika koroleva also found herself in the situation, but it is clear that this is only a version of her. vika can be anywhere in the village or even abroad, so i am asking for your help in the search and please look carefully at the photos. she is 14, 150-155 cm tall, a thin girl has long and fair hair and yet i would especially like to appeal to the residents of the temporarily occupied settlement of novoluhansk. it is clear that ukrainian tv is not broadcast in the occupation, but if you suddenly see this program on the internet, you at least know something about fate

vika koroleva and you have the opportunity to call or go online, please inform us on our hotline by short number 116 000 or you can write the bot of the child tracing service in telegram without exaggeration, even the smallest information can help us find vika koroleva now most of the children who are wanted are children who were lost due to the war in the occupation in places where hostilities are taking place or during evacuation, but at the same time, which was in the pre-war period and beyond. unfortunately , children disappear in particular in peaceful territories and because the reasons are not related to the war and a child can get lost at any time and anywhere, for example in a public place, so here are some important tips for parents, please explain to your child if he is lost there are many people, you need to stand still and wait for the parents will also return, the child should find adults with a child

or an elderly woman among people and say that he is lost, but at the same time, in no case should you go anywhere with adults who offer to take the child to some other place, and the most important thing is not to the parents themselves panic ask the representatives of the administration if the child is lost in the institution to make an announcement over the loudspeaker go to the places where you last saw the child contact the police provide a photo and all the necessary information about the child also contact our hotline at 116 000 and we will advise you in detail as to act and that, first of all, it is necessary to do in such a situation, and of course i am asking you to help us in the search for children who, unfortunately, are lost and who, with your help, we can find on the website the child search service has photos of all the boys and girls who have gone missing, go to the website of the child search service look carefully and maybe you recognize someone, maybe you know something about these

children or where any of them may be, information please call a short free number from all mobile operators 116,000 or write to the child search chatbot service in telegram the security council actually stated the obvious and proposed to condemn russia's annexation of ukrainian territories to call on all the countries of the world do not recognize new according to the russian scenario, the status of these territories, as well as the demand for russia to immediately leave the territory of ukraine, 10 states voted for one country, russia against, and as a permanent member of

the un security council, she used her veto right , so this resolution was blocked. but the voting of those states that abstained is also interesting and these are four states: china, india, gabon, and brazil . they explained their vote like this: in general, they respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all states, including ukraine, but they say they advocate peace, and any confrontation, the creation of blocs, sanctions policies do not contribute to peace and do not lead to the negotiation table, that is why they say , but their vote was abstained, i repeat, did not affect the outcome of the vote, because the main thing here is russia, who blocked this resolution, as he said permanent representative of ukraine about the organization of the united nations serhiy kyslyts and today the audience was once again able to see that in reality the un as an organization is very weak precisely because russia, which arbitrarily seized the place of the permanent a member of the un security council, which belonged to the soviet

union, uses it in disregard of the norms of international law, then these resolutions will be submitted to the general assembly for consideration. well, and an adjective for the fact that the secretary general is antonio gotares, who after the signing of the grain agreement between russia, ukraine and turkey under the auspices of the un tried to be very restrained in his words in relation to russia, so as not to scare it away from this grain agreement in any way, he expressed himself very specifically, this is a violation of the un charter and should be condemned . territories of donetsk, luhansk, kherson and zaporizhzhia regions of

ukraine will have no legal value and must be condemned. i want to emphasize that the so-called referendums were held on the occupied territory under during an active military conflict outside the boundaries of ukrainian laws and the constitution, they cannot be considered a manifestation of the will of the people, any decision of russia to continue will further undermine the path to peace , he also needs to continue for all the minutes another meeting of the un security council, already convened by russia, at which the explosions on gas pipelines nord stream 1 and nord stream 2, and the permanent representative of russia has already almost openly accused the west of being involved in undermining, as he said, the critical infrastructure of belongs to russia and he used as an argument, for example, the fact that once in the summer the president of the united states, joe biden, said that if russia attacks ukraine, nord stream-2 will not work and he reminded europe that the

winter is long and cold ahead. they don't know how long it will take them to repair the blown-up lawns, this is such direct open blackmail. well, ah, in fact, all the states are talking about what they ca n't say out loud about that. and what caused this sabotage to this act sabotage on gas pumps yes, and sweden sent a letter to the un stating that the explosion was caused by an explosive weighing several hundred kilograms because it is a very complex technological object and it was impossible to destroy it just like that. and now this discussion is ongoing, but actually saying this gas russian blackmail and attempts to use gas as its traditional weapon it has a continuation and now we can observe it at the un security council thanks olya so

we will follow the news from the states and further and in us soon tsn of the united states olga koshelenko told us in particular about the unsuccessful attempt of the un security council to express its position on russia's attempt to annex new territories of ukraine, the resolutions were blocked by russia itself, meanwhile, ukrainian soldiers continue to set fire not only to enemy equipment, but also to social networks, the video has collected millions of views on various platforms dances of our defenders and with red lanterns to the accompaniment of cheerful music, a video was posted on his tik-tok channel by a soldier of one of the special units of the armed forces of ukraine, the author signed the video we your light in the dark under the post of thousands of comments in which people admire the creativity of the guys and thank them for their service

, we wish and thanks that we broke our hearts and even a small part of our huge gratitude to the defenders of ukraine, who cover each of us with themselves, let this night be quiet at the front and in all our cities and villages, we pray for this and prepare for a new day to continue to bring our victory closer step by step. glory to ukraine and see you again. the unconquered cities of ukraine are the cossack city of izyum, where one of the of the oldest buildings of the slobozhan region, the transfiguration

cathedral was the center of the famous raisin regiment here, the place did not survive the first famine thanks to the active struggle against pro-regimes in the second world war . the city twice found itself in the center of fierce battles today raisin again on the line of fire scorched and in the evening but ready to stand for victory raisin is a football stadium in in the city of irpin, a new generation of ukrainian football players used to train here . and now it has been abandoned because of the war. i know the goalkeeper protects the goal from the enemy's ball, but how do they

to protect from the enemy russian missile, i know that the fans can accept the player or not, but how can you accept this unbearable silence in the stands today, russia continues the war in ukraine, russian athletes continue to be silent, and this silence is silent support for terror, i appeal to everyone who is united by the love of sports, we we should not be silent, all of us, the entire democratic world, are a united team in the fight to defeat evil, share your posts with company hashtags and call for a boycott of russian athletes, support ukraine on to the sports fund, silence kills with the support

of the ministry of youth and sports of ukraine this is my country, my paulines, my friends, brothers, parents, children, neighbors , students, doctors, teachers, warriors. seas opened a new page of infrastructural terrorism on the planet and actually started a new stage of putin's war against the whole world in a harsh winter. it seems that

these threats have moved into the practical plane and the destruction of gas mains in fact for tens of billions of dollars, and you know, all this reminds me of the phrase yes, no, you are nobody, but was europe scared and what consequences could these explosions have for russia itself, and could europe's inevitable path to energy independence push putin to such a sabotage and in general, after all, putin is, well, the questions are important and interesting, so they should be discussed in the night shift at 1+1 in the studio yevhen plinsky, my name is nataliya ostrovska and our guest. thank you for visiting yuriy korolchuk, director of the institute of energy strategies, thank you, here is the first question , let's briefly explain for the audience what is nord stream one, nord stream-2, what strategic goals did they have, why were they built and

why are they important, special that we pay so much attention to them, that people simply understood what we were talking about well, the first nord stream, the second nord stream, which would have been built, the actual construction was completed last year. high-tech projects by the way , they are high-tech because we don't actually have one point where the gas comes in and another point where the gas comes out, that is, there are no additional compression stations between them, as on land, where the gas is pumped , here we have only one specific station that is actually carried out all the work and plus, as it were , a pipe that lies under water. yes, there are also special pipes. one factory in russia produced such pipes. the second one is for this very project and the second one is in austria. well, in principle, that this is something so unusual is not possible. that is, this is the first point, it is

purely technical. a gas transportation system was built, which goes, including through ukraine, today europe is supplied with gas by belarus belarus, the network was bought by gazprom, that is, it even belongs to gazprom , the ukrainian gas supply system is also polish i had europe, it is already more modern, it is actually already on the verge of the collapse of the soviet union and it was already being completed, in fact, after 1991, and in fact, this russia really had to take these transit countries, that is, not to pay for transit, not to be dependent, say, on of political changes, perhaps from economic changes, and here are the bypass gas pipelines, perhaps you have also heard that one of the first such gas pipelines is running. it was called the blue flow, it will be exactly 20 years old. just this one, it is going to turkey, but it was such a test by the way, although it also went along the bottom of the black sea, it was also a trial at that time, it was a super-high-tech project, therefore, in principle, the

goal is really to get rid of transit countries, including ukraine, in the future, in principle, what i saw things to reduce the trident of meetings with ukraine and to switch let's say to direct contact with europe with turkey with the countries that receive gas actually on well basically it's the european continent plus turkey well let's say to not have direct intermediaries to influence the client where to have direct contact with him , that is the main goal, and on the other hand, at the same time, it is necessary to understand that, in principle, they are powerful gas pipelines, they are each 55 billion cubic meters, in reality they can pump more, even up to 65 , that is, there are such sest-loopings that can be used specifically technically it is possible, it is not dangerous, that is, roughly speaking, 65.165, the second - 130 and the southern stream, as it was once called, then the turkish stream was transformed, which, by the way, works first - the first two threads previously there were 30 30 by the tail of billions, that is, but it is so in the very 64th , that is, in total, two flows, they had to close in general the need for almost 180 billion cubic meters of gas, this is the entire

french gas transportation system, what is its capacity ? that is, well, the urengol field and through them this gas went mainly through ukraine, and roughly speaking at the entrance we could get 220 billion at the exit up to 140 billion, that is, it was not the right moment; roughly speaking, in the 80s, it was like this for europe, 140 billion today, europe is in principle dealing with the crisis, with the transition to alternative sources, etc., and so on. other energy technologies, let's say , gas saving technologies appeared, so they came out 150 billion . now there is a global crisis, they can calmly consume 180-200 billion cubic meters, this was the plan, this was the plan. therefore, these are all three gas pipelines to one sea . replacing the ukrainian transit with the belarusian transit

because belarus actually passes through poland , the pipeline through poland was stopped, and in principle the poles also took the position that they did not want to buy russian gas, they said then that the transit pipe should not be used, and the russians had this position, that's why, in principle, they are needed for europe. they didn't build them just for fun, you know, often such an opinion floats around that they built it there, and they threw away 20 billion dollars there and that's it. no, there was no specific goal. just to even earn money, of course, but actually , well, to have close economic ties, yes, someone can call it that, and we often hear about the influence there, corruption, there is something else, you know, different opinions, but the fact is that in any case, in such economic relations give all these moments they are present yes yes yes yes we see it this is such a connection where it existed of course when we see if accidents on these gas pipelines yes then well this is actually if a cross can be put on such cooperation that was planned by this well earlier let's say so well and now to the explosions specifically, what is known today, what are the technical characteristics, what do they indicate, well, first of all, look

, first of all, we are. well, unfortunately or fortunately, we do not have this information at the moment, because gas is coming out, gas is coming out of the pipe, eh, approximately well, there is a total somewhere two to two billion dollars of gas well, if you count by the price there, $2,000. well, although it is such a figure, it is more significant if the contract price is $2,400. there is less gas, the cost, yes, that is, you can roughly say that this gas will be released for a week, and then only the rescue services, everyone gets access to the place of the accident, it will be clear what the scale of this accident is. well, in principle, everyone immediately began to lean towards let's say that this is a certain explosion, so man-made, yes. is it explosives or some kind of underwater drone they call it an underwater drone there, it might be because, well, no one really remembers such an accident, it didn't happen, you just understand, that is, all we can compare is mexico, it's tosi, there was an accident like that once, well, it's not a wind tower, there was an accident, and an oil rig ecological conjuncts, you are ahead of it, you see,

they are very educated in environmental issues, that is, uh, well, if it was still important, the heat was really a problem, too, something was pouring in, well, let's say the well that was drinking was damaged, but the oil leak occurred, and in fact, it was then simply eliminated i am interested in how the baltic sea can now be affected by this catastrophe. it does not exist at all. ecology is considered to be carbon -free if there is, for example, nuclear today. even so, there are no carbon emissions. renewable energy sources, er, gas, in principle , it is so minimal, that is, it has minimal discharges, and therefore the fact that it just went into the air, so it will certainly have an effect. that is, roughly speaking, the co2 indicators there will increase in some way, they do not say that it is critical there will affect even the er-e of these on there on the fauna that is there because it is as if they were alive who are you living there too by the way, when they were building it was always one of the key issues there , everyone and the russians by the way, they could not object to anything if the legislation they are all before this followed, i.e., went to meet there, there are different fish there, er, they are caught, then, in principle

, i cannot say that this will cause such significant environmental damage, that is, maybe we will see further because, first of all, it is not known which, how which will be t- when the gas will stop in er, it will stop yes, of course yes , pumping it in, no, no, they stopped the technological one, and the first one in the northern stream, the first one that was already working, there was simply the gas that, roughly speaking, stopped, that is, when it stopped being pumped , there is still gas, technological gas. it the same gas can be used and burned, it is useful so simply. this is the question. what is it ? you know the investment of the owner of this pipe so that he actually bought this gas and pumped it in so that later it could be started to function. and what does this pipe look like technically and how it is protected, that is, it is difficult for me to imagine how at a depth of 50-100 there, 150 m there, well, ask the pipe what it should be in order for it to be protected from the action of the sea, from accidents there, some earthquakes from something, but technically, what does it look like? do you know

you can find this on youtube, you can watch it there. i think it’s in our store. no, i’m not kidding . in fact, there is no such thing on youtube, because it’s already in debt , but in principle, if it’s also so that the audience would understand, the technology of building and laying a pipe under the sea is, first of all, small there. the depth there is er 190 m. that is, it is very deep in the black sea, for example, it is 2 km deep there. well, there it is less than 1.5 km, and you went along the ridges, but it is still great depths, even 90 meters, for me, it is a great depth, so it is digging there a trench is a pipe metal 4 cm thick steel, er, it is a special steel, which, let's say, has a minimal risk of corrosion , and plus it is filled with a concrete coat on top, which is called a concrete pillow. that is, roughly speaking, there is more than 10 cm, that is, in principle, this is the basis, well, to talk about what it is the pipe can last there for more than 100 years, for example, indeed. well, of course, there are annual inspections. by the way, prevention is always stopped. well,

they always stop. and during this period, by the way , gas transit increased through ukraine. it was indicative that, in principle, there was always an important route through ukraine, and in principle, in this way, if they laid it, they laid it, and well, let's say it like that. that it is absolutely protected, where was it? well, for example, the ship does not fall on it. would not harm the pipe yes, it is not possible, that is, it would have caused damage, but it would hardly have been like that. well, let's say this. what we saw now is what is really there. how do we imagine that the pipe just broke? that is, she is so whole, she just unfolded it like that. well, someone can take a small tube at home and tear it open and look. yes, to at least visualize it. therefore, for now, i say until we see, but i think we will see photos and videos, it will be provided to everyone because there will also be european, i.e. german, danish e-e services, regulators, all the companies that built this gas pipeline that were financed more precisely, i.e. german,

french, dutch, e-e, austrian, russian gazprom will also be there e-e norms, the second company all the representatives are called, they all receive information, but in general, nothing like that, on the one hand, there are no attached submarine gas pipelines, but on the other hand, it is simple, of course, their maintenance. you know what, they actually stop for two years for such a serious prevention, because without it, you can’t inspect the pipe from the outside, er, the outside is meant to be washed from above and from the inside, as well as sand. in principle, this is a normal process about the versions of the explosions are now being actively written all over the world, we have analyzed several leading editions of the guardian, the times and cnn, and let's see what versions they consider, referring to their international experts, the garden writes, referring to experts, that mines could have been installed on the pipes, which installed
