look, do it like that now we have fallen because of these sanctions, by the way, taking advantage of it, i will say that the sanctions are those that were previously introduced, the game with them pushed the frame and an employee from russia there is no russian sentiment in society, but the turnover is now somewhere around 700 million and these are their 50, our 650, these are the most diverse deliveries of zhytomyr , the shortage of agricultural products, this is our plane a140, which is iran 140, this is the supply of compressors, this is actually the nuclear power plant where they are working, which we were not allowed to build, where the ukrainians are working specialists. maybe they got russian passports, but we can impose sanctions against them. this is an embassy that was bought here for pennies, and there are precedents in international practice. when they measured it. but we don’t have dishes there, we rent, we throw money away. there is international practice, what can we say ? you bought it then, weren't they like that, then

you bought a tycher at an undervalued price, you turn around, compensate and so on and so on and so on i understand thank you mr. oleksandr i'm sorry it's just that if i don't give a word to irina koval with the news she will kick me out of work and i like working here, that's why i'm very against it. so oleksandr samarskyi, a diplomat , was the ambassador of ukraine to the islamic republic of iran from 10 to 14 years old, and iryna koval will tell you about the news for this hour. once again i'm talking about how christmas is celebrated today in kryvyi riivna, wait news time

on the espresso tv channel in the studio iryna koval and just now, the most important thing is that the russians are terrorizing kherson with shelling during the day, but the invaders took lives from the daytime attacks at least seven civilians, another 58 people were injured, 18 of them are in a serious condition, not people shelled the city center with hailstorms, they attacked the market, the shopping center , residential buildings, administrative buildings where there were the most civilians, as a result, several fires broke out, more than 60 cars burned in the city, a donor is urgently needed blood, so tomorrow for half a day kherson residents can come to the regional center of the blood service and help the wounded to lie down.

it's not like hell. i'm talking in my ears. it's only a little bit gone. i remember it's wet. until now, there were many people nearby. it was just there. i wasn't here. i was a little bit . of course, this is the window. katsaps, they just ate that borscht with kolkas, because i had it here. look, this is a bottle of water. i also had water here, that's all, it's the eaves. this morning the russians shelled the village with artillery in the outskirts of the kupyan district, a projectile hit a private house, the regional prosecutor's office reported that a

72-year-old man was killed as a result of the shelling, his 74-year-old wife was wounded, law enforcement officers documented the consequences of another armed aggression of the russian federation and collected physical evidence. more than a million ukrainians will celebrate christmas this year. is considered the most religious country in europe, the vast majority of poles are catholics, and christmas is traditionally celebrated on december 25, will ukrainians who came to poland after february 24, maria chernyakhivska found out. christmas in poland is one of the most important holidays. all cities and villages are immersed in a festive atmosphere. all big shops are closed until tuesday, and poles gather in the family circle. do they go to visit loved ones ? will celebrate christmas, mrs. to mouth says, she will treat the guests to traditional

dishes of polish cuisine in soup, of course, carp , traditional salmon, poppy seed, cheese cake - this is sweet, in addition, herring is our polish, this is a family holiday, i think it's wonderful and there will be gifts on this occasion, i wish everyone the best this christmas ukrainians who came to poland after february 24 also support local traditions, for example, yulia was invited to christmas dinner by the polish family from whom she rents an apartment in warsaw, our polish friends, they told me what they will cook and i i'll bring my traditional dish that my mother used to cook, well, it's just potatoes with mushrooms, it's always. she cooked it for christmas eve, and yulia learned about an interesting polish tradition and baked it together with her daughter christmas gingerbread on the eve of the holiday ah in a family in a polish family with children make such

gingerbread sweet and decorate them with different colored glazes with various decorative beads and then treat the guests who come to them and also decorate the christmas tree follow along with the poles with whom i managed to make friends during these months are a great pleasure , the girl admits, because unfortunately not all close people are around now. i am very happy that they invited me. you know, i feel like a family circle, that is, they me accept as well as a friend as a relative to observe christmas twice this winter ukrainians who are parishioners of the ukrainian greek-catholic church in warsaw started the association together with the family and sisters brought us a corner of poppies from home. i really want to go home, but the circumstances are such that we you

are here to communicate and together well, everyone together, the first one will celebrate christmas on december 25 and iryna made dumplings and poppy seeds and bought panettone so clean hmm more seriously extended on january 6 to prepare according to our traditions in the greek catholic church in poland now there is a transition period - says father mykolay, so this winter christmas will still be celebrated here on january 7, and it is worth remembering that the calendar is not the most important thing in a person's religious life - says the priest, it is more important not to add, but how we will survive is it christmas or is it easter is there another holiday in the church calendar? will our hearts change? is christ really born first in our hearts? the external attributes of christmas are definitely important. this is a beautiful family holiday with its traditions, but we should not forget that it is necessary to prepare for christmas. primarily spiritually, says the priest, because without

experiencing the spiritual, without the birth of a savior in the heart, the external dimension for a person who believes in what kind of christian is he will remain only external when christ is first born in the heart of a person, then a person will not experience christmas as such in his life, and this is important to remember when we we are preparing for this great christian holiday maria chernyakhivska ihor antonyuk for the espresso tv channel from warsaw the british embassy congratulated ukrainians with christmas and new year. diplomats in ukraine emphasized that for the whole free world, our state has appeared as a beacon of freedom, ukrainians are very fond of their country, their culture and freedom, and from this love is born an incredible strength of spirit, which has nothing to oppose to the enemy except malice from its own defeats, winter will end

, darkness retreat, the light will win, ukraine will win, happy new year, a pleasant surprise from the neighbors, the moldovan border guards decided to take a carol to their ukrainian colleagues, they came to the checkpoints of old cossacks and lighthouses , the orchestra performed an instrumental version jingle bells songs, and they also sang the ukrainian carol old year passes by. in this way, the guards of the neighboring country congratulated us on christmas and wished us health, happiness and peace

. on the first festive flight in kyiv, a retro train left , although its departure from the central railway station had to be delayed due to the announcement in capital's air alarm, the train will include as many as two vintage steam locomotives from 1954 and five passenger cars, including a buffet car. everyone who wants to ride it will be able to ride it for three weekends in a row. so far, this was all the news at this time, unfortunately, we did not manage to communicate with our colleagues from kryvorivnia, but i hope that in the next issue we will definitely hear about the holy evening and what is currently happening in kryvorivnia , that was all the news for this time. you can read more on our website espresso tv summary about the main thing on

the espresso tv telegram channel and on youtube, and mykola veresen continues the broadcast on the espresso tv channel, and christmas is a time when ordinary things acquire miraculous properties, a time to gather together to celebrate and we will decorate our christmas trees, even in times of war, our christmas trees will become places of strength, we will meet christmas together with our military, all together we will become even stronger, and as in carols, light defeats darkness, so in life, ukrainians will win over the moscow zayas, look with a sincere eye at the son of god, at our land, at ukraine came down from heaven and brought a gift so that it will be glorified forever. merry christmas. let's listen to people who

suffer from rheumatism. but the arthritic can't get used to it, it doesn't allow you to move. dolgit cream, it saves me from the pain of rheumatism. dolgit relieves pain, reduces swelling and improves the mobility of the joints in the joints and back. every week, the saturday political club helps to understand the processes of what is happening in ukraine and the world. if you want to understand how our today will affect our tomorrow, watch the saturday political club that saturdays are not espresso

good health once again and we will be with you until 7 p.m., that is, about 48 minutes together with which experts will speak approximately half, and i will answer questions as an expert, and now we have ivan plachkov, chairman of the council of the union of the all-ukrainian energy assembly, minister pala venery, such a multiple minister. ivan , you are very glad to see us, a wonderful expert . good health to everyone. you gave me such realities, yes, they say, while patrolling, the account of probably future achievements, i believe. i believe that there will be

they look at how much this is uh, well, an important statement that uh, the russian federation can stop the transit of gas to europe through the ukrainian gas transport system, how much should we be afraid or happy or clap our hands or cry, how much do the russians need it, what do they get from what will happen to will they stop or on the contrary will not stop this mind about this well the situation looks like this today ukraine really transports through the gas transportation system well i think today about 30-40 billion in terms of volume if we count in a year how many er, it is difficult to say about the language, it will change . well, i think somewhere around 30-40 billion a year, it is

clear that this is beneficial for russia because er, there are not many transport highways left for gas export, this is the ukrainian gas transport system, this is er, um, this er southern stream to turkey and so on. and if we er today look at the fact that russia has reduced the volume of gas exports, well, how much less by 50% , it is clear that russia's revenues have already decreased significantly and it is economically unprofitable for russia to stop the transit of gaza through ukraine. i think that european countries today they are not imposed sanctions on this transit because it enables the european economy to more or less gradually refuse

oil and gas and electricity. as for ukraine, yes, indeed, today, for the first time, we receive money for the transit of this gas . are very necessary, and secondly , this transit provides such a stable and necessary mode of operation not only of the high-pressure gas transportation system, but also , most importantly, of the distribution system, which supplies gas directly through the point, if russia stops the transit, then yes, we will have some problematic first of all, we will need to increase the volume of gas pumped from our storage facilities in order to maintain the pressure, and secondly, the gas will not reach the same pressure in all

regions and all populated areas of ukraine, well, these problems are not critical, the volume of gas we have we have about 14 billion, i think now about 13 billion cubic meters of gas and this gas is enough to provide consumers for an average winter and our gas transportation system has already worked out this mode is possible they made some reconstruction is necessary and there will be no criticism at all . yes, there will be problems, yes. maybe some settlements have been imported. where is it going, because it is difficult to calculate all the regimes now, but well , there is no such situation, no, it is critical, and there is production . gas production is now

continuing. is it precisely the areas where there is war and there is nothing? it is being produced, no, it does not mean very much. ukraine continues . the missile strike will continue because the strikes that were on our gas transport infrastructure were strikes on gas enterprises, but they caused damage there, but insignificant today, the production of ukrainian gas is more or less stable and the enterprises are working and if the situation here today is not, nor is it alarming, i would say so, it concerns the

gas supply for today, if we keep the situation in this state, now one more question. i am not an expert, but what i read it seems that the most difficult situation in general with energy, light supply, is the hero of the city, kyiv, is it true, and then why exactly? this is because the russians direct their missiles to the very thing that feeds kyiv, which gives kyiv the opportunity to light up, to be warm, and so on and so on. well, give me energy, it was built on the territory of ukraine, not according to the administrative principle, there is a so-called western region, there is a central region, from the point of view of energy, the central region is

included in kyiv, kyiv region and some the oblasts are adjacent to a part of the oblasts and this region was provided to us with generation e-e with reserves there was e-e m-m e-e excess capacity but after the shutdown of the chornobyl nuclear power plant after the shutdown and it was 4,000 mw e-e central region it became scarce. and we built at one time a 750 kw high-voltage power transmission line, which means we built a 750 kw substation in the area of ​​the makarov line in order for us from other regions to bring electricity to the central region from other stations , because the central region only had generation 35-6 of the darnytsk trypil aggression is now working there dirty well, no, it is not enough

, even if they are at their maximum and the kyiv hpp and kyiv res hpp, and therefore after these strikes, damage to high-voltage stations , especially 750 damage to power line transformers, we have a very large deficit of generating power in the central region, and why were there strikes on substations directly around kyiv, and even if it is possible to transport a part of it? 50x330 and then voltage 330 goes to the substation 330 to 110 and then voltage goes to the substation e-e 110 and there it goes 110 to 35 then 35 to 10 and 10 * 0.4 already directly to the consumers

you find out which way electricity goes from the rivne nuclear power station how many substations of voltage classes does it pass and considering that a large part of these objects is damaged in terms of energy, it is forced to reduce the supply of electricity, even in order to preserve the equipment that works, for example, at the substation there are three there were 34 transformers, three of them were damaged , one was destroyed, and one was left. it works. well, if we overloaded it in the past, we will overload it until it may burn and we will also lose it, so what i see from the energy industry is that there is an overload at sub-zero temperatures, and they don’t ask anyone, they don’t do anything. they turn it off without paying attention to anything in order to save it so that later, later on, because if

they lose this one, it will be for a long time, it could already be months until, er, we are on that program, eh, those things that were agreed upon in paris, eh- e now we sent an order to such companies as siemens schneider alstom, this small one for the manufacture of these powerful high-voltage transformers so that it can be restored. and it takes 4 months, 5 months. well, even such very, very expensive ones. well, with finances, i think the issue will be resolved there. well, time and time they are these things. they cannot be made, and they are artificial. they are not in warehouses. there was no point in accepting such equipment , which is expensive in warehouses. the situation is still in the south of ukraine - this is

south odesa oblast, especially my family is bessarabia on the danube . in our country, for example, they sometimes give me two hours of electricity for 3 hours or maybe a day and a half without electricity. there are two such two regions and which are the most deficient, although there is also a problem in other regions. well, it is related to such due to the current damage, it is equipped, but today the power engineers have a problem , first of all, this equipment, although we say that american aid is coming from other countries, well

, it is mainly diesel generators that help. that is what we need. they provide us with electricity supply. is it possible with further electricity for critical infrastructure, but there are hospitals in hospitals and so on, but diesel generators er, er, er, replace er, here is the power system, and here is that er, if er, the project supply of electricity, of course it is impossible. millions of them are needed. you can find a diesel generator of 5 kw, a 1000 mw nuclear sanction panel, can you imagine how much one block is a center? i don’t know how much it can’t be compared. we need energy equipment, but the problem is that, for example, in the united states, they

work. on a completely different voltage class and they already have 110 v and 60 hz, it does not fit at all even in european countries or most countries. it works at a voltage of 400-200 kw. and we work at 330 e-e 110 well, there are countries that work, well this is very technologically complex and organizationally complex well, what i can't help but say is what we have in the organization. from the work in ukraine to eliminate emergency situations, unfortunately, there is not enough of a renewable network. they can and so on, why i say this, i say it because if the state company ukrenergo energoatom they

receive uh, or there uh, here he hydroenergo can receive loans with the guarantee of government guarantees, the government can give state company and these 30 e-e distribution companies that are private where they will take the funds immediately and there are no payments, no one helps them and they have to buy this equipment, where to get them will not solve the issue of financing and now we hear that they have created and correctly created a ukrainian energy distribution company where they merged the state companies, they took a photo, where the property will be better managed , and now they will probably go there. i think that 25 or six oligarchs belonging to the russian oligarchs will enter, now there will be these national nationalization transfers administrations. and how do they, where will they get the funds,

who helps them? for example, i offer equipment. i work here with energy colleagues in bulgaria, romania, minsk countries. i have collected equipment, and they all answer me. it's free. it's free. if it's free, then we really need it . we don't have money to pay, look at my father's situation, we need to make changes in the legislation of ukraine and move the energy market at work in wartime conditions , he is already working as a liberal general as before the war, we were not the most liberal i remember when, too, i can't help but say when someone needed to sell electricity to russia to belarus, remember this situation, the law is like that, a change to the law was introduced , a completely different law was introduced by my brother on the energy industry, without

a meeting of the committees, everything was done there maybe this law was also adopted and electricity went to russia in belarus, he was paid as i don't know how many gravely dollars were paid. it is clear to the energy industry that they are mobilized, they are disciplined, they are professional, they are responsible and they do everything they can, well , they need such coordination, e.e., organizational financial coordination in the state, because i do not see at the government level, e.e. a person, except for the prime minister, who cannot cover everything, who would coordinate the work of these enterprises at all times of ukraine's independence, he was the vice-prime minister for the

fuel and energy complex at all times, and now it seems to me that we need the first vice-premier for the real sector of the economy , we see all the ministers, diplomats on at the most advanced levels, you are not a high-ranking person, but the real sector of the economy, we don’t hear anything. the last sentence and i stop. we have instructed the state energy inspectorate to change all these oblenergos and supposedly correctly. did they follow the schedule correctly or incorrectly ?
