preventive measures will be chosen in moscow today for the attackers at the krokus shopping center, inform the public there. in the near future, the men will be brought to the basman court. a fence has been erected around the building since the morning, the police are evacuating cars parked nearby. also, a canine specialist with a dog examined the premises of the court and the surrounding area. earlier, a video of the first minutes of the attack, filmed by the attackers, appeared online. the footage confirms that islamic state fighters are involved in the incident. according to the latest data, 133 russians died in the shooting in crocus. more 154 were injured. polish farmers continue to completely block two checkpoints on the border with ukraine. we are talking about ravoruskyi and yagodin - said andriy temchenko, the spokesman of the state border service. in total

, half a thousand trucks are currently waiting in the queues. and in march alone, ukraine may lose uah 6.5 billion in customs revenue. due to the blocking of the border by polish demonstrators, despite the conflict with our neighbors, the shelves of our stores are overflowing with polish goods. what products from poland are in the assortment of supermarkets and whether you want them are the people of bilotserki buying? my colleague lyubov gerashchenko inspected. sweets, tea, coffee and many other products that are brought from poland to ukraine. belotserki supermarkets are no exception, because the variety of products... is simply amazing, so let's check how many imports we will find on the shelves. the first row that caught our eye is the sweets department. here you can find candies or chocolate made directly in poland. we look for the manufacturer on the box of goodies, and here

he is, the city of krakow. the same situation with canning, stew and other groceries that are in demand. here's an adjunct, a bean, and here we see, it's also in... made in poland. we did not find any polish products among dairy products, such as sour milk cheese, milk and yogurts, instead there is a wide selection of hard local cheeses, sausages and sausages are included in this list. several types of tea are also imported from poland. here, for example, we found such a species, and also such a grass one. the total basket turned out to be small, but... this is only one of the chain markets, so in order to compare, we decided to visit the local stores of european goods, as salesman karina tells us, the products on the shelves are 50/50, foreign and ukrainian, but the percentage of polish and spanish products significantly prevails: foreign coffee, sausages

for the new year, foreign everyday products, that is, there is no such thing here , to mostly take only this, take everything, we carry everything. chocolate, for example, spanish, very much there without sugar, such, you know, healthy chocolates, if poland is a lot of cheeses, a lot of cheeses, ketchups, mayonnaise, and here, as he claims economist lidia horoshkova, ukraine has long been carrying out a mutually beneficial exchange of goods, so both countries remained in the plus, and the equipment was mainly bought in poland, ukraine could do without their goods, because most of the products are similar to each other today. today, the 24th year , the tougher requirements for the so-called green course in rural agricultural production, these eu requirements for restrictions on the use of fertilizers, chemical elements to improve the situation with

agricultural production volumes, that is, these restrictions, they also became not very convenient for the poles, including in general, in ukraine, except for products. actively import cosmetics, clothes and chemicals, due to the blocking of the border, both products and other goods were really delayed, but now everything has stabilized, - say sellers, and experts emphasize that there is no need to expect a shortage of goods, because ukrainian manufacturers provide the country with almost everything necessary, belarusians react to the import bill in their own way, whether you buy polish goods or you choose more ukrainian, ukrainian, and why exactly, well, poland is misbehaving there ? with us now? i don’t buy, i don’t buy in principle, i believe that there should be an adequate attitude towards us, er , let’s say, not very warm, that’s why i don’t buy polish goods and i try in general . i also told her woman that we shouldn’t be in such

relations as we should have with the poles, unfortunately. lyubov gerashchenko, oleksandr kuga, espresso, bila tserkva. that was the morning. country, more, read more on our website espresso.tv, also on our social networks, join in, put your favorites, this is the end of the issue, and i'll see you tomorrow, stay tuned. the saturday political club program on the espresso tv channel, khrystyna yatskiv, vitaly portnikov and two hours of selected analytics are on the air, especially since we have a lot to talk about, an extremely fruitful week for events. the situation with shelling and the change in the tactics of the russian federation, of course the events in

the russian federation in the moscow region, the situation at the front, well, in the international arena, all this will be the focus of our attention, we are glad to welcome to the first guest, oleksiy mylnyk, military expert, co-director of foreign policy and international security programs of the smart center, we are in touch, welcome, mr. oleksiy, i congratulate you, well, let's start with the terrorist attack in kroku city center, you in general. understand what it actually was and how it will be used by the russian authorities, because many rightly point out that a terrorist attack in russia is not measured by the number of victims during the terrorist attack, but by the number of victims after the terrorist attack, by the way it is used by creams, i think that you described the situation perfectly, eh at the moment, it is more or less clear to me in principle what happened uh... the only thing is that now, let's say, it is unclear to what extent russia,

the kremlin, putin personally, will be able to return this as a justification for their next steps to intensify repression inside russia itself, and, of course , the question that we are most concerned about is how much our western partners, the world community in general. tend to believe this completely idiotic version about the country's integrity, so let's say its reasons are less clear, its intentions are clear, the only thing that needs to be observed now is what will be done after this, uh, well, mr. oleksiy, we understand that it is not so important what eh... countries, other countries will say about what happened, but how will the russian

citizens actually react to all this, can this incident happen, catalyst of mobilization processes in the russian federation, because a lot is being said about it now, especially after the so-called elections in russia? in a normal society, this, well , at least turned into a political crisis for the government, for the special services, more or less. there should be, well, there should be a whole, a whole series of such high-profile dismissals, but we are talking about what can happen or should happen in a normal society. if we are talking about russia, the first problem is that we have very limited opportunities, er, to have or receive objective information freely. i spent some time looking at their social networks, and i was impressed. even when a logical question is raised about this window on the border with ukraine, but who was supposed

to provide the window from the russian side, they are immediately attacked, i.e. even these absolutely obvious things, sound arguments are not are perceived, but less so, in my opinion, i also mustered up the strength to watch putin's address, he looked like hell. somewhat frightened and not very convincing, if this is followed by the first thing that the russians are most afraid of, this is another wave of such undisguised mobilization, then i think that grain by grain there really can be certain such eh, well, not that explosions, but the manifestations are not satisfied, but tell me, mr. oleksiy, how do you understand this situation that... putin did not just ignore the warnings of the western special services, which were very loud,

it is obvious that there were not only public warnings, it is obvious that the american and british special services informed their russian colleagues through closed channels that still exist between them, about my possible danger, why is it still public a few days after this terrorist attack on the college federal security service of the russian federation? denied the danger and said that this was just an attempt to sow panic and fear among russians, that everything is fine with us, there will be barbecues in may, and in november where... the october socialist revolution, what is it all about with kebabs, well, with kebabs in our country, which are also unpleasant by their own association, uh, uh, well, let's say it like this, again, if we, if we were talking about a normal country, about a normal state, then we could to be public

rhetoric, let's say, to lull vigilance there, or to give a signal, a false signal. to put the police, down to the traffic police officers, on enhanced service mode, but this is what we are saying again about how normal should work, but now in this situation that happened, we can express hypotheses, maybe he gave team, but... if it really wasn't organized, i mean it wasn't just that they were hired there, whether they were tajiks or whoever, but let's say they were not prevented from doing it in any way somewhere, then that explains a lot, if the fsb was not involved, then now there will be a huge internal struggle over the idea, because someone allowed it, and logical questions

about why it was allowed will be raised, even if not publicly. there are spaces, then all the same somewhere this question will hang in the air, that is why, i say, we, we, in the coming days, weeks, we will see what consequences it will have, as you rightly said, where and how many victims there will be, well, this week ukraine has experienced two extremely massive shelling, this, if you do not count the regular shelling of certain territories and regions, the first. .. was focused on the ukrainian capital in the context of its goals, the second shelling took place literally the next night, also massive, maximally combined and the largest of all large-scale invasions specifically in terms of energy. mr. oleksiy, do you already have certain conclusions, why? is the russian federation again resorting to the tactics

of destroying our energy system? was last winter supposed to demonstrate it? that it doesn't quite work, at least, eh, why exactly energy, in principle, from a military point of view, it is really one of those pain points that can cause catastrophic consequences, both for the economy of the state, and can also cause internal destabilization in the state, if not in time... there will be no elimination of the interruptions from the in the strategy of conducting military operations , it is used, the americans at the time, when they conducted desert storm, they also had one of the priority goals, it was the power system,

they acted, which is true in a completely different way, that is, if it can be said in the conditions of war, but anyway it's... according to the rules, it was more or less settled, why did russia resort to this now, it seems to me that after all, if last time it was tied to the winter season, the hope that in the complex of blows and zema, such a cumulative effect is considered, then on today, most of all, it is tied to the plans... probably the russian plans for the spring-summer campaign, that is, for the future counteroffensive, well, and one more point, which, apparently, many people paid attention to, that a blow was struck at her, as a matter of fact , on one of the most powerful power plants in the zaporizhzhia region, which is

russian, which the russians have already included their own new territories there and... as far as i'm concerned, this is a kind of public signal to the recognition that this power plant, i.e. they no longer see the option of what this is the power plant will one day become edible, but tell me, in principle, to what extent it can be considered that russia is ready to take such a path of creating new environmental threats in the future, if it sees that it has no opportunity to seize the territory that was planned before... because there, that is, there is a permanent pre-accident regime , it is certain that russia does not stand in the way, and

if we consider there, well, when these red lines are analyzed there every time, that is, this is probably the penultimate step before putin can dare to use tactical of nuclear weapons, that is, they, well, it absolutely... does not deter, that is, we saw it from our own experience when the kakhovskaya dam was blown up. ugh. please tell me, mr. oleksiy, just recently the minister of defense of great britain grand shabs and the commander of the british army, tony radikin, visited ukraine. well, there is actually an opinion that the british are hinting to ukraine that it is necessary to concentrate on one of the directions, they advise to do it precisely in the south and to cook there. offensive operations, if we take the experience of 2023, then many of military analysts say that it was the undermining of the kakhovskaya hessian that greatly adjusted and not in

the best direction for us the plans of our military leadership for a counteroffensive, this is something that, you know, it was simply impossible not to reckon with, can we say that the russians are still trying to resort to something like that, to disrupt any of our prospects in the south, well... it is absolutely clear, although, let's say, it is also obvious that ukraine does not currently have the capacity to organize a large-scale offensive campaign in the near future, but even at the same time, the russians will do everything possible so that there are no local counterattacks in order to undermine ukraine's defense capabilities in general, well, actually speaking, nothing, nothing new. if we talk about or try to guess somewhere, what our partners can talk about, what advice our partners can talk about, well, of course

, every time there is some kind of exchange of opinions, but i would not consider it as something, like the russians, it is always a command for us there they give some or instructions, that is, it is most likely an exchange of ideas. it is possible somewhere, let's say friendly advice, and it’s not just friendly advice, but it’s advice that is based on the information that is possible, or they think that it is not fully appreciated by the ukrainian leadership, or some data that is not fully known to the ukrainian leadership, that is, it can hardly be considered as interference, because the same advice, when you give advice, be it... on a personal level or on some business level, it's always you taking part of the responsibility, but tell me how you basically evaluate the effectiveness of these actions c

to the russian border and strikes on objects in belgorod, to what extent do they really give ukraine some, relatively speaking, additional value for this war? and what changes? it is difficult, difficult to give unequivocal assessments without understanding the overall strategic plan. because it is a rather risky operation, it is an expensive operation, that is, it is resources, human resources, resources, material resources and risks of image losses, because the death of civilians, shelling of belgorod and these front-line or border settlements, even with because they are destroyed mainly russian aviation, if we are talking about the border points... the picture is still going to the foreign media, that is, it is quite a high risk for ukraine, so that ukraine is not

put, let's say, on a par with russia , that they are the same, but i will repeat once again, and no, without knowing the general strategic plan, one should be very careful in assessing the expediency of such operations, here, but at least if... look at the discussions there , which take place in belgorod itself or in the belgorod region, well, it definitely has an effect, because there are few people there who believe and ask, believe in the goals of special operations, ask absolutely logical questions, that it is possible to protect the people there, and to protect the people of belgium, yes, mr. oleksiy , very briefly to the end, what do you think? that the operations of the rdk, the legion of freedom of russia, the sivir battalion and the chekerian volunteers in belgorod region, in particular, could really disrupt the russian offensive

in kupyan region? well, here i can just tell you a generalized estimate, which is what i am trying to find an answer to this question myself, but most experts are inclined to believe that even the forces that the russians have withdrawn from other areas are not such large-scale forces that could affect well that is, if it is there 10 - 20,000 were sent, then against the background of 100 extra... thousands in the kupyan direction, it is unlikely , let's say, the number that could disrupt the plans of the russian team, but in any case, it still has a rather powerful effect, both militarily, in military terms, and in both psychologically and politically. thank you, thank you, mr. oleksiy, oleksiy melnyk, co-director of foreign policy and international security programs of the center of intelligent communication, we are going to break for a few minutes now, but
