including energy and critical infrastructure. of course, this is a maximum wish that is unlikely to be fulfilled right here and now, but on the other hand, we already see with you that we will receive help in the form of modern air defense systems, patriots, arresters, samsya and all the rest, simply that they are not enough for us to be able to close the whole sky and close at least our space from attacks precisely on the energy infrastructure, that is, we must ask for more, our partners must look for opportunities to produce more of such systems, realizing that they will be able to help us, on the one hand, on the other hand, i would now like to say that considering that ukraine is part of the european

union, we are in the same boat with europe, and attacks on the ukrainian energy system are attacks on the common european energy system, and our european partners should be interested in ensuring the security of our common energy system now, and for this, it may be worth considering the option of using nato forces. and nato weapons in order to to protect our facilities, and i'm talking about president macron's initiative, which he announced, yes, when it came to providing ukraine with military, nato aid, why not start by using it for the protection of our critical infrastructure along with ...

the appropriate air defense assets that we would operate them, that they would help us support and so on, and that could be one of the first steps, well, of course, i think that international partners will help rebuild thermal power plants, it is possible that there will be some modern modular small theses, but as far as now, especially here is the beginning of spring, summer , renewable energy sources will help to increase the generation. and essentially provide light to ukrainian cities. you and i understand very well that the light shines during the day, and we have peak loads in the morning and evening, on the power system. we need extra electricity in the morning when we wake up and in the evening when we get home. the sun usually doesn't shine, well , in the summer, okay, it might already be shining, but still, it is not an optimal source for overlapping our peaks. eh, it could be other

solutions, it could be gas-piston stations that will work on gas, only to our great regret, we do not yet see appropriate decisions from the ukrainian government in order to stimulate exactly this direction of replacing large generation facilities smaller in size and those that could really be connected quite quickly in the event of the need to... provide cities, districts, electricity, and by the way, we are not the only ones talking about electricity, if you look at kharkiv, there has been great damage and in fact serious destruction to objects that generate heat, and the question of what to do with the city of kharkiv, how to prepare it for the next winter, that's what we have to think about today , how do we get through the next winter, and here our partners... are ready

to help us, but our country also has to do its job. well, there are indeed concrete proposals, i thank you for voicing them, viktoria voytsytska was in touch, an expert on energy issues, a member of the people's deputy the eighth convocation, and i continue to talk about money, in particular, as i promised, about new possible taxes. an increase in excise taxes on fuel is inadmissible, people's deputies from the european solidarity faction said. in their opinion, this is a semi-secret decision of the government. lead to a negative effect on the economy and worsen people's living standards. lawmakers advised the authorities to find additional resources in the budget from the gambling business, for example, and the illegal cigarette market, because currently more than uah 32 billion can be obtained from excise taxes on tobacco and alcohol. let's listen to the direct speech. now even in the process of negotiations on joining the european union. union, we have to agree

that ukraine will approach the minimum european rate in much wider steps, that is, we will take it. this installment for tens of years, because in our country we are not well provided for, our economy is suffering the most now, the cost of fuel, the cost of energy, you cannot avoid it in any way, even today in the price of food, and the first to be affected by the price increase will be agricultural enterprises industry, then this... will definitely cause a sharp increase in all food products. and about financial services on wheels. in the donetsk region , a mobile branch of oschadbank was created on the basis of an armored car. residents of communities close to the front lines can

receive social benefits, salaries, issue a card or pay utility bills, for example. the head of the region, vadym filashkin, told about it. the department has the necessary communication, so it can work. routes in the most remote settlements the mobile branch will be determined according to local applications, that is, there will be applications for receiving a pension or paying utility bills, that's where such a branch will arrive on the wheels of the state savings bank. and i will end the issue with this news, but a big broadcast is going on, there will be more to come, watch us. a lot of important statements were made today, a lot happened, and for sure serhiy rudenko will discuss this with his guests in the verdict program at 8 p.m., well, more specifically, what will be discussed, serhiy, please tell me, good evening, good evening, vasyl, let's talk today about zelenskyi's latest statements, about the possible

offensive of the russian federation in may- june, and actually what these statements mean, to whom they are directed and whether they will be heard... for the first time in the west, and, of course, let's talk about how additional security measures are being implemented in the cities of ukraine, they are already talking about possible countermeasures against saboteurs in the ukrainian capital, we will talk about all this for the next hour, starting at 20:00, we will have three guests, this is major of the armed forces of ukraine ihor lapin, british political scientist taras kuzyo and military expert oleksandr musieyenko. in addition to the possible threats that may be from the russian federation in may-june, let's talk about the threats posed by the telegram network, or rather mesengzher telegram, and whether it is necessary in ukraine to regulate

the activities of this information platform with russian roots and that platform that is used quite actively by russian special services to collect information related to... arrivals and other important information that is part of ukraine's national security. by the way, general budanov said yesterday that the existence of the telegram is actually a matter of national security of ukraine. well, one more topic, which is quite actively being pumped up in russia right now, is about the fact that the moscow church. declares a holy war against ukraine, and this is done at the synod of the russian orthodox church, so they decided that the war with ukraine is a holy war, and it must necessarily end with the russian, all-russian, including

the russian orthodox church, should be on the territory of ukraine, and everything that is now and is called ukraine, should become part of russia, and patriarch gundyaev. insists that we must strive for that, because now in ukraine, according to him, there are nationalists, nazis, and they are harming orthodoxy, russian orthodoxy, what does this statement mean and should we respond to this statement by adopting the decision to ban the branch of the russian orthodox church in ukraine. we will talk about all this for an hour, starting at 20:00. let me remind you once again that we will have an officer of the armed forces of ukraine ihor lapin, a british political scientist, as a guest. taras kuzyo and military expert oleksandr musienko. see you on the air in literally 12 minutes. vasyl's great evening of winter

continues. vasyl, you have a word. thank you very much serhii, so we are waiting for serhii rovdenko on the 20th and i will pour chechenina as his guest. we have already waited, but now the preface. save. animals in order to remain human, the premiere screening of the documentary we, our pets and war is currently underway in kyiv. this is the work of popular blogger anton ptushkin, who became famous for his travel show. lina chechenina, tell me more, lin, please please, good evening. good evening, vasyl, good evening to our viewers. actually, i want to say that i am currently at the documentary film festival, and i am just about to start watching this film, but i am already ready to tell you about it at least a little. a lot of people came to one of the cinemas in kyiv today,

all because anton ptushkin is certainly a very popular person, when even before the start of the full-scale invasion, when a lot of bloggers, unfortunately, ours on youtube, made content so that the russians did, then at anton's, which was probably the most popular travel show, in this whole large space, after a full-scale invasion, he clearly gave up... anything russian-speaking, switched to ukrainian, and he also makes a food blog, talks together with restaurateur mykhayl katsurin about various dishes in different cities of ukraine, popularize ukrainian cuisine, discover it for themselves, and anton tushkin shot his first full-length documentary, i want to say that in general it is very fashionable now, among many people who were previously not related to cinema, to documentaries, in general to... what, because now there is such a real boom in documentaries, ukrainians want to watch

documentaries, and here we see footage from this film, the film tells about animals saved during the war, as ukrainians they are saving animals, but i watched the same as you , i only watched the trailer, but after literally 5-7 minutes the show itself begins, and in this trailer we already see many people who tell how they themselves saved animals or... animals that were saved, and we we remember that there were an awful lot of these stories like this, and they were very colorful and poignant and with a good ending, with a not so good ending, we keep seeing all these animals, and the rescue animals that save people under the rubble, and our unconditional attitude towards animals, it changed a lot for the better and with the beginning of a full-scale invasion, it seems to me that because... you know, now many documentarians and authors in general say that our film should be shown

abroad, because he says something good about ukraine and ukrainians, i still don't know the quality of this film there from an artistic point of view, but i absolutely support that this is our attitude towards animals, all these cases of rescuing animals and how they left occupied cities with a bunch of animals , i think this is a very good image story for us. well, as for anton ptushkin himself, i don’t want to remind you that he became particularly famous for his really interesting travel blogs, he traveled all over the world, he filmed himself, that is , he did everything himself, and i want to ask him after show, did he really do everything here himself, well, i doubt it, of course, there was a big team here, but here, but i want to watch the tape, it will be released on april 4, so i hope that it will be a success. the audience gets pleasure, and i will also say that together with this film, the film in general opens a big documentary

film festival, you can also watch the program in cinemas and leave, because there are many films about the war, many films that somehow touch on the war, and i will remind you once again that almost all of them tv colleagues are saying that now they are very popular with viewers, there are documentaries that were not so popular before, now they are on... in terms of ratings, they are approaching some really entertaining shows, it is very cool, such a big push, so we are waiting for new ones achievement, maybe someone else very unexpected will make a documentary for us, but for now we will watch what anton ptushkiv made for us about animals, that's all i have, continue the broadcast. thank you very much to lina chechenii, it's cool that people understood after all

full-scale invasion and how many eight years of war, that the russian one is not the same, and stopped working on the russian market, at least after the full-scale invasion, it is cool, cool that these people are now working in the ukrainian audience, it is very good, and i i urge you, by the way, to watch the verdict program today, because here are the words of the president that i voiced. what he told the publication, well not the publication, it's cbs, i think if i'm not mistaken, about the offensive and we need help, the president talks a lot and nothing i will not comment, there are actually people who can comment and speak. but again, if the enemy was preparing for us, well , they don’t prepare for an offensive for two weeks, but at that time we had a race for gold and many other incomprehensible things, and then, oh, and we have an offensive, and we are not ready, give us something, well, this is how it looks, maybe everything is much more complicated, but in principle , everything in life is much more complicated, but very often with regard to some people, you think that everything is more expensive there

, but it turns out that everything is much more difficult there easier, and it's frustrating, but it doesn't let you down espresso. stay with us, now the weather is from natalka didenko, goodbye! synoptic greetings to all, our dear viewers, we are starting our weather meeting, and first we will talk not about air temperature, humidity, precipitation, but about flowers, about the current beautiful spring, which is already gaining momentum, we are today. let's talk about crocuses and learn, maybe something new about them, we will remember something, crocus or saffron, a very beautiful word, by the way, this is a genus of herbaceous, perennial 70 species of plants of the pivnyk family are known, there are a lot of them in the mediterranean, nine species are found on the territory of ukraine, which is also quite a lot. saffron

is used, well, for spices, as a source of spices and a dyeing plant. it is used in traditional medicine, it is a painkiller or diuretic, and it is also used as an ornamental plant, now there are a lot of saffron crocuses and it incredibly decorates our parks, flowerbeds and streets, which are still quite poor in flowers, it is used in the food industry as yellow dye for cheeses, butter, liqueurs. and some types of soft drinks, well, if it is a natural dye, so be it. saffron is known from the early middle ages, it is known, it was very much in greece, was added together with egg white, and was used to illustrate manuscripts, that is, painted, and saffron with white was also made with gold varnish, to give the surface such a golden

shade to imitate gold leaf. this is the crocus, both beautiful and useful. we go on talking. about magnetic storms, tomorrow, as you can see from the forecast chart, the situation is quite calm, there is nothing so special, so we continue our meeting and talk about the weather forecast, just now it happened to us, he was passing by, who is it here tarasik, tarasik, he is from you are welcome, but as you can see, he has a lot of work, but still, let's say hello to everyone, oh such a whirlwind, and talk about the weather that is expected in ukraine in the coming days. an atmospheric front will come to us tomorrow, so in some areas there will be rains, sometime at night, sometime in the morning. so, tomorrow in the west of ukraine in the coming night, rainy weather will prevail, but in the afternoon precipitation will stop. the air temperature is high, +12 -19°. in the north of ukraine tomorrow

, the air temperature will settle a little, so to speak, +10-+15. and it will rain and a strong wind will also be observed, in the east of ukraine tomorrow the rain will be heavy until late in the evening, the air temperature is also quite high in the eastern part of ukraine +12 +16°. in the central part of ukraine, there will also be a lot of clouds, it will rain, it will be observed strong wind, but the air temperature, i hope will compensate for all these synoptic inconveniences +12 +16 in... in the daytime part of ukraine, no precipitation is expected, only in zaporizhzhia it will rain, the air temperature will be high, as it should be in the south +18, +21° . well, in kyiv tomorrow there will be a short-term cooling down to +11°, it will rain, tomorrow do not forget an umbrella and appropriate clothes, because the rain will also be combined with a strong wind, but on the weekend in most regions of ukraine

warm, sunny weather will prevail, be careful always stay tuned for updated... forecasts on the espresso channel. good evening, we are from ukraine. greetings, these are the chronicles of the war. i am olga len. well, the last week was marked not only by active actions at the front, but also by strikes on ukrainian infrastructure. we will talk about all this, but first of all. i am asking you to join our collection for three four-wheel drive vehicles, this is a powerful land cruiser, for the air intelligence group, the general directorate of intelligence, a pickup truck for the 43rd separately. artillery brigade and refrigerator for removal and transportation of fallen heroes. our goal is uah 9,000. cars are such a very important consumable, they work in

an extremely intensive mode, without them, in fact, our fighters at the front cannot be, they really save a lot of lives, so please join, you see the card number, you see the qr code . any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. i hope with your help we will close this collection as fast as we can. well, let's look at the battle map now, after that we'll move on to the conversation. map of fighting for period march 20-27, 2024, russia has increased its pressure and is advancing on the front. the occupiers are taking advantage of the window of opportunity, while the armed forces have not yet fully recovered from shell hunger, the russians have increased it. the number of airstrikes and offensives on the entire front, and this, unfortunately, brings results. luhansk region thanks to the raid of russian volunteers on the belgorod region

, it was possible to distract part of the enemy's army advancing from the kupyan direction. therefore, this section of the front is one of the few where there are no territorial changes. simultaneously to the south, in the direction near kreminnaya rashista, large resources were concentrated to push back the defense forces to the right bank of the zherebets river in the direction of nalem. during the week , the rashists conducted several waves of assaults on the villages of terne, yampolivka, and torske. several times the positions of the armed forces changed hands, but the other day the invaders managed to advance a few hundred meters to the west and gain a foothold. intense fighting is currently taking place on this part of the front. chasiv yar is preparing for a siege. fighting over the 6 km long territory between bakhmut and chasov yar lasted for almost a year. no bohdanivka, nor ivanovske not yet... i will add, but the situation is developing in such a way that it will probably happen in the coming weeks. during this week, the russians managed to break even further into the center of ivanovo, as well as

gain a foothold on its southern and northeastern outskirts. in addition, they were able to occupy our positions along the khromovych sivyar road, which runs along the ridge of the highlands. it is along this ridge that they intend to approach the city, the outskirts of which are about a kilometer away. through a busy observation post. the russians are now on the ridge can carry out fire control both behind bohdanivka and ivanivskyi, at the same time they are trying to break out behind the ssu from klishchiivka and andriivka, crossing the railway and the canal and entering our rear. however, ukrainian soldiers in this area hold the front and repel all attacks. postavdiyiv front. in a week , the rashists were able to dislodge the ztonenko and orlivka armed forces and occupied these villages, so, as expected, the front began to form along... both banks of the durnaya river and the lakes and floodplains that it forms. heavy fighting continues for the central street of berdychiv, where the defense forces restrain the enemy on the left bank of the river and

prevent attacks on the main line of our defense. instead, the occupiers are trying to develop a breakthrough west of the thin in the direction of naumanske, where our defense line is also located. however, to cover these 4 km, the enemy will not lose more than 1,000 soldiers. coal sector, novomykhaivka. has been the epicenter of battles at the junction of the eastern and southern fronts for several months, despite the fact that the rashists have been attacking the village from three sides for the past few days made their way to its central part, the armed forces continue to hold the blow, and the front line remains conditionally stable. to the north of maryinka, the russians again attacked in the direction of krasnogohorivka, they managed to cross the river on a stretch of 2 km, so this will enable them to attack the village from another direction. the offensive on georgiyivka is progressing like fire . up to a hundred meters per week. the armed forces flew to crimea again. a complex attack by missiles and drones not only hit two large yamal amphibious assault ships in the bay in sevastopol

and captured earlier our konstantin olshansky, but also destroyed two communication centers, the main one in the black sea fleet of the russian federation in sevastopol, as well as at the airfield in belbek. in addition, at this littoral , missiles destroyed and damaged at least three sud-27 fighters in the area of ​​gvardiyskyi, where it is located. more than 20 explosions rang out at the oil storage facility, and baovna also visited the railway center in dzhankoya. the largest missile strike this year 98 cruise missiles, kh-101 and kh-55, more than 20 iskander ballistic missiles, five x-22 missiles, no less than seven daggers, two super-expert zircon missiles and one and a half hundred shaheds fell on the heads of ukrainians in most of the regional centers of our country in three days. as a result of the biggest attack on... energy facilities, electricity disappeared in at least 15 cities. dnipro, kharkiv, zaporizhzhia, khmelnytskyi and lviv region were the most seriously affected, although the capital was mostly targeted. strikes on

russia: our drones hit another kuibashivsky oil refinery, which is located in samara and processes more than three million tons of oil per year, or 1% of all oil refining. in a year, all refineries of the russian federation process an average of 270 million tons. in general, in three months we destroyed nine russian plants that processed 30% of oil, and there are another 10 plants within a thousand-kilometer range of ukrainian drones, which process 32% of the volume of oil in this industry, so potentially drones sbu and gur can stop 62% of russia's oil refining. we win daily, death to enemies. so, let me remind you about our fee for three four-wheel drive cars, please join him. well, we will actually discuss what we saw with igor, oh, excuse me, ivan

kyrychevsky, military expert def. express, well, first of all i want to congratulate you, ivan, good day, i want to talk first of all about this missile danger, about these missile strikes that we saw, because they really intensified, firstly, secondly, well, it's hard not to notice that this is, well, an attack on the civilian population and on the civilian infrastructure, and that's exactly how it's visible in kharkov, odesa, around the crooked corner, an attempt to literally, well, de-energize our cities, how to explain what, what, why so, why now it seems like it would be enough, we all expected it in the winter, it didn't happen in the winter, it's happening now, why now? come on, regardless of what i say next, this is by no means a justified action by the russian invaders, it just might give an answer, why now? well, let's

follow this logic, in order for us to more or less independently provide for our defense needs there, we need all kinds of heavy industry, this segment of the economy, it is traditionally energy-intensive, accordingly in this case, as you know, there is no special seasonality here, that is, we need a lot of electricity all the time, but in return we even have some successes about that, some reports about the successes of our domestic defense production were sold, there are numbers of a pleasant harvest , then... the russians could have a strategic idea, er, well, let's say this, to try to literally de-energize our defense capabilities in the first place in all senses of the word, well, then at the same time to de-energize, well, we as a country, in principle, reduce the potential as such, to resistance, especially since here if the very logic of the term strategic aviation, well , that is, when strategic bombers take to the air, then this directly implies that the enemy wants to achieve a strategic

result with this, that is... well, let's put it this way, we can to proceed now from the fact that it is a terrible situation with electricity there in odesa, there in kharkiv, in other regions there, but the russians obviously had a much broader task there, to almost knock out our power system with one blow, for example, so that we would all be here in a state of blackout, especially since this should be expected, or rather the intention of the russians against the background of reports of a shortage of anti-aircraft missiles in our country, but... here we have what we have, plus one more note should be made, if take into account the fact that on russian missiles, the detonators are detonated according to the computer command, and not according to the contact, that is, when hitting the ground, well, regardless of where the russian missile was aimed, well , if it exploded, hit the a civilian building, there is a residential building, well, that means unfortunately, the russians targeted it in this way, and it has also been noticed during these

last few days that the russians began to strike with such drones, well, not only in the interior of the country, as they used to do, but literally in front-line cities, for example, today it was raisin, where drones flew right into the houses, and well, this is also some kind of new, kind of edge, and you know, can we say here that in this way they are trying, well, on the one hand, to really achieve some power outage industry, but also the demoralization of the population while preparing to some, well, maybe political, maybe military actions, is it possible to predict something like that? well, it really is, let's say this, one does not negate the other in any way, because maybe i just said it too metaphorically in order to cut off the electricity in the whole country, well, that is , i may repeat the thesis that i have already

repeated somewhere, but... well... russians, when are they?
