the price of putin's ambitions look like our correspondents returned from the estuary freed from the russians and ukraine begins the battle for the sympathy of africa foreign minister kuleba went on a ten-day tour double drone attack on the bila tserkva at night the russians attacked the city with iranian kamikaze drones, they did not officially confirm this, but numerous photos and videos and messages on the network indicate that the target of the attack was a military unit, the place of permanent deployment of the 72nd separate mechanized brigade of the armed forces of ukraine, in the photo

that was released after lunch, you can see the destruction of buildings behind the white fence surrounding the military unit, the local authorities officially reported only one injured civilian, or are there any injured among the military, it is unknown the forces of the armed forces of ukraine say that they shot down six out of 12 drones over ukraine at night, spokesman yuriy ignat says that the difficulty in destroying such drones is that they fly en masse and the radar can see them as one target, while in fact there are several of them at once the armed forces of ukraine began to liberate settlements in the luhansk region. this was reported by the head of the luhansk regional military administration, serhii gaidai . he did not name the specific names of the liberated settlements. but in his previous in a message on social networks, he wrote that for the first time in the months of the war, he visited belohorivka, a village in the lysichan urban community of the north donets district of the luhansk region. he

added that today the people who need to start humanitarian aid can be seen on video being unloaded, neither the russian side nor the ukrainian military leadership, the notification of the liberation of populated areas did not comment on luhansk region, but the president commented on the liberation of dozens of settlements in the last week in kherson region, kharkiv region, luhansk region, donetsk region volodymyr zelenskyi of ukraine, the most dynamic ukrainian army is advancing in the south on different sections of the front, it was possible to go deeper from 10 to 20 km. zelenskyi said that the russian army is suffering more and more losses, and the mobilized russians are not prepared for combat operations in ukraine and of course we will talk about what is happening on the fronts in the coming days and weeks and now i want to look more at the human price, the human dimension

of these putin ambitions, so the correspondents visited liman one of the first to visit there the bbc film crew warns some shots in the story of elena can upset, even shock the now liberated land ukraine is returning its territory it maintains momentum but among the ruins victory can look bleak further a journey into heartbreak and here among the forest of horrors of war along the road evidence of the human cost of russia's defeat bodies of the dead soldiers are still where they lay ukrainian volunteers take care of fallen russians trying to help identify the remains of unknown soldiers in vladimir putin's war left behind during the retreat of his troops once this

there were someone's husbands whose sons are a few steps away soviet book for teenagers and series adventure library and something else russian troops left barely visible anti-tank mines of the dead put in body bags the war is finally over for them iryna here is evidence not only of battles but also of a desperate attempt by russian troops run away here on the road all the time, underwear, backpacks , russian army uniforms and boots, all this was left by the russian troops, what happened here is not

just the defeat of president putin, it is completely last friday's humiliation, he announced to the whole world that he is annexing the territory, including the estuary, which will forever be russia, and looking at the fact that a completely different picture is emerging around here, especially from the trophy russian tank, we will win. i feel very good, great, but the estuary may never be the same once upon a time, these now deserted streets were home to 20,000 people throughout the city. pro-russian graffiti, including the ussr. elena and her ten-year-old son rodion are looking for water and hope that their wanderings are over . the most difficult thing was to survive this one the most difficult thing was to survive the bombardment shells were

exploding sitting in the basement we both prayed while we were sitting in the basement we did not eat regularly and could not even make tea the questions alone were regular rodion was deprived of school and learned the lessons of war well war is very bad because the war is very bad because people are dying, that's why the population is decreasing. how are you feeling now? well, it's calmer in our hearts until six o'clock from the outskirts of the city. ukrainian troops are heading for new battles. they know what to advance it is necessary to quickly, soon the cold war can slow down their advance and today the russian president signed laws that provide for the annexation of four partially occupied ukrainian regions

, none of the regions is fully controlled by russian troops, now putin is being told that these de-occupied territories of ukraine will be seized again - these are the words of the secretary, by the way russian karmanovych dmytro piskov was asked by journalists whether there are any contradictions between putin 's words that the accepted territories with russia are forever quotes yes, and with the fact that russian troops are retreating from some territories in the current state of things , it is actually difficult to understand how russia will be able to return the territories won by the ukrainians and lost in manpower, equipment and morale, they are simply stunning. meanwhile, the ukrainian forces radiate confidence, well, i will mention one more detail in this context, the results of all referendums, respectively, the change of russia's borders has not been recognized by any country except russia, and the dprk has become the dprk, but the european union has agreed to a new package in response

sanctions on russia will further restrict oil exports and access to technology. this will be the eighth package of sanctions. it was finalized today at the level of ambassadors in the european union. they do not rule out that at the last moment some country may change its mind, but in general, the package is ready for signing, which is included in this new package of sanctions will be officially announced tomorrow, the bloomberg agency, referring to its sources in the european union, writes, among other things, that it is talking about price restrictions for the sale of russian oil to third countries, in addition to borel's words of the high representative, it follows that the sanctions will affect russia's access to western technologies, in particular, the import of electronic components, aviation equipment, chemicals, this will actually make it impossible for the effective functioning of the russian military industry. and one more message before we discuss all this together together with the expert. the united states informed a about

providing ukraine with a new package aid for 625 million dollars, this became known after the telephone conversation of us president joe biden with ukrainian president zelensky, in the conversation she also took the participation of us vice president mala harris during the conversation, the us president emphasized that the united states will never recognize russia's attempts to announce in ukrainian territory, and this is stated in the message of the white house. president biden also emphasized that the united states will continue to support ukraine quote as much as a new portion of american aid is needed, providing ukraine with weapons and equipment , including the miheimers system, artillery systems and ammunition. social networks are talking about the provision of additional four systems let ammunition for them and artillery systems and armored vehicles and now i am happy to introduce the guests of our today's air orysya lutsevich, an international expert er, an activist of the

ukrainian forum in the chat there is chaos er, i congratulate you and let's start from what happened today, i understand that from moscow's point of view, the annexation is formally complete, we know that for kyiv it does not change anything for the european union, great britain, the united states - it changes something well, in the west they analyze it as a kind of farce and such a performance specifically for the russian audience, because we see that all this is happening against the background of mobilization, this mobilization is actually very difficult, and that is why putin organized this entire annexation in the west. we hear that these territories will never be recognized as russian. and that the most interesting thing is that neither the united states nor great britain nor the european union will deter the ukrainian armed forces from counteroffensive in the reconquest of ukrainian territory.

that a nuclear state has annexed a part of the territory , called it its own, and now they say that it is ready to defend it with the use of nuclear weapons, this is a farce, the most terrible irony is also that ukraine is a state that gave up nuclear weapons, and now it is threatened with nuclear weapons, of course, no one will behave on nuclear blackmail and actually the actions and statements of the russian top leadership from medvedev to putin are perceived as nuclear blackmail in the west, military experts understand that nuclear weapons actually have power precisely in the threat of use and not at the very moment of use , therefore, we see very clear statements, in particular from the united states, that they clearly communicated to the russian delegation about the consequences that will have in the case of, say, the use of any type of nuclear weapon, as well as the provision of

air defense assistance to ukraine itself. mers who will also be able to predict or restrain certain e-e threats related to nuclear e-e security here i would like to share the official statements of politicians who , including, work for the electrode and the discussion in expert environment you also take part in a large number of discussion forums and so on and i 'm sure you hear er and now these voices sound very, very loudly about the fact that it is necessary to agree on the fact that the world cannot die in a nuclear er winter yes and about the fact that yesterday musk yes, the voice of this part of this part of the expert environment became very bright, elon musk is not an expert, he should be better occupied with the occupation of mars and not help to buy ukraine. as you they said that ukraine should

end this war at the expense of ukraine, it is marginal, in fact, there are such voices of these realpolitik people, as it is called, of the mearsheimer type, er, it is a losharapa, in the united states, in great britain, there are very few such voices. and strategically, we must understand what is in the anti-putin coalition that works for a result in which ukraine must win this war and russia must lose, and the more russia uses nuclear blackmail, the more there is, let's say, a strategic vision of why this should be the case the result is because no one wants the world to descend into some kind of nuclear armageddon, then countries like north korea, iran, and others will threaten the whole world with nuclear weapons. he wants to talk about another blackmail. you will speak for us. what else is coming? they are already starting to pay for electricity for gas, and this can be a very serious social disruption, which

will then force politicians to change their minds. this is definitely taken into account, and we can see the politics of the new prime minister of great britain, for example reducing this burden on families where people receive subsidies. by the way, unlike ukrainians and subsidies, almost everyone is affected by the reduction of their payments, and these budget deficits, which economists are discussing with their own, are partly related to brexit and the increase in energy prices. all politicians are taking to attention and they want to support their households so that this load is as small as possible. i don't think they are afraid, but they understand the responsibility and they are, on the one hand, reserves. i personally am not afraid. i think that let's say the worst, er, the worst burden that has already been taken on the economy is in terms of expectations. and they are offended by the price, and then there is the question

of preparation. this winter in general. brussels so that there will be power cuts in the european union. i wonder how the europeans will feel in december or january, who will surely face a power cut for the first time in a decade. but in this context, the speech itself was very important macron and in the un general assembly and to the one who said that we must pay a price and this price applies to everyone because this is the freedom of the european continent and this is already my change in the rhetoric of the leaders of the european countries themselves to explain to the citizens of france or great britain why this winter is actually worth the winter, let's say gather yourself up and survive thank you very much for the explanation orysya lutsevich the head of the ukrainian forum and hmm chat chaos thank you for finding the time to join us and let's talk about our one more topic chairman shevchenko's wing of the national bank of ukraine submitted

a request for resignation to the development of the president of ukraine. shevchenko emphasizes that he considers his mission at the bank accomplished despite the fact that his term of office has not yet ended. and here's what he wrote about health-related reasons that i can't ignore in the future i made a difficult decision for myself, i am leaving the position of head of the nbu, this is how he is quoted on the website of the national bank, he also believes that the nbu and his team passed the exam with dignity, the vote for the resignation of shevchenko's wing may take place this thursday, this was reported by the deputy the head of the financial committee of the parliament yaroslav zheleznyak on social networks, but here it is worth mentioning that in july the head of the nbu spoke against the extension of the mission of the hryvnia, which in his opinion, in his opinion, will increase price inflation and undermine confidence in the hryvnia and in the current government. shevchenko then predicted that high inflation could quickly devalue ukrainians' savings income and benefits

are received only by the owners well, for example, currencies, exporters of goods, services and so on, so what is in reality behind the resignation of the head of the national bank, what is generally happening in the ukrainian economy, what there will be more with the exchange rate of the dollar and the euro, let's talk about it just now in more detail with us in connection with kyiv , director of the economic strategy center hleb vyshlinskyi a-a i congratulate you do you believe the entire official reason for the resignation or could there be a conflict between the nbu and the government in everything the president is simply by the way, a number of ukrainian snakes are already directly writing, citing sources, congratulations ah, well, with such a formal reason as the state of health, it is very difficult to discuss anything, because no one except shevchenko's wing, his relatives and doctors knows what the situation is actually and the

issue of dissatisfaction in the president's office was discussed in the summer, but on the other hand, formally, we did not see any criticism from the president himself, nor the heads of his office, nor the prime minister from e- about the activities of the national bank already during the period of martial law, and the other question is that, um, somehow it all unfolds a little quickly and a little out of time. and the chairman of the national bank, it is hardly so unexpected er, a situation that develops quickly and it seems a little strange to me that everything is actually resolved within a few days, well, that is, if the problem is with

health, if it is a problem that cannot be ignored , then in this situation, i would still like it to be reported in advance, as even during the war , such good principles of management of large organizations should be followed, when in some time it would be announced that the head of the national bank a should leave the position. unfortunately, the politicians should thank him for really very high quality the work done, first of all, in the first month of aggression, which prevented the financial crisis in ukraine , the president should have announced his choice of successor in advance, which eh, which eh, would have been submitted to the verkhovna rada, this successor could have declared his principles was presented formally and informally to our international partners because next week the

meetings of the imf and the world bank begin. the international monetary fund and the national bank, the head of the national bank, are key here because they represent ukraine in the international monetary fund. in fact, next week we have to go to washington. and today our international partners do not even know who will represent the national bank of ukraine in a week and these negotiations are actually important because the actual financing by the international monetary fund of a country in a state of war where it is impossible to predict the economic situation for the following years is such a very non-trivial challenge for the imf . well, actually, yes, i would like to talk about this ratio or balance. we understand that we understand what is happening in the economy

of ukraine. international aid, but if you look at the figures of the aid that comes, it does not cover this deficit, how much is there, how does the situation look, is it critical, is it tolerable, has the shock passed and now is the economy being rebuilt? were reorganized into a military regime, and in the economic decline, which this year is estimated to be about a third, compared to last year, the reduction compared to last year is a component of the occupied territories, and here the direct influence will actually be from the speed to occupation, from the format of deoccupation , to what extent will they be physical assets in these territories are destroyed when these assets will be able to bring uh, in particular, income to the

budget . the reduction of budget revenues leads to the appearance of a budget deficit - 5 billion, this is recognized by the international monetary fund, in particular, the assessment of the ukrainian world's need for financing. the same monthly budget deficit is planned for the year, and it is expected that international financing should amount to at least 3 billion dollars per month for the remaining three months of this year owed to international partners is a delay in financing from the european union, but in general

, the volumes related are sufficient to cover this budget deficit, but what concerns not next year, here the situation is very uncertain at 1.5 billion per month, according to unofficial information, the united states is ready to finance according to the same mechanism as it is happening this year, these are essentially grants from the us budget, but the situation is still unclear, how will the european union finance this budget deficit, as if that's why ukraine is a candidate member of the eu, but it still cannot determine a clear mechanism from where to get this money , and accordingly, the program of the international monetary fund is here a very important safeguard, a tool of the authorities in order for ukraine to have a sufficient amount of financing, because the imf is essentially such a printing press of the last instance in the world economy, which in case of any

problems can always provide extraordinary credit financing, thank you very much, thank you, director of the economic strategy center, gleb vyshlenskyi a-a gathered with what is happening in the economy and the national bank of ukraine well, let's talk more about geopolitics, but let's look at the side that is often overlooked by the media and politicians and what to hide the experts as well, but it is becoming critically important and for the next few minutes i , together with one e well, as a colleague, i will try to convince you of this. so, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine went on a grand 10-day tour of african countries in the geopolitical context, part of the global rooster, one of the tasks is to prepare the ground for the big conference, zelenskyy has another thing to try to hinder russia, which so far feels quite confident there and is actively playing on the african continent. they are trying to regain political and economic influence for ukraine, and this is also possible

new allies and partners and sales markets and opportunities to put pressure on moscow, in other words, the direction of strategic and i am joined by my colleague who follows the visit of kuleba to the american continent, georgy erman. congratulations to my colleague. by the way, not just a colleague, not just a journalist, zhora, but also a good connoisseur of africa in particular, and i hope that now together we will help to convince everyone why this trip of the ukrainian minister should be followed only by an expert. congratulations, i wonder what this visit can change, kuleba, in the attitude of african countries to the war between russia and ukraine, well, first of all, dmytro kuleba will try to convince african leaders because it is necessary to continue the pressure on russia in order to continue to operate the black sea grain corridor and it is thanks to this corridor that grain is exported to african countries, this allows reduce prices and reduce hunger, which

has already appeared in some african countries , secondly, secondly, the second purpose of the visit is to convince the country of the region that russia uses rather hypocritical and cynical rhetoric when it says that it supports the anti-colonial forces, actually conducts an imperialist policy, a colonial policy towards ukraine, they are trying to destroy ukraine as a state, and all this actually looks very similar to the policy that the colonial empires conducted towards the countries of africa in the 19th century, in the 20th century, and so on of course, there is also an economic topic in this visit, i.e. ukraine now wants to develop economic cooperation with africa and to provide its advanced technologies in terms of digitization, this is very relevant for africa in terms of agricultural development, i.e. now africa has seen how important it is to have its own self-sufficiency

agriculture is a very interesting region for ukrainian agricultural companies, and of course it is the field of education, and if ukraine used to be interesting for african students in terms of medical education, it education, technological education, i think that after the war, a lot of african military will also be interested in the knowledge of the ukrainian army, and this will constitute a-and also one of such springboards for cooperation with african countries. that is, it is profitable both politically and economically, none remains literally one and a half minutes as far as it is the personal visit of kuleba that can change regional sympathies. and in which regions exactly is his fist why exactly there for one and a half minutes at most, then she will be in five countries during this democratic states have been visited, and two countries have already been visited - this is senegal, côte d'ivoire, senegal

- this is a country in the triangle of the african union, the presiding country, and this country has a very large diplomatic influence on the situation in the region . makisalem and that is, it is makisalam that articulates the position of the african continent in this conflict and it really began to shift in favor of ukraine, that is, the resistance of ukraine, e-e, russia, the successes that are taking place on the front and uh, africa understands that ukraine will continue to resist this aggression and it is necessary to put some pressure on moscow so that this war is stopped . security because there are pro-russian military juntas nearby in west africa in

such countries as maliburka on the facade and for example in mali, the local junta is holding captive a few dozen soldiers from this country, peacekeepers , that is, this country has already felt what it is is the influence of russia in africa and of course it has begun yes, we will monitor how it happens correspondent from all georgiy erman thank you for your time that's all for today take care
