maria chernyakhivska will tell more about the plans of ukrainians in poland. olena from zhytomyr now lives in warsaw. the girl recently visited canada and has been planning to move there ever since. canada. elena likes it more than poland, due to the fact that it is a multinational country where mostly immigrants live, the girl is also attracted to the english-speaking environment, however, her final decision was influenced by security factors, but the last one may be, i don’t know, two months in poland are very strong the mood, everywhere, that it is necessary to prepare, that something is so similar to what happened in ukraine before the start of the war, well, we thought that we are already going through it... probably, what is better to pay attention to it attention and go somewhere far away. according to the latest research on the plans of our citizens in poland, such as elena, about 7%. these are ukrainians who plan to go further to the west of europe or to other continents. however,

most ukrainians plan to return home. i only plan to go home. of course , return to ukraine. i am waiting for everything to be fine. i am closer to ukraine. moment of victory, of course. 55% of ukrainians in poland say they will return to ukraine, but among them there are those who plan to go home already in the next six months, a fifth of those who plan to return, the rest will wait for the end of the war. many factors affect this, but above all the economic factor in poland, prices for accommodation have risen significantly, so people are either planning. to return to ukraine, because he has his own home there, er, or come to the countries of western europe, where they can, have the opportunity to earn more, and the costs remain plus or minus the same. even a year ago , 55% of ukrainians willingly declared their desire to live in poland.

currently, the number of people who definitely plan to stay in the neighboring state has decreased by 17%. currently, about 38% of ukrainians are planning. to stay in poland, it is much less than in previous years, and 55% of respondents plan to return to ukraine, after 82% of them plan to return after the end of the war, and some of the respondents plan to return already this spring, summer or autumn. in addition to economic factors, the decision of ukrainians is influenced by the desire to reunite with family, job offers in ukraine and... the nation. the polish market is feeling the outflow of ukrainians labor, so the country's government has already started working on issues of migration policy for the coming years. recently, news also appeared for ukrainians who left for poland after the start of a full-scale war and have the status of temporary protection in ukraine. it will be extended

until september 2025. also, from next year , if desired, ukrainians will be able to receive a temporary residence card for simplification in ukr. the procedure when someone is on pesl-ukr status, who may still disappear for unknown reasons, and the person will not know about it to know at any moment, and when a person already has a map there. temporary residence, and it immediately becomes clear what she should do if she already plans to stay permanently in poland, if people have already lived here for 2 years, have not decided to leave, plan to live further, then it is clear that they need to be somehow more integrated . payments for children to ukrainians will remain, the lawyer says, but probably only to those whose children attend polish educational institutions. maria chernyakhivska, ihor antoniuk, for the tv channel espresso from poland. the news editors talked about the most important things at the moment, then watch

the political club with vitaly portnikov and you will know even more. the politclub program is broadcast on the espresso tv channel. greetings, friends, vitaly portnikov is with you, two hours of analysis of current events this week. our first guest, dmytro snehiriv, a military expert, co-leader of the right right public initiative. congratulations, mr. dmytro. hello, thank you for the invitation. and so, let's talk to you about how the military can really make an impact united states aid to ukraine's defense capability, after all. the decision was already voted on tuesday by the house of representatives, on tuesday i hope the senate will also vote and next week

at least military aid will begin to be at the disposal of the armed forces of ukraine, possibly even from the pentagon's european reserves, how can this really change the situation? well, let's talk about the fact that what will be the first supply of weapons, if we are talking about artillery shells, then accordingly we will be able to get the situation on the front line under... control, let me remind you, currently the ratio of fire damage is 1:6 in favor of the occupiers, accordingly, the advance of the russian occupiers, their certain tactical successes in the donetsk direction, are primarily related to the lack of a sufficient number of artillery shells, so i will not to jump ahead, but it seems to me that artillery shells will be the priority of delivery, respectively, plus air defense systems, and ... accordingly, missiles to ppu systems, taking into account the unprecedented activity

of the russian side in striking energy and critical infrastructure of ukraine. plus, let's talk about the fact that, accordingly, the decision was made for consideration by the president, and it is not for consideration, it actually says that biden should either approve or, accordingly, reject the decision on the transfer to ukraine. attackers, and with an impact range of up to 300 km. in my opinion, mr. vitaly, this is a lightning-quick game of the trump team, they created a so-called fork for the biden administration, when biden, god forbid, refuses, it must be must explain his position not only to the americans, but also to ukrainian and european partners, and most importantly. all theses about trump's pro-russianness, they are actually nullified by this decision, but less with the fact

that if there is a positive decision for ukraine, then we will receive weapons that allow us to keep under fire control both the occupied territories of mainland ukraine and, accordingly, the territories of the occupied crimea, and this significantly strengthens the position of the armed forces of ukraine at the moment of liquidation. chief enemy infrastructure. tell me, how do you characterize the current situation near the sentinel, to what extent is this a tactic of the russian troops, reminiscent of what happened near avdiivka? not only near avdiivka, mr. vitaly, let's talk about the fact that this tactic was practiced by the russians back in 2022. unfortunately, the ukrainian media spread information with reference to the build that this tactic is actually a copy of the actions of the russians under avdia chih. there is the first, and the tactics of the so-called local cauldrons of flank coverage of the positions

of the armed forces of ukraine were worked out by the russians under during the battles for popasno and severodonetsk. then the russian general lapin was awarded the title of hero of the russian federation precisely for conducting these operations. the basis of these operations consists in flanking the positions of the armed forces of ukraine with the aim of operational encirclement of the ukrainian group. and in say yes, the main goal is to take the location of the armed forces of ukraine under direct or fire control, which does not allow allows does not allow to carry out rotations in person. the composition of the evacuation of the wounded and, accordingly, the transport of bc, this is the main task russians, so it is no coincidence that they are currently pressing precisely on the flanks in the chasivyar area, trying to break through to the location. chasivyar is located at a crossroads - it is not only a key defense point of the armed forces of ukraine,

but also a fairly powerful logistics hub. and he will say. in principle, do you think that this american aid will now force the russians to reconsider their plans regarding a possible attack on ukrainian positions, mr. vitali, and regarding american aid, let's talk, i generally have the same impression it happened that the american aid was voted for right after the signing of the law on mobilization, and all these political games in the united states were primarily connected with the fact that the ukrainian parliament was delaying... the artificial issue of voting on the law on mobilization, that is, american partners had a great opportunity to argue to their voters: sorry, the law on mobilization was not voted in ukraine, why we should help the armed forces, and as we can see, literally in a few days, after the adoption and accordingly signing

according to the mobilization law , a package of military-technical assistance is voted on. that is, we can assume, and there are certain reasons for this, that the delay of the law on the provision of military-technical assistance was an element of the military-political pressure of the united states regarding the adoption of the law on mobilization. regarding the plans of the russians, and again, let's refute those theses that are heard in the ukrainian media about the next offensive of the russians at the end. may at the beginning of june, panelist, well, you are not surprised by this thesis, against the background of the messages about the package of military-technical assistance from the united states has already been voted, against the background of the czech president's statements that their country has found not one million, but 15 million shells, and

against the background of the eu countries' statements that the so -called aid program with... ukraine is about the supply of artillery shells to ukraine, and they are talking about 500,000, will start working in the coming weeks, that is, let's put ourselves in the shoes of the russians, the projectile initiative of the czech republic, the joint initiative of the eu countries, will start working by the end of may, and ukraine will receive military and technical assistance from side of the united states states, do you think, against this background, the russians make sense. to start another offensive, if this one has not yet ended, i believe it is said that the russians are just trying, the so -called window of opportunity until the end of may, precisely at the moment of the assault and the times of the yar and the further advance, god forbid, if they succeed in capturing times of yar, to the administrative

borders of the donetsk region, this is in their plans until the end of may, that is, do you think that it is in... donetsk region that this major such offensive will take place? absolutely, mr. vitaly, let's talk about the fact that it is donetsk that will become the main direction of the russian offensive. i explain why: on september 30, 22 , the russian dictator signed a decree on the inclusion of the so-called lpr and dnr within the framework of administrative borders into the russian federation, and accordingly, if currently as of april 20. the armed forces of ukraine control approximately 45, and according to other estimates 50% of the territory of the donetsk region, so this is primarily a personal defeat of the russian dictator, both militarily, politically, and informationally, the failure to fulfill the first stage yes called svo. what do you think, in principle, about all these conversations about the fact that the russians can

attack kharkiv, to what extent are they confirmed by reality now? they are not confirmed, let's talk about... the fact that this is an information and psychological operation, and the fact that it is ipso itself is evidenced by several factors: first, the source of information, if before that, you remember, mr. vitaliy, it comes out on march 22 first the vorstka, that's right, with this message, it finds absolutely no reaction, then the so-called opposition jellyfish, advances the thesis about the possibility of an attack on kharkiv, again there is no reaction, according to the russians. are going to raise rates, and one of the leaders of the russian federation, after all , he is the minister of foreign affairs, is promoting theses regarding the possibility of an offensive. to kharkiv, and it has already started, moreover, let’s talk about the fact that the date of the statement was not chosen by chance, well , look, the 18th, on the eve of the vote

in the house of representatives, that’s right, here we can talk about the fact that two target audiences were chosen, the first american , on which military and political pressure was exerted, that is , russia tried to show the scenario of the further development of events, if the decision is voted accordingly. regarding the provision of aid to ukraine, and accordingly to ukraine in order to force the general staff to redeploy operational reserves, without provoking internal migration processes, namely the exit of the local population from kharkiv, and there are 1 million 300, and the third is to sow panic, chaos and distrust in actions of the central government, and unfortunately, the ukrainian media help in this, but you know, i was surprised that after the first information. media, namely on april 19, on april 20, the second wave went, just at the time of the vote in the house of representatives, and with reference to the so-called institute

for the study of war, which generally assumed that the target could be not only kharkiv, but also , accordingly, a further advance into the ukrainian territory, and this so-called institute is not the first to produce outright disinformation about the plans of the russian command, i... i will remind you that in january , with reference to such an authoritative first source as a russian literary critic, reported that the russians were to advance on kharkiv, and the deadline was january 15. well, the degree of idiocy is simply critical. imagine a literary critic pondering the plans of the general staff of the russian federation. however, the ukrainian media, without even checking what it is about. having bought into the institute, and also the american one, suffered this frank disinformation, but, dear society, pomadak audience, according to information from sources

close to the ukrainian special services, according to the american institute for the study of war, there is a certain anton yuriyovych gerashchenko, well, to call him a citizen of the united states, in my opinion, is enough, well, problematic, you are wrong. the institute for the study of war with the institute of the future, mr. dmytro, no, absolutely no, no, mr. vitaliy, actually it is worth talking about the fact that he takes care of these two institutions, and tell me, mr. dmytro, in your curiosity, how the russians, they were aware that america would approve the aid, because their reaction last night, last night, today, it basically looks like they're surprised, to say the least. well, to put it mildly, panetta, you perfectly understand the mentality of the russians, that's right, you are a professional, and until the last moment, judging by the reaction, the hysterical,

frank reaction, they still hoped that the aid package would be blocked, i once again i emphasize that, in my opinion, lavov's statement was precisely an element of military-political pressure to make a positive decision for ukraine impossible. thank you. do you think that these strikes on the so-called ukrainian radar container, to what extent they can really reduce russia's ability to control over strikes on its territory, because after these attacks they began to say that the red lines were crossed, that this is the line of nuclear security of russia, this is where putin is running amok, how serious is it? no seriously, and thank you for your professionalism, let's remember who? started talking about red lines right? uh, there is no question in your mind that too many red lines are being drawn for us by the western media,

primarily the american media, and just before the vote in the house of representatives, and as for the blow itself, it seriously weakens the position of the russian federation, in general, let's say, the creation of a common anti-aircraft missile shield. of defense, taking into account the fact that they have catastrophic losses with long -range radar detection aircraft a50 a50u, striking this strategic target for the russians, this is a rather serious success of the ukrainian side, but let's talk about the fact that the russians refused to build an early warning station in crimea voronesh m. this is already a crisis, for the first time. recognition of the possibility of the ukrainian side regarding it destruction, accordingly, is a serious enough, well, let's say, a failure of the russian general

anti-missile defense system. i will remind you that in soviet times there was a dnipro morning warning system, and a modern one was supposed to be built in its place, but as we can see, this is the decision to refuse the construction, which is just an indicator of the effectiveness of the defense forces of ukraine. if we talk about further actions, to what extent can drones really solve these problems, which, let's not be honest, russia is trying to solve rockets, in general, as far as possible not to be used. combined strikes on russian territory, well, let's talk, if information has already appeared that the range of damage is already 300 km, not even one and a half, then we can assume that the russians will have serious problems, and the main thing is about the same red lines, and the latest strikes by ukrainian drones, the last two days, oil refineries, the smolensk region and

, accordingly, the kaluda region, are quite... indicative, ukraine once again demonstrated the subjectivity of decision-making regarding the strikes on the oil refining industry of the russian federation, and the oil base that was attacked there was actually used as a staging base, and the corresponding oil was supposed to be processed in the republic of belarus, in order to reduce the tension precisely against the background of the successful ukrainian strikes. and if we talk about the uav strikes themselves, the export of russian oil and petroleum products, gasoline and diesel fuel decreased by 14%. the russian federation was forced to take unprecedented measures to ban the export of gasoline and diesel fuel, and moreover, to increase the import of gasoline from belarus to kazakhstan in order to prevent social upheavals on the territory of

the empire itself. the only thing that surprised me in this story was that the west began to say that these strikes are unacceptable, that they can cause an increase in the price of oil, and i still do not understand the logic of western politicians and journalists who resorted to such warnings, mr. vitali, absolutely it is clear, if we look at who resorted to such warnings, the representative of the pentagon, who spoke with similar, well, let's say statements, let's call it that diplomatically, and from 2000... 17 to 2022, she headed the american-russian fund, which was engaged in investments in the russian economy, that is , it is said that a person, in fact, using her official position, is currently a representative of the pentagon , tried to protect american investments in the russian economy, well, it is not stupid, why the ukrainian political leadership and, accordingly

, the ministry of foreign affairs did not make relevant statements for... it is not clear to me, especially, imagine that the office of this organization was in general in 2015 moscow. paradox? no, not a paradox. thank you, mr. dmytro, dmytro snegerov, a military expert, co-leader of the public initiative on the law of the case, we were in touch on this broadcast, and now we will talk about the near east with mykhailo yakuboovych, an orientalist, candidate of historical sciences, a researcher at the oriental studies department of the freiburg university, congratulations. mr. mykhailo, good evening, well, 8 days ago there was an attack by iran on israel, which was essentially a fiasco, thanks to the efforts of the israeli air defense forces and the air defense forces of israel's allies, then was very careful, so to speak, israel's strike on iran, is it possible to draw any conclusions? it is possible, as we can see, the parties

did not go beyond certain limits. proxies, proxies and iranian proxies and israeli proxies were actively involved, in particular in the territory of northern iraq, i.e. kurdistan, well , after exchanging these blows, both sides showed that, in principle, they can continue to coexist in the regime in which they have already coexisted for many years, that is, there are certain threats to words, but some such actions. there are no potential ones, and now, in fact, the future hostilities have moved to the territory of syria and iraq, in particular, israel has already struck some blows against shiite groups in iran, and now there is a question from the dutch heights of threats to syria, to the assad regime specifically, and it also pushed peace in gaza for... for a long time because...
