schemes, but these possibilities are decreasing, look now, with takaev's rematch, so let's say the possibilities are that he is elected, you are elected , the pressure of russia has increased or decreased , increased yes, even this is careful, yes, the kazakhs are doing it carefully, but we remember that two months ago at the informal cis - st. petersburg, well, i would say that there are none present - directly they sat on the podium with putin and he said that we will not recognize any lpr, dnr, it was such a slap, a slap to these young people, we must accept it thank you to you, mr. professor, in the end, literally two words, on saturday, we celebrated christmas according to the new, so to speak, according to the world style . as a family

, we would rather do it on the seventh, but i would say that this celebration on the 25th is gradually becoming part of our set of traditions . yes, i think that for a long time people will have something to celebrate on the seventh and the 25th . and did not go to work, let's say there some from a small business, but i wanted to go to the hairdressers, some hairdressers told me to cut your hair, mr. professor, at christmas it is a sin well, i went to other hairdressers who do not treat 25 like that, if we read the professor, they were terribly glad to see and hear you and very thank you for this extremely interesting and important analysis oleksiy garan scientific director of the democratic initiatives foundation named after ilha kucheryava professor of the department of political science of the university of kyiv-mohyla academy well, we have

znokanah the latest information from there the president oleksandr luces of serbia instructed the commander-in-chief of the army, general milan missilovich, to come to the border with kosovo because of the tension in the region. he said that after the meeting with the student, he was going to the ražka. i hope i put the emphasis correctly. serbia and kosovo, well, in a comment to the serbian media literally on sunday , mi solovych said that the situation in the municipalities in the north of kosovo with a serbian majority is difficult and requires the presence of the serbian army along the administrative border in the nearest at times maria e geleti expert vulcanist candidate of political sciences ms. maria congratulations glory to ukraine glory to the heroes well, it was already quite tense, but here we see that the armed forces are already connecting, what do you think the

current dynamics of the situation in kosovo and around kosovo mean, the situation is really bad because if you look at who is responsible for these protests in northern kosovo, it's the people's patrol, it's a kind of organization that is very pro-russian. and in general, they are the ones who support the invasion russia and belarus in ukraine, they say that this is a just struggle against the kyiv nazi regime, and this is the first, second, that this organization has relations with the wagner group, and it turned out not to be noticed by the media. but the wagner group opened its office in belgrade in in the capital of serbia, it is now called eagles or eagles, and it is like a cultural home of russian and serbian friendship, but actually this indicates that this group is trying

to detail the situation in kosovo as much as possible. and actually, you know this as an instance of conflict the situation of some kind of situation that will require the intervention of the serbian side and serbia itself has already proposed to send 1000 of its military personnel to kosovo in order to protect the serbs and they constantly refer to this resolution of the un security council 12:44 which provided for such possibility, although it is clear that the nato side will never agree to such a thing, because it is a great threat to stability in the region in general, and this is the raising of troops, the raising of visas to the serbian border, as well as the attempt to raise the kosovo troops to the border, plus the situation that arose recently, er, in the zubyn stream, there were also shots in the direction of truck personnel. therefore, er, all this causes concern that

something may flare up there, and this is very dangerous and very, very unfortunate for ukraine, because the kosovo conflict will draw attention away from ukraine, and of course it can arise such a situation that it will be a war in ukraine and there is also some kind of war there, that is, russia, in your opinion , such an escalation would be beneficial, it would like to take advantage of it from the other side we understand that serbia, despite all its historical resentment, does not have an adequate level of economy and is dependent to a large extent on what it will receive in the form of a subsidy from the european union from brussels, the main pledge to dear serbs is to behave, so to speak, behave within the limits of decency this is so, but we must also understand that the population of serbs in serbia is very, very reverent towards kosovo and kosovo serbia in general for them it is such a very difficult

topic and the political party cannot but support the consular serbs and if there there will be a conflict, and it looks like russia is doing everything possible for this conflict to start, then serbia must somehow react and the question is how it will calculate whether it will demand the intervention and protection of the serbs from the quorum, because in his speeches he says that the quorum must it is necessary to protect the serbs in kosovo and if there is no appropriate reaction there, i am afraid that serbia will also take some steps regarding the aggravation of the situation. they are there there is a certain history there, so to speak, and certain environments are preserved, so to speak, which did not emigrate as a result of the war or

at least returned. i think that actually now, in general, somehow kosovo has started to try to reconcile with each other, because they are turning. probably, especially the northern part of kosovo, it is very isolated and they do not have much contact with each other, but even in northern kosovo there is a group of those people who , in principle, are determined for kosovo to move forward, that is, to somehow move past this past and move on. and actually, in december, elections were supposed to be held in kosovo, and in particular in these northern parts where there is an overwhelming majority of serbs, and these elections were predicted to be more pro-kosovo-minded or more positive towards kosovo political

forces will win and they will enter the parliament of kosovo, and this is also one of the factors why there they are constantly acting out the situation and there are constant protests so that this does not happen, and even the government of kosovo postponed these elections until the spring of next year in order not to hold elections in such a difficult time in this region that now it does not want to survive for many years such isolation, and not only isolation, but great violence, and when people experience it, they don't want to repeat it, just too much time has passed to start a war again. this has not been experienced by countries such as, in particular , russia, which has never had a war on its territory or has not had a war for many years, that is, the people who are now enthusiastically talking about war, they simply do not understand what a horror it is, and

if, for example, we imagine that a war would take place on the territory of russia i think for many it would be a shock what consequences and destruction war can bring, and for kosovars , even for serbs, many have a desire to move forward, they want to be part of the civilized world, they want to be part of europe, and these are the conflicts themselves. in fact, other elements or several of these groups that i mentioned are pro-russian and they are actually inciting the situation. that is, it is not a natural conflict. do they remember all the tragedies that happened? tell me, please , mrs. marie, despite the periodic outbreaks in the kosoya region, it still applies for joining the european union, but at the same time , the whole country is not finished recognized in

to all the world let's say players uh, can this somehow hinder them in their european progress, or seriously now the european union, the majority of countries of which still recognized kosovo as an independent state, consider them as promising members. i think that this is not a problem for the european union itself, because the european union must internally agree on the membership of this or that country, this is a little different from, for example, such international organizations as the un or the security council or the council of europe or the osce, where there are many countries members, in particular serbia, in particular russia, that is, who can block this membership with the european union. it seems to me that everything is much easier if there are no such serious objections from some countries of the european union, for example spain , then in principle i think that kosovo has a great chance to integrate into the eu without any

obstacles. of course, what if there is a situation like a military one or something else that can affect the decision, but on the one hand , it can either drag it out or, on the contrary, accelerate it, because if kosovo integrates into the eu and i would in general, i think that it is necessary to fully integrate into the western balkans, then the threat of such a conflict will be less and then russia will have no less ability to influence these countries. thank you, mrs. maria, for this extremely interesting and informative analysis. maria, a gel expert, a balkanist candidate of political sciences, thank you for this conversation extremely interesting , important, the news comes over the edge, so to speak. so, the kremlin informed about russian plans until the end of the year, according to piskov, putin does not plan to attend the final meeting of the cabinet after tomorrow, but

a planned tripartite meeting with the leaders of azerbaijan and armenia, aliyev and koshenian , at the informal summit of the cis, which is supposed to take place today and tomorrow in st. petersburg , will take place without putin, as it sounds. fables, that is, piskov is trying to suppress the narrators. he is not going to congratulate him on the new year, but if he delayed, so to speak, lukashenko lukashenko aliyev pashenyan to petersburg and did not find an opportunity to meet with them. well, as they say, we keep our fists together in a friendly way throughout the country. well, the russian federation is planning to supply gas to europe again through the yamal gas pipeline. europe, the aggressor country, explains this by the shortage

of blue fuel in the eu and the possibility of its supply from the russian federation, the vice-prime minister of the russian federation oleksandr novak said this in an interview with the telegraph agency of the soviet union, according to him, the european market remains relevant because there is a gas shortage, and russia has all the possibilities for recovery the yamal pipeline remains inactive, europe is stopped for political reasons, he also added that the russian government is discussing additional gas supplies with turkey, he stated that the demand for russian gas from europe is growing , but it is more interesting. for use and sale in russia, the occupiers recorded a video message to the chief of the general staff of the russian federation, the war criminal gerasimov, well, a video message, so to speak full, if we can even say so here,

based entirely on a precious, sloppy vocabulary, so in the appeal they note that they are fighting under bakhmut, but they lack ammunition to gerasimov. they turn to gerasim without any special priority, calling him all kinds of obscene words, you are, so to speak , a representative of the lgbt community, you are an uncle who enters in sexual relations, respectively, not knowing who you are with, where will you help us, in the end, the occupiers say there is a video message, well, unfortunately they cannot quote it verbatim. well, there is also a large-scale fire in novosibirsk, russia eyewitnesses report the explosion and we are talking about the location of approximately 1,800 m² square meters covered in fire this is reported by these local news outlets novosibirsk novoe sibir of the russian public is allegedly on fire a

two-story warehouse building made of sandwich panels on station 30 street the second station 30 warehouse is completely engulfed in flames there was a collapse of the structure, there is a threat to the neighboring neighboring buildings. the smell of plastic, what was exploding there, it's really interesting, now to the story, the next hour, or now, how would you say the next hour, because we have guests on the call, it's volodymyr palamar , the president of the association of ukrainian organizations in estonia, we're extremely happy to be on the phone now, mr. volodymyr we congratulate you glory to ukraine glory to the heroes congratulations estonia has approved a new package of military aid for us for the armed forces of ukraine and it includes drones personal protective equipment and even winter uniform so mr. volodymyr

what is the current atmosphere, we understand that it is christmas well, but apart from the christmas atmosphere, so to speak, what is the situation in estonia now and how ready is it how long will the estonian government be ready to support us? it is a festive situation , everything is still the situation that there is a war going on and our leadership of our country is very responsible towards this and the people of the whole country, they are every day, this morning they already had two working meetings with volunteer by estonian organizations that collect aid and, accordingly, one car leaves tomorrow. well, of course, at the state level, this is a larger, large-scale aid. especially since many estonians

lived in ukraine. a lot of people convey information about what is actually happening, and that is why the estonian society of volo acts in the full situation of this terrible war, but the estonian society is not tired of receiving our fellow citizens temporarily displaced persons who have now arrived in estonia, we understand that it is a long time, it is not cheap, and we understand that estonia can get tired. well, like many other countries, of course, everyone is holding on . about 5,000, about 700,000 transited ukraine, who today remained in

estonia and received asylum, among them 16,000 children and 60% are women. that is why every day today, the estonian state does this is to make ukrainians feel at home here, er, huge funds are allocated for this, so that you understand that the education of, for example, one child of our ukrainian estonian school costs somewhere around €350, and er, today, estonians make sure that ukrainians just study and adapt to estonians studied the estonian language so that they were more or less in a russian-speaking environment, and there was also an emergency meeting of representatives of various ministries and departments today, understanding the situation

that the infrastructure is mostly destroyed in what will happen to ukraine? the new wave of e.e. forcibly resettled refugees and the estonian government already has an agreement with the finnish government that if we do not cope, e.e. these citizens of ukraine will transit to finland . finland is a bigger country, it has more opportunities financially and much more than in our small, compact estonia , volodymyr well, we understand that not only ukrainians have found temporary shelter in estonia, who, as we understand, are somehow trying to blend into society there. good conditions offered by the whole country, but there are also many russians with permanent residence permits in estonia who had certain connections with this country before the large-scale invasion, because we know that the baltic countries quite categorically

asked questions about staying in them uh, the russian citizens in the future like this, how does their diaspora actually look now. if you can say that, or uh, after all, they are determined and do not stand aside and choose a side, which is what the president of estonia, in particular, calls them to do allah karis e he calls putin the aggressor and the culprit of everything that is happening, but he emphasizes that the russians themselves as a people also cannot stay somewhere behind bars, you know the situation is different yes, and as our president mr. karris said that in estonia before the war there was there is a large russian diaspora of russians and today russians have the opportunity to make a choice as to which party they are. because

the responsibility for what putin does will also rest on them, and it does not matter whether we are in estonia or america today or in germany, where were they found today for what putin is doing, and the entire russian people are fully responsible, and there are also people here in estonia who have their own opinion, and this is very much influenced by the information space in which they are located. of course, there is a tradition to look there russian television has a tradition of sitting in one's kitchen and discussing how bad estonians are because they speak estonian, what kind of good russians we are because we all impose our own world and so on, and that's why ukrainians today are in such a middle er, the bilingual information space and this is

also a challenge for us, which i'm sorry russians, i'm still available to the general public in estonia, well, it's officially closed. watch near us the border with russia and marva there is also a regional doviruma border they also have the opportunity to watch russian television, all this is usually discussed in their closed public there e-e in the russian-speaking ones here in in estonia, there is a reaction to some events, for example , there today this event with that uh with cotton yes , there they follow the technique of the danger of felling, only there can be russians, that's why uh well, mr. volodymyr

, these or other uh russian residents of estonia are not behaving aggressively they have quieted down a little now , of course, at the beginning of the co-aggressive phase of the war, after in february, in may, they introduced themselves very aggressively, but today there are already a large number of forcibly displaced ukrainian refugees, and they are breaking, of course , their dominance of russian-language stories, and this russians don't like it because ukrainians adapt very quickly. you learn estonian . they are more responsible at work. they take on some kind of work and today, for example, according to the statistics of the european union, in estonia, about 48% of those people who are thorny refugees are employed. of course, this is very a high indicator compared to other european countries and it confuses the russians, as they say, they love their dominant, this is not rushing, they do not

attack our compatriots. of course, there is no such thing in our country, the police work like this, security our police is monitoring all these if there are any such aggressive attacks and there have been cases, you know that russians who have citizens have been deported, had a residence permit in estonia for cases of such attacks on ukrainian refugees, and that is why such aggressive situations do not happen today. thank you, sir volodymyr, this is an extremely interesting conversation . volodymyr palamar, president of the association of ukrainian organizations, bezstonii, but we are moving on, let's talk again about our neighbors, about friendly poland, which put its shoulder in the most responsible moment for ukrainians they are very grateful for this. they are already trying to find their way around the place, many have found work. and although they have been in

the territory of this country for a long time, and that is why the polish government will gradually limit assistance to those who have been in poland for a long time, a huge range will still be available for ukrainians assistance from charitable organizations that provide their services absolutely free of charge maria chernyakhivska oksana , with her two daughters, came to warsaw from kharkiv and still has a hard time remembering the events at the end of february, we spent a week in the apartment and in the basement, well, in the basement for the last day, and when there was a bomb in the yard. and the house was so afraid that they thought that it would collapse for us, well, that was the last straw . the family lived in the northern saltivka. bombings now, despite

worrying about loved ones who remained at home, oksana is doing everything possible to ensure that her children have a happy childhood. she is helped in this by the rio educenter in warsaw, which was created specifically for the ukrainian mothers of oksana's daughter's children they love to spend time here, i say they have already gone home, but it is not yet possible to define it, they liked it very much there, well, there are various activities there, toys and, well, there are also dances, well, they were very interesting there all day long, they did not want to. the children's center also provides meals , mothers can work or attend classes at the same time, mothers can take polish language courses, which we started together with the first lady of poland, agata duda, mothers go to classes, can leave the child in our care, this is not ordinary care, first of all, it is education in the form of a game, we have four rooms, some daily

about 60 children of various ages, in particular, you can go for a consultation with a psychologist both for children and adults, there are regular art therapy classes, intensive polish courses every day five days a week for an hour and a half, we study, in addition to studying, we also take care of the employment of women with our children, we activate the professions of our mothers, we help them find a job, we prepare them for an interview so that they have a job in poland, high wages and when the time comes returning home, i had enough savings to rebuild my home. there are also many charitable organizations in warsaw that provide assistance to ukrainians in all matters that arise during their stay in poland. one such public organization, the ukrainian home, asked the most questions about how to send children to school, how to go to university to apply er now this is more of a question probably

about the beaten cards because er hmm because of course people are worried about how long they can stay here er there are partly such questions when er um people don't have the financial ability existence and they want to know where to get some kind of financial assistance, the employees of the consultation center will help with the translation of documents, write a resume, find work and housing, the ukrainian home has been engaged in the adaptation of migrants for many years, but since the full-scale invasion, the demand for help and support has increased greatly, there have been so many applicants for help that the organization, which had only 10 permanent employees, now has 160 of them, there were a lot of different needs, and on the one hand, the needs of the people who came, that is, accommodation, food clothes, everyday life, the offers of poles, polish

women who really wanted to help, and accordingly, it was also very difficult to organize everything at the beginning, since there were a lot of these offers. well, what did we start doing that we had not done before? well, we have become such a crisis center since march of the organization managed to find temporary housing for 11,000 people, now here they deal with the needs of newly arrived ukrainians and those who have been living in poland for more than six months, they are also of a crisis nature because, after all , new people are coming and those who are fleeing are even more in a traumatized situation, they survived shelling. if the situation was even worse than those who came in march, in march, it was fear - this is often a person who did not even hear the shelling , now these are people with some big problems, they also need psychological support, and it is also such a crisis to find depots where to live place children in kindergarten, this school has a lot of newly arrived ukrainians who need psychological support and receive it for people who have already

passed the first adaptation stage, here they offer free polish courses with native speakers now there are already 25 groups and a school for children in which they teach according to the ukrainian program. together with the christian one, we pass on and accept this baton. our team of journalists, led today by anna eva melnyk, congratulate our colleague. moments, in particular, i will tell you how banks will work in the event of a blackout, stay with us
