[000:00:00;00] not to add it to temporary budget resolutions, which for three months can be generally short-term, namely to talk about a package for a year, if you look at the public speeches and press secretaries of all departments, then there is not a week when there is no or sometimes even every speech always includes a briefing on ukraine in the part of the speech, also during this time, starting with the hamas attack on israel , the rammstein group, as immediately after the attack, secretary austin, despite the fact that really, well, the issue of the attack and israel is very important issue for the united states, and ramstein's face-to-face meeting was held without any delay, and secretary austin, along with the new head of the united states, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, c. q. brown,

flew to europe, and the work that we have is ongoing, two days ago there was a ministerial-level meeting chaired by blinken, kuleba, the japanese state secretary and all the g7 ministers that regarding energy cooperation, that is, at the level of our work with the government, with the white house, with departments, with congress, i can absolutely it is responsible to say that there is not. our teams are not busy with anything else, they are working on ukraine, the work continues, and it continues both on the supply of what we can still receive, and on the budget process, where we really see the impact, it is in mass media, yes, on the front pages of newspapers and the picture on tv, starting with the brutal attack really changed, at the same time, ukraine did not disappear from

the screens completely, and we are doing everything, and ours who come, this is every delegation, everyone, every one of my performance, every community event, every the service dedicated to the holodomor, this includes the opportunity to request mass-medi funds and return, keeping ukraine in focus, it is difficult, i think it is also, well, in fact , what succeeded during these two years, a lot even, americans and many representatives of mass media themselves say: that this is so incredible, because people very often get tired, move on to the next thing, something is constantly happening in the world, but i think that we are gradually managing to convince everyone, and it is easy, so that it is true that the war in ukraine is not only about ukraine, that the war in ukraine is about all of us, it is about the entire civilized world. the russian project of the power of siberia-2 gas pipeline, which is necessary to replace gazprom's lost european market, is progressing

extremely slowly. because china does not want to invest in a new pipe, but offers russia to fully pay the long bill for the construction, and demands discounts on russian gas, at the same time, china also writes about this, chiyna, morning post, we include vita holud, the head of the board of the ukrainian association of chinese scholars, mrs. vitto, good evening, glory to ukraine, good evening, glory to the heroes, in your opinion, what does such behavior mean... to china, is it about the fact that china, well , in a certain way, is trying to turn russia, well, into its puppet, in some sense? well , first of all, what the hong kong newspaper the south china morning post published, it's just drawing yet another attention to this power of siberia-2 project. in general , it should be understood that the memorandum was signed back in

the 14th year. and since then, the contract has not been signed, that is, negotiations are underway, china drags on, and so far nothing is happening, for what reasons, firstly, china does not want to be dependent on russian gas, it is diversifying, and we see that gas supplies are coming from qatar, and from turkmenistan, and from kazakhstan, from australia, that is, china is diversifying, what is energy supply, it is about the issue of... national security, secondly, china does not want to invest in such a large project, it is necessary to understand that it is 14 billion dollars, it is estimated, and this gas pipeline, it there is a western one, planned to be 6, 6.7 thousand km long, this is a long enough distance, and only a third fell to russia, mongolia and the chinese part of

the shinji... autonomous region were also to be involved here, and it is also important that the other gas pipeline, i.e. the sibir-1 force, is completely satisfactory in terms of supply volumes, i.e. it is economical at the moment impractical and china, indeed, it only advances, taking into account its national interests, that is, these main reasons, but russia really needs to compensate for the european market, so china is the only opportunity, so how can china take advantage of this, not that it is an opportunity, but this fact that russia there is no point, exit now to the western market, to the european market, how can china manipulate this story in order to, well , it is clear for itself to get some more favorable positions to occupy, well, it is the price, it is clear that china receives gas for a very

at low prices, compared there with turkey, with other clients of gazprom, china pays not half as much, and in the future even cheap gas in large volumes, exclusively from russia, separately, china... is needed, that is, china continues to diversify, protecting its national interests, in what other moments can china still, let's say this, you know, i just want to avoid any assessments from my side, well , let's say this, in what other moments can china indicate to russia that we are not equal, and i defend my interests, well, if, for example, he will increase rates from other sources, or even more interestingly, china is developing a green economy and we know the same one belt one road project, it is now being reformatted and it has been announced that the new format of this initiative

will be aimed at small investment and, let's say such green projects, yes we know, it concerns africa, yes green is green, it 's called the green initiative now. the green project of one belt, one road, so i think that an investment in such , say, gazoyin, the western branch parallel to the eastern branch, well, it is impractical, and china sees that it may not be, let's say, a modern project, that is, we must look to the future , but i have a clarification, you know that i may have expressed incorrectly, not quite correctly, how far china now considers russia to be equal. a partner, or is he? looks from top to bottom, eye to eye, or top to bottom, if possible briefly? well, today we see this economic rapprochement, and indeed, china is manipulating the situation, it is obvious,

again, pursuing its national interests, from the point of view of china, in the future, this kind of economic partnership is beneficial, so if there is a situation, the conjuncture changes to tomorrow, then i think china can come back. back, ugh, thank you for this analysis, vita holod, head of the board of the ukrainian association of china studies , we talked about russian-chinese relations. well, in the temporarily occupied mariupol, the level of radiation norm was exceeded 15 times. the occupiers are trying to calm the population, but in fact, they are covering up their next war crime, this was a quote about and written in a telegram by the adviser to the mayor of mariupol, petro andryushchenko. so. we include mykola osychenka in our conversation, mr. mykola, good evening, glory to ukraine, oh, good evening, glory to the defenders of mariupol, tell me, please, what is known about this, about

this radiation, i read that it is connected with sands , but explain to the audience what in general happened and maybe you have information, and what do the occupiers do with it, except to calm down and say, well, look what happened, there was a storm, and there was also a very big storm, and everything was washed away from the embankment, and including from the beaches, the top layer of the sand that was there was washed away, but under it was black thorium sand, which is very radioactive, precisely... it emits such a high level of radio radiation, that is, for civilians, in fact there is nothing like that, tfu-tfu-tfu, they are there without that,

it is enough that they are dangerous, but i would really advise the occupiers to go to the beach, take a walk, lie down, something else, like that , you know, when i also... asked a little about these sands to be on topic, i found information from the mariupol city council and she explained that they used to do the same, greenbud would come and simply, if the increased level of radiation fell asleep. on top of ordinary sand, relatively speaking, reducing this story in this way, the occupiers are doing it at all now, aren't they to the people? amazing, i understand that they are not doing it now, because the storm has not yet come, yes, and as far as i i understand there will be another storm tomorrow, but i think they will do it, why? because i will remind you that

they pass through mariupol. all the most important logistical routes, that is, this is the sea, this is a small land corridor, this is the one, so they will try to make even the russian correspondents, who , by the way, posted this video, not to post this anymore, so i think they will fall asleep , but at the moment not yet, but continuing the story about the occupiers going for a walk, let the correspondents go, they take pictures, shoot more, why not, people are doing a good job, it was a joke, about the bad weather, we mentioned the storm, how did mariupol survive, weathered the bad weather and what were the consequences, well, i will tell you that mariupol, like the whole so-called the donetsk people's republic survived the bad weather very, very badly, because look

, a lot of settlements in the donetsk region, its occupied part, are without electricity, and we understand that since last spring they still have a very large shortage of people who could fix it, because even last spring they had a total violent mobilization, mobilization, and even the brigades that are working on this and that were mobilized, as for the bad weather in mariupol, you know, these things are very, very strange, the buildings that survived the bombardment, there is something else, yes, they stood as they were, and they are still there, and those buildings that the occupiers tried to repair , the roof was blown off them, there is something else from them, that is, it shows the level of work that is there,

you can see it, thank you for information, mykola, mykola osychenko, journalist about the situation in the interim in occupied mariupol, in particular, he explained to us what kind of radiation it is, it is thorium sand that was raised by a storm to the surface, but as we heard, the occupiers are not doing anything to do something about it and reduce this level of radiation in order to have time to deliver it to ukraine million artillery shells, by the end of this year, the european union must develop with all states, although there are exceptions, latvian president edgars rinkevičius said in an exclusive interview with the public, he says: it is not about russia's allies, let's hear more. mr. president, first thank you for everything, let's start with the night of shelling, how did you survive it, did you hear the battle between the ukrainian air defense system and russian

drones? security took me down to the basement and i only heard a very very distant noise but to be honest this is not my first experience of an air raid, one was here in may 2022 and in fact i was here when russia launched their attack in february 2022 -huh, so i have some experience, but i... understand that this was one of the largest drone attacks, if not the largest. can you, as the president of the country, a member of the eu and i would like to share my impressions regarding the change in support for ukraine in the world during these almost two years of full-scale war, because it seems to ukrainians from the inside that this support is now decreasing. let's remember how it all began. in

february, as well as in march of last year, there were not so many people who really believed that ukraine was going to fight and stand, and the help was not much at first, only gradually it began to increase. this is , of course, military as well as financial aid. yes, there is a debate now in the united states and in the european union. but i see that at the moment there is an understanding that aid must be continuous. so what's important is that, while we see that there is more discussion than, say, a year ago, about what kind of support the eu or the us should give to ukraine, we have to be persistent, we have to, say, both ukraine and latvia and others like-minded countries, we must continue to prove that it is very important that military aid, financial aid, political aid continue. also, can you tell me, given the resources of the eu and nato countries, how much more the world can support

ukraine? this is a very good question. i don't think so. would be a good answer to say before this year or next year, there is no such plan , i think there is an understanding that this war is going on longer than anyone expected a year ago, we already had this feeling at the beginning of full-scale russian aggression, ukraine will only fight for three days, maybe three weeks, but no longer than a month, and then there was a fairly high expectation that a counteroffensive would lead to the entire territory now occupied by the russian federation being liberated by this... this is war, this is real life, not a golovian movie, so i think we all understand that every kilometer that is now liberated by the ukrainian military costs a huge amount of resources, but it also costs a huge amount of lost lives, but i will not say how long it will last and

i believe no one can do it. we often hear that russia will definitely lose, but at the same time, it has been shelling ukrainian cities for almost two years now. how the international community assesses the situation on the field battle now and what should ukrainians prepare for? in a sense , russia has already lost because it failed to achieve any of its strategic goals. the danger now is that russia is now... russia is taking this lightly. the good story mobilizes its resources and we must not is that now many in europe understand that we must also mobilize our defense industry, that the production of 155 caliber ammunition must be achieved. yes, it takes time,

it takes time to work out a solution, but now i see that there is such an understanding. now it is a war of nerves, a war of narratives. said that at the moment, as well as in the spring, when there were rumors that this year would be a turning point, i had a little bit of convincing the public of some experts and journalists that we should not put too much hope on him, why? because the nato member countries could not provide ukraine with everything necessary that ukraine asked for. yes, there are certain positive trends, but unfortunately, the war will continue, i believe that we will find more resources to support ukraine. and regarding 155 caliber. you once said that if the eu cannot supply ukraine with a million artillery shells by the end of 2023, then these shells must be found somewhere else . is there an understanding of which

countries these could be? this is mainly the work of the european defense agency, the european commission. in general, everywhere. i believe that we should and we can talk to any country except maybe some that are ready to sell ammunition, we can send it to ukraine. i know that there are some so-called third countries that buy all that ammunition from european factories, if we can somehow delay, for example, their purchases because they do not have an active military situation, then surely that is what we should do. bild newspaper wrote that germany has a secret plan for ukraine from time to time, how to put zelensky and putin at the negotiating table, that the countries will provide ukraine with enough weapons to hold the front, but not enough to move forward, can such a plan really exist? nobody should force ukraine into a political discussion with russia, if we

we see that russia is not ready for this. russia is not looking for a political solution: russia is looking for war. so i really hadn't heard of such a plan before this article was published. i don't know how much truth there is, how much discussion is going on between different officials in this or that country. but i think there is one thing that is important, and it needs to be emphasized, that to think today that a political process is possible is an unrealistic way of responding to realism. why? because russia wants to continue this war. so. russia is interested in promoting this narrative. let's talk, let's find a political solution. just to buy time and to convince the part of the public that we talked about earlier, who think that maybe the support for ukraine should be changed, or more questions should be asked, and this part of the public finds ... in different countries, but you know, to be honest , i have not heard such rumors so far, at least when it comes to

political circles. the authorities of the russian federation are preparing aggression against moldova and the baltic countries, the head of the foreign intelligence service of ukraine said, whether the do you have such information? well, i would say that we have to look at things realistically. we are part of nato and the eu. i see and i am absolutely convinced that judging by what russian propaganda and some russian officials say, that it is the dream of the russian federation to restore the russian empire, not only when it comes to the baltic countries, moldova or kazakhstan. this is also finland. they do not talk about the soviet union, because they dream of the russian empire of the 19th century. i can see it at this point. we have time to strengthen our defense system the decision at the nato summits in madrid and vilnius to increase the number of nato troops. we don't take things lightly, but i will say that at this point we see that this

is really going to be a strategic goal for russia if they think they've won in ukraine. it is not necessary that they will win, but they will think that they have won, and then there will probably be a temptation to test nato's stability and strength. former nato secretary general anders rasmussen proposed ukraine's accession. to the military alliance, but without territories occupied by russia. i have already heard such proposals in diplomatic circles before, how do you feel about such an idea. let me say that in this case, it would be a one-man decision of ukraine how to join nato. regarding the accession, we support the idea of ​​ukraine's membership in the alliance since 2008, starting from bucharest. we believe that nato should make every effort to interact with ukraine, helping it even more. such an idea, as far as i know, was never discussed at the official political level of the allies, not when i was there minister of foreign affairs of my country,

i never became president. so, we talked about politics, about international activities, and now to the topic that i promised you, which i personally was very much looking forward to, it helps me a lot, overloaded, when you know, there is a lot of news, a lot of things, this one helps me to distract myself , i hope you too, we are including serhii glotovov, white member of the 28th ukrainian antarctic expedition of the kornatsik academy station, to our conversation, now i am afraid to look here, because i will simply not be able to speak, good to you, it must be day, morning and night, i don’t understand you now, polar day , spring has come for you there, but we are glad to see you, glory to ukraine, glory, good day and greetings from the antarctic, from the most remote corner

of ukraine, the ukrainian antarctic station , academician vernats, who is next to you in a tuxedo, and here we have penguins next to us, they are nesting, we, we are standing at the very entrance to academician vernatskyi, and in fact, next to us around the station, penguins are nesting and co-sleeping with us, it's a subantarctic gentoo penguin, you can see, and they are nesting, they have chosen, for many years, they have chosen a town like this around the station, on one side, the station, on the other side, and here they are, well, they are nesting and the wine is hatching their testicles, you see, you can see the nests in there are, now the process of laying eggs is just beginning, and soon there will be hatchlings, we are waiting. eh, we already have antarctic spring and soon it will be summer, so it's already polar penguin day and

everything, everything - it symbolizes that soon it will be summer, my god, it's so cute, i just really can't talk, penguins are my love, i have to confess, listen, but i have a question , but i remember, i 've been following penguins for a long time on your facebook page, and i remember the first chicks in previous years... appeared somewhere before st. nicholas, but according to the old style, and now the new style, actually 13 days earlier, will the first chicks have time to hatch, in general, when do you expect? we, we expect in a week and a half, maybe in a week and a half there may already be the first chicks on the island, because already the first, the first egg it was about 2.5-3 weeks ago, and in general, it takes 38 days for the eggs to hatch, and after 38 days, plus or minus , everything depends on the weather conditions, on their

number, on average, after 38-40 days , the chick will appear, and we also expect and this year, well, a large number of chicks, since we have almost 2,500 pairs of penguins on the island, respectively, each penguin lays from one to three testicles and each one has, on average, two chicks, and it happens that one survives, one does not , but, but they grow for a long time, and this period lasts about a month and a half for sure. maybe even two months, when they appear, they do not fall off at the same time, but gradually different couples at different times and accordingly, respectively , the chicks appear for quite a long time and at the same time at one moment we

can, we will observe, as last year such a baby boom, when there will be a lot of nestlings on the island, and accordingly, at the same time, a large number of e are born there, and we , too, watch them, with the main goal of preserving all this beauty, uniqueness, nature for future generations of humanity, someone there too makes his comments in the background, yes, they don't, they don't live their lives , they don't react to people, they don't fear people, and they go about their daily business, build their nests with... by the way, it's interesting that they really let near and well, in fact, these are cubs , offspring, their behavior does not change when the cubs appear, well , in the antarctic, the behavior of people, penguins, seals, fur seals is very regulated, they are

the masters here, and certain ones are created for people. conditions and our task as biologists and in general polar explorers is not to interfere with nature and we try to coexist with them, realizing that we are here guests on this continent, that is why we go to them, go about our business as if nothing had happened, and accordingly, accordingly, their lives continue, sir serhiy, thank you very much for showing us all this beauty, we are waiting for the newborns, so to speak, serhii glotov, biologist of the 28th ukrainian antarctic expedition, akademik vernansky station,

right from there, the single news marathon continues. chorons approaching victory through the wild whistle, under the explosion of mines, gathering all the will , let's go to ours, let's liberate our lands together, join our fighters, the national police brigade, people, the questionnaire can be filled out on the nab npgo website, or by calling 097, 725-25-13. ukrainian gives freedom. the occupiers are pulling their tails, having heard about ukrainian cotton and cotton. and we haven't mentioned words with 30 letters yet, although we have affectionate words for everyone. we cannot be destroyed, we are protected by the power of the three forms of the future tense. we will go, we will go, we will

go to victory in spite of everything. ukrainian the language of the free rules of a warm country: healthy care. thank you for gaining energy on foot, avoiding the elevator and restoring health. let's beat the winter together. warship, i suggest you lay down your arms and surrender. ukraine and the glory is not mine, they will still direct, their
