and not even close to that, well, it doesn’t touch it, they certainly don’t know. they forget there, they already believe that there is no reposting on instagram, it is not worth anything, but if one person posts and 10 of his followers, friends, post like that 10 10 you have already seen a thousand and millions they saw and this is exactly what is needed, even those who collect donations for other guys immediately understood that we still need to help other guys who continue to fight, but it all died out because of people's occupations. they started there, well, how can i say, not to live and to score on it, they simply started not to focus attention, they turned off notifications on telegrams, they don't read the news, they don't know what's going on, that is, even in kyiv now, walking among people, uh, i feel like it's about marvel, because well, everyone does well, it’s normal. they live there, they get high there under the commandant, a lot of people, when the guys are really dying so that we

leave, but you have to understand that there is a war going on even in the neighboring cities, the cities are simply being destroyed , the same kharkiv is not even here in kyiv they know how kharkiv is destroyed every day, but every day i'm on the phone with my mother and i just think if it hadn't already flown into the house, well, it has already flown everywhere and it's very, very, very scary. i wasn't going to leave there because i understood that i wanted to help. and actually they helped, but the situation also got out of control when rockets flew into the administration, we were inside and the next day we went to the gunp building and two rockets flew there and that's when my sister fell on on the stairs i was in the basement i started us stupidly with such a hack, but the master got us, he was in the parliaments and that is exactly why i had to leave. you need to always know and not forget that there are

such guys who are in captivity who really kept hell for 86 days so that we could so to leave so that our military had moved somewhere there when i knew he was in mariupol, for example, just knowing what he can do, what kind of mind he has and what kind of person he is, i was calmer because i knew that he was in the right place if you had told me, would you have refused his to go somewhere no no i never have the right to refuse you because i support i support the fact that we need to protect our country and our homes because we still have to raise children, a new generation vasyl zvarych extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador of ukraine in the republic of poland worked in the embassies of ukraine in turkey and the usa and was also an adviser to the ambassador of the embassy of ukraine in poland. he was born in lviv oblast

. he graduated from the ivan franko university at the beginning of his diplomatic mission, which he had to fulfill during the war. about how poland helps ukraine and what ukrainians seeking temporary protection in poland can count on. good day. thank you for the meeting for agreeing to talk with us. congratulations. russia in ukraine, your opinion in the first days of the war what was most important for you in terms of organizing the mission of the diplomatic pause in communication with the polish authorities on february 8, a decree was signed by the president and we planned in such a way that already in in march, in march, i began to perform my duties here in warsaw. at that time, andriy deshchytsa continued to be the word, and no one

could have imagined at that moment on february 8 that literally on february 24, a full-scale invasion of russia would begin, in fact, the entire main burden of the organization of the work here in warsaw of our diplomatic mission was undertaken by my predecessor andriy deshchytsa, and i am sincerely grateful to him for the fact that he so skilfully and actively organized all this work, and indeed in the first days of the war, as it worked in our embassy in warsaw, as it was established communication with the polish authorities this , of course, deserves great gratitude and great respect. i arrived here already in june, june 12, and i was certainly impressed by the conditions under which i now have to work. that is, it is a fixed system of cooperation with the polish side in the context of the war in the context the aid system in ukraine has been fixed in the context of humanitarian aid and weapons aid

, that is, in reality, my task is to continue the work of my predecessor andriy doshchytsia and to do everything to strengthen and increase this help and support from poland. and for this, i believe that there are now unique opportunities, a unique chance and great prospects for my interview. polish relations, and here i wanted to ask if this means that this is a new relationship between ukraine and japan, or if the relationship is to become like this, it is simply a new situation, this war very clearly drew a line between who is on the side of good and who is on the side of evil.

really showed who are our friends, who pretends to be a friend, but actually just wants to get certain dividends from this. and who is frankly not in favor of ukraine, i am very glad that poland reacted so extremely quickly and effectively from the first days of the war, in particular, polish society, of course, polish citizens who opened their hearts and their homes for the citizens of ukraine who were forced to move here to poland because of russian aggression, and indeed this great solidarity of the polish people with the ukrainian people is already the beginning of a new history this is the foundation on which we will continue to build our cooperation, our partnership, and this is what my task will be so that this great spirit of solidarity, which is now inherent especially in the conditions of war, to the polish people, this rapprochement that took place between

ukrainians and poles, so that turn all this into concrete projects of cooperation that are forever and forever. you can say that it will connect our two our two peoples our two states in the united european family. and the turning point is that from now on, ukraine and russia will forever be enemies, and ukraine and poland will be called friends, and i hope that tomorrow we will be true to the second statement, and i can't imagine otherwise if the tablet didn't open the border every day and didn't accept e- he is a driver from ukraine, and here i wanted to ask how much of such humanitarian aid ukraine receives from ukraine. just imagine that now poland is in second place after the united states in terms of aid to ukraine, this includes not only humanitarian aid, this includes

financial aid and military aid. that is, this is a very powerful result, really, no one could have imagined. let's say that if we take a few months ago, poland will react so effectively to this threat that arose as a result of russian aggression, and indeed what poland is doing now, this aid that we receive from poland is really a guarantee of our joint victory, i am more than sure that this victory will be that this victory will be sooner than later as some say and that we and poland will have a unique opportunity to celebrate this victory together or alternate communications yesterday you plan to visit her

ukrainian military arrived here for treatment relatively recently and uh they are spread out between in different medical institutions for different eyes there are several military who are being treated in warsaw and the outskirts of warsaw, the vast majority is in krakow and the consul general of ukraine in krakow, katowice, and other cities is in touch with them, that is, it is very nice that our soldiers are here. our heroes who were wounded are receiving excellent medical care they receive excellent treatment, they feel this gratitude every day from polish doctors, from polish doctors, from polish medical personnel for their heroism, which they show in the defense of not only their homeland, but actually the main european principles, as it is customary to say here in

poland, and yours, and we certainly we know by name every military serviceman who arrived here for treatment. we are in contact with the polish government and know for sure who what, where, what the diagnosis is and how medical care is provided to him we are here, we are always there, and in case of anything, the military who are here can always count on ukrainian diplomats and consultations, and she listens. and in general, how many ukrainians are currently working in poland, this is a very dynamic number, we all understand that it is difficult to say exactly the number, instead , statistics are kept by the polish authorities, statistics that is, these are those who can be employed, and of them somewhere over 300,000 already work legally here in poland. i want to

say that this is the regulation legislation, which was adopted by the sejm and the senate of poland, and the government initiated these all legislative changes, they allow citizens of ukraine who arrived here after february 24 and received an identification number of songs to enjoy the same rights and privileges as citizens of poland, this also applies to legal employment and study in higher educational institutions or schools and free medical care and who do not receive and it is also a huge manifestation of such solidarity towards the ukrainian people. and what is important is that this solidarity on the part of poland responded with a kind of gesture of solidarity and with on the part of the ukrainian people in relation to those poles who currently live or plan to come to ukraine. as you know, on the initiative of the president of ukraine, the verkhovna rada of ukraine recently

approved a separate law on the status of poles, which also effectively equates the rights of citizens of poland and citizens of ukraine on the territory of the ukrainian state. also m-m many times because it started a-a for sanity and in the name of gratitude to poland, this pilot is also so emotional and such er-e such initiatives in such joint projects i believe that there should be even more and really. these are the bricks that we are laying this common foundation of ours on which we will actually build brotherhood. that is, we are no longer talking about partnership, not about strategic partnership. but about the brotherhood of two peoples, i hope so, everything also sounds so good, emotionally , in general, war is always it shows the true color and emotions of people. and when we talk about this request, the law that it is here, it is without it

allows ukrainians to study here in poland, is there a known number of how many children ukrainians will have to continue studying in polish schools as if it were a service. i dream of knowing every child by name. someone who came here is studying in a polish school, and i will strive for this . children from ukraine are currently in poland studying in polish schools , and from this number 180,000 are those children who arrived here in poland after february 24 - these are children who have already been enrolled in polish schools and will continue their education in polish schools, but here i want to emphasize one such important thing. that is, we as the ukrainian state are working and will continue to

do everything to ensure that these children do not lose contact with the ukrainian education system, and for this purpose, various opportunities are also being created here in poland with the support of the polish government. this also includes commercial institutions, banks, which also on the basis of their offices create specialized computerized places connected to the internet where ukrainian children can study online in ukrainian schools, ukrainian schools have also opened such an opportunity even these good, very prestigious private schools now allow you to study, e.e. kyiv schools there or from other cities allow you to study online for free. therefore, this connection with the ukrainian education system will continue in warsaw. the ukrainian educational hub, so-called, has also recently opened. that is, this is a place where there will also be opportunities will be created for children from ukraine and even not only for children, but

also for adults who want to improve their qualifications in one or another field in the it sphere, it will also be an opportunity not just to learn certain things there new, new, professional, conventionally speaking, whether to study in ukrainian schools, but the main essence and the main goal is really to ensure this unbreakable connection between citizens of ukraine who are forced to go abroad not only to poland, but to the whole world and the ukrainian education system, that is, citizens of ukraine should feel that the ukrainian state is next to them, that we are there where they are, and that we will always be a support and help in all the issues that concern them and that they face while abroad. i see that the consulate and the embassy is also trying to be such a pillar of help because i see tents on the street in front of the consulate, the consulate has external offices,

what problems do ukrainians have about living in poland, the embassy goes to the consulate more often when the full-scale invasion began, there are a lot of ukrainian citizens... came abroad without any documents or with internal passports or birth certificates of children when the borders opened and accepted all citizens of ukraine who were forced to leave because the russians bombed their homes, whether there were conditions for further residence in those regions temporarily occupied today, therefore, for such citizens, the primary task, the primary question is to get real documents, i.e. a foreign passport, or a document to write in their children’s foreign passport or to produce a foreign passport for their children, i.e. in the main issues with which

citizens of ukraine are currently addressing the constitution of institutions are related to passport issues , documents, and so on in the usual consultation, we here we cooperate very closely with various volunteer groups, which are organizations that work in warsaw in different parts of poland, and which also cooperate with us in providing consultations on housing assistance and employment, that is, there is a feeling of such a very strong mobilization among diplomats and unity among diplomats consuls volunteer organizations that is, we are all now united not only for the sake of victory, but for the sake of helping our citizens who are really suffering from what putin is doing with his aggressive policy in relation not only to ukraine, but to the entire democratic civilized world. so you said that you are all united, that here we are all united . the ukrainian diaspora in poland is so very active, in general, the embassy cooperates with

ukrainian events, event, action, as always, we start talking about the diaspora, i want to focus on the fact that here in poland we are not inclined to call the ukrainian diaspora the diaspora because autochthonous ukrainians live here who have actually lived on these lands since time immemorial, this is an autochthonous ukrainian national minority and plus citizens ukrainians who came here for the purpose of training, employment, etc. that is, this is such a unique kind of ukrainian community. that is how we call it the ukrainian community. that is, we are all one community, one community, and what is happening now is what i see. during this small period of time when

i came here this is really the capacity of the unity of the ukrainian community and it is very nice to see when representatives of the autochthonous community, i.e. polish citizens of ukrainian origin who live here in poland, unite in joint initiatives from time immemorial and this is a generation of new migrants of ukrainian citizens who came here for, as i said, employment or study, that is, everyone is united by one goal of helping ukraine, and they do a lot of joint humanitarian aid projects or various activities with just in order to mobilize even more and the polish society here there are a lot of organizations now and we will and we are already working very effectively with each of these organizations i will meet with them with all of them

represents one or another organization, but we are sincerely trying to help ukraine in this situation, i will always gladly find time to meet with them, shake his hand and say thank you, it's always just a ukrainian team . are ukrainians coming to poland or vice versa, they are gradually leaving home , we observe a fairly significant number of ukrainian citizens who have already returned or want to return to ukraine, we do not hide this fact among the ukrainians who arrived here after february 24, the desire and dream to

return home sooner or later and start rebuilding their homes there prevails. it is nice that even their future, the future of their children. they associate it with ukraine. it is a huge asset of the ukrainian people the fact that we connect our future with the future of our state and believe that after the war this state will be even more beautiful than it is now and it will be even more successful successful that it will already be a new european country that will also be a member of the european union and a member of nato, and it will be a country that is really respected in the world, which will strengthen its subjectivity to such an extent that it was not even dreamed of in past generations. i am sure that it will be like that. and we encourage citizens of ukraine to return there will only be such an opportunity come back together we must rebuild our country the

situation on the border is killing the recently created group open border to increase capacity on the ukrainian-polish border how is the situation on the border like infrastructure and how the invasion is full-scale this infrastructure has been affected catastrophically . the russians have bombed a lot of logistical routes or opportunities. they have blocked the ports. due to these new circumstances, the load on the automobile checkpoints on the ukrainian-polish state border has actually increased. automobile checkpoints, of course, huge queues are created, especially from trucks, e-e, the dissatisfaction of carriers is growing, but here i would like to especially e-e,

special emphasis emphasize the fact that this dissatisfaction should be directed first of all at the one who is the root cause of this situation. that is, it is putin and the russian federation, which with its war and its aggression against ukraine actually put all of us in very difficult conditions. on the other hand, we see enormous political will and with on the part of the polish government, on the part of the ukrainian government, in order to unload these checkpoints, very quick operational decisions are made, and also those related to the liberalization of control functions, mainly if it concerns the transport of grain crops or fuel, oil, materials, those strategic things that we especially need now, we are trying to do everything to increase the cargo capacity of the checkpoints, some of the

checkpoints are now exclusively designed for the maintenance of cargo transport, kraków korchova is being developed where in the end it was possible to separate the two lanes of freight traffic and passenger transport, the possibilities and creation of new checkpoints are also being discussed, a separate working group was created in our government, which is called open border, the task of this group is not only the construction of direct crossing points, but also access roads. that is, the entire border infrastructure will be built, let's not forget that this is all happening in war conditions, in conditions of limited financial resources, limited budget expenditures, but the work is going on and the work is going quite efficiently and we hope that it will be possible to quickly relieve these checkpoints as much as possible so that our transport drivers

feel at ease, but the problem it is known to us, we are working on it, both the polish government and the ukrainian government are working on it, we are also working at the level of european institutions, one of the initiative is one of the initiatives that the president of ukraine is advocating and the government of ukraine is also the creation of joint control at the checkpoints, that is, it certainly saved a lot of time, and we are already moving to a new level of border control, and we are currently working on a separate intergovernmental agreement with the polish side, which specifically concerns control at joint checkpoints, and we hope that in the near future we will we will reach an understanding on the text. and this agreement will be signed in the near future. i think it is also important to buy a dye that is now and the children are developing only in kraków from korchov, this does not mean that only

there will be the ability to increase, then everyone thinks that all other checkpoints will also be e- it is better to work thanks to the fact that kraków korchova will be increased. unfortunately, it happened historically that for such a length of the border, we do n't really have enough of the crossing points that exist now. it became obvious that it is necessary to direct efforts to the development of points, there should simply be many more of them, and this everyone understands all awareness, but also everyone understands that we are moving in the direction of european integration, in the direction of the european union. we have already received the status of a candidate for the european union. of the polish state and we hope that it will also speed up not only the process of improving the existing infrastructure on the border, but in general it

will bring us closer to making this border functional as it functions now in the countries of the schengen zone , in fact, so that the border of the european union moved further to the east, and on the border between ukraine and poland, we could move freely in the same way as between poland and germany now, other countries of the european union, but returning to warsaw in warsaw has a very active diplomatic life and well, of course, there is a great interest of foreign embassies in ukraine or the embassy of russia at the time in dnipropetrovsk yes. will you meet their ambassador once in warsaw no i haven't met and i don't have such a desire while this unleashed baseless war continues, we have nothing to

talk about with him, and meeting him is definitely more than that. i believe that one of the consequences of this aggressive policy of putin should be the complete isolation of russia, including at the diplomatic level, sanctions, isolation, and support for ukraine's weapons are actually the three pillars on which our victory will be built, and here we have a common opinion, a common position, and with the polish side, the complete isolation of russia somehow does not exactly walk the coming of age in warsaw when he once came there for some police officers, do you remember the cemetery and i don't remember who? well, everyone there knows him. he was big with a camera, and there were ukrainians and a fist, and he met me there . somewhere there is his own hiding here, let me thank my president for this, i

understand, if you hear from poland, i know that you have lived here for many years. the slogan of polish cities is kyiv-warsaw together the matter now took on a completely new sound for me when i personally saw how great a rise to solidarity this is. and the spirit of support for ukraine is felt here not only in warsaw, but in other towns and cities of poland, it is inherent in all er, i explain it very simply, poland throughout its history e-e has learned to value her statehood and independence and she values ​​those who, like the poles in their history, bravely defend their statehood and their independence and as long as ukrainian soldiers will show heroism on the battlefield and

to repel the enemy, this support is solidarity with ukraine
