this includes financial assistance, grants, medical assistance, vehicles, logistics reconstruction assistance, and more. in particular, the ambassador supported the projects of ukrainian public organizations, a memorandum on cooperation between ukraine and taiwan in the field of education and innovation was signed. these are two agreements that i patronize, one of them is a project that we have been engaged in for a long time, we provide computers, modern computers, modern equipment, stem equipment for ukrainian schools. the second project, no less important, we have been implementing it for a long time, is the shelter project, this is a project assistance to temporarily displaced persons, people who came from other regions, to lviv or to ivano-frankivsk or to chernivtsi, are able to engage with their children, their children are engaged in sports, are engaged in art, these people themselves study the ukrainian language, ukrainian history, we do not should leave ukrainians from the regions that are occupied or that are under fire aggressor without attention, we have to show that we are one nation, the first project is called we will not

leave alone, aimed at providing educational institutions in ukraine modern equipment. this is a very important cooperation with taiwan, and this support is important for us, and not only, purely in the context of this help that ukrainian communities, ukrainian schools receive, but in the fact that we feel that we are not alone in this struggle, and in we have the shoulder of partners next to us, and this matter of struggle for freedom, freedom of ukraine and also freedom of taiwan, because they are also threatened by a great aggressor, er, this will help us to endure in this struggle for democracy and freedom in the world. the second project has a name the shelter and the agreement, which was signed on november 14, provide opportunities for its expansion. now we are implementing a project in eight cities of ukraine, it is psychosocial assistance for internally displaced persons, for children and for their families, that is, our main goal is to distract people from the war, as well as:

to provide them with various kinds of skills, skills so that they can it is easier to integrate into society, into new communities and stay in ukraine. also today at the event , an agreement was signed between the association of cities of ukraine and the representative office of taiwan in poland. mary chernyakhivska, ihor antoniuk, for the espresso tv channel from warsaw. well, a good idea, we are waiting for a good implementation, now about what happened in the world, there will be more details . good evening to you, vasyl. good evening to everyone who has joined us today. in particular, among the many news that i plan to tell, i will tell you about the following, the defense ministers of the european union member states spoke today about helping ukraine, they spoke in brussels, in the 12th package of anti-russian sanctions, unfortunately there will be no restrictions on russian nuclear weapons, and democracy in the american way. about this and other things in a moment in the rubric world about ukraine.

well, let me start with this: the russian war in ukraine and the conflict in the middle east, these are two critical global topics that the president of the united states of america, joe biden, and the leader of the people's republic of china, xi jinping, plan to discuss tomorrow, during their personal meeting in the city of san francisco , state of california. about this. during a briefing in the white house, said the adviser to the us president on national security issues, jake sullivan. in particular, he says, we need to find an understanding of how to end this war, and at the same time, mr. sullivan admitted that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the white house administration to provide assistance to ukraine. the reason, he says, is the reluctance of members of the house of representatives of the us congress to approve the administration's request to support ukraine.

you know, i just want to say one key point and i won't interfere anymore, in the summer of 202, before the start of the war, in my opinion, it was this summer, biden and putin met to actually solve the world's global issues in to geneva, then, let me remind you, here putin started the war, although he was warned, and now the world issues will be solved by biden and xi jinping, and putin, as they say, is on the upswing, well, we will see how big this upswing is, i don't know what will happen tomorrow will take place, i very much hope that if it is not a historic meeting, then at least a meeting on which a lot of things in the world will depend, in particular, some kind of solution, the war, the russian aggressive war in ukraine, may be found, although until the end i don't believe it, but i still have to hope, but i want to tell you that considering the time difference from san francisco, which is 10 hours from ukraine, we lag behind them, even if biden and xi jinping meet. for example

, at 9 in the morning, i apologize, in california, then in kyiv it will be at 9:00 in the evening, although i do not think that they will meet at 9 in the morning. later, so you can see the results already on the evening broadcast of espresso, and if not, then on thursday i will definitely talk about the main thing. yesterday , the ministers of foreign affairs of the member states of the european union spoke about aid to ukraine in brussels union, today, the initiative was seized by the ministers of defense. one of the main topics, of course, was the discussion of a larger increase in the common military aid fund. for 20 million euros. in addition, they talked about a promise to give the armed forces of ukraine 1 million artillery shells by march next year, however, it seems that this plan will not happen, it may not be fulfilled in time. according to one of the high-ranking officials from the european union , not even a third of this plan has been achieved yet. another

topic is a training mission for the ukrainians military, within the framework of which 40,000 servicemen should be trained, which is 10,000 more than planned. earlier, and by the way, the minister of defense of germany, boris pistorius, also spoke about 1 million shells for the ukrainian army, and this is what he said in particular, let's listen to him directly, the most important question is whether 1 million shells - this is a real goal, some people think that we have to be careful with this, because 1 million is... not that much and there is money, but the military industry has to work, unfortunately, they are right, we have done a lot thanks to our framework agreements and will continue to do so, but we are also in dialogue with industrialists and ask them to increase and speed up the production of their products. that is, they see the problem in germany

and they see that how to solve it, to speed up production. another solution was proposed by the head of european... diplomacy, josep borel, who was also present, eventually presided over this meeting, let's listen to him directly. keep in mind that the european defense industry exports a lot, about 40% products are exported to third countries, so the problem is not that there is not enough production capacity, it’s just that manufacturers send their products to other markets, so maybe we should try to reorient this production to the priority market, that is, the ukrainian one, an excellent solution to the situation , the ukrainian market should now be a priority and reorient all production to it, well , i want to applaud mr. borel, now the main thing is not to put sticks in the wheels

of the ministers of some countries who like to put sticks in wheels. we cannot allow putin to win, and ukraine must continue to exist as a sovereign and non-european state. nato secretary general jens stoltenberg said this today in brussels. that is why the head of the north atlantic alliance says. eu member states should not only continue to support ukraine, but also significantly increase this support. according to him , the situation on the battlefields is now very difficult, which is why the help of the west is so important. but answering the journalist's question, should ukrainians go to negotiations with russia. due to the fact that among western allies you can sometimes hear such calls for negotiations, mr. stolteng replied, let's listen to him in the first direct speech today, so far we do not see

a real will on the part of president putin to negotiate a solution acceptable to ukraine, therefore the only the way to achieve this is to convince president putin that they will not win on the battlefield, and the only way to achieve this is to strengthen the military potential of ukraine, to support it. so if you want to achieve solution through negotiations, then the way to this is to continue to support ukraine. well, that 's right, mr. stoltenberg explained his position, he explained that it is necessary to put pressure on putin, to help ukraine, to receive. victories on the battlefields, but if we have the opportunity, i would like us to listen to mr. stolteng's first direct speech as well. only ukraine should decide what conditions are acceptable for negotiations, and even more, what

conditions are acceptable for concluding any agreement. the responsibility of the member states is to support ukraine in its struggle, as it is in our interests to show that we... stand guard over the rule of law and that we help ukraine fight back the aggressor in this war. that is, if we take these two direct words of mr. stoltenberg and put them together, then we understand that first of all he is saying that only ukraine should determine whether to negotiate with the aggressor country, and if so, when, of course, on terms acceptable to himself, in the second direct speech that we first heard, he still says that nato will continue to help ukraine on the battlefield, because it is important, it is important for putin to be defeated, and for these negotiations to take place after the complete defeat of putin, and this is very, very right, and this is if putin is not in the freezer, as he says, well, there are many questions

about whether he is in the freezer or not, although, vasyl, i tell you honestly, if you look at the various poutines that you could see over the course of, well, several a month, two and a half, two, well, three months, then even i, i don't know, maybe i'm making something up, but it seems to me that someone has a bigger forehead, higher, someone here, the tsarni’s profession is real, well, in any case, russia has to sign it, whoever was then her formal or legitimate student, well, yes, but we thank soltenberg for the support we heard from him, well, here austria is a neutral country, so it should not supply ukraine with lethal weapons and ammunition , said this country's defense minister, claudia tanner, today before a meeting with colleagues in brussels, she also emphasized that austria. the government is also not considering options for the transfer of ammunition to those countries to the members of the european union, who sent their supplies

to kyiv, but at the same time, the minister emphasized, here is her short quote: we help ukraine in other ways, primarily humanitarian and financial, and we also accept refugees. well, it was one such statement, and the second one was unpleasant, very unpleasant, but surprised. and this is the statement of the minister of defense of slovakia, robert kalyniak, who said that he had already informed nato secretary general ens stoltenberg that his country would stop providing military aid to ukraine and would focus on only exclusively, as well as austria, as well as hungary on the provision of humanitarian or financial support, and this is very bad. and now i mentioned hungary, let's move on to it, i would like to emphasize that hungary will never agree to any restrictions on the nuclear industry

, said hungarian foreign minister peter sijarto. according to him, there are now serious discussions about nuclear energy in europe, and the european union is divided into two parts in this regard: there the pro-nuclear coalition, says mr. szijjártó, which is led by france and which includes hungary and the anti-nuclear coalition, and at the same time the hungarian minister added, quote: we have made it clear that it cannot even be that nuclear energy, in some way, turns out to be limited, and those previous proposals for the 12th package of anti-russian sanctions, which we know at the moment, do not contain restrictions against the nuclear industry, and then , god forbid, it turns out that there are no russian sanctions against diamonds either, well then what will be in the 12th package, but we will wait and we'll see, and by the way more about hungary, about the reason

for the hungarian government's refusal to start negotiations with ukraine on joining the european union, the hungarian minister for eu affairs, jános boka, said today, let's listen to his motivation. when negotiations begin with a state that is at war with a neighboring nuclear state, we must ask ourselves what the purpose of the enlargement of the european union is, whether the purpose of the enlargement is to increase the peace zone or to import a military conflict into the european union, and we must take a clear position on what effect this will have the european union, its policies, as well as eu citizens. how they are afraid of war in hungary and at the same time do not want to end this war now by giving us weapons, or by not blocking... some initiatives that come from the european union, i don't understand this, the growth of military cooperation between russia

and north korea the us leadership is very worried, said the secretary of defense, united states of america, lloyd austin today during the open part of the meeting with the defense ministers of the un command in seoul, which monitors the implementation of the terms of the ceasefire, that ended the korean war. according to the minister, cooperation between russia and north korea undermines the rules-based international order and threatens the security not only of south korea, but also of the entire region. after all, all of russia threatens the security of the entire world. and finally, democracy in the american way. at first you were accused of taking over the capitol, and then you decided to become, to start working in the same capitol, the famous shaman kanon, whose photos were spread all over the world on january 6, 21 after the storming of the capitol, supporters then

presidential candidate donald trump, announced that he may run for the lower house of the us congress from the state of arizona as a libertarian. most interestingly, jacob chanceley, who is remembered for his bear hat with horns and face in the colors of the american flag, has only recently been released from prison after spending 41 months there for his part in this assault. he admitted his guilt, no longer calls himself a shaman, and here the main thing is to wonder whether he also continues to support trump, as he did then, or also. renounced him well, i'm just wondering if he's going to pass because there's a seat opening up in arizona after , uh, the person who, the woman who held that seat from the state of arizona said she's not going to run for re-election, and he really wants to sit down in this chair, let's see if he will sit down, well, but taking into account all the trends in the united

states of america, something seems to me that he can sit down in this chair. well, for today , i have everything in the world section about ukraine. only for today, tomorrow there will be more, there will be more in our further broadcast, in particular for for a few minutes, my friend oleksandr morchevka, as always, tell in detail about the most important things in the world of money, so don't switch, there are discounts on pectol one ivy, cough syrup 10%. in pharmacies, plantain, you and savings. there is a war going on, and not only for territories, it is also a war for minds. we are engaged in propaganda. russia is throwing millions of petrodollars into turning ukrainians into little russians. ukraine will become russia. let's counter the information

create the future right now. the main and interesting thing is that in the program verdict from monday to friday at 8:00 p.m. good evening, we are from ukraine, we are returning to our airwaves and i invite oleksandr morchevka to the conversation, money during war oleksandr, please, i congratulate the audience, i congratulate vasyl, so in the next few minutes we will find out what is happening on the border with poland, whether the polish carriers will lift the blockade, and you will also find out about the next international support, how much money. they give me something, wait, everything will be in detail in a moment, i'm oleksandr morshchevka, congratulations, this is a column about money during the war, i'll start with an important figure: an additional 110 million euros is allocated by the european commission for humanitarian support of ukrainians who suffered from the great war.

one hundred million from this package will be directed to aid to internally displaced persons, the rest will be allocated to our refugees and communities in moldova. ukrainians will be able to receive monetary aid, food and water, and these funds will also finance a shelter for displaced persons, medical and, importantly, psychological care. support we follow a hot topic. ukraine held negotiations with poland to lift the blockade on the border. protesters there should turn to their government to solve their problems, our ministry of infrastructure emphasizes. well, now in the government too on their part, they are trying to find some compromises in order to increase the throughput capacity, to fulfill some memoranda that were in place before, what is happening now at the border, in particular in the economic aspect, how much the ukrainian economy is losing, what with the corridors, in particular the grain corridors, we talked

recently, with an expert from the agrarian council, how much ukrainian business can lose now due to the action of polish protesters, we will ask oleksandr bondarenko, managing partner of the bureau of investment programs, good evening, evening, i greet you. mr. oleksandr, we have been seeing this action for a long time, it was announced for more than one week, and the dialogue has only now begun, but it has not led to anything, the ukrainian government is sending the participants of the protest to the polish cabinet. in your opinion, how much can be calculated for the losses of the ukrainian economy from idle trucks at the borders, at the checkpoints between our country and poland, well, first of all, i must say that the queues are huge, about 30-40 km, well, depending on the crossing point, on berries yes

for sure, it is also about 20-30 km to raver rusky, a little less to kraków, it is, well, at the moment it is about 5-7 trucks, it is difficult to calculate, because the queue is constantly being added, and cargoes that cannot enter ukraine. and accordingly, exports that cannot enter the european union are , well, hundreds of millions of euros, that is, again, it is difficult to calculate, but there are approximately 300-400 million euros of cargo that cannot cross the border in both directions , for example, foz group is a well-known and popular player on the ukrainian market, this is the second largest chain of grocery stores, it cannot drive with cars, they gave me information, there are more than a thousand cars, er, containers only in this group of food products, imagine

the volumes, well, because it is one of the largest importers of products there nutrition of ukraine, i.e., well, we in the bureau of investment programs have roughly calculated that our uh, ukrainian enterprises together lose somewhere around 10, 15 million euros in losses per day. daily, that is , every day of the strike is worth up to 15 million euros to our ukrainian business owners, this colossal numbers, and that we see that there is a risk of the end of the strike, with those, according to the dates they announced these polish strikers, january 4, 24th, because in fact , now there is such a stalemate in the negotiations, because really our ministry of infrastructure says that it is contacting the polish government regarding your intra-polish business problems, because

it is impossible to change, or cancel, without, well, regulation, the access of ukrainian carriers to the european market, because all the signed international agreements, and our ukrainian logisticians can and should safely work on the market of the european union, so these, well, i would say more, the political demands of the polish authorities are really not adequate, regarding the queues, regarding the system, there is a queue, regarding separate roads for and for empty and , well, empty trucks, this is how it should be done, because there is really a lack of logistics infrastructure, on the ukrainian side , for sure, we need more, first of all, border crossing points with poland and with other european countries, because now we have about 15 active border crossing points there of the eu, which produce trucks of various volumes, but not in relation to preventing ukrainian logisticians from entering the european union market, this is

absolutely the case. sinitnytsia, that is, these are political slogans on which no compromises can be made, and purely infrastructural issues must be closed and the logistical capabilities of its ukrainian points must be expanded before, quite an interesting situation, mr. oleksandr, arises, ukraine cannot help polish carriers, because operates within the limits and norms that are signed with the international, according to international law, that is, we we follow the letter of the law in ukraine, but from the polish side, the polish government does not pay attention, attention is drawn to these actions and violates international law, why do polish government officials allow such actions to be carried out from their side, vasyl, i have a question, really, how much political the component plays a role, well, it's like the situation with grain, well, absolutely, well, now we'll hear your opinion, i just think that if the government, well, wanted

to change this situation now, well, i think that it will be... certain measures will be taken, so what is it actually, brothers ukrainian authorities are being held hostage, therefore also the polish authorities, if the polish authorities are not here on business, please, what is your opinion, i think that this is a completely similar situation to the ban on transit, do you remember that in april of this year there was a situation when the polish authorities the party even banned the transit of ukrainian grains, it just doesn’t fit anywhere, well, the truth is there, in two weeks ... they literally solved this situation and allowed to the port of gdansk, with certain documents, to bring ukrainian grain in transit for export to different countries of the country of the world, but even transit was nonsense, even with regard to the ban on imports, it contradicts the norms of the world trade organization and all the signed intergovernmental and european agreements on economic cooperation, so there are really already

two incidents this year: international incidents, from the side of polish business there associations, essentially lobbyists, polish business, violation of international economic agreements, and of course, here we were hindered by the parliamentary elections in poland, but now the elections are over, we see that the government has not yet been formed, and i think this is also the reason why such political strikes are taking place on the part of polish carriers is when the government will be in place at the beginning of december, we calculated that in the first week of december the prime minister and the coalition government should already be elected in the diet, then it will be easier to negotiate and put pressure on polish associations, now there is no one to negotiate with in the ukrainian government , thank you, thank you for joining the conversation , oleksandr bondarenko, managing partner of the bureau of investment programs, we can only keep our finger on the pulse, monitor the situation,

according to the dialogue , which they will continue between the ukrainian and polish sides, and whether the action will really be able to end earlier, and the ukrainian economy, in particular, ukrainian retailers, ukrainian business, will not suffer such crazy losses as they already have now, and i continue the column about money, during the war, let's go further, since the start of the grant program, it's our own business , 100 winners have already become, 161 veterans and family members of combatants have become, so they receive money in the total amount of 64 million hryvnias, their finances will be directed to start or development businesses, in particular, with non-refundable grant funds, they plan to open, for example, a coffee shop, a dental clinic , a manicure studio, a children's development center, a building materials store, that is, the scope of businesses is quite large, for each veteran winner of the program from 250 to 500,000 uah is issued , everything depends on the number of jobs that will be created by the new business.

nationalization continues, zakarpattia gas has come under state control. the company will work as part of naftogaz - our ministry of energy reported that this is the 19th gas distribution company the enterprise, which was transferred to state management in less than a year. the return of such infrastructure is part of the implementation of the reform on the de-oligarchization of ukraine, which the president started for the clients. almost nothing will change for zakarpattia-gas, everything will be as it was, the main thing here is that now this property will be managed by ukrainian naftogaz. well, in november, in november, turkey bought a record amount of russian eurols oil, received almost 15 million tons, the leading oil refinery there concluded an agreement with russian lukoil for long-term supplies

black gold muscovites also continue to supply bloody barrels to
