because in the opinion of even the american military and not only the american military, this is the best tank for ukraine in the current conditions . and this is not a joke, by the way, many sources say that they are preparing the so-called, and first of all , the british intelligence, up to the mi 6, is talking about this very structure. and what are the russians preparing special groups that they called tank hunters that these groups will have a purpose on the battlefield to try to repel drive away somehow isolate the leopard tank it will be one leopard-2 maybe it will be abrams when they come and take it for themselves but you know here what is it even if

they stole a tank, they wouldn't have made a leopard today in russia there are many mercedes , many bmws, many basics of martins, many maybachs, and the russians make mercedes or maybach or bmw because the russians did not steal them, they will never do such a thing themselves as they say, the wrong hands places well, it's time to talk about money in wartime , but today it's economic. the week's summaries will be made by oleksandr morchevko. oleksandr welcomes you, please. good evening, thank you vasyl. it's really sunday. i'm summing up this week's economic summaries about energy . the current situation in odesa is traditionally important, as well as the sanctions are working and there are new ones, which i will tell you in a moment, i am oleksandr marchenko. congratulations, this is a column about money during the war. so, due to the cooling, electricity consumption in ukraine is growing rapidly, however, faster rates of use are expected tomorrow

the ukrenergo company informed that the working week begins on monday and much more current is flowing from the network due to the repair of two power units and imports. they allowed to increase the consumption limits for oblenergo, so according to the hours of shutdown, they will last only from 16:00 to 20:00, this is in all regions except for kyiv and odesa in some areas of the capital, stabilization shutdowns are partially applied in odesa, the situation is currently difficult , emergency shutdowns are in effect due to an accident at the substation, well, the work is almost finished local officials reported today, about 25 powerful generators are already in the city, and almost 50 more are on the way, and will help restore the critical infrastructure to connect as many users of odesa as possible, according to our forecasts by the end of the next working

week. we must finish these works and, accordingly, by the end of the working week. by friday the situation should improve significantly before that there will be an effect from the fact that diesel generators of critical infrastructure will be connected by friday we plan to complete in parallel work at ours at one of our facilities well, these were the words of the head of the ukrenergo company, optimistic and we believe only in the positive, and finally it happened, as of today , the ban on the import of petroleum products from russia into the european union came into force, we are talking directly about gasoline, diesel, gas, oil and fuel oil the exception is only for bulgaria and croatia , they will be able to buy raw materials until the end of the current year, as well as the czech republic, which will purchase russian diesel for the time being; in addition , several european countries that have no alternative

will use the russian pipeline with oil for vessels that were loaded before february 5, there will be a transition period of 55 days, well, experts say that these are much more effective sanctions than the previously established limit price for russian oil, i will add that the limit price was also recently established for kremlin oil products, so at the level of approximately 45 dollars per barrel for fuel oil and $100 per barrel, this applies to the limitation of the upper limit of gasoline and diesel fuel . we will understand the details tomorrow . russian petroleum products, how is the situation with sanctions regarding the general prohibition of the european union to buy brain oil products, will it affect the ukrainian market, what will happen to fuel prices directly in our state

, there are interesting analytics, there are interesting experts from but that's all tomorrow, today i summarize the results of the current economic week, so no abuse of financial aid was found the ministry of finance of the united states stated that they do not see the misuse of american funds in ukraine, so they will continue to cooperate with our authorities, in particular in terms of preventing corruption, and the ministry of finance of the states will continue to work with the world bank. this finnish institution must directly monitor the payments of washington and report that the money really goes as intended, goes to the needs of certain items of expenditure of our country. there is still a debate around procurement at the ministry of defense. public control over part of such procurements by the ministry of defense continues to be returned. promised the head of the department oleksiy reznikov

, he told him directly that there is such an initiative to create such a platform like a transparent military platform, it is transparent that will really cover purchases from the ministry of defense. well, let's say that this week the government official instructed to carry out a general systematic analysis of prices and the process of directly forming them; to shorten the term of the contract with suppliers; and the register of the ministry of economy on the website will publish the number and date of the contract, the price for a specific unit. well, really, it is quite logical to check the prices with the register of the ministry of economy and with the market price, which later did not turn out to be that on the market eggs cost roughly 60-65 hryvnias per dozen, and bought for 170. russians continue to block the grain

corridor. because of this, in january, the export of ukrainian agricultural products decreased by almost one and a half million tons, the aggressor country is slowing down artificial the inspection of ships in the territorial waters of turkey in the ministry of agrarian policy and food noted that over the past month our state shipped five and a half million tons of grain oil of crops and products from them in the last week, transportation within the framework of the grain initiative, unfortunately, was reduced by a third due to the actions of the occupiers. well, if we talk about our internal needs, ukraine will be fully supplied with grain and oil crops despite the electricity shortage , the deputy head of the all-ukrainian agrarian council is confident of this councilor denys marchuk , the lack of kilowatts primarily affects

the work of processing enterprises, he also says that in the conditions of the energy crisis , small and family farms suffer the most farms, they cannot, for example, independently provide themselves with additional means of uninterrupted supply of kilowatts, well, they cannot , for example, a small farm there, well, with a few dozen cows, still provide heating, especially in winter, for the farm, buy generators, it is possible, and someone can afford it, but it is a big expense for today , especially in war conditions for small business well, if these costs are incurred by farms, they can raise prices for some groups of goods, according to denys marchuk's forecasts , inflation can range from three to five percentages on mainly processed products because it is processed products that require more electricity use, last year the it industry brought almost 7.5 billion dollars

to the ukrainian economy, a pleasant figure, the volume of exports even increased by 400 million dollars compared to 2021. this is reported by the industry association. therefore, companies are successfully implementing currently, measures to support business continuity create conditions for the safe work of their specialists . the president of ukraine thanked all entrepreneurs in his address this week. those who save jobs pay taxes to ukraine, he noted that this is a significant contribution to the state's ability to defend itself and i want to believe in a better future, let's talk about the prospects of ukraine's economy can grow immediately after the victory, well, a logical statement about this was reported this week by the profile of the minister yuriy sviridenko, while the government is counting on for the return of ukrainians abroad as well as assistance from international donors

, i would like to remind you that the gross domestic product of ukraine fell by 30% last year, but already in 2023 growth is predicted for the year, albeit small, let's listen to what yuliya sviridenko said, let's look with optimism at the 23rd year and of course that economic growth and there macro forecast for us completely depends, if you understand, on the military situation, if it ends the war in the 23rd year, we finally get victory for when we all so long for it and for which we are fighting, then of course it will give us growth and here we can also talk about the partial return of people about the first wave and about the certain return of business to well and here are such perspectives, such plans for the future, i will finish summing up this economic week, but the big broadcast is not over. vasyl zima will

continue it. watch us, join 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 are fixed comments, special icons and the possibility of personal communication with the espresso team, click sponsor and become part of the community with a ukrainian point of view, let's continue thank you very much oleksandr mochintsi for telling me about the new economic results of this week, which is not easy. well, now we will talk about a very important topic that we touched on the day before yesterday, in my opinion . if i am not mistaken, i promised that we will continue it on sunday, it is about the fact that the water level in the kakhov reservoir is decreasing, what threats

can there be to the local population , to the population, to the environment, and why is this happening? of the tv and radio company of the central committee of the trc and on matters of radio broadcasting mr. grigory, i congratulate you, i congratulate you, mr. vasyl well, the next day of the director is already in the past. or five years ago? we just spoke with the editor of the e-e publication most from kherson, he also talked about it, but they only asked for information about what is happening there, because this issue worries people, i would like to call for your information about what is happening there. what could be the consequences of this and what are the reasons for what is happening er import everyone should be told about the first reason and this situation that is happening in

the kakhov reservoir today , the water level in the kakhov reservoir is at par and almost one and a half meters well, if exactly by one and 4/10 what is the reason? the reason is that on november 11, the russian occupiers, retreating from the right bank to the left, blew up three shut-off dams on the kakhovskaya hpp dam, and now the water is uncontrolled overflowing from the upper facility to the lower facility of the dnipro river. at the beginning of january this year, my compatriots from boryslav. i was born in this town on the right bank of the kakhovsky reservoir. i can be said to be the same age as the kakhovsky reservoir because it began to fill up

in 1955 and the lyceum process lasted three years until 1958. so here is the normative support level of the kakhovsky reservoir 16 meters today , the water level in the kakhov reservoir is 14.6 m. that is, the water has fallen by almost one and a half meters, this is a lot, although some commentators on social networks say that it is okay these are seasonal fluctuations. well, seasonal fluctuations, they occur within 50 there, 40-50 cm, the water level fluctuates, and here it is already one and a half meters. well, so are my countrymen from boryslav . they asked me to raise this problem at the national level

, because well, there in boryslav had no water, electricity or gas for three months , they were completely cut off from life and did not know what was really happening, so they sent me photos, i saw them and was horrified in my entire life. reservoirs, and closely as a journalist . i analyzed all open sources of scientific information, too, and analyzed all this, systematized, organized, and posted on facebook on january 17 a post entitled kakhovsky reservoir on the verge of an ecological disaster .

grigoriyu, i can, i can, for a second, we just have a minute of time , then it can be even shorter, and what will happen to people if this happens to a person, now i know that the local authorities nikopol margantsi and er, by blood, suggest that people make three-day supplies well, people will make water for three days, but during this time the water level will not stop, it continues to fall . therefore, it is necessary to attract the attention of the international community. so that you can see there , what is the state of the hydroelectric power station itself, the machinist hall, because we don't know what the rashists can still create there, they didn't blow up three sandors, and they can also blow up the turbines, it will be

an environmental disaster in general, that's why i still i will literally ask one question . please tell me what they can be. what are you saying about an ecological disaster? it is clear that people can be left without water and people are already without water. which can then be somehow resolved this issue or whether it can be irreversible certain consequences it may not be reversible consequences of the southern district has already recorded a mass death of fish in the headwaters of the kakhovsky sea there closer to zaporizhzhia where the floodplain and the dnieper are many the fish died simply because the spawning grounds became shallow, the fish also became shallow, the fish also died, and the spring

spawning, the traditional local spawning of the fish, is also under threat, the losses will be huge. well , it is necessary to understand that not only the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, but also kryvyi rih draw water from the kahovsky reservoir the dnipro-kryviy canal because of the fact that it is a great threat to such a huge city. i thank you very much , mr. hryhoriy, for joining me. thank you for your comments and for your active position in covering this issue hryhoriy yuzhda i am an honored journalist of ukraine. well, i used to be the deputy material director of the central committee of the trc for radio volyn. thank you, mr. even. i am very much . to talk about cultural events, and that's what today will be about: poems about war and love by the poetess tetyana

vlasova, actor and military man artem seytablaev organized a poetry evening for the people of kyiv. this is the second time they have held it with a full house our car reviewer illina chichenina does not claim that such popularity is not surprising at all. he would like to say good evening to you, vasyl. i congratulate you. hello. well, you know in general . who would have thought that poetry evenings could gather full halls. i think that only those who are not those poetic the evenings do not go because it is really very popular for many years, and especially now when, well, the audience comes to chat even with people who are on the stage in general, and these poetic evenings by tatyana vlasova, the site's topic they are already taking place for the second time and already on the second day, the second time, more precisely, the crowd was full, people stood even at the door, and it was not so easy

to squeeze through, well, in general, there were a lot of such romantic lyrics. they reincarnated into different characters, read different love stories, wrote greetings, but there were also poems about the war, and more precisely , not about the war itself, but about what almost every one of us feels when we read the news , watch tv, when we just think about it what's going on, let's listen to an excerpt i'm a cyborg no i'm a guy from vinnytsia, i'm going to have a son soon, they say everyone here will be and was and is, although they are ashamed of all the heroes , i'm a cyborg i'm at home i was a driver in general tanya often posts her poems on facebook and

she also often reacts to various events that happen, as it seems to me, very well, she always reinterprets them in many different reposts, for example, from the last one, she reinterpreted in a poem the events in the dnipro, when a projectile hit the entrance. and she wrote that she and now writers in general in ukraine may well argue with hemingway, who once wrote the shortest tragic story, because unfortunately we can write such stories almost every day , let's listen to tanya, what does she say about the popularity of such evenings that they organize and we do everything right and we have to at least protect each other

, let's protect each other. here they are with the audience and well, some kind of psychological work is even possible with all those herbs that we, unfortunately, now get , for example, the theater of lesya ukrainka in lviv. well , it seems to me that almost every performance is like this, and if you go there, then, obviously, you will feel well, it has a certain psychotherapeutic effect, so i strongly advise you to pay attention to art and in general to pay attention to the theater, and now they are acting, well, not according to their standard scheme of just showing art, but really, if this is the case, what can you do at least for an evening for one day to comfort you from all these problems that we have, vasyl, thank you for your word. thank you very much. nina's lines are very beautiful. poetry is needed

, poetry is important, and the fact that people today listen to poets is important because, uh, real talented poets are god's gift. - these people, you know, feel more strongly not because they are special, because they have this gift and if these people use their gift correctly and feel the way they need to, then they convey to people what people need to hear, well, this is a certain therapy of injection is possible certain surgery on the soul or calming or healing and it's all important to say first what you understand but can't articulate well exactly the same way a sniper can shoot so you don't shoot and hmm let's say a surgeon can tear open a heart so i don't operate but i i will write a poem so that he will not write, that is, here you have to respect and appreciate the talents that god gives and it is important that poets reach out to people and it is important that people come to listen because it is definitely more interesting and important than with some unnecessary things, so only conists support you, you want such poetic evenings

there was more. well, now i will tell you about the weather, for example, tomorrow he will join us and he will talk about what the weather will be like today. of the week, er, this is already the second week, the second week of february begins and what will this week be like, it will begin with frosty weather , the night temperature will reach minus six, minus 14. well, i will honestly say even such unexpected, somewhat not traditional for this in winter, during the day, the thermometer bar will fluctuate between -2 -6 in the west of ukraine, sometimes up to -6 -10, because you were sitting here in the west. to be honest , we had such pluses, zero plus when it was cold in kyiv, it was cold in the donbass, it was cold in the north for ukraine, it was so

comfortable here european winter we even believed for a while that this is european winter does not exist ukrainian winter is coming back minus six minus 10 light snow likely i.e. february decided to demonstrate a classic moderate winter the landscapes will become more beautiful, but the situation on the roads will become more difficult ice, temporary snow drifts due to factory wind, deterioration of visibility the entire coming week in ukraine will prevail frosty weather this is how this week is forecast in general natalka didenko well, for now, let's see what will happen tomorrow in ukraine tomorrow, february 6 at in the western regions of our e regions of our country on monday where it is frosty minus three minus five degrees below zero also with snowdrifts so we saw where there -3 -5 ternopil - frankivsk khmelnytskyi-chernivtsi equal to lutsk and we will not forget uzhhorod, of course. these are the degrees there. now let's move to the north

of our country. tomorrow there will also be a little snow there. the thermometer will show 1-3 degrees during the day with the mark e minus yes. well, that's what it means in the north, even somewhat warmer than in the west of ukraine in the east, where heavy fighting is currently taking place in the donetsk direction , cloudy weather is expected tomorrow, a little snow, the air temperature will vary from one to -4° below zero here it is the situation kharkiv donetsk luhansk er south of ukraine there will be a slight plus even er from zero to two warm cloudy in places a little snow this is what the weather is forecasting well, you see er on the occupied peninsula it is already plus five in simferopol plus five in yalta, zaporizhzhia plus one, mykolaiv, odesa -1 and kherson will also fluctuate there plus or minus zero, and the capital of our country , the city of kyiv, tomorrow is expected to be quite cool weather, around two degrees

of frost, wind and a little snow. well, such weather awaits us tomorrow 6 february tomorrow to things and this was said by the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznekov, the training of the ukrainian military on leopard tanks begins tomorrow, a group of ukrainian soldiers went abroad to learn how to operate these machines, which the kremlin is very afraid of, which the russian army is most afraid of, you know, at the very end, i will tell such an important story which will demonstrate why culture is important why literature is important for some reason what we talked about alina chichenina about literary poetry evenings why it can be important because the word is also against the enemy and you know if we we don't leave culture if we allow the enemy, as we say in the 20s and 30s of the last century, to cut off the entire world of factual, most fragrant, most blooming world of ukrainian literature with one blow of the scythe. well, then what are we fighting for

? about ourselves when you are not we leave a written word about ourselves then what are we fighting for and the enemy is an experienced oppressor and persecutor of words let 's remember, let's say ensk ems edict valuyev circulars under the prohibition of the ukrainian language the ukrainian language was banned by russia empire during its entire existence more than 300 times there were different bans from peter i ending when and the second 372 in my opinion there were bans so the word is important and the russians as professional and historically trained oppressors persecutors and stranglers of the ukrainian word, they understand the power of any word what empire is even as weak as the russian one, such a retrograde empire, such an empire without values, without goals and without any meaning, even such an empire understands the power of words and the importance of words , this is exactly what this empire is on the side of today

billions of dollars in their propaganda, and that is why it is important to respond to this propaganda not only on the airwaves, but also with the word written like this: in the occupied territory of luhansk region, the russians are burning ukrainian literature . in the libraries of ukraine. i think that, unfortunately, they are burning my book and my colleagues, beautiful ukrainian writers, and those who are alive and those who are no longer . they are destroying them. they say that why are they destroying the books? we see berlin in the time of hitler or before the beginning of the second world war, which was unleashed by children on september 1, 1939, after attacking poland, they burned literature in germany , the nazis burned literature and today, when the russians do the same, of course, people make an association even in the most tired, the most wooden heads have an association yes, it is similar to nazism and they say no, it is not nazism

, it is anti-nazism, as in orwell's 1984 freedom is slavery, war is peace, not freedom, as in freedom, freedom is slavery war is not peace knowledge is power this is how they change everything and they say no, this is nazi literature, this is bander literature, tychyna is conditional , kokotyukha zhadan andruhovych, father or daughter, these are all nazis , we are burning them, and they understand that it must be destroyed and a new literature must be built. and we will not give it to them. together, we all will not give and we will also read and popularize thank you for being with me and we will take colleagues tomorrow , i will meet with you, well, literally in a moment angelika sazolenko about the most important events this day will tell us good evening we are of ukraine
