an object for mining by russia , the territories and buildings of the nuclear power plant actually contribute not only to this russian sound , but to terror in general. processing of plastic parts for the complete set of the armed forces from bottles and caps, they will make clips for helmets, tail parts for ammunition and much more . potential investors liked the idea so much that a team from katyusha was invited to lviv for a special event. what happened next? see the story on the espresso tv channel. guests from katyusha came to visit. this is a village in the kyiv region that was occupied at the beginning of a full-scale invasion. the children of the local lyceum remember with horror the spring of 2022. the first minutes, even the first hours, are not

i understood to the end what was happening. later, i found out that in our school, in general, their headquarters was where they settled. we also had a stadium there, where they took wounded soldiers , that is, they made a living there, as they wanted not to go to school. at first, i was like eu, what are you? and why does he say war classmates i'm sitting i'm walking i couldn't understand what kind of war lord what are they drawing about and it was the first day it's just no , well, it's not clear to me it's already the second day i understood i was considered then and still now the year has come with a hook eh of course the worst and the most terrible thing is in a person - these are memories and conversations about it, for sure, any mention of it is very difficult for me to bear, but in general , i am working on it now, and we are also difficult, and in general i try not to mention it, although i want to, there are still consequences of the occupation

for the children at the moment they help brian, they say that after the deoccupation there was a way to help our military , together with the teachers they developed an eco-plastics project with the help of a ped machine. of recycled plastic bottles, a lot of children today are thinking about how they can join the victory, what is their contribution, understanding what is to contribute is one part, but when you can pragmatically evaluate and see, for example, how the destroyed sports ground of your school, which survived the occupation, is being rebuilt this is a completely different perception. during two months, they were trained in project management , understanding entrepreneurship and social responsibility entrepreneurship, had meetings with

exceptional motivational speakers and at the end of this training, they already presented their own projects at the ukrainian catholic university, a meeting was held to present the project initiated by these talented schoolchildren, the team received a grant for the successful implementation and development of their idea from aerop steam and other leading it companies, each of us has our own dream and this was the second in ours, we were waiting for this check, we were waiting for it on december 7, the second of may , the second of may, but in kyiv because of the promotion projects. today, we finally had this opportunity. the schoolchildren also had a tour to the espresso office, they told the story of the creation of the tv channel, how during the revolution of dignity the channel broadcasted from independence square, they showed how television and mass media work in ukraine, i knew about mass media only from the course of civic education and you know, when you

learn it all, it’s one here you come and see how it all happens in practice and in practice it is actually much more interesting than writing tests and answering that in zhytomyr it is like that . about whether young people can try themselves in this field. the people of katyusha have great ambitions . the team gained new experience and found support. let's hope that it will end in the shortest possible time. let's hope that even our project will somehow help us get closer to victory. if young people will take it upon themselves, it will be simply a very cool future of plastic waste collection faculties oleg of the mass accumulation in katyuzhanka, the collected waste will be transferred to

the educational and production premises there, they plan to sort plastics with the help of a pet machine, to process them into parts for the armed forces later through volunteers, they will be transferred to the front polina karnasyuk volodymyr stodennyi yuriy melnyk tv channel espresso minus russian an officer in temporarily occupied mariupol eliminated at least four russian officers who sat down in the private house of those who left this event happened in the seaside district near porto, as noted by the mayor's advisor petro andrushchenko, friday begins with good news from the mariupol resistance that's all we have time to tell in this issue, you can learn more on our website espresso.tv, also on our social networks

, join, put your favorites and more . now will continue. after the news in the morning at 8:10, you and i talk , if you watch us on youtube, please like it, send the link to your family and friends, and leave a comment after the program, i will rewatch the comments and i am answering those of them who were on the topic of conversation today, the news is that the company that provides water drainage and water supply services is asking to raise the tariff for m.m. water by 33% with such a proposal. says that the price increase can take place as early as july 1, according to his

data, the losses of the water supply industry last year amounted to almost 4.5 billion hryvnias, and let me remind you that there was also talk of increasing electricity tariffs, gas tariffs so far that remain at the previous level, we will talk about larger-scale topics on international topics with pavel martyshev , an expert analyst of the agricultural center of the kyiv school of economics, mr. pavlo. good morning. today, we have an unusual topic for this program, we will talk about african countries and, i would like to start from your work from the work of the agricultural center, i suspect that many people were involved there. and why did you become interested in the economic interaction between ukraine and africa?

why did you choose this region? economists pay little attention to it, this is true, and in fact there is very little reliable information on the african market, so i did not understand what the format of cooperation between ukraine and africa should be, should it be humanitarian grain or commercial grain, should it be supplied to different countries or to one country, and here is there are many questions, the answers to which are quite difficult, because we have a lot of problems, we have weak institutions, and recently a large batch of humanitarian food was stolen in ethiopia and this food was sold to someone and it did not reach population, how to deal with this, there are many questions, it is necessary to investigate, it is necessary to understand that the population of africa will grow and that the restoration of the agricultural sector of ukraine

is tied to saving africans from hunger, moreover, i would say that african countries are playing today is such an important political role, we have seen that african leaders travel around the world and try to propose some peace plans in order to stop russia's aggressive war against ukraine, but what kind of peace plan is it for our benefit or for the benefit of the russians? well, here it is easy to guess who is currently activating all such peaceful initiatives. well, before that, i would like to remind you that our ministry of foreign affairs announced that it will open 10 embassies in different african countries and thus demonstrated that it will deal with this continent separately and specially. this is the political weight that is being acquired countries of africa, it is somehow related

to their economic development . is it so simple here that their voices are involved in international structures such as the un ? there is no such strong economic development in african countries, they are falling further and further behind developed countries. yes, you said correctly about 10 representatives, 10 embassies are already in african countries and 10 more are planning to open, and we even found a connection between uh, respectively, embassies between the presence and volumes of trade of agrarian ukraine and african countries, it is necessary to develop it, it is necessary both at the national level and at the branch level. i am talking about agricultural

attachés, which are extremely important for that to export food from ukraine to africa, but with regard to such a political agenda here , it does not apply to the food industry in any way, this is geopolitics, it is the pushing of the russian narrative, and, as an agrarian economist, i want to say that the governments of many american countries are not interested in therefore, in order to feed the population, they are interested in the population being hungry, poor and voting for their dictators, so there is no need to create any illusions about the fact that everyone in africa wants their population fed, the situation is much more complicated. well, what you described is actually similar to the russian situation, where the russian hinterland lives in poverty and votes for putin to support

this war of aggression, but if we return to the issue of food, you say that the african population is really starving. first of all, i understand that africa is heterogeneous. there are more prosperous countries and less prosperous countries. is it possible to somehow structure these, unfortunately, i don’t know, hmm, maybe there is some kind of division, geopolitical, intra-african. and secondly, whether the situation with hunger in africa is changing, as far as i can remember, my parents , when they were young, went to help the poor in africa. we have a political tool under hunger, we are talking about

malnutrition, that is, there are also starvation deaths, but mainly we are talking about the fact that one in five africans goes to bed and is hungry, that is, it is a small thing, this is malnutrition due to a whole generation of children cannot it's normal to study at school, let's tell them about impromptu, there are not enough calories, if we talk about the geographical distribution, then north and west and south africa, the situation there is moderate, in general, there is also hunger, but not very strong. in terms of the number of starving people, it is from 250 to 300 million e-e people, they do not receive calories and the share of the teaching population is decreasing in decimal terms, that is, now it is less than

20, somewhere 15-20%. but i'll interrupt you, uh, we're on on the screens right now we can see exactly your study and it is on the website of the kyiv school of economics, you can go and read everything we are talking about in more detail with graphs, diagrams , links to sources , etc. just a map, er, regarding the prevalence of hunger in 2019-21, where are the darker colors there, er, except for violet-purple, the worst there is central africa, just as you said , the situation there is the worst. well, there is simply no purple data, that is, there is also a lack of data for africa. with

with data problems yes well, of course, there are high problems with data here, so we apologize for interrupting you about the dynamics of africa , we were talking about how the situation changed over time , the number of starving people is plus or minus stable, but on the other hand, the share of starving people is decreasing due to the fact that the demographic boom in africa should take into account the fact that the security of african countries is also declining earlier, even there 10-15 years ago, some african countries exported food, now they do not export. accordingly, we are talking about the fact that famine can accelerate and it can accelerate because of many dense people, this is due to economic factors and

macroeconomic factors, this is a procession - this is inflation, and so on. climate change , if we talk about the geopolitical choice of african countries, we know that some of them quite openly support russia, and some hesitate, some take a right-wing ukrainian position, and here are the countries that support russia or is there any dependence on the economic condition, are they poorer and hungrier than other countries that choose a pro-western view of the world? this is quite an interesting question. and in fact , the answer here is very simple . russia's partner countries are starving. there are only two examples . the first example is the central african republic. where, by the way, pvk wagner, and there the percentage of starving people is higher among african countries, and there after the congo, after

the congo e there are from 40 to 60% of starving people, and the second example is zimbabwe, where about half er, starving people out of a population of 15 million, and we see that the president of zimbabwe spoke er in russia. he was very supportive of russia . it seems to me that in principle, in order to overcome hunger, it would be better to choose more civilized partners than russia and then the problem of hunger will somehow decrease, we see that politics and economics are interrelated, even geopolitics and economics are interrelated and sometimes even it depends on this whether your child will eat enough and whether he will have prospects in the world as it is happening now in africa well with

russia accuses us of propagandism through all its channels . it is precisely ukraine that does not supply food to africa. on the negative side, there is also manipulation of facts and concealment of some facts, well, let's start with the fact that ukraine really sends most of its grain to europe and asia, but the grain market is global if ukraine sends a lot of grain to europe this means that europe sends more grain to africa , for example, france at the beginning of last season was very active in exporting its own wheat to algeria and west africa , where they have historical post-collegial ties, such ties are quite strong, this was possible due to the fact that ukrainian grain was going this

is the first part of the story . supplied through the united nations food program and through the initiative of the game from ukraine, which is part of this program, half a million tons of wheat were delivered at the beginning of the grain agreement in the poor country of sub-sikh africa. as for russia , in fact, russia does not supply grain to we conducted sub-sykharan, there is also a study on our website about where russia sends its own wheat, it is turkey, it is egypt, it is iran, uh, from celzhir from sub-sykharan

africa, there seems to be only congo and everything in addition, russia does not participate in humanitarian programs . that is, humanitarian grain is not supplied free of charge , and russia has also not canceled the export duty on its own wheat, which is quite high, and this african delegation that arrived in russia could ask don't they want to cancel the export duty and make grain cheaper for african countries, so far russia doesn't want it, it wants to earn money to receive additional income in the budget because of the famine in africa well, moreover, russia constantly interferes with the work of the grain corridor and prevents ukraine from exporting grain, we know that this will be a question literally because of one question, because i want to say ask about the global market, you mentioned that there is a global match on the grain market, what is the situation there now with prices and food supply we

remember that a year ago, prices were extremely high, and it was a topic for the organization of nations from them , and then somehow things got better. well , in the winter, at least, they said that prices were already falling . starting last summer, prices fell and there was such optimism on the market, but i said at the beginning of spring that in fact the food crisis is not over, the food crisis was masked by a large global harvest that was essentially accidental , that is, climatic risks in many regions have greatly decreased. we received high yields in australia high impressive in brazil ah in principle the reduction of climate risks in the eu and in the usa now climate risks are returning and this

pushes prices down the throat and if we look at the futures of the chakal exchange or the paris exchange have not been actively growing over the past two to three weeks, and this is connected, firstly, with climate risks , and secondly, with increased inflationary risks , the economy is fed up with uncertainty regarding the grain corridor, because we have soon there will be a harvest of winter crops and it is not clear how it will get to foreign markets due to the fact that russia is blocking the grain agreement, here we are again back to the grain agreement, there is no escape from it, it turns out to be a global factor, we know that by 16 in july, the agreement is in effect. well, what exists now is the case because russia sometimes blocks the passage of ships through the bosphorus strait as part of its inspections, but still, the grain agreement is now in effect. and what will happen on july 16,

i read it literally before our with you is with you the inclusion that the ministry of foreign affairs is almost 99%, hmmm i think that there will be no continued water by russia and this is so is it not so possible that this is some kind of fake news just so far some kind of situation is that so so so simply this way that russia demands er to pump ammonia through the ammonia pipeline that was blown up, that is, in principle, there she puts forward such interesting conditions, and here we also see a counteroffensive, and this will push russia more in order to withdraw from the grain agreement and, as far as i understand, it was predicted that in our calculations

of economic as a country, what can be the situation that the grain agreement will not be valid for a month, plus or minus, yes, absolutely yes, plus , before that, on july 16, the rates regarding the extension or non-extension of the grain agreement will be much higher, but they were in march, because in march we don't have many old stocks left, i guess up to 15 million tons, but on july 16 there will already be a collection company for winter crops, and this means that we will need more desks than there at the beginning of spring, and here there is really a risk that russia either it will withdraw from the e-e grain agreement completely or it will again be such rather slow inspections on the bosphorus, one or two

vessels per day, and this will cause significant losses to our economy and increase the threat of hunger in the world. i hope that the organization understands this as well from them, the nation and in turkey, which claimed to be a mediator, for a very long time resolved this issue and actually supported the ukrainian race, although in words , of course, they were ours and yours, mr. pavlyk. thank you, we are running out of time for conversation. the agreement on hunger in africa, we talked about the fact that the political choice of the leaders of african countries is related to the economic state or , on the contrary, the economic state is related to their political choice, here is the question: how does it work , what is the first, what is the second, and so on. topic and in the future, since the topic of africa and the influence of african countries in africa remains important and even grows now, this is all andriy yanitskyi, the host

of the economic program on the espresso tv channel , was with you, we will see you on monday live at 8:10 after the news in the morning, together we will win jokes with pepper humor with victory from the creators of the sketch show nashi bez rashi meets on june 13 in lviv in the theater named after maria zankovetska at 19:00 and on june 26 in kyiv in the october palace at 19:00 the best sketches from nashi bez rashi and counteroffensive, join because victory
