to, to stabilize the region even further throughout. sanchez, isn't i dollars to specializes in relations between i'm old over and ukraine, l m. i austin, how concerned he is over this appeal of from transmit straight to russia? to be honest, i'm not very concerned because as we've already heard, also just before there has been this call for and referendum already in 2006 there has been uh, the decision to want to join the russian federation about the criminal so far hasn't even recognized uh, tremendous drought now within the current geo political situation, we cannot rule out anything but um, i would follow what the president said model by safe at the moment now is russian president vladimir putin is due to address the nation today ahead of elections in 2 weeks the expect him to react to the requests for help from

a full trans nestor. as she might mention it, i don't think that he will announce anything drastic. it's simply for logistical reasons. there is no possibility that i can see at the moment, that's the russian army, but interfere the situation on the ground as it might change over the next couple of weeks. might present then an opportunity for that. the moment i don't see that there is a highly likelihood that something on the ground can happen. now, how much real support for russia is the general population of transmits true as well? there is, of course, a ties to the language through the history. so sentiments, but especially also through russian propaganda that it's

a broadcast it's uh through media into that part of mold over. um, i would say that some, there is certainly a desire to not be a part of, uh what some maybe is is no longer the russian world. however, if we look at the, for instance, economical data, we see that over the past decade, we have had a development where the process for an economy is exporting more into the european union than it is for the russian federation. you will see a, a changing environment with the necessity for generating electricity and also the gas supply that comes from the russian federation due to a full scale invasion in the ukraine. so there are ties, there are sentiments, but the overall environment is changing and we should also pay attention to that to

the best interests of the vienna. thank you very much. thank you. from us not been protesting for weeks against you, policies and countries across europe. some of the biggest protests have been in poland. farm is also angry, over cheaper food imports from neighboring ukraine. the issue has been straining relations between the 2 countries, which have been close populous since russia's invasion of ukraine follows. authorities have even excuse rush of influencing the farm of protests dw, christine moment, reports from potent or we're in 3. it's cool, but it's sky. 60 kids, how much is outside of also people from this region like to think of it as your biggest orchard, mateusz the policies family has been growing. apples here for a century who we get all the different overboard video file post,
