that the us military contingent is already ready and can even enter the country from the territory of poland, well, in your opinion, this is an attempt to create a basis for creating some kind of rabies, bella, or another bluff, that it could actually be ms. khrystyna, and what i just said about, that is, information is being created reasons for having several possible options for action, and one of them we discussed with you . now i understand why you asked this question. and because somewhere there, by connotation, i gave reasons to doubt that there is a threat from the territory of belarus. i have never removed this threat, you are not removing it, because i am deeply convinced that both putin and lukashenko will throw these troops against ukraine sooner or later, but it is obvious that, monitoring the situation, they expect

mistakes on the part of the ukrainian general staff, which they do not expect because this informational game is an informational and psychological war, which is being waged by the kremlin all the time, what about the transfer of troops to the south, east, north, white, and so on , possible options for some alternative things and so on. this is the case when it is necessary to be ready for anything, especially for a strike by these forces not only from the north, but from the north-eastern direction, we must not forget about this direction and the fact that these days this thing is very actively discussed in relation to a counter strike in the direction of sumy zaporizhzhia and from the south to zaporizhzhia, this is very it is important that this just shows that the belarusian direction and the creation of a group of troops there can be used both in one

direction and in the other. therefore, you need to be ready in this case, any development of events should not be weighed lightly but always based on the assessment of the situation, it is necessary to understand that the level and combat capability of these troops and that in belarus, which are currently brought there from the russian federation, are quite low, because 90% of this contingent is a temporarily partially mobilized resource like you you understand very well for a-a to 100 of some average level of readiness to enter hostilities, well , at least it is a year and a half, putin and lukashenko do not have such a time. a politician, a people's deputy of several convocations, the expo show of ukraine in belarus, a former member of the

tripartite contact group for a peaceful settlement of the situation in the east of ukraine, worked live 14:32, the constant minute khrystyna yatskiv, today is such a day when we had the opportunity to talk about things that are not happening only on the territory of our country, but also outside its borders. so more extensively and increasing the number of really high-quality experts, our next topic will be the balkans, the troops of serbia are brought to a state of increased combat readiness due to the situation in this is another round for kosovo. as they say, our song is a good new one. it's about the fact that yesterday new requirements were introduced regarding the re-registration of documents for owners of cars with serbian license plates. now they will be warned and then fined 150 €. a complete ban on contacting us now nataliya ishchenko project manager balkan

columnist ms. natalya we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes good day well, the story with those 150 euro fines is actually not the most important thing what is happening, but this is a certain manifestation. yes, this is a certain manifestation of the situation, and here the key question is how drop by drop can be filled, this is a huge cup, but not bottomless patience, which can explode at a certain moment, we remember that exactly what exactly started the events in kosovo, well, for more than 100 years therefore, in the 14th year, gavrilo the principle in sarajevo, what did he do, he shot archduke ferdinand, and the third world war began, the first world war, yes, the third world war is now on our doorstep. well, accordingly, there is a feeling that russia wants to shake things up balkans because there is a potential explosive source there, it is absolutely correct to say that during these days,

yesterday and today, the situation around kosto stal is as acute as it has not been since the 1999 war . alert duty due to the events that are happening around kosovo and this happened yesterday and belgrade said that it noticed some activity of drones near the borders of central serbia, as they say on the dividing line between kosovo and serbia, and that these drones are what the serbs do not say where they were from, they say exactly from the territory of kosovo that these drones were trying to monitor the

bases of the serbian troops behind military facilities on the territory of serbia, and therefore the serbian air defense forces were put on alert. as for the combat planes, they were not raised because of drones, but because of some movements that serbian intelligence noticed in kosovo . we haven't heard such news from this region for a long time, and it's really very dangerous, and it's such a signal that the situation has already become very hot. well, not quite hot, but she began to warm up well, we understand that this situation, which has been so traditional for some time, the location data can be used by third forces , mrs. natalya, how do you now see the role of the

russian federation, perhaps in pushing the situation in kosovo to more hot phase and in general the situation is obvious that russia is interested in opening , so to speak, another front against the west, well, she thinks that she is also at war with the west, so another front can be opened for russia in the balkans , namely in kosovo, we are already you already they said about bosnians there the situation is also tense, but not as much as now around a-a relations between belgrade and pristina and how can russia inflame the situation m-m for now we are talking about a hybrid method a-a there will be a lot of information about a-a someone is transferring troops somewhere it will not always correspond to reality,

but we will see a lot of such messages , everything must be checked. and this is one thing and the other is that the situation in kosovo itself will be aggravated. the serbs will wind up because of these rules that you also said about the cancellation of serbian numbers. and at least the priest currently does not issue fines, currently only a warning is in effect drivers with serbian license plates are simply given such reminders that they must re-register their license plates by april 21 next year but nevertheless, the very fact that this warning was issued to belgrade was regarded as, well, barely the beginning of the war - this was fueled by russia through its information channels, and it is not known how the events will develop further, it is possible and these combat

anxieties of bringing the army into combat readiness will gradually subside, the passion will decrease but it is possible that it will be fueled and further, all the more so today, the serbian minister of defense said that serbia is conducting large-scale military training around the border of kosovo. well, the key question is how to act wisely in this situation, that is, it is in particular about the matter of recognizing or not recognizing kosovo as an independent state with all the relevant consequences, what are the advantages and what cons are very difficult because you know now beautiful music beautiful music ms. nataliya, the only thing we ask of you if it 's calling you beat beat good this bell

is beautiful i just remember that the other day the first a ukrainian parliamentarian visited kosovo and it was oleksiy honcharenko, we talked with him about this matter literally yesterday on the air there is a discussion inside the ukrainian parliament what to do with the recognition of this independence and this entity in particular, i would like to remind you that kosovo is a history that is a semi-recognized state to date , a large number of e-e countries have so far refrained from recognizing independence , what is really important is that we lose that moment in ukraine when it was possible to act as you say wisely when the world was divided and western countries our leading partners are now the leading partners. and this is the united states - this is germany, france, the

european union as an organization, when they all recognized kosovo . we will decide to recognize kosovo, this will be such a step, you know, that will be so negatively perceived in belgrade that it is not even possible to predict how relations between kyiv and belgrade will develop further, because this is such a painful question for serbia that perhaps serbianism - this encourages, well, at least politicians may start talking about the possibility of some

state of a-a more pro-russian orientation and maybe even in some format of recognition of some russian aggressive actions on the territory of ukraine. i mean all accessions, so to speak , annexations, and this is very dangerous. on the other hand, you know well, when all our key partners recognized kosovo, not to recognize kosovo, well, this is also not a démarche of kyiv in relation to washington, brussels, berlin , cut london, in the end, well, it is very difficult here there is simply no wise decision. the only thing i would like to emphasize is that i see that the argument is increasingly coming into play. that is, our partners have recognized and voted in a certain way, so we are talking about various solutions , so ukraine should move in this direction, which is definitely right, but are we in our own country? we

cannot find sober arguments why exactly to make this or that decision, weigh everything accordingly and do it with full responsibility, well, such a rhetorical retreat, let's talk about this topic ms. natalya, thank you very much for this expert including nataliya ishchenko, the head of the balkan observer project, was in touch with us and we will continue to monitor the situation between serbia and kosovo . on the air of espresso tv channel good day thanks for the invitation there is information, well clear and specific as they say information that the russian special services were preparing to carry out a coup d'état in moldova what is behind this history of history strengthening

strengthen their positions in the republic of moldova in this zone stick a knife in the back of ukraine and er present a threat to er nato in the black sea basin because the republic of moldova is located on the border with nato and on the border with even in the summer, it was clear to ukraine that a military solution to this issue would not work because ukraine was able to push back the russian troops at a certain distance, and odessa fell to the snake island . the republic of the young well, that's why they started the second plan for transnistria, which provides

for huge financing for pro-russian political parties from the republic of moldova, the disconnection of the republic of moldova from the electricity that they received from transnistria, the closed gas valve, and the reduction by half, maybe even more of the russian gas regulation respubliki moldavia and eh, raise a hostile-minded offering to the government of the citizens of gagauzia, transnistria, and the fifth column in moldova, our rulers now, they they are in a very worrying situation, especially since the western press has published this scenario in detail , they have revealed this scenario. how is this scenario going to be implemented

, especially since some fugitive oligarchs who have been here for two or three years have not announced anything about it fled from moldova and want to join in supporting these protests mr. shalarov, just to understand the situation, how high is the level of support of these pro- russian positions in moldova now? because if there are many people who do not support these protests and this desire of russia, there is a coup, but there are many people who are dissatisfied with the actions of the current

regions of moldova. and in all polls, it is clear that the rating of the current government has fallen sharply , but the rating of santa, the president of the republic of moldova, but of course, there is no such thing as half of the population of the republic of moldova was in favor of the coup d'état, i believe that about 25-30% support these protests, eh, these are people who want to come to power , the second government, the socialist government, the government of the shora party, the pro-russian government, eh, but i see that very many western countries on the disturbing situation in the republic of moldova, including the united states of america, yesterday sandu had a meeting with the president of

romania and the prime minister, who announced that they support the difficult moments of the republic moldova, uh, the united states yesterday beat that , through the usa, they, i am saying here, provide substantial financial assistance to solve energy issues in this period, and i think that the majority of the population of the republic of moldova understands the danger of this situation, especially since ukraine is also interested in the solution this question is because these actions are not mainly directed against moldova, but against ukraine, because they beat the novodniester heteroelectric station in order to flood the entire populated area. moldovans in order for us to stop receiving electricity from ukraine in order to close

eh customs paste between the youth and ukraine eh russia is interested in the isolation of ukraine interested in the closure of commercial corridors of transport corridors through the republic of moldova to ukraine and from ukraine dear mr. minister i s agreed by you and we understand that moldova can become a certain key moment in the russian-ukrainian war, on the other hand, we also understand that if the russian federation launches mass protests in moldova, then in moldova , the next step may be a request to raise this level of escalation to the level of those or other armed demonstrations . but they can play out other

very unpleasant military scenarios, in particular , we are talking about missile attacks on the republic of hollanova, it is absolutely true that any provocation in moldova on the part of the transnistrian russian army will be accepted the island from the side of their books provocateurs e-e special forces that is located in transnistria can serve as a reason for missile attack on important e-e industrial and social points e-e objects of the republic of moldova chisinau white people e-e in the south of the republic of moldova - this may serve them and for no reason they can carry out this shelling, but in this case, the fact that several rockets flew over the territory of the republic of moldova, that one rocket did not burn the territory of the republic of moldova without any explanation from russia

it means that russia eh and eh they just eh without interesting our opinion they just exist their church and for this eh life of ordinary people in russia is worth nothing for putin for the kremlin for the russian government for the russian army therefore we ukraine and moldova must cooperate in this case, and the republic of the republic of the young republic must temporarily renounce its neutrality , which during the war is criminal because it is written in our constitution that the republic moldova is a neutral party, but nowhere is it written that we should be idiots due to the fact that we are neutral. the republic of

moldova should take an active part. it doesn't concern russia, it's not a threat to us, it's not our war, so we now see that the russians are not interested in the opinion of the moldavian correctional authorities. russia has its own plans and it implements them independently of what i think samba or the moldovan government, that his question is very short to the ex-minister of defense of moldova, the partners of moldova are talking about the fact that it is necessary to prepare sleds in the summer and now they will develop and strengthen them own capabilities will be defended if necessary, how will it work in this direction now , may sandu and in general, the authorities in moldova, if you understand that there are priority tasks briefly, please understand this very well, but there is only one way to protect

the republic of moldova and eh russian rockets i from aviation from the army this method is called eh help of the ukrainian army west united states the whole world should now help ukraine if ukraine can sing russian rockets they will not give it respubliki moldova if ukraine wins in in this war, the russian military threat will disappear for the republic of moldova, it will be too late to help the young republic to arm itself, it will take a year, and the war is going on now . was included in the live broadcast of the espresso tv channel and we are going further and with us in communication about chances the vice president for economic education of the kyiv school of housekeeping yes, we see you but we do not hear you mr.

oleg good day you can hear thank god the connection has been restored, we would like to hear from you to ask how productive the restoration of the grain corridor will be now , this is about a certain economic and not only economic dimension of this story, because it was not for nothing that president erdogan took such a tough position that even putin was forced to agree the grain corridor is very important both for ukraine and for the world. that is why it is necessary to make sure that the grain corridor exists from the point of view of the ukrainian economy. well, in fact, the survival of the agricultural sector of ukraine is a question of farmers directly because, well, without a grain corridor , prices will be very low, they will be very low now , and there will simply be nowhere to store the

grain or oilseeds grown there, which are actually the predominant output of the agricultural sector, well, it has developed in such a way over the last 30 years that we, to a greater extent, we produce grain in line and export them well, the country is export-oriented and we depend very much on whether we have exports or no exports, this is what concerns the domestic economy, and i also forgot to say that the economy of ukraine is also very dependent on the success of the agricultural sector even before the war, somewhere around a fifth of the economy depended on the agrarian complex, that's somewhere around 20% of the gdp and about half of the actual export revenue. that is, it's not only roughly speaking the survival of the agrarian sect, it's also to a greater extent the survival of ukraine's economy and in the global dimension , well, look at the suspension of exports from ukraine

or the complete stop that russia implemented in february caused a rapid increase in world food prices for grain crops in particular, and because of this, prices in all countries crawled yes, and not only on food, and that is, it is the source of food inflation, as we say it, and what all people without exception suffer from. food inflation, and here we are interested not in international markets, but in our domestic market, because certain processes are taking place, we react to them , because the average check has increased by one and a half times, and the prices, accordingly, for the same eggs have already become a legendary meme, but i would like i understand what

is happening with all that business, well, this is food inflation - this is food prices, roughly speaking , how they are growing, yes. the rate of growth of food prices in our country is actually quite high, well, one and a half times. i would not say that prices have increased by more than 30%. as far as i know, i may be wrong, but these are very large numbers . if not, i am not understating them, but in some countries of the world, in general, the number is now over 100%. i.e. it's not like we have it, so if, well, without it, there's just nowhere to go now from this, there's nowhere to go now. we are very strongly integrated in international trade . resources and energy itself, electricity is fuel and all this is actually it it is tied to what russia is producing now on the world market, i just want what to say, what if

we don't say that we don't care what is done there in the world, yes, that is, since we are all closely connected in this world, is it this or that or to a different extent, a also appears in us, that is, what happens in us, it strongly reacts or affects e prices are the same in the same there in nigeria or there in luganda or in brazil and here and instead what is happening there in iran or in the middle east it it also affects us very much, so uh, we are very much are connected and for now, unfortunately, until we resolve the issue with russia, it is difficult to expect any reduction in prices, but the report of the world bank came out recently, they monitor prices and it seems that world prices are now going down, well, at least since september , but three risks are very strong people can influence or act against this decrease, these are the actions of russia, yes, they are doing it now, they are stopping exports there, and

in this way they heat up the prices, then, uh, the prices of energy carriers, they also increase, and again, here russia depends, yes, a lot on russia it depends and the third thing that affects the prices is the harvest forecasts for the next year, and they are not very good for us. well, you are not only here, but all over the world. that is, we will remain in that period, well, not so much, well, shortages or what about food yes, to explain in a simple way, the factors now play a role in preventing them from increasing, and we saw that after russia's announcement, there was a counter-payment december grain futures went up by $10, to be more precise by $10 € per ton, that is, we have a very short minute the danube grain route remains as an alternative, i don't know how commensurate with the grain corridor as we have it with other routes, of

course it is not commensurate, but it must be done, yes , any opportunity we have to expand export corridors through the western border. this will happen and it is happening regardless of whether we have grain culture products, in the best case we can export via the danube grain route. i apologize. once again, what percentage of our agricultural products from all our desired exports can we export via this new i won't say about the danube grain route, but if it turns out to be up to 20% somewhere, that is, not much. thank you . to act and we have news time on the espresso tv channel, this means that iryna koval is with us for the next 10 minutes. i congratulate iryna and invite you to speak
