visionary and former ambassador of ukraine to israel, the usa and canada, about the situation in the united states and its world order as a result of such political processes. iryna koval will talk about the equally important things that have happened in ukraine and the world recently. let's listen together. thank you, oksana, indeed, in just a moment i will tell you about the most important events that are known at this time, so wait. it's 3 p.m. in ukraine and to your attention is a news release on the espresso tv channel. in the studio of iryna koval. greetings to all viewers. tragic shooter in the center of zaporizhia. an unknown person shot the woman twice. as a result of her injuries , the victim died on the spot. after that , the shooter saw a law enforcement officer and shot him.

himself, the head of the regional military administration yuriy malashko informs about it. the circumstances of the incident are currently being investigated by law enforcement agencies. racists dropped a high-explosive aerial bomb on the yuzhno-donbaska-3 mine in a coal mine, said petro andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of mariupol. according to him, the enemy attacked the object of the temporarily occupied territory of the donetsk region. ukrainian special operation, a fire at an oil terminal in the leningrad region of russia was caused by drones of the security service of ukraine. this was reported by the public. explosions rang out in ustluga port. all personnel were evacuated. earlier, the governor of the region alexander drozdenko announced about the fire. he added that in the kingisep district of the region, the regime of heightened alertness was introduced. volodymyr zelensky

does not see the need to mobilize half a million military personnel now, the president said in an interview with the british tv channel channel 4 news. except moral component, because it is about human lives, according to the president, one should not forget about the economic component as well. this is still money. uh, and no matter what one thinks, all these finances, they definitely do not come from partners, uh, i want everyone to understand, all these salaries are for mobilization, mobilizations, for salaries, then for our military, all this gives the ukrainian budget, and therefore, when we say half a million, we need to think, there is

a request, we need to count everything correctly. do not be silent, captivity kills. an action was held in kyiv on support of prisoners of war. more than a hundred people came out to remind ukraine about the defenders who are in russian captivity. among them are relatives and friends, as well as military personnel and caring citizens. actions were also held in odesa, vinnytsia, khmelnytskyi, kharkiv, pavlograd, dnipro, chernivtsi and kremenchuk. let me remind you, according to the ministry of internal affairs. more than 35 ukrainian defenders are in russian captivity. great britain will lose $514 million to upgrade the missile system currently used by the royal navy to shooting down enemy drones over the red sea, - defense minister grand shabs said on the bbc. we are talking about the new dragonfire laser weapon. in the ministry of defense. great

britain also said that the ceaviper air defense system will be upgraded with missiles with a new warhead and software that will allow it to shoot down even ballistic missiles. we have to be prepared, we have to understand the era we live in, where there are irrational states like iran, north korea and non-states. houthi entities operating in the red sea i was in the red sea last week to thank our men on hms diamond and many other crews. who would have thought that non-state groups like the islamic state, joining together, would be able to use quite sophisticated weapons, and all this plunges our world into danger. for the first time in her career, ukrainian marta kostyuk made it to the open quarterfinals. championship of australia, in the fourth

round she defeated the russian marina timofeeva. it is interesting that before the match kostyuk refused to take a joint photo with the representative of the russian federation. tomyst took a separate photo with the girl who conducts the raffle. reception, service. and this week , the speaker of the parliament of latvia paid a friendly visit to ukraine. her country has become a true friend and partner of ukraine since the beginning of the great war. so ms. daiga visited not only the capital, but also chernihiv oblast, which partially survived the occupation last year. our journalists also went with the delegation. we will see the results of the trip later in the article by kateryna galko. the speaker of the diet of latvia, ms. daiga mierinja, is officially speaking for the first time visited ukraine. in addition to the capital, she also visited chernihiv oblast, a region with which her country

cooperates fruitfully and is helping to restore it with all its might. the region that the russians tried to capture and destroy at the beginning of the full-scale invasion. this life was 30 years. good, so we did not expect it, but thank you for telling us that there is such a country that can help, this is ms. olena, a resident of yagidnogo, 18 km south of chernihiv, her husband died at the hands of the occupiers, and the house was destroyed by russian shells, he admits, in rebuilding his own accommodation i didn't believe it anymore, but thanks to the help of the latvians, the new home will be so. mrs. daiga, who visited the construction, promised to come again, to stay in the already restored building. and then the delegation of the republic of latvia went to chernihiv to open a day center. the whole city, it

is affected. stress disorders in women and in men, manifestations of aggression, and just such centers that are now. appear in chernihiv, such as our center, it is first of all psychological help, screening, it is help to children who have received psychological injuries. st. olga's women's hub is a center that will take care of women and children affected by the war. its creation was made possible thanks to the donor support of the ministry of foreign affairs of latvia and the latvian organization marta center. here, anyone who wishes will be able not only to receive help from specialists, but also to do sports with... leave the child for a few hours or consult about employment. the next stop of the delegation is kindergarten number 19, which was seriously damaged as a result aerial bombardment and artillery hits, it is being rebuilt. it was very important for us

to do a lot of work as quickly as possible in order for the children and families to return. parents could go to work, which means kindergartens must function. the initial work in this institution was financed by the state and the city, but from the spring with the support of the latvian government in cooperation with proon, a complete comprehensive reconstruction of the premises, roof repair, facade insulation, and internal work should begin here. in general, already in the city during active hostilities actions, 80% of the entire educational infrastructure was damaged. it is she who is the priority in restoration, - noted the speaker of the latvian parliament. not about that... but she talked with the head of the chernihiv ova, and also assured that they would not stop at schools and kindergartens. today, we talked with the latvian side and ms. daiga about the issue of restoring the shelters. what else must be said about demining is a very, very important issue, and

today latvian partners, including latvian organizations, are working on humanitarian demining in chernihiv oblast. the republic of latvia is one of the first countries. which recognized the russian federation as a terrorist country, was the first in the european union to pass a decision on the confiscation of russian property and recently adopted a resolution condemning the deportation of ukrainian children. and latvia's military and humanitarian aid relative to gdp is one of the largest in the world. if all countries, our partners and allies allocated as much percentage of gdp as latvia currently allocates for aid, believe me, we probably would have long ago... and even such a visit to ukraine was the first for mrs. daiga, it was undoubtedly very thorough, what i saw and heard convinced me again of the value of help from latvians, and also left no doubt that we really need such support.

today we visited the village of yagidne, and although i admit that the latvian people followed very closely and carefully in the news, in the stories what happened in this place, it is still impossible to convey it, what we saw, saw these eyes of people and heard these living stories, it cannot be compared to what we only seen the republic of latvia will continue to offer us a strong, friendly shoulder. in particular , 5 million euros are provided for the reconstruction of ukraine in the state budget of latvia for 2024. glory of ukraine. such were the news at that time. we will see you in less than an hour. well , you can read more news on our website espresso.tv. follow us on social networks. and of course. continue to watch the broadcast with us, because it will be continued by my colleagues roman chaika and oksana

vysochanska. well, we heard from the news, yes a bomb on ughledar, before that ballistics on kropyvnytskyi, and in the first half of the day explosions rang out and there were shelling in donetsk. district there in the middle of the day on the market square 18 dead, the local russian administration says numbers that we cannot verify, they say 25 dead, our military, approximately the number of wounded too, yes, but our military, including artillerymen, they are a little , in contrast to those who sit in front of the tv without brains, the townspeople have and have the main experience, according to the trajectory, everything is already clear and it is obvious to them, to the specialists... these were shellings from the position of the red guard mines, and this is russian

territory controlled by them, that is where these shells came from, that is, this is not the first time when these dambili bambas are trying to be used and the development of events indicates the same , because russia has already passed only a little time immediately announced that they are convening an emergency meeting of the un security council, of course, that lavrov should also take part in all this in view of... these shellings and now they will shout that they are being shelled and someone is there a classic double-header, i really want that if the radbesoogon sits down, they should just put plasma on the walls like that and put their own video there, which our fighters transmitted, so that they could broadcast avdiivka, bakhmut, and at that time they were shouting about dumbells bombasy, then it might work, okay, now we will talk about our... colleagues, partners, allies and neighbors about poland, a polish

politician recently returned just to report, he is a member of the polish diet in the past, our colleague myroslav cech, whom we welcome to our air, mr. myroslav, glory to ukraine. glory to the hero. finally, it is calm on the polish-ukrainian borders, there are no blockades, there are no large numbers of people crossing, passing, and... not allowing certain vehicles in one direction or another, but this does not mean that everything will be so good in the future, they ask, why don’t you believe in good, i believe that someday it will happen, but for now we have announced nuances, i won’t say that there are problems, but there are certain difficulties that need to be solved, so poland is asking, poland will maintain the embargo on ukrainian food and grain until the european commission implements the necessary

mechanisms that will regulate the polish market, that will protect the polish market, that's what the relevant relevant ministry of poland said, we remember that no polish farmers are satisfied with the fact that ukrainians are now supplying europe with their goods. what do you think, mr. miroslav, how should this regulation take place, you? 20 years ago they went through a similar process, you know how difficult and painful it is, poland was not at war then, poland was not attacked then , well, of course, if we were talking about economic relations between the two countries, then this is a much simpler situation, one could show such an experience, and another experience, on ukraine was attacked, ukraine is waging a brutal war against the russian aggressor, an aggressor who wants to destroy the country, kill the economy. to destroy as many ukrainians as possible, to conquer the entire territory of ukraine, and then to move farther

west, well, it is obvious that everyone understands it, so here it is not even close to compare the situation that existed when poland and other countries of central and eastern europe joined the european union, with the situation with ukraine, introduced to remove quotas for ukrainian exports. products to the european union and licenses for transportation of vehicles, because they were introduced as a gesture of solidarity, the so-called corridors of solidarity for ukraine and support. economy of ukraine in a situation when the routes were completely blocked by the russians and it was not possible to export products by any other route than by land, well, it is just as obvious of course, and the european commission reminds us of this, so there are no other criteria here, such as a view on this issue, as just a war, when we write off, when we try

to write off the situation in which ukraine is, well... and putting healthy feet on a sick head situation and description of this situation cannot be allowed to do so. mr. myroslav, i just want one more clarification, whether ukrainian grain is really so dangerous for the polish and european market, that is, for polish farmers, it poses such a threat, or here it's just banal that you want to use a little more of that money, subsidies, and get some better conditions, well, this is such a very characteristic moment for a person ... it would take a long time to talk about the year 2022 and the situation on the markets of agricultural products, world markets, the balance prices and so on. the situation now in 2024 and towards the end of 2023 is radically different from that

which was in 2022, because in 2022. five countries neighboring ukraine imported 10 million tons of ukrainian grain, the most imported from romania, and there really created problems on the market, in poland such problems arose only on the market of corn, wheat and so on, that is, i do not want to go into details, because you can talk about it for a long time, but this factor that you are talking about i.e., about what is wanted on the blocking and on... different uh-uh-uh moments, where the situation with ukraine, ukrainian grain, ukrainian agricultural products is used, of course, in the end, i want to get more money for myself, like from the polish budget , as well as from the budget of the european union. ugh, mr. myroslav, but i would like to pay attention to what to read in the polish

press, at least in the last week, when we saw changes at the borders, by the way. well, that is, we understood that the government of donald tusk did manage to come to an understanding behind closed doors with these blockers, especially their political curators, but i read, i look through the polish press every day in one way or another, it seems that the elections continue, the war continues, hostilities continue, i watch in one they try to film everything there... that’s distrust, no, sinkevich resisted, then i look, i read, yes, but here we have such cheerful anti-semites, like brown, but the sejm just removed his immunity so that he could be brought to

justice for all his anti-ukrainian and racist attacks and with khaanenko and so on , then i look at the budget process, also the budget process, it’s like, as the newspaper writes... is it a good budget no, is it a real budget no, could donald tusk’s government have done something better, not much, do we have problems, yes yes we do , only at the moment polish society cannot hurry up, that's how the election newspaper writes, one in a word, such and such, god grant the degree of opposition, what is in poland in your eyes? well, on october 15, elections were held , the results of which led to a radical change in the political situation in poland, and a new democratic coalition was formed, the result of which, at least the unblocking of the ukrainian-polish border, is a huge achievement of the new government and government,

which has , huh using colloquial language, but there are extremely many problems , the confrontation with the camp that left power, that is, law and justice, continues because he placed his people in many state institutions, and from this camp there is president andrzej duda, who stood up for the people of the pis, and the structures of the pis and both this and that, which happened in poland for eight years, especially from .. with the law enforcement system, the judicial system, the system that criticized these changes in šenttiv prah, the european commission and the european court, and the court. of the european union and the european court of human rights, so now the process in poland is very painful and such a crisis process

the restoration of legality, the rule of law and democratic, democratic principles of governance, is very hot and scandalous, especially this concerns the mass media that have been captured for many years even before these elections, we see that they were there in the beginning. protest, then the courts came, now we are looking at what controversial decisions are being made regarding this particular state television and other media consortia, this is far from the end, as i understand it, of this struggle, well, it is not even the beginning, well, it is the beginning, the beginning, but it is only the beginning of the process, the process will be local elections will continue in april. authorities, then in june there will be elections to the european parliament, in june 2025 poland

is waiting for presidential elections there in may, so the electoral process, which was started by the parliamentary elections, will continue for them, well, for about a year and three to four months there , somehow, poland will be shaken and it is good to lead it like this, but this is a positive process, i will tell you. because in poland, as it has now become absolutely clear, a semi-authoritarian was formed regime, and its dismantling and the attraction of democratic institutions have not been carried out even under the terms of membership in the european union and nato, poland was the first and is the first to pass through this process, and with great hope the democratic forces in the european union and the authorities of the european union are watching the situation in poland. because when poland succeeds in attracting democracy to the rule of law, it will become easier for other countries, that is , there is not a triumphant march

of populism in the world, but the democrats of the dachshund can also win and ensure top democracy. mr. myroslav, but at a time when poland is shaking so much because of one or the other. circumstances, we see that other countries can take advantage of it, for example, while in poland they blocked the border with ukraine, with ukraine, in romania they began to build such a huge transport corridor, we understand that it can be used for many purposes, after all and at that time romania also took advantage, because many carriers, despite the higher costs, went through romania in order to deliver their cargo faster. fears that this will continue, because... that if there is already a road, there will also be a road to constanta, the romanian one, then they will definitely use it, isn't poland afraid that now it will actually lose the benefit from those

transportations that were across the ukrainian-polish border? well, let's continue to criticize the situation in poland regarding the blocking of the ukrainian-polish border, but also the lack of discussion, an understandable discussion. on this topic, because of the fact that poland blocked the ukrainian border, it does not allow, almost does not allow development at all transportation through romania, the restoration of the grain corridor, and transportation through ports, including romanian ports, it seems that the deputy prime minister of ukraine kubrakov stated that transportation through ports and by this sea route, plus with the help of romania, it surpassed already in that minute. 2021, i.e. pre-war, so ukraine has already resolved its issues related to the export

of its products, grain, and so on, that is, in principle, now it is not about how much grain can be brought there, it will be brought to the european union by land routes, so that ukrainian grain is successfully exported. by sea, by ships, and that is , the situation has changed radically, unfortunately , this has not been seen in poland at all. the other 55% submit, in the three quarters of last year it increased by another 25%, the export of some products to ukraine, significant, eighth place, ukraine, an export country for poland, is blocked here for

the interests of some group. and politically motivated so-called carriers, well this , well, unfortunately, it must be said that there was no rationality, rationalism in all these actions at all , the russian trace was visible, sharply visible in all this, and the disregard for the interests of not only warring ukraine, but the interests of ukraine itself poland, well, i am sorry to say this, but it is a fact. mr. myroslav, thank you for the analysis. of the current situation before the new actual meetings, let's remind you, myroslav cheh, deputy of the polish diet of previous convocations, political analyst, journalist, was with us, and we are doing a little pause, but by the way, about the media only from the other side, our ukrainian media, we will talk further, stay with espresso, there are discounts on ami'. 20% in pharmacies
