[000:00:00;00] the most important thing is that the zone of possibility to carry out transit is preserved, because if we look at our trade relations within the framework of the five countries that we are voicing, they are not so large, that is, to a greater extent, these territories are used in the form of transportation of our products to other countries of the european zone or through the use ports to other continents, that is why the position on transit is maintained , no one will cancel transit as poland did on april 15, for what exactly they will surely bear some legal responsibility taking into account that such actions are recognized by brussels as illegal in relation to further work. well, we are watching, of course, we hear that negotiations are taking place. almost every day for the next week, it was reported from brussels that there will be a meeting of the european commission regarding the possible extension of the program without cleaning the floor for ukraine. in fact, what list of products will be preserved? well, we will follow and we will

of course talk about it, we hope that our interests will be taken into account, but the position of poland as our main ally how poland at least positions itself and is actually a lobbyist the advocate of our interests in the west, she is quite strange, at least in this context. thank you for joining our broadcast . denys marchuk, deputy chairman of the all -ukrainian agrarian council, was in marathon. further news in brief: russian troops continue to shell sumy oblast. this is reported by ova of sumy. during april 26, russians shelled 5 border communities as a result of one of the shellings, two civilians were wounded , in addition, a tractor was blown up by a mine, as a result of the explosion

understand that and hope that on these dates that are in this time table yes 23rd 26th year this victory and recovery will come and it will be after the end of the war after our victory and in fact those are the foundations that we will continue to build with this plan because this is not something new, this is a continuation of our already ongoing cooperation we will actually work in this direction for a long time, what is the current state of the financial system of ukraine, are we in danger of plunging into an economic crisis and should we let the dollar float freely, what will drive small and medium-sized businesses this year and how long will our western partners support us for these and other questions will be answered by serhii marchenko , minister of finance of ukraine. at this stage, i am

more optimistic than even six months ago on friday in the information slot of the tv channel rada tell me honestly how are we we are all going through so much right now that we don't put our minds to it, that's why it happens that the chest feels like it's burning and it feels like there's nothing to breathe, this body responds to the heavy emotions of sadness, despair, anger , the mental health program, how do you tell how to cope with such feelings , go to how are you. com to find out zelensky spoke and all at a price for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale war, according to the president of ukraine the conversation was long and meaningful from the conversation the chinese leader told

zelensky his vision of the steps that should be taken to do to end the war in ukraine, the chinese government agency writes , what is the agency talking about? partnership, the head of the people's republic of china noted that they created the ukrainian crisis, and as a permanent member of the un security council and a responsible large country, china will not sit idly by and add oil to vogon and even more so will not use the situation for personal purposes. ihor petrenko, political scientist, i congratulate you together. so, if we talk about zelenskyi’s phone conversation with infin , how far can these contacts go, or can this interaction really affect this cooperation, can it affect the course of this war

? now, in principle, it is too early to talk about it. we see that china for a long period of time remained aloof from the events that took place in ukraine only relatively recently, although it is forming its position the so-called chinese plan, accordingly, is possible in which there are positions that correspond to the national interests of ukraine, and in particular the first paragraph, which deals with territorial integrity and, accordingly, respect for sovereignty, so of course there are positions with which we can work, plus let's remember that the chinese is the largest trading partner of ukraine and still remains eh and eh, this is also a lot, respectively, which speaks of the mutual interest of the two countries, respectively, on the other hand, we also perfectly

understand that china has its own track of relations with the russian federation, er. some people call them allies. some others say something else. i am convinced that china is acting in its own interests and less likely to take into account the strategic interests of the russian federation itself. but nevertheless, of course there are positions with which we can work. points about which we also have to remember, in addition, the chinese, he, well, he is trying to gain his political greatness, well, it is clear that in economic terms, china has a serious influence on world processes, according to the geopolitical , well, this definitely does not correspond to the economic the position he occupies, that is, he has certain ambitions and ambitions, he will look for a success story

. well, if it is ukraine, taking into account our interests, of course. in the period that immediately followed the scandalous statements of the ambassador of the people's republic of china in france about the sovereignty of the post-soviet countries about the status of crimea, you connect this exactly with the call of these lands and the conversation with the byzantine volodymyr zelenskyi with exactly what they tried to do in this way to rule situation and somehow it is possible to settle one's guilt. well, i think that what happened in france was to a greater extent an attempt to probe the copper of these relations between the european union and the united states of america, in particular after the visit of the corresponding macron to china, and there was a slightly different task in that he he said, er, sizinpin’s call, the conversation with zelenskyi was being prepared for a long time. president zelenskyi, accordingly , sizinpin himself spoke about it. he said about this that he wants to talk to

all parties to the corresponding conflict, therefore , according to ukraine, did it come to pass? theoretically, you can say that, but since, well, look, the reaction was quite harsh , and the european diplomats and the french counterpart and many other countries. the peace plan, which was the previous one that was voiced by the chinese side, but to say that these talks took place solely because there were such statements, er, was it solely an attempt to somehow put out a certain fire? well, i think no. china, after all, he can afford not to react to certain things , let's say, but we understand that he has very close ties

with the european union, so it is unlikely that he was directly pushed and told that he must be er, the reaction to similar statements by the diplomat. and why were they? well, this is a separate question, but based on the statement that we heard that china, as a major player, will not stand aside and at the same time will not add fuel to the fire, well, this is a kind of neutral position and obviously what china's future actions will not change because , well, in the opinion of the russians, in the opinion of the kremlin, those who help ukraine immediately begin to become an enemy, they add fuel to the fire, right. to help and why why don’t you care how later i apologize simply because of putin’s convictions they drive impino and

russia and the chinese are great brotherly nations these are purely rhetorical techniques absolutely china stands on absolutely pragmatic positions he benefits from the russian federation from the point of view of the resources that he can get him the lung of the russian federation , what kind of poodle he puts in front of the event so that these arrows of anger towards the author of authoritarianism and hostility fly precisely to the russian federation. and it is beneficial for him to use the russian federation as a bargaining chip in dialogue and negotiations with the west, including with the united states of america, that is why i see an absolutely pneumatic position here, and we are not talking about any big fraternal nations, but rather a rhetorical technique used by both parties well, okay, but we understand that there is here, we have to read between the lines, and there is, and as they say, that’s why china takes a completely

independent position from the russian federation and the chinese, and the country, which, let’s say , can hide behind these rhetorical techniques and completely different actions, therefore, to what and to whom russia will write well, there is no particularly important significance for china, its way, china wants to get its type , greatness, its place conditionally under the sun in the world, we see how much effort is being made in other regions yes, here we can also mention his successes in the negotiations regarding the normalization of iran, respectively, and saudi arabia, and this is a successful case for him, respectively, so the position is that we will not add oil there and so on. this is an absolutely traditional approach

nothing else should be meant by china or from it, but let's also understand that schalke is weighing scales when this process is already as obvious as possible to everyone, they can encourage china to other actions and to other appropriate rhetoric and rhetorical techniques in relation to another country about great fraternal nations, recalling how this contact was brewing, a phone call in august 22nd, the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyy said that they would not leave china for the contact in march of this year. that is, we see how the situation has changed dramatically in a month, the contact took place and how important it is to understand who is the initiator of such a dialogue. so, what can we do? if you can briefly tell us what we can offer to china, well , the initiator, of course, was the ukrainian side, president zelenskyi, who long ago noted the need to increase

of our diplomatic efforts to latin america in asia , especially in china, especially against the background of statements that china can theoretically supply weapons to the russian federation there . the cartridge was not supplied by china about the weapons yes, there were guns there well and so on, these were still statements, by the way, more from the media, so i am absolutely correct that there are no confirmations ukraine, well, look first, now china, what i'm not mistaken, this was one of those countries that purchased quite a lot of grain under the grain agreement, respectively, from ukraine, and again, it is our largest trading partner , they were also interested in our certain technologies in certain areas , the military-industrial complex, and so on further, therefore, here is a rather wide field plus logistics, the very location of geographical ukraine, and

by the way, well, the war is hitting china's plans to improve the goals of logistics to increase china's economic influence, so here we will build up, we will look for a new silk way 2:0, so to speak, with the help of our hopefully new strong partners, thank you ihor petrenko, a political scientist , joined our broadcast, the museum of the war or muscovy , historians and kyivans are considering what to place in the premises of the embassy of the russian federation while the property behind the building was not nationalized, but the kyiv council broke it up the land lease agreement , the plot for the diplomatic institution in the solomyan district of the capital was leased for three dozen years, but two days before the start of the full staff invasion, the employees

of the institution left, which they propose to place in building oleksandr kryvokulsky learned the museum of the true history of russia in the building of the embassy of the aggressor state, this idea was put forward by the ukrainian historian oleksandr afrorov. he proposes to place in the premises of the russian embassy interactive expositions about the culture, daily life, religion and barbarism of russians , this evil is their standard model of behavior that has existed for more than half a thousand years and just in order to demonstrate that this evil has existed for so long that this evil has always existed on these terms, it is necessary to create a true museum , the only and the first museum of true in the world in the history of muscovy, the diplomats of the russian federation used this building for almost 30 years, since 1992. it is located on 40 hundredths of land in the solomyan district of the capital. on april 20 of this year, 70 kyiv city council members terminated the lease agreement with the embassy by three votes. now the plot is again on the balance sheet of the city, we consider it appropriate

also to break any uh-huh hmm let's say yes relationships that ah well provide for their right to use property or land in the city of kyiv, it is historically important at the present moment to demonstrate to the whole world that russian diplomacy is not diplomacy. and this is actually one of the regular methods of fighting against the europeans regarding the creation of a unique museum in moscow on the territory and in the building of the russian embassy. the opinions of those interviewed by us were divided. there should be some kind of revival of such a ukrainian direction , a true story about katsap russia should be written here for the needs of the community, also a deputy

of the kyiv council appealed to the government to withdraw building and property and transfer it to the state ownership ukraine and europe must do everything so that the enemy does not have a theoretical opportunity to break our energy system, volodymyr zelenskyi said this at the conference on the restoration of ukraine in rome, the head of state said that europe and ukraine survived a difficult winter but despite actions of russia europe has withstood now our common goal is to prevent new challenges italy is one of the leaders in creating smart networks smart greats therefore i invite your companies to develop ukrainian networks together and please do not forget

that in the future , ukrainian networks will be networks of the european union. challenges what are these new challenges that you see in front of everyone for our energy industry , well, first of all, these are challenges that are related to the economy of the energy industry with a huge deficit of funds and huge debts that have accumulated on the electricity market in ukraine , it is tens of billions of hryvnias, and unfortunately, practically all ukrainian energy companies are operating at a loss, and here the government officials face a very difficult question, on the one hand, raising prices is not a popular solution, and on the other hand, if it is not it is simply impossible to do that, it will be normal to prepare for the winter with our energy units

and then it will be very difficult to go through the winter stably and this dilemma must be solved somehow and unfortunately, unfortunately, we found ourselves in such a quagmire according to which it is necessary to make a rather radical decision, because by itself the price increase there or some small changes in the market will not do anything for us , this market model that has been in place for three years has been introduced because there are more than 100 different changes, but there are no results. debts are only growing. that is why it is necessary to change the model of the electricity market that currently exists in a more liberal way. from my point of view, the market should be transparent for everyone, for

industry and for the population. but for those people who cannot pay e-e market prices, there are a lot of them, we understand that there should be targeted compensation from the state budget and in other . by the way, i said this at the beginning, when this market began to operate, and i said that this market model would be ineffective, it would not work normally , so i think that just some minimal changes that increase or decrease prices are nothing will be given, if

the fundamental system of the market model is not changed, first of all, this concerns the system of the supplier of special responsibilities, according to this model, energy companies such as energoatom and hydroenergo will even compensate for the price difference between the population and the market price annually more than 150 billion hryvnias, in addition to that, imagine how much this amount is, in addition, you know that we need to do some repairs, we have to do major damage. you need to think about how to get out of this difficult situation and sooner or later you will have to accept e

, including the most popular ones. what is the current state of current export, electricity export, in particular , your quote, you said that a full-fledged export of dc electricity would bring ukraine an additional billion hryvnias per month, and a billion hryvnias per month is a-a lot or not enough considering what you said about the need to subsidize 150 billion annually well, i think that at least it would be good too this is a serious contribution so that our basic energy companies would be able to buy some equipment, buy fuel and somehow prepare for winter although this money is absolutely not enough, but unfortunately we see that slovakia's exports have stopped since april 21. first of all, why did it stop because, well

, in my opinion, what did not work well here , first of all, with the ministries of energy and did not develop e-e documents on time joint auctions for the crossing of the slovak republic. although experts there have been talking about this for a long time, since last year, that it should be done. and the company ukrenergo warned about it, but for some reason this bureaucratic fabric did not allow it to react in time and we are losing a lot of money because of it there. well, i think that this must be corrected urgently , mr. volodymyr, the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, speaking before the participants of the conference on the restoration of ukraine in rome , he spoke not only about ukraine and about the restoration of ukraine, he also spoke uh and about europe, because europe, in particular, has experienced a difficult and difficult winter, despite all

the expectations and horror stories of the russian federation that europe will freeze, they said until the end that europe is freezing in hunger and cold , but you see, it did not happen as expected, but there are new challenges a journalistic investigation has appeared that indicates that the russian federation may be preparing sabotage against wind power plants, gas pipelines , communication cables in europe, and this forced even high-level euro officials to react, ursula fondelaien, she made a statement speaking on the summit of government leaders on offshore wind energy in the north sea said that now the infrastructure of the european union is under threat and is preparing for the worst case scenario how serious can everything be in your opinion if you can briefly well it can be very serious we can see it in the north stream an hour in the north stream-2, i developed my investigation in

the corresponding article, wrote a article where i clearly prove that russia did it, then it can do the same with cables and, therefore, with underwater infrastructure, first of all with oil pipelines gas pipelines that go from norway to continental europe this is the most sensitive topic for europeans uh that's why we need to be extremely careful here and strengthen monitoring security measures in this regard well, thank you. so, did you want to add something else? volodymyr well, i just wanted to ukraine, together with europe, is united. it is impossible for us to win. i think that we will cope with all these challenges. the main thing is not to be afraid of russia, because it is precisely this that is the biggest problem - it is fear. there is nothing worse than

fear itself. together, we will cope, thank you. who joined the broadcast of volodymyr melchenko, the director of the generative programs of the razumkova center, work was with us, maria. this is exactly what serhiy said about his service in the ato, the main thing for him was to protect his ukraine and his loved ones , that is why he joined the ranks of the military back in 2014 and died in the east from an enemy bullet sniper, his story, our correspondence, was told by daughter anna and comrades who continued serhiy's case even during the full staff war . what does the presence of my father feel when he talks to him in his mind, we had an incredible connection with him. incredible love. i understand that now i gave everything to just sit down and talk to him

. i don't have enough of it . her struggle has been going on since the first days of the maidan, i remember how i watched the news and just cried, although i was only 13 years old , but some kind of patriotism inside me at that time had already awakened in may 14th. serhiy signed up for the military commissariat right there with him i met yuriy, the first wave of mobilization, we met with him at the military committee. well, i realized that if there was nothing to do here at home, we had to go and do something to defend even in ukraine, and from the first days we went to the service together with him, he was a platoon commander, they remember that he was completely dedicated to his work however, i had to tell my family about the service. he came home very rarely. it was supposed to be some kind of holiday there , maybe it was my birthday. he always liked to make surprises. i was waiting for him on my birthday when he was asked at the table

tell us something about the war. i saw how his eyes became glassy, ​​filled with hatred, and he said you don't need to know that. he also defended his brothers. they remember him as a real commander . he never even when she was in the east. you are young people there, let's go behind, er, always go forward alone, and then they would be followed by such a person who could be trusted with their back. on one of the days of the defense of the east, a russian sniper took aim at serhiy and hit him to save him. i succeeded. i didn't believe it for a long time. in fact, i still don't believe it to this day, because i feel that he is somewhere here, he is with me somewhere , every time i pass through my city, i go to the grave, i don't tell anyone about it, i can just leave to say i went for a walk to come and talk with him to tell how it
