[000:00:00;00] what do they call it, what do they allocate this money to through nato, all this aid is non-lethal, yes. that is, it is not a weapon of a large caliber, it is a rifle , it is a medical kit, it is a stockpile, that is why it is so additional aid but the biggest biggest aid and the biggest new announcement to be made is related to her new budget cycle they at the end of may uh at the end of march march 28th they presented their new budget for 2023 and there they announced uh two and four billion aid dollars canadian dollars

assistance to ukraine during the next fiscal period, mostly all of this money will go, of course, to payment of pensions , to social expenses, that is , they will go entirely to the maintenance or functioning of the functioning of the state, this is counted as their financial assistance. in addition to this money, they also pledged 23 the 24th year of assistance to all those new arrivals who will continue to come under a special program for ukrainians until mid- july of this year, it still provides for this one-time financial assistance from the federal of the government and that is why these 30 million us dollars are an additional drop , let's say more. such projects that do not provide for lethal aid and support, what

do you think, and how is such a development of events possible in general, when canada will be able to reconsider its views and still provide such aid? i think that this process is evolving let's say yes, and we talk a lot about the fact that what ukraine asked for and needed from the very beginning , from the first days of the war, it seemed almost impossible to get from our partners. and shells and everything else. but of course

, when it comes to aid through the nato distribution fund, er, as a collective institution. which will testify to their direct and direct participation in this war , so when it comes to bilateral negotiations and bilateral aid between countries, of course , it is much easier and easier to achieve these, although it is also not easy than when it concerns such a collective body as like nato, but the leopard was given eight leopards that canada promised in ukraine, they are already in poland . so, this rubicon has been crossed, yes, again, it was provided directly by the canadian government. that is , it was not help from nato, they did not get it let's say from the stockpile of nato collective weapons, as an institution, this is a nato member country. but nevertheless, it was allocated directly by its sovereign government to us, the canadian government allocated this equipment, so really, yes, it is a window, let's say transferred, but now if we are already

used to tanks, we thank you and it seems perhaps it is probably worth moving on to other types of equipment armament, including aviation, that is why i think that this is an evolving process, finally , briefly, one minute remains, i wanted to ask what is happening in the parliament in general discussion on the positions of what will be in this or that package well, in particular, is a certain nomenclature discussed there or is it simply accepted as a package according to the request of ukraine, if you can spare a minute eh yes, in most cases, this is canada's direct response to a request from the ukrainian side, sometimes directly from the minister of the russian federation, which is in bilateral negotiations with the minister of defense anita anantne. he is exactly talking about these specific

needs. marathon and on luchikhina, a counselor in the canadian parliament was with us marathons are the only news we continue our broadcast and we will talk in the future about the grain corridor or the grain initiative with an expert in our studio live on the right regarding agricultural imports from ukraine continue in is now on monday the european commission will continue search for a solution with poland, slovakia, hungary, romania, and bulgaria, while the polish radio station afm fm reports that the management is ready to expand the list of goods prohibited for transportation from ukraine, so far the european commission has only behaved to ban the import of wheat, corn, repackage sunflower seeds in timi and ask to additionally include sunflower oil, flour, honey, sugar, soft fruits, eggs , meat and milk in this list, and this year , they plan to sow more than 13 million hectares of land

, which is less than half of what it was before of the full-scale invasion of russia, many fields are now unfit for cultivation and dangerous for farmers, because ukraine has turned into the most mined country in europe, part of the territory is still temporarily occupied, so about a quarter of the land will not be sown, it is almost 7 million hectares. thus, the grain and grain harvest this season may decrease to 44 million tons compared to 53 million last year. the agricultural export sector as a whole will analyze this situation with serhii ivashchenko, the director of the ukrainian

grain association . i congratulate serhii, so why did this situation become possible when eastern europe decided to close the borders for ukrainian grain? everything began to increase in scale, because we are talking about the export of ukrainian agricultural products in general, how this situation can affect our agricultural sector. well, of course, any problems with exports have negative consequences for the country's budget and the situation on the agricultural market , because the less we can sell abroad , the we will sow less next season and , accordingly, this can lead to even greater negative consequences that we are already observing in principle and the second season is actually a calendar year and such consequences can still

to get worse, today we are already talking about the fact that crops have decreased by about 6-7 million hectares, that is about 24 without 25 years from what we have, we already see that our uh harvest is also smaller, yes, this summer, what was it. in the summer , we harvested uh - in fact, about 72 million tons of oilseeds, and in the 21st year we collected 106 million records, 106 million theoretical volumes of grain, and next year, next summer, next fall, we will see even more of them harvested, we are still waiting, we are waiting for our forecasts, what will it be 65.66 million tons of grain and oil crops together indeed, if we talk only about grain, it is about 44 million tons. the answer is that it will not be correct. if you mean

these myths about hunger, then of course we do not have enough of this grain. well, let's say that we consume about 20 million tons of grain and oil crops together. cultivation in 70-65.70, then, accordingly, it is several times more than what we can consume , therefore, from the point of view of food security. will have certain negative consequences because there is less grain, less funds that we will receive in ukraine and bring to ukraine , so let's say certain risks, we could go through the grain corridor , russia continues and tries in every way to disrupt our export e-e route our export grain export that goes from three ports

ukraine, the southern black sea region and odesa today they are sabotaging the work of the inspection in istanbul today they are trying to choose independently which ships will be inspected and which will not, although this contradicts the memorandum which were signed last summer, according to the memorandum, it is the ukrainian side that is obliged to submit the lists of those vessels that will be inspected. well, this one is logically, in principle , a consequence of the fact that they are sabotaging, we see that today we can actually send two bottoms a day, this is very little. from what we could send, but at the expense of how much grain was already exported thanks to the operation of the green corridor. since august 1, when the corridor is in operation, we shipped 28.5 million tons of grain, oil and

processed products, such as, for example, oil or flour, now ukraine is occupied by wheat and corn, the g7 countries at the end of the week called for the continuation and full implementation of the expansion of even the agreement on the export of ukrainian agricultural products through the black sea, but here is an interesting statement made by the ambassador of ukraine to turkey, vasyl bodna-bodnar, at a briefing in ukraine in ukrainaform at the end of the week he said that ukraine should a-a prepare alternative options for grain export because on may 18 russia may block the grain corridor, and what are the alternatives in your opinion? that's what we heard

about such statements by the russian side, i would like to remind you that we signed a memorandum on march 18 and extended it for 120 days. this period for this year has greatly improved our logistics by rail, road transport and by way of our danube ports, which also ship grain and which do not require an inspection in istanbul, they actually work as ours used to work before the deepening of the black sea ports is fast and the improvement of logistics with romania through their channels and transshipment on the external raid, the majority of vessels or transshipment due to sports, romanian stations are bearing certain fruits and today we see that the throughput capacity of our donetsk ports has actually increased to 1.8 million tons per month, this is compared to uh last years when before the big invasion, this is a fact several times

more than uh we used to send it , we always had shallow ports uh there it was more expensive to travel, so they were less used. today, we see the efficiency of these ports and investments in these ports are increasing, we see that terminals are being built there, and barges will be brought there, so it is actually developing, but we must also pay attention to the fact that the railway logistics to the danube ports today to some extent discriminates against these ports, yes, delivery to the black sea ports is several times cheaper than to the danube ports, and we have repeatedly emphasized at meetings with the ukrzalzal that infrastructure changes are needed make a special railway tariff for the danube ports. in this way, we will increase the volume of transportation, this will compensate for the actual costs of the railway and where to stimulate the improvement

of the work of the dynasty of ports, the deepening of the danube and the work through these ports by transporting more grain. it is clear. thank you for joining the marathon and strange news , serhiy ivashchenko , the director of the ukrainian grain association, talked with us about the situation at the front, let's talk further, be patient and observe informational silence before the appearance of official reports, the head of the press center of the operational command south, nataliya humenyuk, reacted to the information about the alleged landing of the armed forces of ukraine on the left bank of the occupied part of the kherson region. she said that this is a very difficult task . when to overcome such an obstacle, like the dnipro, when the front line passes by a wide, powerful river therefore, the conditions of a military operation require information silence until it is safe enough for our

military. well, let me remind you of the information that allegedly the ukrainian defense forces took up positions on the left bank of the dnieper in the kherson region, the american institute for the study of war announced. humenyuk also reported that due to the appearance of such information, the russian occupiers increased shelling on the left bank of the kherson region . vladyslav , we congratulate you, we congratulate you. good night. these can be deliberate omissions, as you generally explain what happened. in this context, this is the case with the institute for the study of war, and here it is simply this information has a consequence, as ms. humenyuk said, the russians have already increased the shelling of the left bank of the kherson region because of this whale. and friends, with all my respect for

the american institute of war involvement, it is still such a public organization that realizes its mission with certain grants, it is extremely really important, because she is actually engaged in the systematization of those data that can be collected in open sources regarding the situation on the battlefield, and mrs. bumenyuk, she is the official spokesperson, respectively, in the direction and her the information that the information agency spreads, it is verified, the fact that it does not need verification and specific, it is obvious that the current war is a hybrid and one of the components of this hybrid aggression and the russian federation , it is clear that to the strict ukraine, who is the information? we all understand very well that the word is a weapon and this weapon can be extraordinary and vulnerable, it is obvious that the opposition plans to change it, it is thorough and it is based on any information that can threaten the life and health of ukrainian

soldiers as well as peaceful residents of of the regions in question, it is not simple, it is obvious that ukraine will start a large-scale contrast in time, but when it will happen, in what way, on which part of the front, however , you know a very small number of officials , or rather, the profile deputy minister of defense of ukraine, mrs. gana malera, absolutely clearly from services noted by the way, what to comment on the topic of the outline of the rest of the scheme has three officials of our country, the president , the minister of defense and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces of ukraine, absolute service and relevant remarks, therefore, our american partners from the izv, but this position is absolutely guaranteed and corresponds to the current reality, because shelling , including kherson and the kherson region , due to some information showers, is extremely dangerous because of those

shots. i am interested. maybe you will help me find an answer to the question and what does this or that institution bring to those or other countries, which are now at an extremely important moment for ukraine, and on the eve of the counteroffensive, they are voicing forecasts they are talking about the counteroffensive this gives them some kind of political i don't know expert points why it is so important for everyone to talk about the counteroffensive of ukraine of course someone is trying to acquire certain political gains someone is trying to create an image of themselves in this way the image of a well-known or great expert or the viewer has different motivations and different can be prepared, i can only speak for myself , obviously the mission and formation of society is important to me, because the messages that we often hear from the official

republican headquarters of other power structures of our countries, they are quite stingy and they do not reveal the details of these or other e-e processes taking place at the front, and the general public of our population seeks the details of these processes, what to expect from these or other situations , what to hope for. to the forces of ukraine, if there is a military formation , i am focusing my activities on this, because it is obvious that the country has the right to know more than war, including information, and it is very important to fill it completely with informational resources of ukrainian old the same space, otherwise, this information vessel was to supplement a completely different one, and friends for us, very much information , mr. seleznyov, i also wanted to share with you on the hottest areas of the front, so lately it has been bakhmut and avdiyivka. do you think that

vugledar can join this list of cities because it is mr. dmitrashkivskyi, the head of the joint press center of the defense village of the tauri direction , spoke about the fact that now russian troops can storm this very city. this is not news. the fact is that the russians are against the past which units were restored in key or 5 weeks, then the complaints that were proven stormed by the owner of those previous pushes of the russians to find critical losses in us , for which they were forced to pull up reference reserves, including reserves more near the front, move new ones, the value of old ones in the russian federation, now they are to some extent on an umbrella and even more so if you look at the intensification of military operations by such soldiers, including those used by airline companies , the same aviation cabin is extremely dangerous bombs that are able to be aimed with the help of additional equipment with a fairly high volume, now russia is actively

used in the medical area of ​​the jump. therefore , there are obviously such risks, there are such threats to the critical workers of combat operations on this area of ​​the front, and here we have to be much older , but in addition to the direction of the expensive strike we we also have about quite pleasant hellish events that take place in the forest near the crime zone. this is much further north in the territory of the luhansk region. we also have to remember about certain aggressive days that they are trying to organize his advantage is to feed all the equipment and weapons in the direction of the piles, he has the right to have the most critical sections of the front , about which the whole world of knowledge bakhmut maryinka avdiyivka a is part of the front - this is russia accumulating resources and reserves to be able to attack our position and hoping on a certain basis, will they be able to implement it ? probably not, because too much effort is being put into

the ukrainian soldiers here and now in order for any efforts to be real to implement the same previous plan, then regarding exiting the administrator of the donetsk border of the salovetsky region, this has remained putin's delusions and aspirations, which in no way will turn into reality . may, taking into account their love for certain sacred dates, er, er, er, what to expect , in your opinion, it will mostly be battles , clashes on the front line, attempts to storm on those hot, hottest areas of the front, or maybe the russian federation will succeed in the next mass missile fire, which, by the way, we have not observed for a long time since the month of march. yes, the last attempts were attempts to feel

our air defense system after we received the newest patriot systems. the fact is that, in fact, for 6 weeks in a row, the russians used precisely mass missile fire using rocket man basing the class of caliber or air equipment fast hole 755 in fact it says that russia is on hooded resources , the resource of self-missiles, which way to use moonshine is known for sure, but i i miss the thoughts that most likely instead of this way they will be directed to disrupt ukrainian corners, how they can first of all launch missiles at our railway key nodes through which the supply of military equipment from our defense partners can be carried out, they can aim with these with rockets or salt on the bridges that connect the banks of our rivers with the key rivers, they can

invade the objects of the energy structures for which they provide the activity of the railway about the structure of our countries such an option if you can’t. maybe these rocket russians can use any other methods, but here i didn’t advise focusing on certain dates. yes, russia is a symbolist, but i didn’t think that here now they save themselves on these dates , most likely. they are trying to act as rationally as possible so that slow down as much as possible the process of preparing the ukrainian army for the contour, it is much more important for them. well, we have to be many. we have to do a very important thing, we just got wet in relation to the internet, to send a denunciation, because this is exactly what ensures the preservation of life and health of all of us, because if you do, you will not forget about those who

defend us, they will help with all their might, and the armed forces of ukraine, in fact, we owe it to them on a warm sunny day that was the day before, after which you and i are already discussing the results of the past week vladyslav seleznyov, a military expert and ex-spokesman of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine, was in touch with us, olena is joining us symonenko regional policy expert ms. olena welcome, welcome, let's start our conversation with internally displaced persons , 4.8 million of them are registered in our state, so said ms. vereshchuk . displaced persons and are these problems different from what happened six months or a year ago, is it meant that these problems are being solved in general? thank you for

the question , i want to add a little excursion into history. firstly, there was a massive invasion from february 24. last year, we talk about hbo, we forget a little about what we had before february 24. that is, we can say that at the beginning of the war , 1:3 million vpu were officially registered in our country, and today in we have also registered those who became idps after the 24th - this is another 3 to 5 million people. that is, we are saying that about 30% of what we have today officially registered as idps are people who have been in this status since the 15th and when we talk about the problem of vpu, we should also say no only about the problems that have arisen among current idps, but also among

those who have been such idps for 6-7 years. i can say that literally a week ago, we did analytics, collected data on modular towns, that is, such an interesting thing that we have in ukraine, there is a situation where there are seven modular towns in dnipropetrovsk oblast, kharkiv oblast, zaporizhia oblast, where about 2,000 people live, who have been living there since 2015, that is, you can imagine that in ukraine, for 7-8 years, people have been living in e- and tin wagons, in fact, in which during all this time the windows have been changed several times, the washing machines have been changed and so on, but still i can say that well, in my opinion, it cannot be like this. for people to live in such conditions for such a long time, the first is the second in principle, places for the temporary stay of idps have been created in the same regions

, but they are created in capital buildings there , kindergartens, schools, and so on, where, in my opinion , the conditions are more suitable than in those modular towns, but we still have them in general, i can say that there are 40 such modular towns in ukraine, only 18 in the kyiv region, which were created last year so that while the reconstruction of slightly damaged buildings was taking place , people from the kyiv region could stay there after the deoccupation returned and did not want to move to other territories , that is, such an example that i saw with my own eyes becomes clear that, well, banal problems with the placement of internally displaced persons exist, they have existed there for more than one year, the second big problem is because of the fact that we understand that

employment of idps because not all of them at the level of the regional government succeeded and not all objects were systematically transferred so that people could get a job. i know exactly the examples when the donetsk military regional administration pavlo kyrylenko directly to the hospitals with equipment from the donetsk region when i entered the village of i know the ternopil region of the lviv region, the ternopil region of the zakarpattia region, where simply doctors with equipment were arranged part by part of the existing e-e hospitals in non-working hospitals for that in order to work, the same thing happened with theaters, the same was not allowed in libraries , but i repeat, not these enterprises, it was possible to move them, so the big problem today for idps is employment, well, at least the day before. some of the problems were resolved at a government meeting and the prime minister reported denis myhal in the government , i would like to remind you, made a decision that the debts for communal services will not be collected from internally displaced persons who left the temporarily occupied territories or territories where

hostilities are taking place ms. elena thank you for olena symonenko joined the broadcast, regional policy experts were with us, we are moving forward, don't switch the same news together, we are strong, the armed forces need drones, make your contribution, scan the qr-code, congratulations on the marathon , our favorite news , the rada tv team is working for you, we keep our finger on the pulse and summarize for you, the main thing is in the center of events news time on the air of the marathon the only news ukrainian tv channels have united united the whole country together we are a force my name is olena morozova congratulations ukraine is preparing for several important international events this will help increase the amount of military aid, president volodymyr
