invent, they help to understand the present and predict the future. trump's second presidency will be for the world terrible a project for those who care and think. political club. every sunday at 20:10 at espresso. we come back and tell you about another blockade. and this blockade is increasing, and it is far from the east, it is on the contrary, in the west of ukraine, and we will talk about this with the people's deputy of ukraine yulia klymenko. ms. yulia, welcome to our broadcast. good day. as for us, we understood that the farmers led by putin's friends, well, they are the ones who harm us all the time, well, but we did not expect such a total blockade. transition of jagodin will be strengthened not only by polish farmers, but

also from three other countries they are being pushed from germany, in my opinion, from france and from where else, that is, a total blockade of some kind comes out, and why is this happening, well , they are certainly not supporters of this confederation or other political forces there , probably these... farmers also know in germany, and in france, and in belgium, and in any other country, that russian grain calmly enters through the same borders, and there no one blocks them for some reason. who manages them, for whose money and so on? well, let's start with who's in charge and whose money it's hard to say, because in fact, as they said correctly, they are from different countries and from different, probably , even political currents, but there is one

big problem, and this is true, it is not the first year. and off the record, many european politicians have addressed this problem for many months, it is ukrainian agricultural exports. they believe and see in it a great, great, well, apart from a competitor, of course, they believe that ukrainian agricultural exports do not pay as many taxes as farmers in the european union, do not comply with standards, let's say so. those which are put forward for farmers in the european union, and thus ukrainian grain is much more competitive, but really you are absolutely right, there is a question here, why the same is not put forward for russians and why the borders are not blocked, and nevertheless russian grain gets very well

well, it's littered, let's say, on the shelves of italy, austria and many other countries, so let 's here... let's sort it out in two parts, on the one hand, of course, someone is using these farmers from the point of view of blocking the borders, and on the other other side, let's be to answer the question asked by tusk, why should we, why should the poles support the ukrainian agrarian oligarchs, so here we need to separate these two questions and still try our and our government and other authorities, look at the question and ask what these actually want . farmers and how to solve this issue, because it is one thing to block the borders, another, another thing when it comes to the fact that agricultural exports, which are the main sector in ukraine to the european union, are actually blocked, and this will greatly complicate our the prospects of joining the european union and the prospects

of integration in general, including the ukrainian agricultural sector, that is why this is a question, there is no simple answer to this question, as one would like, for example, that it is all the fault of the russians, no, there are many layers, which we all need to sort out and sit down and talk with our partners, because you understand that those countries, farmers, who are now headed to the border and blocked, they will also at the level of politicians block any entry of ukraine into the european union, therefore question it is more complicated and we need to start dealing with it, but let me reassure our... and viewers that export agricultural products are going for export, we exported almost 23 million tons of grain by sea, starting from august 23rd , that is 700, it seems 36 ships, and it continues to be exported by sea, that is, yes, it is a bad situation on the border with poland, but it

does not mean that it is a disaster for ukraine, ukraine has chosen sea routes for itself, and also such... countries as romania are partners and such is trying to solve, including and such a blockade. mrs. yuli, look, we understand that we are looking for more and we will strengthen it, maybe with this danube route, and it will increase these numbers even more, we are still talking about such land-based logistics, and here you say , a multi-layered problem, so let's at least we can understand a few of these platforms, because there is a slight feeling of schizophrenia, who has to do with those farmers who follow meckler. or someone else who should communicate with them, because on the eve of this announced strengthening of the blockade, there was information that our government was communicating correctly with the government of poland and that already at the finish line, quotas will be agreed , transit will be agreed, everything will be resolved and the issue will be resolved, this was official information and even

highlighted in the polish media somehow, so it turns out that somewhere on some floor there is an agreement. and, on the lower floor , tractors are driving, and also with other farmers , look, in order to earn such statements that the issue has been resolved, you need to understand exactly what has been resolved, yes, that is, address it clearly, i think that our government does not fully understand and appreciate the depth of the problem, that is, to decide to simply unblock two , even there, i don’t know, two or six border crossings with poland, it’s like how we...blocked in january from cargo carriers, but we unblocked, a month passed and they came again, only not cargo carriers but farmers, next time farmers will not come to the metallurgy, and it will be... endlessly, you understand, there is, well, a chronic disease, but there is an exacerbation, so we are trying, like ukraine and our government, is trying to cure the exacerbation, well, that is also

correct , yes, but it does not solve the chronic the problem, the chronic problem is much deeper, and it sounds in the statements of not only polish, but also other politicians who say that they will demand a ban on ukrainian agricultural products, some say 5 years, some say 20 years, because we are big for them , competitors , and we have really distorted, let's say , the cost price of agricultural products, it is not the same as in the european union, and because of this, strictly speaking, it is necessary to change not only the agreements with the european union, but also to look at the structure and, strictly speaking, the formation cost price inside ukraine and what many of the politicians in there are talking about, and about the fact that our farmers do not pay taxes on... the fact that ours there, i don't know, they use the wrong fertilizers and chemicals and so on, well, i i am not a specialist in agriculture, i will not say

this, but uh, well, that is, it is necessary to sort out what exactly, strictly speaking, they want at the level of imports into the european union and at the level of exports of ukraine for agricultural products, but i want to tell you that in principle polish government. well , it reacts very weakly to any previous and current, both politicians and experts react very weakly to the blockades of these borders with ukraine, and this indicates that this is not only a question of politicians and government officials, it indicates that there is great support for such a blockade within polish society, that is, even these politicians who have already come with democratic slogans and who are not, well... more progressive, as they say, they nevertheless do not solve any of these problems, because they do not want to quarrel with their voters, that is, it is very unpopular among

voters, when politicians are european and the polish intervene in such actions and they do not want to lose their voters, so you know, there is a fairly latent reaction, absolutely inactive in blocking our borders, mrs. yulia, we understand... that at the level of governments, this issue will be raised anyway, they have to discuss somehow, brussels also joins all these discussions from time to time, but now, if we are on the path to the eu, then our legislation must change accordingly, and the requirements for our products, the one that will go further the common european market, these requirements will also be somewhat different, and is it actually the time when we start using... the same fertilizers, for example, and those restrictions will also apply to ukrainians if we want to trade in europe, is it not pom will it not even out the situation, or

will it not be enough? you know, it ’s just necessary to understand what exactly, what claims are in detail regarding the agricultural sector, they say, well, the country is not demanding at the level of farmers, who cannot de facto formulate what they... clearly want, because we have not heard any such clear list at the level of farmers, except that there is too much ukrainian grain and it is of poor quality, but i am sure that the governments and the same polish government, the same brussels clearly understands that, strictly speaking, they expect from ukraine, as it was, for example, with cargo carriers, who clearly said that what they want is the return of de facto permits and the cancellation of liberalization. for ukraine, and so there were still a number of challenges that the stack, perhaps, the ministry of agricultural policy or the cabinet of ministers received such demands , but i don't know anything about them, and you understand,

making changes and forcing our farmers to be better than european farmers, without understanding when we will join the european union, is also very similar, the situation is very misleading, yes, that's why that we can... load our farmers and join the european union for another 10 years, well that's also really unfair to our farmers who are surviving now and working, let's say in such conditions where they don't know if they will be able to sow their fields next year, do they pay rent for mined fields, do they not have access to cheap goods, loans and everything else, that is, this issue should be addressed at the professional level as well. talk to both brussels and the poles and find at least some way out to settle it, but it will again be the settlement of an acute, acute issue, acute

problem. the chronic one needs to be solved more systematically, and it is much more difficult. yes, ladies, you know, we communicated with various farmers, in their associations, even with farmers, even with farmers who destroyed and their farms were exposed during the occupation, and here i am listening to your arguments and this chain and logic of how we should act, and i remember that the main objections that will be worked out... in the west regarding our agricultural products are three, well, what here we have terrible agricultural holdings and wild oligarchs, farmers sat here, laughed, they say it is not like that, and small farms are also blocked, which are absolutely similar to those of slovaks, poles, and so on. the second argument, that these products are terribly cheap, is that there is dumping and there is a lot of it, and accordingly they can't do anything because they are very strict

green production. that is , harmful fertilizers are not added to them, their products are significantly more expensive in terms of cost, and here i have an absolutely huge question mark, because if you compare the prices of agricultural and agricultural products in supermarkets and small expensive shops in europe, then they will turn out to be one thing is cheaper than the ukrainian one, i’m not talking about that, ukrainian expensive cucumbers are walking ahead and everything and... while how does this happen, if we have everything like this in good conditions, unpaid taxes and dumped, so why is it more expensive here than in europe? well , let's put it this way, we are unlikely to supply a large number of cucumbers and in general products with added value to european markets, our main products, which europeans are afraid of, are large volumes of grain, this is what is called commodities, yes,

that is, they are large. hauls of grain , wheat, corn, oil, and, that is, these are such marketable, let's say, marketable agricultural products, they are not canned cucumbers there, with a brand of some kind, which are unique there and stand on the shelf, that is it's not, the only question is, should we just their main argument, even apart from what you said, is that the grain has to go to... transit through europe, and it stays in europe and is dumped, although this is also not entirely true, because the arguments were given, and when there were discussions with freight carriers, it was shown that the grain goes, most of it goes to the ports, and there are mechanisms to control all this so that the cars do not open and do not remain in europe, if it is not lucky with containers or cars, but again, well, somehow i managed to convince

but you have to sit down and be convinced. there are many fears that spread among farmers, the same simple people who are in europe, and who are also not , you know, not engaged in deep economic problems there, they were told that it is all because of ukrainian farmers, and here they are on strike, and it must be done and outreach work at the level of the government and at the level of farmers, and this should be a joint effort of both ukrainians and europeans, if, for example, the poles do not want to do this, then we... will not reach the poles, well, you understand, we we can not to tell ukrainian stories to polish farmers, they simply won't believe us , and it will be difficult to get through, we agree with you, so a lot needs to be done, but it won't be solved overnight, we have to say goodbye, but we are terribly grateful to you for participating in our program, people deputy yuliya klymenko, about this multi-layered problem, which is getting tighter and tighter and more complicated on the western borders of ukraine. and now for your attention.

we are starting a new weekly project with maria gurska about politics about the world literally watch now. it is about politics about the world. as always, we summarize the events of the week with pawel kowal, the head of the committee on international affairs of the polish sejm and the representative of the polish government on reconstruction issues. we're going to start this conversation with heavy topics. on february 20, as part of a strike, polish farmers will once again block all checkpoints on the border with ukraine. i will ask you directly why the polish authorities allow this, despite the fact that the situation threatens the security of both our countries, primarily poland.
