a reliable guarantor of peace and we, ukrainians, are a unique nation in the history of mankind, which refused the third nuclear potential of the world, but because of the guarantee of our western allies, and they have now stopped helping us, fearing that it could turn into the third world war. now russia is already threatening with nuclear weapons and with the western ally and is throwing the place with those missiles that we gave in the budapest memorandum, they began to give us these weapons or if we are kudos, but unfortunately it already exists well, to a certain extent, you understand, the ukrainians showed that i was attacked by the nation, we will fight back, give us good weapons, you are obliged to do this, i don't know the opinion of forintpolis, they just wrote about the fact that the biggest weakness of democracy is to promote the spirit of compromise too far, then to believe that everything can be

solved by compromise and look through your own democratic glasses here is this opinion. it is clear that europe and america are evolving in support of ukraine, but at first it was so simple. no one believed in this war. do you remember how all the leaders in the west told you, look, i looked into putin's eyes and i saw others going there this morning we got in touch petro medselskiy a military expert was with us this morning we are moving on and on short news all thermal power plants in ukraine were hit by russian missiles de-energized 44 high-voltage overhead lines you know about this in the minister of energy herman galushchenko, restoration work continues, as well as work on increasing the power of nuclear generation in order to reduce the deficit in the energy system, the latest russian attacks led to the destruction of an important of energy equipment, on december 5, the occupiers

fired more than 70 rockets at critical infrastructure objects, more than 60 shot down the air force the day before, the occupiers shelled kherson several times, the russians hit a house and damaged power lines, deputy head of the president's office kyrylo tymoshenko reported, according to information from the kherson regional military administration through art shelling damaged houses in the residential area and the occupiers also targeted several medical facilities in the city, seven victims are known two people from kherson were killed by shelling. the international finance corporation will help ukraine in recovery and attracting investments in infrastructure. the relevant memorandum with the organization that is part of the world bank group was signed by prime minister denys shmal. the cooperation will include assistance in selecting priority projects for the recovery of ukraine and creating favorable conditions investment attraction, in particular , it refers to such sectors as transport and logistics,

urban and social infrastructure, and energy, in particular, the economic losses of our state due to russian aggression has already reached more than 600 billion euros, about 50% of the ukrainian energy infrastructure has been damaged, damage to the facilities of the energy industry has occurred in many areas, this affects the volume of generation, transportation of electricity, which provides millions of people and basic communal services, human rights have no borders about this said the first lady of ukraine, olena zelenska , she met with her french colleague, brigitte macron, announced the presentation of her own foundation with the support of the french community, which was founded in everyone in the world could participate in the restoration of ukraine zelenska thanked macron for his support, reminded the first lady of france that she met ukrainian

children with oncology from the plane when they were evacuated from ukraine in the first days of the full-scale invasion, and also made a great contribution to the reconstruction of ukrainian medicine, the ninth package of sanctions against russia the minister of foreign affairs of the countries of the european union could not agree, as stated by the supreme representative of foreign policy jose borel, it is still necessary to finalize to be sure hmm that the sanctions will not have side effects, he noted that the country will continue its work, borel hopes that the new package of sanctions will be agreed by the end of this week and the proposals of the european commission will include sanctions against three more russian banks, additional export restrictions for dual-use goods and measures to make it difficult for russia to access drones ivan usyk, experts in international politics are now on a direct

call with us good morning mr. ivan good morning studio good morning tv viewers well, in the meantime, how i inform twitter, the leadership of the group of czechs in the council of the european union, the ambassadors of the eu countries nevertheless agreed on a package of financial assistance to ukraine in the amount of 18 billion dollars, but now we will focus our attention on the sanctions package here. please tell me what prevents all the participants from agreeing common position, the important point is that mr. barel noted that the reason is not in one country, but in the fact that there is no agreement among all representatives of the eu, that is , it is difficult to say that the real reason is not in hungary , but among other countries, nevertheless, the fact is that there is no such package yet, but at the same time, mr. baral

did mention that during this week he hopes that this package will be accepted. perhaps there will be some exceptions. that is, we currently have certain export restrictions on the agenda , that is, i understand that, most likely, not all countries are agree to the introduction in the list provided by the european commission, nevertheless, we will watch . i hope that this decision will be adopted. and really, let's go back to his phrase about the fact that it's only one country because before i will remind you that there were rumors a few days ago that hungary was against this package, that is, one

specific country was named. the euro here made such a decision, not taking into account the efforts of the same orban, well, you know. i understand that mr. orban was persuaded not to contradict the provision of this aid to ukraine, because i will remind you that hungary is also very dependent on receiving funds uh, from the european union, and let's put it this way, problems with not receiving those funds can have a negative impact on hungary, so sometimes i think that hungary now plays the role of such a cranky uh, i don't even know what an important little thing in the european union is, which constantly creates some problems, but then these problems are solved. by the way, she may have chosen such a role herself in order to receive some bonuses from the russian federation, because we know that certain meetings take place there, nevertheless, i do not think that this position is really so powerful in

the european union has enough leverage, primarily money, but i also said on your broadcasts that there is still an opportunity to exclude hungary from voting in the european union, for example, for two months, as was already the case with austria once. that is, it can be done, and we can discuss some outlines of this draft sanctions because, in particular, it was issued and its obzroverk emphasized that this package of sanctions will also apply to bloggers and media moguls, if they can be called that, and russian artists, in particular, that is, europe, the further away it is understands this ominous influence of information on the part of russia and it directly wants to limit this influence , right? what moments directly pleased you? do you perhaps expect in the ninth package of sanctions and how important this moment is to fight the kremlin's propagandists, it is actually very important

because you know i sometimes i catch myself thinking that if we constantly say that russia spends its money on the army, but if russia has a choice to spend it on its army or on its propaganda , then i think that they will still be on propaganda to spend because for them it is much more important that the point of view reaches other countries of the world and it is possible that they already influence europeans so much, but on other countries all that influence is, that is, i sit by myself. therefore, the media of the arab world is constantly present and sometimes i constantly they give theses that generally come from russian propaganda, but i hear them from journalists in arab countries , that is, i understand that the position of the russian media there is quite powerful, and in fact these countries perceive the theses that russia gives as the only truth although in reality it is not so, well, this is a question of the idea

of ​​ukraine to our allies regarding more attention at least to the gulf region there, saudi arabia is united by the arab numbered state, so that there is at least more balanced information , but the fact that there will be little restrictions on cultural influence, because the cultural flow of russia is also a component, it affects itself but of course it is also very important to us that if sanctions are introduced , the emphasis is on this healthy dmytro kuleba and they will also apply to the majority of russian banks, that is, it is not only about propaganda channels, and finally it is possible that russia will be limited in the use of drones, now i would like to ask ivan briefly at the very end about and what can be next and plan a little for the future after this 9th package and after uh, after expanded sanctions, in particular

from the united states of america and great britain, in our country, the ban on the import of russian oil has worked with sea routes and was agreed upon by the countries of the big seven and there the upper limit for the purchase of russian oil in the amount of 60 dollars per barrel, what's next, well , first of all, look, they came from the end in relation to 60 dollars, immediately after the introduction of this so -called 60 dollar price tag, the price of the russian brand yours fell, it seems, to 503 47, that's what happened yes and i will then contact the futures company, but i am up to the fact that according to this implementation of the pricescape, it should be reviewed every 2 months ago in february. i hope that there will be another project and this price will be even lower, that is, maybe 40, maybe even a little less. although there are calculations according to which for russia

oil trade in 0 is so-called, that is, when they will not bear losses, it is $30. that is, there is still room for further reductions, after all, waiting for the european union to be more cruel to kaliningrad, because i will remind you that in one of the sanctions packages they introduced restrictions on the transportation of goods. but they will not touch the railway, and these steps back will, as it were, somewhat neutralize the impact of these sanctions. by the way, kaliningrad is a very painful topic for the russian the federation got confused last time, they started to move their troops there and threaten something. well, it will be interesting to see in the future, again, how russia can be beaten by sanctions in the context of the kaliningrad school that you

mentioned. thank you, mr. ivan, for joining our morning broadcast. have a nice day. have a good day, ivanus, experts in international economics, was with us in childhood, i always dreamed of meeting characters from books, it seemed to me that they were all fictional and unattainable, everyone wrote about their power courage, bravery, calling them warriors, those who are always on the side of truth and justice, on the side of freedom and independence, those who hold weapons in their hands so that their children never take them they know how to fly and dream, they forget their own fears for our sake and for our

future warriors these are not characters from books , they are real warriors, these are the armed forces. they work in the dark, giving us light even during rocket attacks, despite the weather and danger day and night. they do everything possible to keep us warm and connected, even with interruptions. this is prometheus who bring us life people who have already

become heroes even though you won't see them in the news warriors who will dispel any darkness our true knights of light thanks to you we will survive the winter necessarily energy workers thank you for the rules of a warm country kitchen thank you for less often using the dishwasher to wash dishes by hand, this is for writing , let's beat the winter together, like a sudden power outage, choose the network of an available operator manually, try to use the 2g network, if there is no call, send an sms or in advance find out where there are landline phones with a fixed connection, in no case do i say through the mobile internet bulky files that reduce conversations to a minimum or overload the network and make it

inaccessible to others, together we will defeat the darkness the border from sumy oblast yesterday. this was reported in the regional military administration in the krasnopil community, the occupiers released 16 ammunition with a rocket salvo system. hail of the velikoposariv community fired from russian territory with grenade launchers 16 airstrikes hit the middle of the community six mines damaged a private house and a barn residents of odesa will not inform about the restoration of electricity supply and repair work the regional military administration thought about it they explained the enemy uses data on the progress of repair work to deliver repeated strikes that is why the information will be made public in a very limited way. residents of the region were urged to be understanding, because when the situation with

electricity supply improves, everyone and that's it. will be felt by the leaders of the 7 countries, they declared their unwavering support and unwavering solidarity with ukraine, promised to bring all the guilty to justice, emphasized in the statement that the countries want to help ukraine repair and protect its critically important energy and water infrastructure, as well as prepare for winter , the leaders assured that they will help bring russian president putin and all the guilty to responsibility in accordance with international law freedom in europe will not yield to any tranny, president volodymyr zelenskyi assured during the address to the leaders of the g7 countries, he called on international partners to provide ukraine with more weapons, to increase assistance in the gas issue and reconstruction, last year ukraine obtained the status of a candidate for eu membership, received vital economic sanction support from europe. i

believe that in the future we will protect such a valuable solidarity dear colleagues, i ask all of you to maintain the achieved solidarity. and next year, russia will continue its aggression, so the support of ukraine in the capital of france should be continued today. the heads of state and ministers of 47 countries will gather at a conference of solidarity with the ukrainian people, the president of ukraine and the secretary general of the united nations, antonio otelish, will speak remotely. the purpose of this meeting is to mobilize the international community to help ukrainian citizens. the task is the reconstruction of the ukrainian energy infrastructure by the second stage of the representative international summit in

in paris, there is a bilateral conference for the stability and reconstruction of ukraine at the french ministry of finance, about five hundred french companies have been invited to it. an international bilateral conference on supporting the sustainability of the reconstruction of ukraine in paris, and, by the way, in parallel with this event, kyiv will also hold another event, the french-ukrainian economic forum, and already they call it energy ramstein and your expectations are how much europe should show its cohesion now and in particular what role do you think french president emmanuel macron himself should play, recalling his latest statements

regarding putin's security guarantee or the same as the kremlin of the russian federation and its desire to help ukraine, it is clear that emmanuel macron can say, well, those things that ukrainians sometimes do not like, but this is international politics - this is geopolitics and this is france with its interests, so we we have to pay attention to this, but the key thing is that we have to clearly understand that france confirms its er, its clear position that ukraine must win, that ukraine needs to be helped, and this, in particular, is also er revealed in this event that will now take place in france. as far as i i know there were enough important meetings yesterday, you talked about the energy ramstein. and yesterday there were meetings of our ministry led by the minister of energy , with the minister of energy, with the minister of energy of

france, as well as with the operator of the distribution system the issues of energy assistance and equipment with various materials and spare parts for ukraine were discussed. all assistance will be provided in the near future. they also discussed the creation of such a master plan for energy assistance to ukraine, which talked about the restoration of all the equipment of the substation a-a in the line e-e in transmission of high-voltage overhead lines well, so on , that is, the help of france, it is absolutely obvious, and we should thank our french partners , including in the energy sector, mr. president yesterday, in his address, ukraine clearly said that russia will not stop. it is preparing new shelling for her. the last hope is a blackout in ukraine, but uh, uh, our energy workers, you just talked about in your short video that the

energy workers today really our heroes, they create miracles, miracles, they should be extremely thanked that in these conditions that have developed that all our thermal stations are damaged by damage, somewhere around 50% of our overhead high-voltage electricity transmission lines are also damaged, but in these conditions, we still get light now we can communicate with you because there is electricity about this event because we want to understand about it because it will be such a two-sided story there will be a ukrainian-french economic forum to which representatives of french companies are invited here in kyiv, in particular today will take place on lviv square, but at the same time this event will be synchronized with the bilateral conference on supporting the stability and reconstruction of ukraine, it is still more about diplomacy. is it so purely the working event immediately and in paris and kyiv it is

only about numbers and concrete help or without diplomacy it is impossible now, it is impossible for any economy, and for a big politician in politics, the economy always has huge tasks, well, in all politics , the economy is important. therefore, i would not share this, of course that this is big geopolitics, it is clear that the world is thinking about what the world structure will be like after this war, after the victory of ukraine, and in order for it to be fast, this is the reconstruction for ukraine after the war, and we need economic help we need economic cooperation, because there can be no rapid recovery without the development of economic relations, without the development of the economy both within ukraine and at those levels of interaction with international economic players, how are we going to talk about france

in particular today? the french-ukrainian partnership is economic, it has a long tradition, there are quite good investments from france here for the economy of ukraine, and ukrainian companies cooperate with their economic partners in france, that is, interaction is taking place and this will affect the further recovery of ukraine and the formation of a new world order. and this is a big geopolitics . ukraine quickly rebuilt its energy system after those shellings that have already happened and those that we are expecting, well, this is extremely important considering the fact that it is winter, considering the fact that the economy should also develop in more or less normal conditions without electricity economy it also stands for that, that's why these are interconnected things dmytro, according to preliminary

estimates, the restoration of ukraine may cost up to 500 billion us dollars . and what or who plays a key role in this restoration? well, first of all, it should be the economic activity of the ukrainians themselves, we see that ukrainians are creative and inventive and businesses are in russian, and on the one hand, on the other hand, we understand that without the financial and economic assistance that we will receive from the world today, we will not be able to do it, and we are really grateful to our partners for this help. of course, the renewal of our energy system will be of great importance, because we see that the economy stops, economic activity stops when there is no electricity, and, of course, all those decisions of the government and the parliament of ukraine that will be connected

with the development of the economy, the economy is extremely important. well, the help of all financial institutions , e.e., both credit and e.e. grant assistance will be of great importance. well, i ask you directly about what kind of instrument the current one will become forum and the current conference on the reconstruction of ukraine because a similar event was held on the eve of december 9, but the polish-french economic forum and there the emphasis was also placed on the support of ukraine, how specifically poland and france can support it, but also there they talked about nuclear energy and the possibility of building a nuclear power plant in poland and here. of course, this is an attractive economic project for france. in this way, i am trying to understand what might be breakthroughs that can happen at this forum . france is probably already ready to offer us something. france in atomic energy. it has a powerful influence and invaluable experience, that is why they

held this forum, and here everything was directly tied to nuclear energy, renewable energy sources, hydropower, that is, it is interesting what growth of this forum will be key, which will take place today, that is, probably also they will talk about some progressive projects ah well they need to be heard eh i haven't heard about atomic energy yet we have to understand that indeed france is one of the most powerful countries in the nuclear intrigues of the company idf is french is extremely powerful. and it has projects not only in france in this world, and since the 90s it has been cooperating very closely with our energy engineer here in ukraine, so this cooperation has a long tradition. i am sure it will continue. accordingly, we will continue to cooperate with our american partners when we talk about the westines company, which also helps ukraine with nuclear fuel , and this is extremely important in the strategic

development of our nuclear energy industry. but again i repeat, yesterday there was a meeting of the energy ministers of ukraine and france and also with their distribution system operator, where the issue of creating a master plan for the ukrainian energy industry was discussed, and it will include all the energy sectors and atomic energy and hydropower . and renewable energy, i am convinced that heat generation can also be a-ah, that is, all types of energy that will create this energy balance of ukraine and the interaction, this happens only once every four years 32 national teams will meet on the fields of the boat to find a new winner in the ideals. watch all 64 matches of the world cup live on the
