[000:00:00;00] putin, but they forget that russian culture is actually prague and budapest, which are not communist culture, but russian culture, they say that russian culture is genocide because of the holodomor, russian culture is an attack on finland, russian culture is occupation, the same tyves, where shoigu comes from, yes , this is russian culture, it has always been the same, because they, it is one and the same mechanism, no matter how they change the name of the country, muscovy, kingdom, russia. the ssr, the russian federation, the same country, the same mechanisms. but the problem is that even our best friends in the west, intellectuals, politicians, they, some of them at least, tend to believe that this is putin's war, not the russian people's, and that something simply went wrong, russia can be fixed, the regime must be changed, stopped propaganda, and reaches the point of absurdity, as the famous writer , slavenka drakulich, who says that

the suffering of a ukrainian mother who... lost her son in the war and the suffering of a russian mother who lost her son in the war are comparable. how to get there and why, in your opinion, is so difficult to understand in the west the deep reasons of this war, that this is not putin's war, that they are coming here and killing our people, not because someone is beating them with a stick. i sincerely thank you for raising this topic at the lviv book forum when you asked slovianka drakolovych these questions, yes, drakovich, about the occasion. in this situation, the mother's pain is indeed, it is always a pain, the father's pain, yes, but really, the one who sent the son to kill, and the one who sent the son to protect, including, the son went to protect, listen, well, let's do it , just to understand that the border is banal the line on the map, yes, no, we, we do not protect this line on the map, we protect, i protect my four children, my wife, my

mother, my grandmother, i protect them, because for me they are my little country, it is clear that the border is a line, but behind this line are hidden huge sacred landmarks, cultural landmarks, emotionality , in fact, and europeans, what do they think, europeans are educated, you understand what is the essence of european civilization, they are educated on the law, the law is private property, you and i have private property, we are with you decided to agree, this is yours, this is mine, signed, made under...' created laws , put seals, created interstate laws and dared there monarchs, churches, italian banks, worldwide, in the middle ages, we have a law, and a law for russia , which is essentially an asian country where there is no such phenomenon, they manipulate it as they want, putin attacked ukraine in 14, full-scale in 22, and that this phallic symbol

of russia. says, he says that svo, so -called theirs, is according to the statutes and regulations of the united nations organization, they turn out to be guided by the provisions of the un when they attacked ukraine, and lavrov says the same thing, their representative in the un says the same thing, a manipulation to which europeans are just, well, they look, think, we are idiots, really, how is it, we agreed about the architecture of peace and stability, and they say, well, so do we, and that's the point... europeans don't understand one thing, not the communists, you know, the museum of totalitarianism in prague, and in budapest, yes, communist evil is shown there. well, open your eyes, it's not communist evil, it's russian evil, no need to say that there was communism, now another dangerous term has been thrust into us, racism, here racism, but not racism, not putinism, not communism, not some other, the very essence of this country, of this

people, absolutely, threaten, they and the russians created communism as one of the ideologies for attacking finland, attacking germany in the plans, that was the ideology, now they use the idea of ​​racism of that, but that term itself is harmful, because of racism, that's just their mentality, well then the key question , this mentality is not going anywhere it will happen, it was formed for centuries, literally, and we will still have to live here, which everyone must do: for us , in order to break this spiral of history, this eternal war, ukraine's eternal attempt to fight back its independence from russia, the key is the russian word victory, there was trouble, it passed, i put my head up, victory , there is another word for good in slavic languages, i poles say zlytenstvo, yes, we say victory, to win, jumped over, went over,

swam over, won, won. superpower, every day you have to do your work and one superpower, you understand, this is the victory, the price, not just to do your own thing, but with superpowers , to sacrifice yourself so that we defeat the enemy who is now holding 190 nations, 189, in his captivity, and we need this state to cease to exist , because if we even reach the border today, in 15 years, they will come again in 10 years , this is their mentality, they cannot live without fighting with another country, because they did not manage to create a political nation there, there is no russian nation as a whole , there is a population that is governed in exclusively will postulate if it cannot be defeated, after all, we have a historical retrospective, we know that there will be a new round, it is just a postponed war, which will be preceded by suffering, concentration camps, famine, etc., i am very grateful to you for being in

the next you emphasize on this, you need to keep it in your head in order to do this with your own strength, there was a historian, an officer of the armed forces of ukraine, olsandrov, with us. chevorons, approaching victory, in offensive and defensive, day and night, from mockery and confidence, they pave the way to our victory with armor, tank troops... pride armed forces glory to the tankers of the armed forces of ukraine. do not scold the child for sitting with a smartphone. better take care of her safety.

you fall, you get covered with shrapnel, you get up and go, for example, the bem is transferred, we have to destroy someone, definitely, yes, yes, we will kill, well, there are no options here, a documentary project about people who save the country, a hero, today at 11:45 p.m. news the weather does not favor our farmers, the dry autumn slows down the already difficult sowing. according to the forecast of the specialized committee of the parliament , winter crops may be sown this year by 20% less than last year, despite the fact that last year the areas were already reduced to a record. how will it affect the food security of ukraine. we are talking with the deputy chairman of the all-ukrainian agrarian council, denys marchuk. mr. denys, thank you for telling me how critical everything is with sowing, there is no money, because export is very complicated, it is not raining, it is very difficult for farmers. it is not easy for everyone, unequivocally, but in conditions where the agricultural sector forms a larger

share of the country's economy, of course , such signals do not contribute to any encouraging things for the future, because factor number od is, after all, the lack of working capital, which slows down the ability to go into the field on time, to bring in the appropriate... all the necessary material in order to sow work, because it is really a year and a half of war, a year and a half of the company is operating at a loss, prices due to logistics and the war, accordingly, there is no such thing, and the farmers are forced to get out of the situation, or to reduce the number of crops, or to stop their activities altogether, we actually saw this at the beginning, in fact, a full-scale invasion during the sowing of winter crops in in the 22nd year, the area sown under winter crops actually decreased by more than a million. but we sowed about 4.5 million hectares of grain land, but this season it will be less, a little more than 3 million, and this is an indicator of the fact that it is not the lack of price that has a strong influence on what the farmers are oriented to, i.e. a larger share they will

direct more to leguminous oil crops, and in fact we can see that the number, for example, of rapeseed fields, they have not decreased, but even have increased a little, and the rate, for example, in the spring of the crop in the spring of the 24th year , they will also... be for sunflower and soybeans, although sunflowers are unprofitable this season , this is the first time, probably in many years, when farmers suffer losses even for sunflowers, well, the second factor, the most important, is also very important, these are the weather conditions, which also did not allow to fully complete the planned scale of timely introduction of all cereals, and in some places now, in fact, somewhere around 70 there are 80% of the territory of ukraine, which are sown, all others still are being partially refined, but what can we say about in general, for ukraine this does not threaten food security, because all this will be grown much more than we consume, another issue is that it will be very strongly reflected on our export potentials, and therefore currency revenue, which we

so need, in such a difficult time for the country. yes, this is not a story that there will be no bread, although we understand the subconscious fear of many ukrainians, traumatized by the famine in previous generations, the main thing is so that there is bread, there will be bread, there will simply be less money, because farmers will not be able to grow it, sell it and, accordingly , bring this money into the country, and this also has a very negative effect on the economy, what do you see as ways out of the situation, it is clear that well ours must end. that the war will be won and then everything will be much better for the farmers, but we understand that the context is like this, we do not know when the war will end, we do not know what will happen to the ports, whether there will be sea transportation, whether there will be any at all, what will happen to by rail, there, will poland pass the grain, which you see in this context, the mechanisms for supporting and feeding the agrarian sector, well , based on the circumstances, we understand that the main funds go today and are provided for by the state budget for defense, that is... for the military , this is clear, and the agrarians

themselves support the military a lot, but in the context of financial support , the preferential credit system 579 worked well in previous seasons and should be expanded, taking into account the losses that continue to increase, but in order to carry out operational work, these funds are needed, and we had a press conference there last week, where we farmers noted that it was worth expanding 579 in the limiting system, that is, it is limited today: 90 million for legal entities , at least at the level of 150 million, to do it, and so that the interest rate does not rise for it, because many people gambled, when it exceeded this rate by 90 million uah, then the credit rate increased by more than 13%, and you do not understand then, that then the economy, but if we now achieve such compromise, it will greatly strengthen the producers in the context of attracting opportunities, we are not talking about this company now in the fall, but it will help with the spring sowing comp. this is one of the most important factors that we hope for today, there are

several other options that can also to use a financial instrument, for example, in the verkhovna rada, in the specialized agrarian committee, and there is draft law 9352, it is about agrarian receipts, it is also a tool for financing commodity producers, what is its logic, that you as the owner of the land, or you as the person who leases this land can deposit it as a pledge and for this receive, accordingly , the funds that were needed for your work, and in fact we have very high hopes for this, and of course the factor number is the most important thing - these are export corridors, corridors, because if exports work, to be honest, if there is a market price, then no one there will hope for some kind of support conditions, but unfortunately, the export potential, although it is partially increasing, after the grain initiative, because it was suspended, now he a little also opens up to new potential, but again, it is not the volumes that give

today's price, but the cost of logistics. they are very expensive, today in some places the cost of logistics takes 50% of the price of the products you have grown, but if thanks to the armed forces of ukraine this logistical humanitarian direction will be developed across the great odesa, as practice shows today, it is really one that can give potential in the coming months, maybe even 2-2.5 million tons by unloading by sea export, and this would greatly help the traders, that is why the hopes he expresses are real. ukraine as a state in the context of communication with our allies, in the context of providing us with weapons in order to guarantee the security of the port infrastructure, as on the danube and the port of great odesa, this is a very important direction, and if this signal is made in the context of a specific transfer, then, accordingly, the number of ships that will enter, it will be substantial, and therefore more exported grain, demining of the black seafarer, this is very, this is also very important, and in principle it is not used to do as the ukrainian armed forces of ukraine.

diving groups, and this, you know, is the signal that our military made, repelling russia , actually from the management of the black sea, today, it gives such a signal and spreads its wings for countries that also have access to the black sea, because we now see, and let's say, in their own corridors, bulgaria and romania along their coasts are also beginning to control those ships that leave ukraine, and they are also starting mine clearance if mines are coming from the territory of russia, because they are scattered in the crimea, and then spread across the black sea, they also today launch these brigades that will deal with demining, and this is, in principle, an indicator of such a healthy normal communication of those... countries, who are interested in export, import and general trade in the black sea taking place. but at the same time, russia continues to bombard the odesa region, in particular, destroying the grain infrastructure, elevators are burning, as now in general

how do the farmers in the south feel, and what do they need, should we talk about any war risk insurance for those who work in such an area, well, it is very difficult to insure during wartime and get... insurance, because it will fall to a greater extent under force majeure circumstances, and insurers understand that when there is shelling every day, then surely no one will contribute their funds, understanding that, for sure, the probability is yes, but the state mechanism in this context could help for the de-occupied territories of ukraine, in particular for kherson oblast, part of mykolaiv oblast, kharkiv oblast, because the agrarians there are in extremely difficult conditions, and not only their enterprises were really destroyed, but also theirs. the fields are mined, and the infrastructure is also destroyed in which grain could be stored, so today it would be worthwhile to think of a mechanism for them, and in principle, it is being said today that 80% of state guarantees for lending and a minimum markup for lending there for the first three years no more than 1%, and this is in principle

a healthy approach to help to these merchants, and i think that this will be taken into account in the state budget, this is a very correct mechanism, especially since the funds that will be allocated today in the context of lending financing are not ukrainian own funds, they are funds from the world bank and there the communication we conduct with these financial institutions, they see this as a perspective, understanding that one way or another, this is the potential of the future export development of ukraine, if we clear mines and give life to our commodity workers in the de-occupied territories, you have already mentioned that on in the spring, farmers change their plans regarding which crops to grow, focusing there on ripa. obviously, there are simpler ones, simpler logistics, and in the current conditions it is more comfortable to work with them, in general, what are your expectations from spring sowing, i know that farmers are already actively thinking about it in the fall, look, now is really the main point of the approach to the upcoming campaign, will consist in the extent to which they will be able to purchase

seed material, fuel and lubricants, plant protection products, all that in principle, what could you go to work with? well, and details for agricultural vehicles, but now to predict how many fields will be involved, what additional difficulties the producers may face, i think we will analyze this more at the end of january, and the month of february, because it is already there in the middle of february , if there will be friendly weather conditions, the south of ukraine, the bessarabians , they are already starting to go out into the fields a little, if we move from such an agrarian economy to the grocery basket and to the wallet, the gender of ukrainians, then the prices of vegetables, what to expect, will there be any extreme prices for onions again in our country, as was the case a few seasons ago , and well, traditionally, even here it does not even depend on the war, but ukraine is this off-season in , let's say, the end of autumn, the winter period, we always have increased prices for

vegetables, this borscht traditional ukrainian set and fruits, because we are not the country that produces them in this period of time, but those that are greenhouse, the price for them has always been extremely high, and in this partial period of time we become dependent on imports , respectively , imported products are in themselves, they are becomes more expensive, plus we have to understand that there are costly parts to obtaining ukrainian products, although this season we had quite, quite good indicators for vegetables, but one issue is to grow, another issue is to preserve, unfortunately, we have a large number of storage systems, or in the zaporizhia region , which is still temporarily occupied, or the left part of the kherson region , accordingly , there will be no such capacity for such a volume of vegetable storage, therefore... in order to preserve and supply a quality product to the market, it is necessary to spend on electricity or other heating systems, and partly there will be an increase in prices, i do not predict that it will be as much as 50-60%, but at the end of the autumn-winter time period it can raise prices by about 10-15% and you need to be prepared for this, of course, thank you very much for joining us today, it was the deputy

chairman of the all-ukrainian agrarian council denis marchuk, now a short pause and we continue. chevorons approaching victory, the enemies thought that independence was just a word for us, but from the very first steps on our land, they convinced that we have been defending our independence for centuries and are ready to fight for it again. the defense forces of ukraine are stubbornly, relentlessly, step by step, wresting, gnawing out, squeezing

out of the enemy's claws, our land, our will, our independence. thank you for every moment and for this day. we prove independence every day. we will discuss the situation at the front with the leader. oleksandr usiyeenko of the center for military legal research. mr. oleksandr, i am glad to welcome you. i congratulate you. judging from the reports of the general staff, from what the greeks say directions, the russians are again trying to go on such a total offensive on the eastern front, and kupyansk and avdiyivka, although it is formally in the tavri direction, but we understand what we consider to be the east. from your point of view, this is a new stage of the war, when the russians attack again, we defend again. moreover, it was completely predicted, i want to tell you, because this same situation is not new and it , well, let’s say it was read, i also talked about it in this

studio, in particular, why it happened, well, it’s very simple, the fact is that the enemy approached of the autumn and winter campaign from the point of view of some kind of planning, well, you have to understand, the war is still going on, but they have to conduct some kind of combat operations, that is, they can’t sit down and say, we are all laying down our arms, or sit exclusively everywhere in blind defense, no matter what "... is there nothing to change there, and this is how the illusion is created that there are major offensive actions , the russian army has not lost its potential, it is still strong, they can still encircle us, as they dream of it, that is, somewhere they can, and therefore, well, plus, the east must be understood, first of all, from the point of view of conducting hostilities and weather conditions, there are more areas in the east that are suitable for hostilities, especially the way you conduct them. troops with constant infantry assaults, in autumn and winter, there are fewer such areas in the south, this is one thing, and secondly, where

will they go in the south, if they do not go to their own mines, in fact, we are advancing there as well, and a plus a logistical shoulder from russia, you understand, logistics, russian regions nearby, unfortunately, border areas, plus the fact that during the years of occupation of these territories, they created a certain military infrastructure that makes it possible to better develop offensive actions, so let's go... there, by the way, please note that by and large, russian troops are acting as they began to act last year, they have now chosen two flanks, that is, then which there was a plan last year, in addition to bakhmut, there was also a plan further north, this is liman, there were also attacks, in the south there was an ugledar, well, that ’s where they went, now the situation is somewhat different, although even under the ugledar they tried everything without success, now kupinsk, the far north point in the east, and the southernmost point is well, there is something in the berdyansk direction, where our forces were advancing, the enemy also became more active, they are taking offensive actions, and so they went into these

offensives. the goal is clear, to divert our attention completely, from the south, to carry out some kind of flank attack, which, according to the russian command, should be crowned with success , according to what they would like to achieve, they would like, i think, to weaken our positions, to win back some positions , the information propaganda effect is maximal about the fact that the russian troops are leaving, the ukrainian army has exhausted its potential, that's all, there is no offensive anymore, and thus it's just a matter of delaying time, in the east it's easier for them to do it, because in the south they are wary, all the more so, note that apparently this competition for the initiative has gone, and our the command also made a number of decisions, i think that this movement that was on the left bank, we observed there and everything that is happening, it can be, let's say, a little more, under conditions of success, it can develop into something that will cause weakening along the entire front line

because it is a flank attack, it is a strike, from the flank to the rear of the enemy, and they, i will tell you, did not expect this, apparently, because the moment was chosen correctly, you know, when the western media already started writing or not writing at all, because now they write more about the war in israel, when you thought that the weather conditions were already , well, as john kirby said, it seems to stay like that for six weeks and that's all, and now it would seem that nothing like this could happen, but here it can happen, and it can happen like this, that there may be a breakthrough here and in the south, it may happen, unfortunately it may will not happen, this will be shown by combat operations, but there are chances that it will happen, and then it is already a task for the enemy, it disrupts the plans of the enemy, well, plus, obviously, the way our forces defend themselves in the east indicates that this movement from russian troops. they waited, prepared for it and prepared a defense. yes, indeed, the enemy has minor tactical successes, if

we take the kupina direction, the chidiiv direction, indeed, but they did not have a strategic effect on the situation, plus, i will tell you that even our units in the east on the same kupina direction sometimes cross in counterattacks, they counterattack very successfully and stop the enemy, well, the kupyansk, kupyansk-limansk direction is still a terrain there and it is now drizzly, they have slowed down a bit, but not again, they are keeping units there, they will try further, the russians are throwing mad forces now on avdiivka, there are dozens of destroyed vehicles every day, a bunch of videos with the corpses of russian soldiers, soldiers... ours, who defend avdiivka, also say that it is simply littered with russian bodies, all around, why are they clinging to avdiivka so much? well, because, come on, first of all, there are different opinions, there are assessments that they would like to create a boiler for us there, and then demand some concessions from the authorities, make political compromises and so on, i will tell you, everything is a bit more prosaic and simpler,

in fact, first, the initial positions of the russian troops. they were already there in this way, which gave them the opportunity to try to surround, well, they decided, i will give you an example, for the first time this year, one of the first such reports of a significant and large offensive of russian troops, not as large-scale as our units are experiencing now vaudians, but anyway, i was back in march of this year, then general ternavskyi said that the enemy was conducting offensive actions, the purpose of the encirclement of avdiivka, yes, i remember it, and we talked then with avdiivka, with the head of the city administration, he said the same thing , which in bakhmut is absolutely happening, and then it subsided a little, then it subsided, then there was an exacerbation again in august, and now it happened again, that is, but when they advanced, they left behind certain positions, and obviously these the flanks were left behind, evidently it was easier for them, as they thought to advance, this is one time, and secondly, it was necessary to choose some settlement near the front where they can do it, well, that is, what

is the threat of the kodla, you see, there is no such thing now, not even near... kupinsky, well, they began to advance near kupinsky in june, well, then they subsided, then again and in the end they did not reach, and here a plus was chosen, so that from the south as much as possible the units that were pulled from there from berdyansk in the direction of melitopol, they understood that the responsibility of one grouping of troops, operationally-strategically, and pull away, try to arrange something like bini here and there out of the chaos of everyone, which will delay, delay, delay, force us to review our plans, abandon them, get involved in battles, plus the threat of the group's entourage , imagine the informational and propaganda effect of all this in russia, for the domestic consumer, everything, well, and with the prospect of our demoralization, well, if they succeeded, you understand that it would be constantly used, so in fact it was avdiivka was chosen directly, well, this is for them, and they report

it in such a way that they say that now we will push back the ukrainian group of troops, we will take it, so they will stop actions in donetsk, it is eternal, they have it eternal, why do you are shelling donetsk, well, they always, always have this mantra, and here they saved, you know, they could not save in the time since 2014, since the ukrainian troops were there, and now they are a great savior, saviors, that’s all, that’s it, actually speaking, and calculating, that's why you're a bitch like you what do you think is the strategic goal of russia now, it is clear that the destruction of ukraine, the occupation of ukraine, is their ultimate goal, next to it, seeing an independent, prosperous state is simply a nightmare for any regime that would be in russia. now they want a freeze on the front, they want such heavy battles for two landings, which will exhaust them, but also our forces, as well. well, yes, but you see that of course they will exhaust us too, but not like when we wash offensive actions

once, and the second time there are more of them, in the end, well, that's why that with the same equipment they suffer much greater losses, but... now the strategic idea is simply to prolong the war, this is the only strategic vision that russia has, in the hope that the situation in the world will change and the support of the west for ukraine will decrease, and then we will be inclined to compromises , that is, when shaygu at the collegium of the ministry of defense announced his intentions to fight at least until the end of 2024, at least, they are the ones making the plans, he was absolutely sincere in this situation. because these are at least those parameters, why? well, the elections in the united states in the states, elections in other european countries, which are taking place in one way or another, the situation is a plus, see the fomenting of crises, others that turn and change the focus of attention, the focus of attention of the west, for example, now the middle east, and the situation over the weekend took place between the chinese and philippine ships, in the south china sea, we are less
