name is yuriy fizar on the espresso tv channel. i conduct international news and it has already become a tradition. sometimes i invite famous people to talk to them about what is being said in the world about ukraine and how the world mostly helps us. i invite the ambassadors of the ambassadors of those countries who really help with their words, those countries whose names can be named, we call them friends of ukraine because they are at such a difficult time during the russian aggression that began on february 24th, we can rest easy and know that they will help us. well, my guest today is the extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of slovenia to ukraine tomas mencin. i congratulate you, mr. ambassador. thank you for joining me today. so let's start our interview. my first question will be this. did you return to kyiv on june 14, did the work of your embassy change during the war? the consulate

was open from the middle of march. changed when i returned to kyiv and the consulate worked all the time during the war, we left kyiv on the third day of the war, but the consulate continued to work, of course we cannot work as before, we have fewer employees because you simply cannot call the entire staff here. for example, my secretary is now works online from kraków another from the ministry of foreign affairs in lublin is engaged in supporting ukrainians in lviv consul on economic issues our colleague is ukrainian and with me in kyiv diplomats let's talk about ukrainian refugees who are currently in

slovenia, how many are there in your country, but there are several thousand, less than 10, and let's say more than 5. slovenia is a small country. many of them come and go, so the number changes. temporarily stay in ukraine, we have already included them in our schools. children attend educational institutions, we even have ukrainian classes . how long can they stay? you said a certain time, but how long can it be for them? it is important that it is not for long because they want to return to ukraine, we allow them to stay

as long as they need, i understand that people want to go home, of course you have already mentioned ukrainian students who study in slovenian schools, but i have a question about students who are getting higher education. do you have special programs for ukrainian students i am asking about this due to the fact that many ukrainian youth currently can not continue to obtain a proper higher education , it is obvious that due to the war, unfortunately, and they are looking for are there any options in europe or does slovenia offer such options and this is a test for us and for ukraine to provide more opportunities volt e-e legend of in slovenian and some in english as far as

i know many ukrainian students also attend english classes i am convinced that we need to open everything more places for those who would like to study at the four universities in our country, mr. ambassador, we are sincerely grateful to slovenia and your government for the weapons we receive from you last week, the minister of defense of your country reported that slovenia has sent 35 armored vehicles to ukraine. are further military shipments planned? i am asking this so that our viewers understand, because 10 days ago, the minister of foreign affairs of slovenia, tanja fajon, emphasized that your country will shift the focus of aid to ukraine to aid in reconstruction and the provision of humanitarian aid, but your previous government focused on providing us with military aid,

but now, according to the quote from your minister of foreign affairs, we have certain projects that we can help ukraine with the example of demining and we can find allies in the matter of post-war development. this is the end of the quote, mr. ambassador. does this mean that ukraine will no longer receive weapons from slovenia ? this is an achievement of our new government, he confirmed this shipment and it was given to ukraine, unfortunately, our warehouses are almost empty, we have a small arsenal of weapons, so the government says that we will have to change and strengthen other ways of assistance no, for example, as you said demining, we

have great capacities. we hear every day that it is very necessary and i will talk to the ukrainian authorities about the fact that our sappers will be able to come. i am ukrainian. the legal aspects of how international organizations work in the field of demining in slovenia are the international trust fund in this area, as well as the support of the victims of cancellations, these are international organizations, not only slovenian ones, therefore independent legislation of ukraine is needed, demining will be a priority in assistance ukraine for this help, by the way, let's talk a little about the european union. slovenia has been a member of the eu as far as i know since may 1, 2004. can you tell the ukrainian audience why it is so important for ukraine. one day

it is very important to become a member of the european union. slovenia will celebrate 31 the year of independence is tomorrow and we remember the day when slovenia declared its independence with a constitutional act and the next day implemented it was june 26, 1991 but the political and armed forces of its former slavia wanted to prevent independence, they attacked and started a ten-day war, we were in a situation very similar to ukraine, we did not know in which direction to move . ukraine, we are very happy that last night in

brussels the european leaders decided to grant candidate status to ukraine and moldova. adhere to many criteria and we will help ukraine in their implementation. we will check what will lead to eu membership, but what opportunities membership in the european union gave to slovenia when it joined it is interesting to note that slovenia for a long time was and i think is the least eurosceptic country in europe if you ask in the population, is this favorable? you will hear the least amount of euroscepticism in slovenia . europe will come later. the schengen zone. we cannot

combine this with membership in nato. we are talking about european integration . became members of nato a few years later, the population supports the european union much more than, for example, membership in nato, but i must say that we already have a lot of support for nato among the population. thank you to your government. thank you to the slovenian people for helping us get this candidate status that we were given in thursday, ok, ukraine has also been granted the status of a partner in the three seas initiative. it seems like it was 10 days ago, what are the possibilities of such a partnership both for ukraine and for the three seas initiative itself? the initiative of the three seas to join ukraine is recent. ukraine received the status of a partner, but

de facto - this is full access to the group. of course, this is important, in general, it is an organizational initiative of eu members on the territory of the european union, but the rapprochement of ukraine will be useful for us and for ukraine, including projects in the field of logistics infrastructure, and we see with the development of events over the last three months that ukraine is extremely important in logistics, and it itself also needs it. i would also like to say about one more initiative where ukraine presiding now is the danube strategy, the prime minister of your country has been invited to participate in a conference on the reconstruction of ukraine, this conference is scheduled for july 4-5 in the swiss city of luhansk, as you see the european marshall plan for ukraine, this is a big

plan, a plan for the reconstruction of ukraine, president zelenskyi spoke about restoration of ukraine even before the war and now it is even more infrastructure related to europe suggests that each country will take part of the responsibility slovenia will definitely take its own we need to understand how far we are we can go in. yesterday i visited zhytomyr. it was my first trip outside of kyiv. we assessed the scale of reconstruction that zhytomyr and the zhytomyr region will need. slovenia cannot examine the entire territory of ukraine, of course we understand that every corner of ukraine is equally important to us, but we need to understand where exactly we are needed the most perhaps geographically, perhaps we will take a certain demining zone or we will find another option

where we can make our contribution to the reconstruction , mr. ambassador, what are the main economic sectors of cooperation between slovenia and ukraine and how they can continue to develop after ukraine took a step closer to the european union on thursday, the ukrainian market is very important for us and slovenia has become an increasingly important market for ukraine in the field of economy, we have a fairly strong pharmaceutical company and now we are working hard to ensure that the company remains in ukraine on a large scale and increase your activity, you probably know that the verkhovna rada has adopted a new law in the field of pharmaceuticals that may hinder foreign enterprises to exist and work at full capacity in ukraine thank you slovenia is making every effort to

bring ukraine and russia to the negotiating table through various diplomatic channels ljubljana offers a place for such negotiations or can ljubljana offer itself as a mediator during them well, is it everything is somehow moving we are still monitoring the situation and the possibility of dialogue, we fully understand what the ukrainian leaders are saying about the current state of the importance of the negotiations, no one should push ukraine to them when aggression prevents honest negotiations. as you may know, slovenia once offered a place for the meeting of the former presidents and putin, but now we are far from repeating it, it is not comparable, but i just remember that they offered earlier. thank you

, at least for what you offered place on thursday, the russian ministry of foreign affairs said that slovenia, together with croatia, brought relations with russia to the freezing point, was it because of the russian war in ukraine or the relations between ljubljana and moscow were tense even before the beginning of russian aggression in ukraine, if i understood you correctly, it was russia that suspended these relations, and i will return to why european leaders supported the granting of candidate status to ukraine in order to show russia that no one can stop the nation's independence and desire to join those with with whom it shares values ​​and wants to develop democracy with the help of the democratic values ​​of this organization such as the eu in order to show moscow that aggression cannot hinder any nation nation mr. ambassador my

the last question for you today is whether russia's gas war against europe affects slovenia in any way, or have you prepared for it, and if it ever comes to the european union's ban on the supply of natural gas as part of the seventh package of sanctions, does slovenia support it, i don't have an exact answer but slovenia, like all countries, is affected and we include it in the so-called package of measures that we must take against the aggressor russia, i can say that slovenia was aware of the diversity of gas supplies even when we became independent from the former yugoslavia from the beginning of independence, slovenia bought gas not only from russia or eastern markets, but also from other sources, for example algerian gas, we use

it in large quantities since the beginning of independence . that is, you were prepared for possible problems with the supply of russian natural gas. believe me not that we are ready, we understand the responsibility and we will find a solution. good mr. ambassador. thank you very much. thank you for the help that we receive from your country, from your government and to you personally. for joining me today well, i will remind you that the ambassador of the republic of slovenia, tomas menchyn, was with me today. they talked about the obvious cooperation between ukraine and slovenia. in this difficult time for ukraine, they also talked about the help we receive from slovenia and its people. well, they obviously talked about also about the european prospects of ukraine and, once again, the

support of slovenia, the ambassador of this country to ukraine, tomas manson, was with me. my name is yuri fizer. see you soon. we are looking for seven-year-old yehor rudenko . he is cheerful, bright and very communicative. a boy who may look even a little older than his age, so it happened that when the war started, he was with his grandmother in the village of keramik in donetsk region, look at it very close to avdiyivka, and even though the village is under the control of ukraine , there are active combatants there almost from the beginning actions are correct there, everything there, i am equal to the face of the earth when i hid it in the basement but imagine what almost any village looks like after enemy shelling, i specially came to the buchan district of kyiv region where also on almost everything here was destroyed by the occupiers, and

it was possible to survive during the air raids, except that it was known in the past that this is what grandmother yehora did. the phone connection, yegora's mother, when it all started, she was in mirnograd, 50 kilometers from the village of keramik, the woman decided that she needed to run away from donetsk region, and before leaving, of course, she tried to take her son away from the dangerous territory, i was to mirnograd, oh, to bila tserkva. we moved to bila tserkva. we just started to bomb and we came here. when we left, we came to pick up my son. no, his grandmother was never found, and their mobile phone is out of range, but for now there is a small

clue, there is information that the grandmother, together with yehor, managed to escape from active hostilities in the village of selidove, this is also the pokrovsky district of donetsk region, which only 50 km from the village of ceramicists at dachas, please, if someone knows that it won’t be about him, or he can tell, please tell me, similar to me. big blue eyes, similar to me. residents of the village of silidove, who may see me now, take a close look at the photo of yehor rudenko, remember this face, i will remind you he is a very active and talkative boy who easily gets in touch if anyone has seen him or knows where he can be stay now do not delay call us to the child tracing service at the short number 116 000 from any mobile phone calls are free or

greetings on the express channel today we will talk about what new attacks on europe and ukraine russia is preparing, but this time it is not about the onslaught of russian orcs on tanks or about long-range missiles, it is about another weapon, namely dependence european states from russian hydrocarbons, what is the russian federation trying to take advantage of again? my name is serhiy zgurets. i am the director of the defense express company, which, together with the espresso channel, strives to cover the most pressing security issues. my interlocutor is the president of the center for global studies strategy 21, mykhailo gonchar. in my opinion, he is one of the best specialists in the field of both energy and military security, mr. mykhailo, i congratulate you. good health

. of the environment - this is about the destruction by the ukrainian military of energy facilities in the black sea, actually stolen from us gas production towers that were located there, i wanted to hear from you what exactly these facilities were, what significance they had for the enemy in the system of providing crimea, and what was present there the military component of these objects , well, first of all, due to the fact that these objects of purely civilian gas production infrastructure began to be used by the enemy for military purposes, they became the object of increased attention from the armed forces forces of ukraine, and actually this happened not uh yesterday uh if you recall the history of recent years, well actually after the capture in 2014 back in march uh by pirate method uh of these mining platforms and

self-elevating drilling rigs of well-known experts uh in a simple way heavy fighting. actually, this story dates back to the 14th year, and then in the 17th year , during a joint raid by the state border service and the chornomornaftogaz company to check. what is there, how is everything in place? naftogaz filed a lawsuit against this equipment corresponding to the international arbitration bodies regarding the return of stolen property because a nehar appeared on the self-elevating combat installations, which in principle should not have been there, were identified as niva type radar stations of the centimeter and millimeter range , it became clear that they were simply installed on such

objects that dominate the maritime landscape eh they are eh targeted to the present day. actually, it was noticed that a lot of additional equipment appeared at these facilities, in particular, there were radio equipment, facilities of a radio technical intelligence station, even electronic warfare, well, in fact, a control point for the coordination of the forces of the fleet was located well, obviously, this was done with the aim of compensating for lost opportunities after the missile cruiser moscow, well, carried out a negative launch. which

the forces and means that russia placed on civilian infrastructure on civilian gas production facilities were supposed to become targets for attacks because, in principle , if according to military logic, the necessary ones must be organized first of all, the enemy's control system. happened well, in parallel, of course, if there is really a missile attack on the platform, then it will come to a non-functional state. well, that is what happened, so if it were a completely logical action, would it have, let's say, the gas supply to crimea ? well, it won't, because as you know there is still a gas pipeline which was built from taman to the crimean peninsula during the period of occupation and, in principle, it is capable of providing the necessary volumes of shelf

gas for crimea, in principle, there was never enough, in fact, only in the 13th year before the year of occupation, when ukrainian chornomor naftogaz increased production thanks to this very thing the one you bought in singapore was clearly the one i apologize to the drilling rigs, but only in the 13th year, so to speak, crimea began to be self-sufficient with gas from the shelf fields, and then there was a fall production is quite clear. actually, the production there is now at the level of one billion cubic meters. and it should be, if the plans of chornomornaftogaz and naftogaz as a whole were implemented, then at least by the 20th year it should already be somewhere around 5 billion cubic meters of gas per year, and in general, according to more optimistic calculations , there are up to eight billion cubic conditions, but that did not

happen. the other day, in one of the leading publications, you made such a prediction about the fact that russia is implementing such a far-reaching multi-level plan destabilization of europe and that, in addition to the food crisis in africa, russia is trying to fan the scenario of such a famine for the countries of europe, showing signs of such a plan and how it should be imported from the point of view of the brain and how we should act on it in advance, so really correctly raised the question of where there are masking signs, but we actually paid attention to them because there was information that the supply of gas through the nord stream gas pipeline has been reduced. ultimately sanctioned so to speak
