to fulfill the key demands of farmers, namely subsidies for corn, cheap loans, and not to increase taxes. more than 70% of ukrainians who left for poland due to the full-scale russian invasion found work there. almost half of polish companies have employees from ukraine. such research was done by polish labor market experts. the number of ukrainians who have started their own business is also increasing. how is it all? affects the economy of the neighboring state. see further in the plot. marina is a repair and tailoring master from the city of dnipro. early full-scale invasion, a woman with two children was forced to leave her home. from the very beginning, i was completely lost, because i was not going to go anywhere. i didn't even have a foreign passport, neither did i, nor did my children, because we weren't thinking of going anywhere. i worked in ukraine. after arriving in warsaw, marina tried to work in a sewing workshop.

this car came to me from ukraine, my mother sent it to me by bus as a parcel, they also disassembled my overlock. i also came from ukraine, that was the beginning, then i've been here a little bit, my friends helped me a lot the poles, and they helped with furniture and various lockers, whatever you want , marina started her business a year ago, she already has many clients, mostly poles, everything was easy to arrange, it can be done online, says the woman, the most difficult thing is to find suitable premises, for 10 km marina pays 2,600 zlotys per month, about 25,000 hryvnias. go the entrepreneurial way in poland while tax benefits help. at the moment, until i earn 30 thousand zlotys in a year, i do not pay taxes. at the moment, i pay only zuz and health. that's it

620 zlotys are received per month. there are more ukrainian entrepreneurs like marina here every year. from the beginning of the full-scale invasion of requests to start business from ukraine. in the second half of 2023, about 4 thousand business activities were registered every month, in the first half of the year there were 200 registrations every month, so we have a jump during the year almost twice, it makes an impression. every tenth company in poland is opened by ukrainians, says the expert. in addition to the fact that our fellow citizens are actively engaged in business, they also create jobs. ukrainians here not only earn, but also spend a lot, in particular , rent and buy housing. as a result , revenues to the polish budget are increasing more and more. in 2022, from the taxes and contributions of the social insurance institution to

the budget, of course, i mean the citizens of ukraine, 4 billion zlotys went to the budget of poland, this is significant. if we talk about the year 2023, then it is already 5.5 zlotys, we have growth here as well. there are also changes in the spheres of activity of ukrainians in poland. traditionally, our citizens actively work in the industry construction, logistics, transport, trade. however, due to the fact that there are now many women from ukraine on the polish labor market, there is an active development of entrepreneurial activity in the field of beauty and health, gastronomy, cooking, and the hotel business. ukrainians are also opening translation companies and the number of it companies is growing. they became much more than usual, which is not surprising, because ukraine has a huge potential in this field and highly qualified specialists. an interesting dynamic is observed in the field of employment, ukrainians who arrived after the start of the full-scale

invasion are less and less willing to work below their skill level, as was the case at the beginning of the great war. it can be seen that people remain here who... have already made an internal decision for themselves to stay for a while, and want to work according to their education, according to their profession, that is, for me, these are positive changes, because, well, this is a little bit of dispelling the myths that ukrainians are not just labor force, and we also show our competences, knowledge, skills to a slightly different market. polish international... companies are increasingly noticing that there are many highly qualified professionals among ukrainians, you can come to show your competences, skills, and nobody pays much attention to your nationality, if you are a good competent worker, great, many

roads are open to you, to start working in polish companies, it is enough for ukrainians to know the language at the b1, b2 level, - says the specialist, in general , numerous studies show that... the polish labor market needs workers, and employers are interested in ukrainians. mary chernyakhivska, ihor antonyuk for the espresso tv channel from warsaw. we will summarize the morning at 12 o'clock , read more on our website espresso.tv, also on our social networks, join, set your favorites, and letters with analytics, my colleagues oksana vasochanska and marta oliyarnyk will continue, do not switch, stay with the espresso team. on february 20, 2023 , us president joseph biden will make an unannounced visit to kyiv, the cameras record how he and president zelenskyy

leave the st. michael's cathedral to music air alarm the visit was more than symbolic. at the beginning of the year, the west united in support of our state, german chancellor olaf scholz finally gave permission. for deliveries of modern leopard-2 tanks to kyiv, and ukrainian servicemen have already mastered american patriot systems in the state of oklahoma. it seemed that support for ukraine was stronger than ever. we have created a coalition of countries from the atlantic to the pacific around the world. more than 50 nations are helping ukraine defend itself with unprecedented military, economic, and humanitarian support. we will be with you as much as. will be needed against the supply of weapons, then only isolated voices were heard, the loudest of them being the prime minister of hungary

, viktor orbán, who never tired of calling for so-called peace, even if ukraine had to give up its territories. if you look at the truth, if you look at the numbers, if you look at the fact that nato is not ready to send its troops to ukraine, then it becomes obvious that the poor ukrainians will not win the battle, which means that de-escalation and negotiations on peace. early in june, the ukrainian counteroffensive finally began in the south. he did not achieve quick results, and already at the nato summit, the freedom of kyiv awaited the first disappointment. allies have clearly stated that they are not ready to invite ukraine to the alliance. we must take a sober look at the current situation. the ukrainian government itself recognizes the impossibility of becoming a nato member. there is a war going on. our goal is stable military support for ukraine, in particular with modern western

weapons, and strengthening of ukraine's economic stability during defense against russian aggression. towards the end of summer it becomes final it is clear that the results of the counteroffensive are more than modest. the international coalition is beginning to show cracks. in the spring, half a year before the parliamentary elections in poland, the right-wing polish government of mateusz murowiecki banned fasting. of ukrainian agricultural products, kyiv and warsaw exchanged a number of harsh statements, and in november, polish carriers began a large-scale blockade of the border with ukraine. on september 30 , the party of ex-prime minister robert fiitso, a categorical opponent of military aid to ukraine, won the parliamentary elections in slovakia. one one of our biggest allies in the region stopped sending weapons to the armed forces of ukraine. in november, europe was stunned. parliamentary elections in the netherlands. the far-right

freedom party led by geert wilders won the first place there. he is also in favor of limiting military support. in addition , the world's attention was diverted from ukraine by the large-scale war in the middle east, which broke out after the fierce attack of the islamist group hamas on israel. but the biggest problems were waiting for kyiv in the united states. american congress de facto plunged into the election campaign and refused to support ukraine's aid package. more than 60 billion dollars. republicans put forward a categorical demand, first to strengthen security on the border with mexico. within three months, volodymyr zelensky was forced to visit the united states twice, but failed to convince congressmen. at a joint press conference with the ukrainian leader on december 12, president joseph biden used completely different wording than in kyiv at the beginning of the year. ukraine will get out of this war. strong, proud and firmly anchored in the western system, if we do not leave it. americans should be

proud of the role they played in supporting ukraine's success. and we will continue to provide ukraine with the necessary equipment and weapons as much as we can. problems with aid also arose in europe. the same viktor orban blocked the adoption of a four-year aid package for ukraine worth 50 billion euros. the international coalition's military support for kyiv has fallen to... the lowest level since the start of the full-scale invasion. statements are increasingly being heard in the west about the need to seek a diplomatic solution to the conflict. therefore, in 2024, ukraine enters the conditions of deep political, military and economic uncertainty. despite this, at the final annual press conference, zelenskyy made optimistic statements. i believe once again that our partners will not let us down. they know the details, what it needs, how it will affect, they know how it affects. postponement of certain dates, they know about our persistence, that it is not

artificial, that it is necessary for stability for our defense. are there grounds for optimism? it is clear already at the beginning of the 24th. on january 8 , the american congress will return from vacation, and on february 1, the leaders of the european union will gather for a special summit in order to try to approve the aid package for ukraine for the second time. there are 20% discounts on anti-catarrhal drugs in psyllanyk, pam and oskad pharmacies. turn on well, that's when everything is fine. you want a click and you are in the world of cartoons, click and around the world of cinema, then on the good, oh, what you need, megagogo, turn on hundreds of channels, thousands of movies and sports, there are discounts on paracetamol, a 10% donation in pharmacies plantain, bam and savings. verdik with serhiy

to collect qr codes and card numbers for them, you see. on the screen, copy, rewrite, scan as you like, and at every opportunity, at every opportunity, please support this collection, because drones are something that is very, very necessary today on the front line, it is drones that allow us not to expose to the danger of our defenders, allow us to fight and overcome the enemy more effectively, faster, and better, and accordingly bring our victory closer to you. well, actually today in we will have a very busy broadcast, because we have many important topics to discuss. shaheds flew over our country tonight. unfortunately, there are some consequences after a shaheed attack. we will also discuss the situation in pokrovsk, donetsk region. we know that there are terrible consequences due to the arrival, and of course we will

also turn on the hot directions that are currently happening at the front. events are also important to discuss, so today. we will have a rich broadcast, and we would also like to thank everyone who always joins us of our meetings, so if you have a desire, please go to the site and familiarize yourself with the other meetings, and we are already adding yuriy ignat, the spokesman of the air force command of the armed forces of ukraine, to our conversation, we welcome you, mr. yuriy, good day, congratulations , unfortunately we can't hear you right now, but we hope our editors will correct this mistake, and we hope you can hear us well, sir. yuri, look, i would like to immediately follow up and ask you about the rather ambiguous statements of the western media, you already somewhere partially refuted these statements, it is about... a delay with the delivery of the f-16, but we understand that the situation is not officially like that, at least as the western media write about it, and we would ask you

to explain to the espresso viewers anyway , what is happening around the danish f-16 and why did the western media start talking about it now and what is wrong there ? well, look, you're not exaggerating, which western media, the newspaper berlinske, that 's all, that's all the western media, the newspaper about which. no one knew this journalist until now called me, wrote me, i really wanted to be the first, to interview our pilots, i say, well, sorry, it is decided by the danish side, these are your compatriots, yes, who are trained by our pilots in the ministry of defense, contact them there and so on, well, i don't know who he turned to, i don't know who he talked to there, well , there are no statements about the fact that the actual deliveries of those f-16s and so on will be significantly delayed there, because... well, and this is how we understand the date, which was also ours, again inflated by the media, and ours the media inflate more than

the western ones do, i want to tell you, because a note appeared there, i say a note, a material, an article, and after it it flooded our entire information space, telegram channels and so on, and we we are to blame for the fact that we introduce such destructiveness into the information space, i mean our media, our tv channels, which i have already said more than once, that such a mess is happening, irresponsibility in our words, it's just that we need to check the information , it's just trivial to check, if even western the media refers to some unnamed sources, so this does not mean that it is necessary to make the news mainstream and so on, the issue with the f-16, we know that by the new year, all our media also began to say that they are getting a christmas tree, we will get an f16, it all happened. such headlines appeared after the conversation of the president of ukraine with ours, with the leader of one of the western countries, was published

, where it was said that this country is ready for transfer and that's all, nothing else was said, well, if it is ready for transfer, then everyone decided that it would be for the new year, and so on and so on and so on, it was generally about the fact that somewhere closer to spring. there will be, maybe the first f-16s will appear in ukraine, and it will not be many of them, and it will not help us win the war right away, because there will be the first planes, but will the situation change, well, for sure, what will change, one or two two batteries of patriots changed the situation , changed, a lot of russian planes were grounded for good, kiev held out, huge ballistic attacks, changed that, changed, so did the f-16, if in a group of planes that lift... into the airspace somewhere closer to the line of the front and are attacking the russian invaders, there is a group of our planes that we have now, among them there will be two

f16 planes to cover them, then this will already be a very serious argument for russian pilots , is it worth or not to take risks and so on, plus western weapons that they will be able to use our pilots on the f-16, it is significantly different and its efficiency will be much higher. than we are doing with these weapons now from soviet aircraft, certainly not everything will happen at once, certainly the pilots who today are studying in denmark, this is our first group, which is already undergoing training in the air with instructors, there are not so many of them to change anything, but they will be the first and they, the main thing is that it should already go to ukraine, so that the f-16 already from appeared, if our partners would also provide us with an airborne radar, the same avax, then accordingly... this would also greatly increase the effectiveness of these same f-16s, so we actually have to wait for all these moments, you understand correctly ,

there are many countries in the world waiting in line for the f-16, not only the planes themselves, which others want to get countries, but pilot training is also a base , instructors are needed for that, instructors are needed for training, engineering staff and so on, so we also compete, do you think, a country in europe, let's say slovakia... or other countries , who want the front f16 , they are not too willing to give way to ukraine, you see, both in the military aspect, in the national security sphere, and in the economic one, look at the border, what is happening with the same poland, so everything is not simple , diplomacy, military, political the leadership is engaged in these things so that we have both missiles for anti-aircraft missile systems and airplanes as soon as possible. to come to our country as soon as possible, mr. yuriy, so much is said and asked about this, and as you say, they are pushing, because this is what hurts, and another thing that really hurts

ukrainians now is... there is an anti-aircraft defense, you have also mentioned more than once that there is a lot of hype and possibly unnecessary information about it in various media, we understand that during such massive attacks, which took place at the end december and january 2nd, our air defense has used up some of the supplies that we get from the west, do we have time to replenish these supplies as we need to, to cover the need that we need, preparing for the likely next ... attacks and now it is in the light these news that the us may soon not be able to supply us with the same number of missiles to the patriots as before, or do we have an alternative, will we be willing to find somewhere, get all these missiles to be able to defend ourselves? well, look, the same rake now, here in fact, what answer do you expect from me, will i say yes or no, and what will happen

next? well, this is information, mr. yuriy, people want to know, ukrainians want to know, people should not know everything, i want to tell you, not that they should not, people should know, but the information is limited, look how the information from missiles, yes, the new york times, you also say, the sources are also not named , the information appears there about the f-16 and it appeared, behind the scenes, everyone is jumping for joy, they say that they will finally stop supplying missiles to ukraine and will not receive they are so soon as i want 16 and , accordingly, this information war, it is beginning, the information distortion is beginning to affect our citizens as well, in particular, i want to say yes, we spent on two powerful attacks, well, quite a large number of missiles and other ammunition, this is all proven to our partners, our partners know the real need and there is no need there, especially in the new yorkers, to write in others that they won't be able to or will be able to, well, different

ways are being sought, we have been in... for two years, in fact, in such in such a war, when we constantly have to, well, accordingly, count on supplies from the west, do you think that we have soviet duukem1 s300 missiles available, then we also used them a long time ago, we are now drawing on the reserves of those countries that have we are helped by the old soviet ones, we don’t make them either, i’m talking about an alternative , today we have air defense equipment, well, we are completely dependent on... our western partners, i don’t take into account air defense equipment, these are mobile fire groups, where we we can still there, according to their shaheds to work, all partners are informed , you know that they announced a few days ago about another package from the republic of germany, regarding additional systems, germany also has various, and patriots, and iis, and so on, so i do not think that ukraine has be left alone, as russia wants.

of course, we spent, well, really , we spent a lot of funds in a short time, well , let’s hope that they will arrive in the near future and will continue to arrive, or rather, i mean regularly, as it was done in e in all these months, we spend some number, we give requests, our partners give them to us dosed according to the need, because it is not practical to concentrate a large number of missiles in some warehouses at once, it will become a priority target for the enemy, russian intelligence does not sleep anywhere, you see, daily attacks, they aim, including at military facilities where weapons provided to us by our partners can be stored. mr. yuri, regarding today's night attack, there were these terrible announcements, forecasts that were spread from britain and elsewhere that russia would do something plans for their christmas. since january 7, fortunately

there was no mass shelling, but 28 shahads were flying, 21, thank you to the air defense, thank you to our air defense forces, who were beating, or some...
