share data to control the situation. and these associations were absolutely interested in unblocking the border, because everyone was losing, because these people are the export of polish products, in particular dairy products to ukraine, it far exceeds the import of ukrainian rural and agricultural products to poland. protesters began to unblock checkpoints from april 20, already on april 25 it became known that... the polish government approved an order that defines a plan to help polish farmers. poles on april 29 unlocked the last checkpoint. when the polish farmers started their blocking actions on february 9, and they covered six directions, six crossing points, almost at some of them even making it impossible to pass at all, as was the case in the direction of the crossing points of jagodyn and ravoruska, when they did not pass in the direction of poland at all. not a single truck, in other

directions it could be a few trucks per hour, and then we also saw an increase in queues, of course, and when, having unblocked last week, the largest infrastructure direction, this is the direction of the yagodin crossing point, in fact, in recent days we have seen a significant decrease in queues, so while we are happy that the border is unblocked, we understand at the same time that this situation is shaky, given the fact that... that interests farmers may be in the fall, as the prices will not correspond to their products, well, then they can block the border again, because this is the fastest way to knock out additional funds for their products, although the polish protesters have not officially confirmed whether they have reached a compromise with the local by the authorities and whether they will restore the border blockade, but for now ukrainian trucks are moving unimpeded, but if polish farmers feel that the local authorities do not hear them, then they will be able to restore

the border blockade again, and then everything depends on how radical the government will be poland, whether it will be ready to unblock the border quickly by force, or will again look for long ways of understanding. natalya stare pravo, nazar melnyk, espresso tv channel. today in the verdict program with serhii rudenko, a massive strike on energy, on memorial day and... victory over nazism, the newest russian nations once again attacked ukraine from the air, when the air force could close the skies over most of the territory. forces of unmanned systems. the government supported the draft presidential decree on the creation of a new type of troops in the armed forces. why is the government delaying the development of the most promising means of modern warfare for six months? take hostages. and kill

rockets and 20 rockets over ukraine. during the celebrations, on the occasion of the day of remembrance and victory over nazism in after the second world war, president zelensky emphasized that modern russian nazism is threatening. not only to ukraine, but also to the whole world. let's listen to what zelensky said. and we hear how they in moscow threaten exactly the same extermination that they bring to ukraine, exactly the same ruins, to other peoples of the world as well. this is what modern nazism is. this nazism of putin. wants its borders to end nowhere, but still there is and will be a line that the russian nazis cannot cross, this is the bravery of all those who resist evil. mr. volodymyr, why not part of the world

does he see, or pretends not to see, that putin today is hitler yesterday? well, actually, let's start with what... is the definition and the main features of fascism, and the main features of fascism are the cult of personality, militarism, totalitarianism and the perception of hostility to any other opinion, and clearly if we take the historical, examples from history, then intolerance towards liberals. in fact, all this today is inherent in the russian regime completely and entirely, it is another matter that if already, for example, many of the famous historians, for example,

take timothy snyder, who clearly promotes a fascist framework. fascist explanation of the russian ideological basis, then we have to understand that, in principle, compared to what happened in 2014, when putin began his land expansion and wars of aggression, it still happened, another thing that did not happen to the end , and here we have to look at that. what is the connection between the european, and in particular , the western economy, with russian energy resources, and here, i believe, is the main reason why the west believed

mistakenly until 2022, that it is possible to conduct a dialogue with putin in one way or another, this dialogue will lead to something sooner or later, and therefore... all the warnings of ukraine that sounded after 2014, and unfortunately for the western world, with the voice of one crying in the desert, and when today we do not need to prove anything to our partners in the european countries, but there is a need to... buy time in a certain way, supporting ukraine and not finally severing relations with russia by the federation in order that those tu tying resources to trade with russia

could be replaced by other sources, they already understand that the war with russia, if not very... if not, it is not, but there is no, yes, it is. very highly probable, at least if we now see the behavior of france, the same france that is suffering from russian attacks in africa, where pmk wagner poses very strong problems to the french legion and to french interests in general on the african continent, and yet the representative of france came to ... the so-called inauguration of putin and was one of the six european countries that

attended this event, that is, until the event, western partners will not be able to finally break away from russian resources, with which they tied themselves for decades after the collapse of the soviet union, and i think that a frank recognition... the russian regime will not be fascist, there will only be a gradual strengthening of the rhetoric. well, mr. volodymyr, what is the danger of this, i would say, political-economic color blindness, or pretended political-economic color blindness, when part of the european states, well at least six, which were presented at the so-called inauguration of the so-called president of the russian federation, how does this threaten the world, that is, the fact that putin is... or recognized as the president and they do not say that he is a self-proclaimed president, that he is an illegitimate president, that he is a dictator, well

that is, they do not resort to such definitions, how does this threaten the world? well, we see that , for example, the united states of america did not recognize the russian elections as democratic, but recognized putin as the president, that is, they are opening, let's say, not a door, but a door for possible agreements with the dictator, well , they have always behaved like that with dictators, until finally these possibilities were not closed for them, and the west is actually trying to, let's say, permanently lose ties with the russian federation, and here just for the west too importantly. the moment to win this time, since spending, in particular on

the european continent of most nato countries , for defense needs was much less than 2% of gdp, which is indicated in the founding documents of the north atlantic alliance, and now in fact, i know absolutely clearly that both poland, and germany, and france, they... are actively arming themselves, poland is especially active, and therefore in order to be able to meet the enemy, which is inevitable, i still i still believe that they will try to enter into a direct conflict with nato, they need to buy their time, this is a model, in principle, which, if we take ukraine as an analogy, it was the model of the minsk agreements, when a... much better armed and prepared the russian army

could simply crush the ukrainian army, completely destroyed and robbed during yanukovych's time which could not resist effectively at that moment in a direct confrontation, and that is why the minsk agreements were invented, which became by hook and by crook for putin and sometimes in order to win over ukraine and restore the armed forces, but now europe is also trying to do it, another matter, well here the question is whether it will not be too late, i think we will see at the end of the year , where i, in my personal opinion, are the biggest opportunities, the window of opportunity for putin, to test nato for... unity and visibility, well meanwhile, the ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine officially stated that they do not see

any legal grounds for recognizing the russian dictator putin as the president of the russian federation, since the provisions of numerous international documents were violated during the so-called elections in russia, in particular due to the organization of the election process in the occupied territories, i quote the statement ministry of foreign affairs of ukraine. based on the above, as well as taking into account the current warrant of the international criminal court for putin's arrest, ukraine does not see any legal grounds for his confessions. the democratically elected and legitimate president of the russian federation. mr. volodymyr, just a few weeks ago, the european parliament adopted a resolution in which it was noted that... the status of the president under putin is not recognized, it is clear that the resolution of the european parliament, it is of a recommendatory character, has a recommendatory character or a declarative character, according to your opinion, and how many countries in europe, referring to this resolution,

will not recognize putin's authority or his legitimacy, and i ... i think we will see efforts to go between the dots, to until it finally becomes clear that putin is the enemy of europe, that is, a little bit of chamberlainism in europe, and unfortunately , they don't make churchills in this world anymore, so i think that politics will be... as cautious as possible, but i am absolutely sure, that preparations for the deterioration of relations with the russian dictatorship and understanding of all the consequences of the racist regime are now in europe and they will now try, well, let's say so, while there is

an opportunity to counteract the russian... influence in the south on the global south and interfere the creation of strong alliances with countries that were in economic blocs with russia, for example, brics, and therefore, i think, now there will be a kind of preparatory, let's say, diplomatic war, well, it's clear that... if it is on won by a global, so to speak, event, yes, then it will be much easier to create conditions for taking the russian dictator in a pinch, but here we need really very active and very

coordinated work, but at least i see china's efforts. .. wedge, in particular between the united states and the same france, when such diplomacy supports the creation of alternative nato alliances, it does not cause problems in china, and then, this last visit of xi jinping to france, by the way, it was significant, also in the sense that... he did not go to moscow, chose the european tour, and it opens up opportunities to play with china, but china will, i think, try to kill, er, well, make such a - separation, ah, between the key players in the western world, for that, accordingly , already setting its goal, the creation

of a second powerful pole and return. the world to a bipolar option, only where the second pole will no longer be the soviet union, but china. against the background of how we in ukraine are discussing the illegitimacy of putin, and we hear calls from meps that putin's authority should not be recognized. the kremlin is trying to delegitimize president zelenskyi, at least in... over the past month , there have been repeated statements that after may 20, 2024, when five years have passed since the inauguration of president zelenskyi, zelenskyi, they say, will lose his legitimacy for russia as well , zelensky will not be there the current president, well, at least lavrov said so, and representatives of

putin's administration, that's who these arguments about zelensky's illegitimacy are for. will be convincing? i think that the political division that is taking place in ukrainian society instead of unity is there, those who are impatient to get rid of the current government, they will support this idea, but here it is important to understand the legal nature itself. of all that is happening, article, if i am not mistaken, 108 of the constitution, i may be wrong about the numbers, but in... the constitution clearly says that the president of ukraine continues to exercise his powers until

the newly elected president of ukraine takes office. on the other hand, there is the decision of the constitutional court dated may 15, 2014, which, in response to the submission of the 104th people's deputies of ukraine, clearly defined, unequivocally and absolutely, that the president of ukraine is elected for a term of 5 years, and such a moment also creates in ukraine the opportunity is the ground for these discussions, which are spreading and which are actively fueled today, for this it was necessary, of course think. in advance and the president's office actually submitted a submission to the constitutional court regarding the interpretation during

the martial law, but they did not do this, as far as i know, they even said that they were afraid of a negative conclusion, but this is a kind of legal so small... carry out the powers of the president of ukraine what creates all these conversations, but according to the constitution, zelensky will be the newly elected president of ukraine before taking office. then there will be only, i think, discussions about the legitimacy of accepting those or other solutions, here i see the greatest danger that arises from the absence of ness of the constitutional court's interpretation of the powers of the continuation of the president's powers during martial law, however, ukrainian society and

the western world in general, well, in principle, the western world is ready to support and recognize the legitimacy of the president after may 20, because there is no other option to ensure the continuity of power in the current conditions . does not exist. thank you, mr. volodymyr, for the conversation, this was volodymyr ariev, people's deputy of ukraine. friends, i will remind you that we we work live on the tv channel, as well as on our youtube and facebook platforms. for those who are currently watching us live on these platforms, please subscribe to our pages and also take part in our survey. today we ask you about this, do you see direct parallels between putin's and hitler's regimes? yes, no, everything is quite simple on youtube if you have. please leave your own opinion in the comments under this video, if you are watching us on tv, pick up your smartphone or phone and vote if you see these parallels between putin's and hitler's regimes, then 0 800

211 381, no 0800 211 382, ​​all calls to these numbers are free, vote, at the end of the program we will summarize this vote. further, we are in touch with valery romanenko, an aviation expert, a leading government researcher. aviation museum, mr. valery, i congratulate you, thank you for being with us today, yes, thank you for the invitation, good evening, good evening to you too, so ukraine has experienced another massive missile strike, at night russian troops attacked ukraine, with 55 missiles of various types and 21 attack drones, 59 enemy targets were destroyed, this was reported in the air force of the armed forces of ukraine, the purpose of the attack was energy... objects in various regions of ukraine are damaged in in kyiv and the kyiv region, 14 residential buildings were destroyed and damaged, unfortunately, two people were injured.

mr. valery, what are the features of the latest attacks by the russian invaders on the territory of ukraine, how do they differ from what happened before, and most importantly, what they are still capable apart. of these so-called combined strikes, perhaps some new specifics of these strikes or some special missiles or special means of damage to our civil infrastructure appear? well, the russians have moved to a classic modern contactless war, a network-centric contactless war, when the main task of the armed forces, well, the war is going on somewhere on the front line. yes, ah, but the main task is to destroy the infrastructure, management systems, ah, industry, transport system of another state, and the one who implements it first,

will win the war, but the russians are now trying to implement this concept, the concept in practice, for this they use the means intended for this purpose, actually intended for this purpose, long-range missiles, both ballistic and air-ballistic, and cruise missiles, yes, and drones, that’s the only thing , that, the only difference, they forgot that our rear is europe and the united states, apart from everything, yes, apart from the fact that we, and we have something... produced from weapons, but the russians now want to implement their idea of ​​fix , to drive the ukrainians into pechery, that is, they could not do anything with the armed forces, and now, following the example of syria, they want to retaliate against the civilian population, that is, it is clear that they have started strikes not only on power plants, on thermal plants, there on

hydroelectric plants. started, but they also hit the streak, where our gas-e gas storage is located near it, yes, that is, when the gas transportation system is already under the sights, let’s say, yes, or our gas reserves, well, because before that, the russians did not shoot at gas transportation system, because in general its allies in europe, there is hungary, there is slovakia, yes, they receive gas. by ukraine, yes, they received it there in any case, i don’t know how it is now, but now, and as for the new means of destruction, well, to the standard ones that we have been used to for two years, kha-69 missiles have recently been added, i apologize, yes, the kh-69 missiles were added, but in general nothing new is practical, but the only thing that

came out was this... one of the main russian missiles, the kh 101, now the russians use a modern, well, improved version, a version with an enlarged warhead. well, by the way, defense express published photos of this missile shot down today x-101 missiles. its serial number indicates that it was manufactured in the second quarter of the 24th year, that is, it was used literally from the assembly line, in addition, it had a warhead, but the russians talked a lot about this double part and this missile and they talked about the fact that they are modernizing this missile, what are the features of this missile, which means that double this means double the power or double the warhead, but look for...

hitting objects in ukraine, the range of this missile is too long , that is, the range of the russians is there they announced 500-500 km. and if the russians launch from engels, this is the saratov region, or it means there is further south from the caspian sea region, then this range is not only enough for them even to lviv, yes, but there is also some reserve for evasive maneuvers. there are some maneuvers along the route, that is , what did the russians do, they reduced the amount of fuel on board and due to the reduction of the fuel tank, they installed a second combat unit there, the first main combat unit is standard 450 kg, they added another 350 kg, that is, the russians, you see, these are such and such people, you know

, what they can kill there... once was not enough for them, yes, they made bombs there, these winged bombs weighing 500 kg, then they were carried by 1,500 kg, and now they are already preparing for 300 kg, you see, the russians have no brakes, there is no brake, as to how much needs to be destroyed and how, but in the united states there are clearly and in europe, there are clearly high-precision weapons, the house where the terrorists must be destroyed and there is no... the houses nearby must be damaged, the russians must demolish the entire quarter, but in this regard, they work, they doubled the warhead so that in the event of a hit, because this particular missile, it was shot down with a double warhead, in the event of a hit, so that the damage was double, so that everything around was not only damaged, but destroyed, well, such, so to speak, such a character of people.
