us and i sincerely wish you this, i am glad that you were with us, please stay with espresso, as always we will inform you about the most relevant events in ukraine, europe and the world, the more you understand that this is a challenge for journalists, when we speak literally against the background of such dramatic events, which are currently happening before our eyes in europe, in france. thank you, i wish you victory and peace, good luck. this is about politics, about the world, maria gurska, journalist of the espresso tv channel and eu sisters. pavel koval, chairman of the council on issues of cooperation with ukraine and chairman of the committee on foreign affairs of the polish seimas. congratulations. good day. today we will start with this: a series of influential changes in the pairing. the states

of america, including the new york times, the new yorker and the economist, have openly reported that they expect joe biden to withdraw from the election race after last week's debate, which was rated as a failure. at the same time, biden himself and the leaders of the democratic party emphasize that the main thing is not age, but the truth. joe biden assured that he does not refuse to participate in the elections. how are you evaluate this debate and what will happen next with the presidential company in the usa. well, the health of the presidential candidate plays a key role here. without a doubt, today the united states is in a special moment, and everyone has the right to recognize that it is really a big, strong country, a superpower, where there are many activists, political figures, so what. the two candidates we see are at a respectable age, and that respectable age is sure to have a powerful effect on this campaign. it will definitely take a lot of effort from biden to launch this campaign. there is a clear difference between

the way it looked during the last campaign four years ago and now, but formally, what can i say? speaking of the respectable age factor, there is nothing surprising here, it should be with these candidates, but i would also like to point out one more thing: donald trump's statements were also like this, especially when he talked about economic issues. sometimes there was no exact connection between what he said. but since he spoke very loudly and confidently, many did not notice it. he spoke loudly, he moved, introduced some aggressive topics like golf and so on. in general, it was a conversation, the nature of which was also determined by the age of the candidates, the rest, the formal questions of the democratic party, will the democratic party decide to find some? way

to change the candidate, it is not easy. biden should resign himself, but i think a lot depends on his wife. now his wife says that everything is fine, she says that biden has answered all the questions and she is satisfied, but i think that the family will also influence this and the next discussion will take place in the context of biden's health. key decisions can still be made, but i think it will depend on how the president himself decides. a few words here... a few words about the topics that came up during the debate and are important for eastern europe, especially for our countries. former us president donald trump has repeatedly stated that the war in ukraine is the result of joe biden's incompetence as president. according to trump, putin launched the invasion of ukraine because he did not respect biden, in particular, because of the withdrawal of us troops from afghanistan, which trump calls the shameful map in the history of the united states. this line of reasoning by ex-president and...

presidential candidate trump is dangerous, because it is based on the common argument in the west that everything putin does is due to the mistakes of others. so it's a bit like the psychological technique of playing with putin, where every action of putin is explained by other people's mistakes. putin acts the way he does because he represents an aggressive system. the country is on the verge of totalitarianism, predatory, imperial, and this is the main reason for the behavior. can be translated responsibility for his actions on others, because it really does not make sense. this applies to trump's arguments and nigel farage's statements a week ago. this leads us into an absolutely vicious circle. it should also be mentioned that a few days before this debate, reuters reported that two of trump's key advisers presented him with a plan to end the war in ukraine through peace talks between kyiv and moscow, which kyiv would be forced to do because of restrictions.

this should make them think that they must, as they used to say in poland, are in deceptive oman. trump's advisers are wrong, and all those who today call for a cease-fire, some kind of truce, should understand that putin does not want it, the advisers want it, or viktor orban, who goes to kyiv and offers something there, but not putin. this is a very bad tactic because it weakens the west and blurs the issue of war. peace is needed. but only one that will be based on international law, other peace is not peace, violence. whether ukraine's support and american leadership, vision, will remain regardless of the outcome of the elections war in the context of the need to stop putin. i hope so, and the

trump advisers who are standing somewhere in the shadows today, not involved in the campaign, do not have decisive influence right now. later they will have influence, because always every successive administration comes and starts influencing. concluding the american part of our program, how realistic is the replacement of candidates in the near future, although time is running out, it is technically possible, and while biden's ratings are falling, there is still a significant number of cases against trump in the courts. will we still be able to see a white swan from either camp? for example, the current vice president of the usa, camila harris, is named among the possible candidates from the democrats. even the candidacy of michelle obama, the wife of former us president barack obama, is being heard. we

can discuss this because it is actually somewhat interesting. i don't think michelle obama wants to get involved in politics. on monday i spoke to someone who knows her well. about the political crisis and protests that broke out after the victory of the far-right national association in the first round parliamentary elections. first of all, as you explain, the phenomenon of marine le pen's victory with such a huge result, the majority of french people support ukraine, so why did they

decide to support putin's closest friend in france? that's right, it's a bit like the 70s in italy, when the italian communist party suddenly started winning elections and almost formed. in one of the main countries of nato and the european economic community in italy, and my vision is that this is a situation where macron suddenly increases his rhetoric and expectations about putin, wants to support ukraine more, puts the issue on the edge of a knife, and on the other hand there is a national front that exceeds 30% with a chance to form a government. that is, imagine that such a government can be formed in france, its ministers, for example, defense, internal affairs, justice, will have access to everyone.

it looks like this if the far right wins and they form a government. macron's promises to send military advisers to ukraine and the transfer of mirage 2000 fighter jets will be forgotten. what next with the support of ukraine and the protection of europe? exactly as it happened in the 1970s, when we saw the victory of the italian communist party or the french communist party. the parties that were parties connected to the kremlin were the parties of the comintern, it no longer existed, but still it was the comintern or the cominform, and today the situation is the same when it comes to the popular front, the national association is part of putin- thorn, and of course i do not

rule it out, it is such a big party and there may be intelligent people who think differently, but in general this party is connected to the kremlin and receives money from the kremlin, it is very dangerous, we do not have it. it is an influence, we are waiting for the results of the second round of elections, but i think that there is not enough talk about the fact that europe is at a crossroads due to the possibility of turning the politicians of the national union into leaders who will define the political. is there any plan against this? let's wait for the results of the elections in france. on july 2 , the ministers of the new government of the netherlands, led by the far-right, were sworn in. what to expect from these changes? the netherlands demonstrated huge support for ukraine in the war against putin in these years. it is a different story than in france. here i think it will be'.

on july 2, for the first time in 12 years , hungarian prime minister viktor orban visited kyiv. in the ukrainian capital, orban said that ukraine should stop shooting, because a ceasefire would ensure an accelerated pace. orbán is not proposing a real peace plan, he is proposing to legalize rape. what

is his political vision and will orbán be able to change his political views after his visit to ukraine, whose heroism is admired by all europe. orbán is the leading revisionist of the eu. if he really changes his political line, i will. he went to kyiv because he wanted to show that he is open to various topics and capable of presiding over the eu. on july 2, he also wrote a false article in the financial times, where he talks about the economic success of hungary, which is based on the german-french growth plan, but from a distance it can be seen that this is all political trickery. to believe this, and when orbán now proposes a ceasefire in ukraine, it is not peace, it is encouraging impunity for violence. or

do you think that orban's actions are a scenario agreed upon with putin? i don't think he needs to negotiate with putin, he just thinks the same, only he is in the eu, and because of that we have to approach him differently. let's talk about hungary's eu presidency, which began on july 1 and will last for 6 months. december, then poland. it is worth noting that from the very beginning, viktor orbán agreed to support the start of accession negotiations with ukraine, on the condition that ukraine publicly undertakes to fulfill the 11 demands of budapest, which concern the rights of the hungarian minority in transcarpathia. some of them sound quite strange, such as the demand to use the 2001 census in transcarpathia , or, for example, to recognize transcarpathia. what do you think about it? orbán is a revisionist and

is trying to use the eu enlargement mechanism to promote his views. he knows that he cannot act fully now because the russians have lost at kiev and kharkiv and he has to give back, because any plan to change the borders is now impossible, and yet he is trying to use the eu negotiating mechanism to promoting your ideas, or introducing them through the side door. and what were the biggest challenges for poland during the accession negotiations, were there cases that poland simply could not fulfill some demands? how was it then in your case, did brussels help and can warsaw and brussels help ukraine in discussions with budapest now? undoubtedly, the most difficult negotiations were for us. agriculture and transport for ukraine, these will also be difficult challenges, but this is purely related to

eu norms, and the issue of minorities is a question of participation in for the council of europe. i have something to say about this . it seems to me that the hungarian pressure is an incentive for the ukrainian authorities to reassess the polish policy towards minorities. we expect simple reciprocity, a good attitude towards the polish minority, for example, in lviv, in particular, if we are talking about the school system. i believe that all this should make many people in ukraine think about how big the difference is between the hungarian style of using minorities as an element of pressure on ukraine and the polish approach, which is an approach of memory and support. we never we use poles in the east, for example, or elsewhere in ukraine, as an element of blackmail. this is a good moment for those in charge of politics. minorities in ukraine to think about it and make gestures of goodwill regarding, for example, polish places of memory or in matters of education, not to change the structure of polish schools in lviv. and in today's ukraine, the polish minority is a small part of the population, but it is already part of the traditions of the ukrainian state, a loyal minority and the real wealth of ukraine. when i listen to what orbán says, i remember that one or another of my polish friends from lviv, who went to the armed forces, who were initially at

the front in 14th year, then returned and now again stood up for the defense of ukraine. maybe this one is good. it is necessary to conduct negotiations, and i say this everywhere. negotiations on joining the eu will not be easy for ukraine. this is not the kind of negotiation where everyone comes and sits down together to write a road map. the eu has its own great tradition of these changes, and before that the european economic community, and before that the european coal and steel association, these were where... and some partners will negotiate on what concerns the european union, i.e. market issues, agriculture issues, transport issues, and some partners will have strong positions on the market, agriculture or transport issues, some like orbán will put forward additional conditions, in my the view is not needed,

because the negotiations are so complicated, but no matter what, it is worth remembering the main result, which is very beneficial for... hungary viktor orban visited kyiv, on july 2, to warsaw on a diplomatic visit german chancellor olaf scholz arrived. during a press conference with polish prime minister donald tusk, he said that in connection with russian aggression against our country, germany and poland will deepen cooperation to support ukraine. scholz emphasized that russia's attack destroys the peaceful order in europe and threatens the security of the entire continent. he noted that germany and poland will cooperate for their own security and for better protection of refugees from ukraine who ended up in their countries as a result of the war. what

could this in-depth cooperation look like? support and reconstruction of ukraine is, in my opinion, one of the most important elements of the polish-german. of cooperation today, especially after the conference in berlin, is the cooperation of the local self-government bodies of poland and germany with the local self-government bodies of ukraine and the issue of improving the hub in ryashev and its expansion. strengthening this transport hub and demonstrating its role are key to rebuilding ukraine from the point of view of almost the entire west. we would like more military support from the germans for of ukraine, especially the agreement to use taurus, because for me it is extremely important that ukrainians can freely hit targets inside russia. development of ammunition production in europe. the headquarters also needs german support, and we want more german involvement when it comes to the eastern shield, so that the germans understand that this is not only a matter for poland, but also for the defense of the borders of the entire eu. strengthening nato's eastern flank. exactly. when it comes to refugee issues, what might this enhanced cooperation look like? with on the one hand, we need to prepare a plan for

kharkiv if the situation worsens. after my last visit, i can see that the first priority will be to help internally displaced people. in kharkiv itself. the second issue is the issue of refugees from outside the eu and from outside ukraine. poland should receive financial support to expand all possible border protection systems, because this is not only the border of poland, but also the border of the entire eu. and what about the refugees from ukraine who are already in poland and germany? these are two different topics, therefore that today we talk about refugees in two contexts. when it comes to refugees from ukraine, that is, you who are passing through the war and those who will come, this issue does not cause any controversy. it's clear that they... to be able to go west if they want to. i can't imagine that people in such a traumatic situation, often mothers with children in their arms, would be deprived of a sense of safety for several years in the west across the eu. another issue is the problem of those refugees from the east who are now illegally trying to cross the polish-belarusian border. recently , a polish soldier died because of it. poland

should not be forced to accept refugees who forcibly violate its borders. are there any solutions within the eu? there aren't any now, but there will definitely be, because it's a matter of dynamics. i hope we will soon reach a common recognition, strengthened borders, the eastern shield, this is very important. in the previous issue, we promised viewers that we would briefly talk about the deepening cooperation between russia and north korea. defense express military experts believe that north korea may resort to sending its... expeditionary force to participate in the war on the side of russia. what to expect from military cooperation between russia and north korea after putin's visit to dubhenyan and the signed agreement. how to prevent this? i apologize for this first of all russian propaganda, what was perceived by many commentators as a sign of russia's strength is actually its weakness. to me

, what happened was that putin was forced to go to north korea and smile and court kemchen-in, and that demonstrates russia's weakness. of course, nothing will change the fact that korea supports russia militarily, that korea is part of this war, is part of the axis of evil. putin seems to have the feeling that he has an ally. but we remember that putin always cares about his reputation, and now he is losing this reputation, once again proving that he is part of the axis of evil together with tehran, and that there is nothing to talk about with him either. i don't see that it has any advantages for russia. their gestures towards north korea are a solid reputational loss for country and its president. thank you for this conversation. thank you very much. close to politics, close to the world, pavel koval, maria gurska. more in future episodes. watch us in polish on pavel koval's youtube channel, in ukrainian on the espresso tv channel and. read eu sisters in both languages. thank you. thank you.

yanitskyi and gulsum khalilov in the studio. congratulations to silyam aleykum, hurly kunler, we are very happy to welcome you to this studio today, as always, we will traditionally talk about crimea, about de-occupation, about and about the reintegration of the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, and of course. we will sum up and this week we will talk about everything that happened, and in the first block, this is military, military expert vladyslav seliznyov, military expert of the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine in 14-17, mr. vladyslav, congratulations, congratulations to the village aleyka, i congratulate you , glad to see and glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, well, mr. vladyslav, recently the commander of the ukrainian navy said that russia is losing its military. maritime center in crimea, what does it mean, how much, well, when we say loses, how serious it is at

this stage, here it goes. about the russian occupiers are the slowest, but nevertheless, losing their military presence on the territory of the currently occupied crimean peninsula, including first and foremost through the destruction by ukrainian defense forces of their military facilities in crimea and sevastopol, because when the enemy is forced to hide their warships carry sea- based missiles of a caliber closer to novorossik, this is definitely not a pro-military presence in crimea, when the enemy loses the resource capabilities of its system. anti-aircraft and anti-missile defense is the weakening of the combat capabilities of the russian occupiers, when the enemy bases, class and arsenals with ammunition, including the shaheds, with which the enemy targets the territory of our country, are turned into ashes, this is precisely the loss of key elements that ensure the combat power of the russian army of occupation, and i think this activity is not accidental. the ukrainian army has repeatedly stated that the 24th year

will be a special year. attention on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimean peninsula, because the enemy has a feeling that the crimea - then it is not his land, it is ukrainian land, and it, this land will lie under the feet of the russian occupiers until the foot of the last russian occupier leaves the territory of crimea, and here i think that they should hurry, because it is not for nothing that our two glorious general, general malyuk and general bohdanov have repeatedly stated that the construction of the keshchyna bridge is redundant, and therefore should be destroyed, so there is still a possibility. cover heels from the crimea, using precisely this infrastructural structure, it is worth taking advantage of this opportunity, because from one on the one hand, i understand the russians, they have several options for escaping from the crimea, and on the other hand , i understand that all these options have been affected, it is not only about the kerch bridge, it is also about the kerch ferry crossing, on which we have repeatedly kissed the armor of the partisan infrastructure and the same ferries, it is said and

said. but a component of military transport, aircraft of enemy aviation, which can also be explosive, vulnerable, only now we receive the first batch of f-16 fighters, which will be able to work not only over the territory of the occupied peninsula and the waters of the black sea and the sea of ​​azov, of course, we are talking about large decent ships that the enemy used until recently as express vehicles, that is, vehicles that transported cargo of military importance to the bay and the water area. sevastopol, now they are trying not to implement such things, because the russian air defense systems have recently become too vulnerable, due to the active activity of our kamikaze sea attack drones, of course, there is also a land route, a route that runs along the northern coast of the sea of ​​azov, but there are also hostilities raging nearby , and who knows, today trucks with military vans may move in space, and what will happen tomorrow is still unknown.

the fact that our partisans, our skolakas, are quite active in the south of zaporizhzhia, as well as in the southwestern part of donetsk region. mr. vladyslav, is it true that almost all the ships and boats of the black sea fleet of the russian federation have already fled to novorossiysk, because recently we saw the operation of the armed forces of ukraine on novorossiysk ports. so what is happening now? virtually no nasyar ships. there is no caliber naval base in water areas and bays on the territory of the occupied crimean peninsula. there are several large amphibious ships and friendly ships located in sevastopol, but they are definitely not able to significantly affect the combat power of the russian black sea fleet. and in principle, the process of evacuating the same ships is still continuing. they are now coming out of sevastopol bay, escorted by speedboats and ships in order

to... what a way to secure the big ships from the influence of ukrainian naval battleships, and the fact that our magura v and siyabebi have recently been able to cover a distance of more than 800 km in order to accurately destroy the enemy's port infrastructure in the immediate vicinity of novorossiysk, novorossiysk, this indicates that we have acquired certain capabilities, and i am sure that there will be more in the future, because the domestic defense-industrial complex is working, there are certain developments in our special services, and all these are aimed at weakening the combat capabilities of the russians as much as possible occupiers operating on the territory of the temporarily occupied crimea, as well as those forces and means operating on the territory of the south of zaporizhzhya oblast and the north of kherson region. mr. vladyslav, i wanted to remind our viewers that if you are watching this news release from crimea on youtube, please subscribe, set the bell, comment, maybe ask questions to the expert and presenters, we

will definitely come to the comments after the broadcast... and talk to you.
