a moment of news, good evening, we are from ukraine, by the way, i want to say that a big thank you to our tv viewers, that the espresso tv channel has been the leader among informational tv channels in terms of views for a very long time, for many, many months, you watch, you trust, and so on we are trying to justify your trust as best we can due to the circumstances in which we now live and work, all populated... points have joined the forced evacuation in donetsk region, the corresponding decision was made by the coordination headquarters in connection with the increase the intensity of russian shelling. this was reported by the head of the region, vadym filashkin. we are talking about the city of leman, the villages of lylo-lypove, nove, karlivka, stavky, progress and the village of zorya. the evacuation will be carried out within 60 days. priority will be given to families with children or other legal guardians. verkhovna rada. of the country allowed

the state special forces to purchase drones, electronic warfare systems and ammunition for use with drones for defense purposes, the law also allows the state special forces to organize training for drone operators, and also test and verify the combat capabilities of unmanned systems. the main thing in this law is changing maneuverability and speed. procurement of those systems that are just emerging innovative fast, they are brought, they are imported, they are produced by manufacturers, and when they are produced or brought, the codification system of the ministry of defense, well, it is quite bureaucratic, that is why we gave the dszzi the opportunity, and they are actually at the beginning wars were engaged in this, only without a law, we made it possible to codify faster through the brai system and through appropriate testing, and... these drones,

guys, and we also gave them the opportunity to conduct training, we left everything else to the ministry of defense, and the main thing is that these actions are only for the period of martial law. one of the biggest crimes of the russians, a year ago, the occupiers blew up the kakhovka hydroelectric plant. it was then that ukraine launched the long-awaited counteroffensive in the south of the country as a result of the explosion, the water from dambi destroyed everything in its path, including destroying residential buildings and structures. industrial and commercial facilities affected tens of thousands of people, as well hundreds of thousands of ungulates and predatory animals, birds, amphibians, and fish died, and now trees and bushes grow on the site of the former kakhovskaya hess, on the site of this forest, which behind my back used to be the so-called kakhovsky sea, now we see that here the forest is as high as ... higher

than 3 m. well, there is also a project to rebuild or build a new kakhovka hydroelectric power station, we will wait, we hope, and it will be done, now experts are working on it, and the verkhovna rada has ratified an agreement with the european union, so ukraine will be able to get 50 billion euro of aid for the introduction of reforms. this was announced by the prime minister of ukraine, denys shmehal. the project is designed for quadruple support, which will help. instead of microphones, they took dork weapons to defend the country, on the occasion of a professional holiday in lviv, journalists were awarded with awards from the verkhovna rada of ukraine, regional military administrations and the national union of journalists of ukraine. certificates of honor were awarded to press officers, military... correspondents and

defenders who left their jobs in the media sphere for war we will remind you that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, russia has killed more than 90 journalists, and in the 91st, another 29 media workers are still in enemy captivity. anatoly zhupyna, the editor of the kherson newspaper, which is published, friends, you understand, twice this year, and which is... sent to the left bank ukraine, to the occupied territories, we help to do all this, receives an award today. certificates were received by the guys who came to our brigade precisely as employees of the press service, public relations service, who work to cover events that occur in our brigade, in the area of ​​responsibility of our brigade. today i was reminded of something from my past life, to be honest, it is difficult for me to associate myself with my work, which i have.

it took more than half of my actual conscious life, and now we have a plot for your attention. the war in ukraine, security and the state of democracy in europe and the world, elections in poland and the usa, the main topics around which the discussion took place at the 10th international european forum in gdansk, poland. politicians, political scientists, historians, journalists, public figures from european countries and ukraine. our correspondent maria chernyakhivska will talk about the results of the event. europe with a view to the future, that is the name of the forum held in the center of solidarity. in gdansk. the participants discussed ukrainian-polish relations and the main question: do the countries' values ​​and interests remain common. they also talked about the prospects for the expansion of the european union and how the war in ukraine affects this process. i am convinced that we will start at the end of june negotiations on ukraine's full membership in

the european union. these negotiations will not be successful immediately, but after a certain period of time. and for us there is a question, what is this period of time. all of us would like it to be small. period of time for this to be completed quickly, but we understand that these will be very difficult negotiations, especially when we are talking about agriculture and in particular our relationship with poland. anti-ukrainian forces are doing everything possible to ensure that ukraine does not have support during its accession to the eu, the participants of the forum with of ukraine. the forum is taking place literally on the eve of the elections to the european parliament, we understand that the forces are authoritarian and anti-european, they want to increase their power. the state of the session in the european parliament, they want to form an agenda, a new agenda, this was voiced most clearly by hungarian prime minister orbán, who said we are for peace, that is, he forgot to add that he is for russian peace, peace is peace, and not for peace in europe, actually.

anti-european and authoritarian forces want to increase their influence, and this is a challenge not only for of ukraine, but also for the whole of europe - experts say. against this background, one of the... discussions was on the topic of modern global alliances, it was about whether countries have created pro-democratic alliances and what are the signs of anti-democratic ones, both european politicians and analysts, experts are now very seriously paying attention to the problems of populism in politics and in public life, and to the challenges brought by new modern information technologies, the internet, social networks, that is, those things that we may not always delve into , but which already today have... a huge influence, obviously the elections in the united states of america, the trump effect, the problems of the unity of the european union, the case of hungary and so on. we do not know how the united states will support us, i hope that everything will be fine, that the support will continue, but the support of the countries of the european union and the leadership of poland in this

support is extremely important for us, and in fact, our future is connected with this . as a result, a public discussion took place at the forum, in which polish figures and politicians of various levels took part. in particular, a deputy danuta hibner of the european parliament, who believes that polish mps in the eu should support ukraine on the way to membership, and europe should demonstrate unity. it is very important that we quickly show putin in the context of ukraine, as well as moldova, what is our political order in europe? he should see it specifically where ukraine is and where russia is. we have to take care of it. experts also spoke about... the elections to the european parliament, which will be held in poland this sunday, and about poland's leadership in the eu. when we dream of ukraine's membership in the european union, of course, we dream and believe that poland will support us, so the victory of the democratic forces at this stage is very important for us. on

the other hand, the european union is currently building a new defense architecture and there will be a new defense commissioner. perhaps it will be a pole, it is also very important, from these you. maria chernyakhivska ihor antonyuk for a tv channel from poland. well, we continue the great ater and now it's time to talk about the world, about ukraine, what he said, what he did most importantly, yuri fizer, most importantly collected for us. good evening, yuri, please. good evening. to you vasyl, good evening to everyone who joined us at this time. so, about this. china is again calling for peace talks, and it is not clear which ones. elections to the european parliament have started in the eu, and trump is once again threatening the third world war. my name is yuriy fizar, this is

world about ukraine, and i'm starting in a moment. peace talks in switzerland. it will not happen, we are still far from peace, there will only be a preparatory process, german chancellor olaf scholz said this today during a speech in the bundestag. according to him, while the leadership of russia still believes that it will be able to achieve its goals on the battlefield, that is why he called for all efforts to help us repel the aggressive russian onslaught and defend ourselves, and it is for this, the bundeschancellor says, that he decided to allow the use of german weapons to strike targets on russian territory, and at the same time olaf scholz added, quote: according to international law, ukraine has the right to defend itself. from attacks on its territory, its cities and its citizens.

china supports any effort that contribute to the peaceful resolution of the crisis, such as the crisis in ukraine. this was stated by the official representative of the ministry of foreign affairs of china, mao ning, during the briefing. and then the most interesting thing, mrs. mao added that the leadership of the people's republic of china will continue to speak. for holding peace talks and at the same time will maintain contacts with all interested parties, making the necessary efforts for a political settlement, and here again the crisis. well, let me respond in two words to this. well, first of all, maonin knows very well that it is not the crisis, not the ukrainian crisis, is... a crisis, except in the head of putin, as well as the majority, and ultimately all russians, even those who

shout abroad that they are against the war, well, secondly, why well then they, i mean the chinese, are not going to switzerland and even though i still have some very skepticism about what will happen in less than 10 days in burgenstock, switzerland, still there leaders of countries will meet who will try at least somehow to... help us to withstand this russian aggression against us, yes, but with regard to skepticism, because at least what this peace summit started with, when it was based on the ukrainian 10-point peace plan, now a lot has changed there, and the way to peace, this summit in switzerland, i don’t know, but at least it’s a step for sure, so why don’t the chinese go, if they are for this peace, but the leadership of hungary... finally, it was decided whether they would go to switzerland , and if they go, who

will represent them there? we will be represented at levels of the ministry of foreign affairs and will represent budapest. such a statement was made by the minister of foreign affairs of hungary, peter siyartu, on the sidelines of the so-called st. petersburg international economic forum. according to him , official budapest participates in any events where peace is on the agenda. therefore, to burg'. they decided to go to shtok, but at the same time , minister sijarto said that it was a pity that russia was not invited to switzerland. well, today a very important four-day event for all of us began in the european union. there elections to the european parliament, which are of great importance, have started. during four days from may 6 to 9, citizens of eu member states voted. their representatives to the european parliament. only the netherlands is voting today, polling stations

will open tomorrow in ireland and the czech republic, italy, latvia, malta, slovakia will vote on june 8, and the rest of the countries will elect their representatives on sunday, june 9. why is it important to us, what are the predictions and much more. vasyl and i will talk about this with dmytro shkurk, ukrinform correspondent in brussels. mr. dmitry, i congratulate you. welcome to the studio, glory to ukraine, thank you for joining us today. kudos to the heroes, let's hope that everything will be alright. mr. dmitry, please tell me, well, let's start by explaining to our viewers who is currently being elected in each individual country of the european union? well, look, representatives of the leading political forces in each country take part in the elections, they can be any political forces, they can be, for example, social democrats. er, christian democrats, rightists, leftists, centrists, greens,

even representatives of right-wing and left-wing groups. the main thing is that these elections to the european parliament are now causing quite high public interest in practically all the countries of the european union, because in conditions where, let's say, the foreign policy circumstances have significantly worsened, european citizens feel that... it is the european union and the european institutions that are important, such as, for example, the european parliament, capable, well, first of all, to protect their interests, and secondly, to ensure... the influence of europe in solving some global affairs, but at the same time it is worth noting that, for example, the rise in popularity of right-wing forces is, in particular, connected with a certain regionalization, let's say, of the interests of europeans, when they, of course, remember international problems, but at the same time for them social

issues, issues of their everyday... life, for example, those related to migration processes, migration crises, they are very significant and affect their pre-election mood, thus the representation is very broad, we remember that recently, for example, the president of the european council charles also intended to participate in the elections and for the time being to suspend even... the performance of his duties as president of the european council, but after that, he changed his mind and will perform his duties until the end of his term. studio. mr. dmytro, from what you said, there is a chance, the possibility that many eurosceptics and populists may enter the european parliament this year. well, if

the election ends with such a result, then how can this result change, or at least affect ukrainian -ukrainian-eu loans, especially, in particular, in the issue of supporting ukraine during the war? well, let's talk about the right-wing forces first, really, let's say this, right-wing sentiments have increased in the european union, and we have seen this also from the results of the elections, for example in the same netherlands, and in italy, a right-wing government under the leadership of miloni came to power. and strictly speaking, this is a pan-european trend that we have to reckon with, we have also seen the strengthening of right-wing positions in france, where a political force under the leadership of marie le pen is confidently advancing, but i would not, let's say, dramatize the general situation, that the next parliament will

consist exclusively of right-wing forces, they. will be represented, they will strengthen their representation, but this representation will not be, let's say, critical, there is such, you know, monitoring, previous, which every day updates the data, what would be the composition of the parliament, if the elections were held today, well speaking , they have already started, but we will not have the final conclusions until the evening of the 9th june, but for now. well, for example, if as of today, let's say, the right-wing forces in the european parliament could gain about 144 seats in the european parliament, this is out of 720 possible, in fact, it is a force that cannot be ignored, but it must be

taken into account that the right forces, they are not alone in the european parliament, the leading... party that retains its leadership remains the european people's party, a center-right party, which, as a matter of fact, has the largest representation in regulatory bodies, including the european commission and others executive bodies of the european union, to which it should be added that the influential party of the european socialists and democrats is included in the second place. and others, well, for example, the greens, the left, who traditionally, perhaps, do not always agree with each other, but, let's say, none, none of them questioned the expediency of the existence of the european union and such an institution as the european union. if definitely

questions anything that is european and directed like that. or rather , russia is against the dictatorship of putin, and the attitude of the citizens of the countries of the european union before russia's war against ukraine, and to what extent can this affect the war? well, look, the attitude, euroscepticism, let's say, it is a habit not only of the russian federation, there are quite a lot, quite a lot of right-wing radical forces who... and also now go to the european parliament and they take openly anti-european positions and sometimes even their position completely coincides. with the russian side, but well, we can mention, well, for example, such forces as an alternative for germany, they are according to the forecast

can get 16 seats in the new composition of the european parliament, well, i don't know to what extent hungarian filias can be attributed to the right-wing forces, but they also have 10 seats, you know, hungary's rather specific position regarding europe and... and ukraine , in particular, the french reconquest, the polish confederation, the bulgarian revival, and by the way, to all the parties that i have just listed, the current president of the european commission, ursula fondern, who is now the leading candidate, the so-called spitzen-candidate of the european people's the party, as we have already discussed with you, is one of the most influential political forces now, in these elections, it absolutely denied any cooperation with these ultra-radical,

we can say so, fascist, party forces, which, unfortunately, will also represented in the european parliament, but we can already say that it will be, they will occupy absolutely marginal positions in this parliament and will not have a significant influence, by the way. if we talk about the right camp, well , for example, the same political force, the prime minister of italian meloni, she has always advocated support for ukraine and against russian aggression, i.e. the right-wing alignment of parties is not yet a verdict, by the way, with this party in particular, but the president of the european commission and i hope so in the future as well. commission, she will also head it, although this is not yet guaranteed and will be decided by the results of the elections, but she is ready to cooperate with them and seek some kind

of understanding. mr. dmytro, we are running out of time, but please tell me, is it possible somehow, well, she rather influenced it, to what extent the course of the elections, their result, rather, can be influenced by russian propaganda, and russian propaganda is... very indirect, especially since the european union is conducting targeted work to curb any, let's say, attempts to influence on consciousness, or to carry out information manipulations against the european audience, against european voters, this gives its own reasons, there are acts of the so-called digital services, which provide for a certain code of conduct, including for... them social platforms, on which, actually speaking, the main flow of such, let's say, misinformation and attempts at information manipulation, but in general i

can say that the level of support among the citizens of the european union for ukraine remains, even despite the fact that we are already in the third year of a bloody and brutal war , which also, let's say, imposed certain economic and social. on citizens of the european union, the level of support of europeans for ukraine's struggle remains very high, well, actually speaking, about 80% are in favor of humanitarian aid, another 60% support, for example, the purchase by the european union and the supply of weapons to ukraine, even the same, say, hungary, which is now deliberately blocking. the provision of military aid to ukraine within the framework of the european peace fund, the so-called, which is a huge amount that exceeds 6 billion euros at the moment,

even in this country, 45%, at least of the population, they support, let's say, the provision of military aid to ukraine, well, mr. dmitry, thank you for participating in the program, thank you for the clarification, and it is important for us, and it was dmitry. shurko, ukrinform correspondent from brussels. well, vladimir putin is talking about nuclear weapons, he is doing so because ukraine is now talking about striking russia, and the causal president of the united states of america , joe biden, does not know how to react to this. the president, the 45th president of the united states, donald trump, said this on the air of the american television channel fox news, and therefore, he added, all this could lead to the third world war. of course. according to the version of the 45th owner of the white house, who has a good chance of settling in the main american estate for four years, of course there is joe biden, but

trump himself once again emphasized that he himself... he, here is his quote: will settle the situation around ukraine and settle it quickly, this would never have happened if he was the president, well true, whether he will be the president has a chance, but will it be because of the criminal case in which he lost, and three more that are not yet, well, the trial has already begun, but there are no verdicts yet. well, for today i have everything, in the section world about ukraine, everything is only for today, tomorrow there will be more and more will be in our further broadcast, so don't... switch. events, events that are happening right now and affect our lives. of course, the news feed reports on them. however, it was not enough to know what was happening. it is necessary to understand. antin borkovskii and invited experts soberly assess the events, analyze them, modeling our future. every saturday at 1:10 p.m. with a repeat in...

studio, an evening with anton borkovsky at espresso. hello, how are you there? it's normal, slowly. so we got nine new tanks, guess what? now turn on the video link, i'll give you a tour. and, come, we'll stay here for another two weeks, i 'll give you a ride. and not only on a tank. yes, here near the station in grozivka. say you're going to a student, you'll be let through, yes, student, that's my call sign, right here near the stations, people from grohivka, say you're going to a student, you 'll be let through, nine tavka, grohivka, here, student, student, today you do not observe

information security? iskanders will visit you tomorrow, the enemy hears, watch. hello, this is the freedom of the mornings. information project of radio liberty. top guests every day. this is the shipping district of kherson. turn on live. we are somewhere in the vicinity of bakhmut. we tell the main thing. on weekdays at 9:00. good evening. we are from ukraine. well, i hope you are with us. it's a big ether, it's ongoing, and it's time to talk about money at war.

oleksandr morchyvka is next to me. oleksandr, you have a word, good evening. good evening, greetings to the audience, difficult news for the ukrainian economy, there are no funds in the budget, international aid is not in a hurry, ukrainians are also being prepared for the increase in the price of not only electricity, but also gas, about this in detail in a moment. i am alexander morshchevka, congratulations, this is a column about money, during the war i start with an important number. ukraine's international reserves almost collapsed in may. by 8%, this is a large indicator, currently they amounted to 39 billion dollars, reported to the national bank. such a sharp reduction is explained by the fact that last month there was practically no foreign financial aid, only $20 million came from the world bank and a little more than $123 million from the placement of foreign currency bonds, but more was given to service external debt from the reserves of the nbu.

also, to keep the hryvnia. the regulator sold currency from reserves at the interbank, however , the nbu also assures that this is a temporary phenomenon, they promise to increase the amount of gold and currency reserves, for example, new tranches from the international monetary fund and the european union are expected this month. well, as we can see, not only the gold and currency reserve of ukraine is shrinking, but the state budget of our country is shrinking. the income of the country's main budget has been decreasing for the fourth month in a row. reported about it. in the ministry of finance. in general, according to the results of may, a little more than uah 229 billion. these are mostly taxes and fees. let me remind you that the head of the department, serhii marchenko, said that in order to cover current expenses, they have recently been transferring money from other months of the year in order to pay for everything.
