[000:00:00;00] it is very difficult to move from below and actually approach the tick there, because there is an open territory of 6 kilometers, so i think that, in my opinion, bakhmut is quite capable of keeping this russian on the attack and further grinding the enemy's forces. thank you, i was in direct contact in the village of zhoritsy with the studio, our military expert is the director of information and consulting of the new defense express company. thank you for your participation, mr. sergiu . we remember all the military and civilians who died in the russian-ukrainian war, we will observe a moment of silence in memory of the ukrainian military and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died

heat, this is what air force spokesman yuriy hnat thinks , according to him, the iranian drone can really be hindered by non-flying weather, namely gusty and gusty storm winds and conditions that lead to icing of the device, i.e. a sharp transition from temperature plus to minus at the same time, it is unknown why russia did not use for several weeks, these are drones, however, the low temperature cannot be considered as a factor not to use these aircraft by the aggressor , the ukrainian military will resume active counteroffensive actions when the weather permits, then the ground will freeze and this will facilitate the passage of equipment, noted minister of defense oleksiy reznikov, he recalled ukraine's plan to liberate all temporarily occupied territories for borders as of 1991, at the same time, reznikov noted that the russians continue to fight with the

self-propelled type of the armed forces and their main the bearer of power is intended mainly for hostilities on land from february 24 and until now, these soldiers , together with their comrades, are courageously resisting the aggressor who is currently interested in the independence of our state, this is all that i have time to talk about, read more news on the espresso tv website, a brief summary of the main points on the telegram channel espresso tv news and the most interesting information on the youtube channel espresso.tv subscribe to the social network, set favorites and have a ukrainian view of the world let's see how people living with rheumatism and arthrosis is changing, isn’t it? i smeared dolgit this morning. now let the dolgit cream relieve pain, reduce

real time about the most relevant events through the lens of war, every day, author's projects on espresso. need a lot of things and that is why part of my life today - this is help to the armed forces of ukraine, did i, the author and host of television projects, think that i would have to understand such things like thermal imagers, generators, quadcopters, could i, a mother of three children, imagine that just like knowing the principle of operation of a diaper, i would understand the difference between an active and passive night vision device, did my wife know that i would buy my husband not shirts for work, but bertie and tactical glasses i didn’t know, but since 2014 i had to

economic sciences. congratulations, mr. ivan. congratulations , mr. igor. congratulations, ms. khrystyna and our e-e viewers. well, bloomberg e-e publishes the following material: restrictions on the import of russian oil to the european union have recently been painfully hit on russia's oil revenues, the white house previously feared that the eu sanctions on russian oil, which came into force on december 5, would lead to a sharp increase in the price of energy carriers, which caused particular concern a ban on logistics insurance and financial services for the transportation of russian oil by tankers, in order to mitigate the consequences, it was proposed to set the upper limit of its price at the level of $60 per barrel, but the eu sanctions not only did not create a shortage of oil, but also led to oversaturation of the markets, which in principle is good news for us, as well as for our partners, as it looks now, this is actually the first week after

the introduction of the oil embargo. well, after the introduction of the oil embargo, you know, there were indeed such fears , even some of our domestic media wrote about the fact that after prague, oil prices began to rise, in fact, the situation was completely the opposite, that is, several factors came into play, that is, this pricescape was introduced, but it is parallel to that in the opec countries, which had previously agreed to reduce oil production. the decision that they stop reducing oil production, that is, leave it at the level it was, that is, this factor of pressure on prices, as a reduction in the production of countries-gav so it is no longer there was a second moment that happened during this period, this is the rise of a-a fears about the economic development of

china. so, if there are problems in china, it is a decrease in consumption. therefore, accordingly, prices also began to decrease for oil. and what do we have today, that is, if we look at the live torture of prices for the yurus brand, this is exactly russian oil, it is now sold at a price of approximately $52-53. that is, the price cap is 60, and the price is not even lower than price skam. and this applies to whether the price is too high or the price is really low, well, it is difficult to say why that when the price was introduced in general, the jurass cost 71 71 yes, that is, at that time it was absolutely legal, logically, but precisely because of the fact that these days at the beginning of december, the price dropped very rapidly , by the way, another factor that should be taken into account is

that a fraction of the price they are related to oil and gas, and gas prices in europe were especially high in august, $70 per british union, that is, gas is measured in so-called british thermal units on the markets. so, the price was $70 for one such union a today at least there were in the century, these prices halved to $35. in other words, it turns out that the price is falling there too, why it is falling because the european union during the summer and at the beginning of autumn bought everything possible in terms of gas on the world markets to fill its tank for today. as germany also reports and france, another economy of the eu, they have filled their tanks by 100%. that is, they have nowhere at all to put on this gas and the price for it is hedging.

even if without yur, let's talk about benchmarks brand brand brand apologizes for such a tautology so the price for it has also decreased and if at the end of november they were about $88 per password now the price is $76 per bank that is, at the beginning of this week we will see what it will be but precisely because of the fact that, in general, there is a tendency to lower world prices, this price cap, which then seemed more or less normal, now it must be lowered, and by the way, when it was established, it was stated separately that it will be revised in two months, i.e. in february, when it will be introduced. by the way, price sketch regarding oil products from russia will review this price and i hope that it will already be 50 or even recently here. the question is whether this prague price limit, this prague

price limit ceiling, causes any damage at all to the russian side i understand that they do not cause any damage and that it is profitable for them to trade even at 57, which means that there is some stock of their own chief so they are driving into this hay at what price at what price, conditionally speaking , it can be determined that they break even or even they are working there at a loss, what is the cost of production plus the transportation of this oil there to the border in russian for the available information - it is approximately $30. i.e. there is still a margin due to the reduction of the pricesket, i.e. for now this is a limitation of profits and not a loss in itself. but again, let's say this in ideal conditions, the price, because in fact, this is the real price. i mean the output is 0, it is higher . wear and tear, let's put it this way, of russia's oil production capacity, it cannot replace them because the sanctions are still

are working, and therefore if russia, let's imagine for a moment, stops oil production, it will not be able to restore it so easily, purely technically, because there are certain requirements of this process, and this is where there will be problems. well, for now, russia still receives a certain amount of profit, but i will also remind you that the main sales markets for russian oil are india and china. during the last period, india directly says that ok, we will buy oil from you, but if you give us a 70% discount. turkey has also recently done generally very an interesting proposal from russia that it will buy oil from it on the condition that a 25% discount is added, but this discount must be extended to the oil already purchased by russia during 2022, that is, the situation is completely unique when turkey

paid russia money for oil. and now turkey says that oh, come on, you you will tell us the price of the oil we bought from you and you will refund us the money for the oil we bought from you, that is, not only that turkey is professional, who demands money from russia for the oil they bought in russia is not bad not bad for turkey, at the same time we see other signals. the fact is that after the fifth of december, from the beginning of the embargo, tankers accumulated in the bosphorus and dardanelles straits, which turkey did not allow, demanding certain certification confirmations and so on today, i refer to the same blumber again, there is an understanding that the queue of these tankers is slightly decreasing, according to the interviewed expert agencies, this means that ankara has resolved the conflict related to the insurance of ships in the morning for the passage

19 tankers were waiting the day before, there were 27 of them, the message says, and a competent source told bloomberg that previously blocked tankers began to pass . that there will be insurance if the price is the highest for 60 dollars. so, despite the fact that russia has declared that they will not sell oil to those countries that will adhere to this press cap, it turns out that russia sells and sells similar, not even at 60, but maybe even at a lower price. therefore, there are no problems with insurance because the price is not that high and all these statements that it will not apply to us, these conditions , you know, they are left only in the air, because in fact russia understands that if it does not sell to anyone oil. she won't have any

money at all, that's why something small is better, and that's why it's clear for russia that it should be sold at this price, at which i told them , accordingly, they will be insured. by the way, turkey has the same interesting story that was written about western media reported that about a week before the start of action on not even this european island , turkey introduced new rules for crossing the straits, according to which it is mandatory to have insurance from the first of december of the current year, that is, if the vessel is not insured , it is not allowed to pass, and here is some the russian movie that was going knew that tanker somewhere around the end of november and turkey detained it for some other reason, and on december 1 they asked and where is the insurance anyway, that is, they were waiting a special period when the requirement of the law

on insurance will come and we waited for the first of december and you put forward the price, that is, the fact that now another one has been restored, it means that russia has agreed to that price hike informally, she never admits it, but she basically said ok, we will sell according to that at the prices at which you say, that is, they accepted that it is most likely russia, uh, retreated , gave in, not turkey. we have already the first precedents are quite dubious, andriy klymenko from the institute of black sea strategic

studies writes about this. a couple of weeks ago, uh , a ship left from there, uh. here, please, on december 8th, with a cargo of bloody crude oil of the russian federation in rivne, approximately 100,000 tons, and of course , our embassy in greece and in in general, the greek authorities on what is happening, but uh, taking into account uh, all the trends now, what do you think, will the number of such cases uh, uh, be any particular large, and will the russian federation try to uh , bypass the sanctions, use the court on other countries for that to transport your crude oil accordingly. look, if the price of this oil is lower than $60, then there are no problems here , because this price cap was actually established so that you can trade, that is, russia does not prohibit trading in oil, the only thing that was prohibited in order to

the price for it was higher than $60. that is, if the price is in this tanker. and by the way, you correctly noted that it is from greece. why because greece is one of those eu countries and which demanded the most from russia. more likely, not from russia, from the europeans . under the greek flag, that is, this business is from greece, and therefore it would not be profitable for it to stop uh, these sea transportations of oil are already too strong, that's why we have these 60. i hope that again in february this price will be reduced, however, if everything complies with the rules , i.e. the price was below 60, then accordingly there was insurance, if there was insurance, then this boat, this tanker could safely pass, that is, i understand mr. klymenko and all the people who react emotionally to such things, but the world is not ready yet to completely abandon russian oil, but

the dynamics, let's say, present in the world, demonstrate that the world is moving itself in the direction of gradually abandoning russian oil, it is not as fast as we would like, nevertheless, we are already even in the european countries, which at the beginning of the war told the people there in the spring of march that they could not give up russian oil and gas. and now even italy is already quite friendly to russia. the country declares that for the first time since 1974 it has lived a week without buying a drop of gas from russia, i.e. in fact, the country is now being rebuilt and the dependents are already so high. therefore, i hope that such, let’s say , the pressure of russia, which was held by the cities before , will no longer exist. in the long run, the trade with russia is completely rubbish. well, it looks unrealistic at the moment, but

it will not work. and what is happening with the production of oil and gas by our ukrainian e-e, well, in particular, let's discuss oil, since we have a huge number of oil wells that also do not stop they pump somewhere. at least large legal refineries work in us. only illegal or semi-legal ones work. according to various market analysts, their products make up to 20% of the market for light petroleum products. gas stations, i.e. ukrainian semi-legal or completely illegal, what is happening with ukrainian production, where is the ukrainian oil? now, unfortunately, there are big problems with oil processing, because practically, as far as i am concerned, at the time of 1991, there were six such large supernatural plants in our block, now i am sure that none more or less normal in kremenchuk, the only one was more or less started after the attacks in russia. i don't know what is technically there, as far as significant oil is concerned, yes in
