[000:00:00;00] all these pain points have been spoken. and now i only have to pass the word to you, my colleagues, iryna koval, who introduced you to the final news release. neighbors , what is happening in the relations between ukraine and poland , a high-level week, the general assembly of the united nations , what president volodymyr zelenskyy spoke about , this and much more, today in the issue of politics, citizens are being asked to crack the conflict between ukraine and poland, is the reason really only in the grain of the disputes between the authorities of the two countries and what do people think about it

? meetings, volodymyr zelenskyi was received like this in the united states , you cannot escape from them either in the basement or behind two walls indoors, the russians are destroying nuts in zaporizhzhia with aerial bombs , the city was destroyed by enemy attacks, we will see she is lying, what is she doing and when she will finish, no one welcomes iryna koval to the studio and this is the news. summary of the week on the espresso tv channel from february 24, they were the first to receive and meet our people, according to statistics, there are now about two million ukrainian refugees living in poland, more than 900,000 poles are officially registered tons of humanitarian aid , cars, medical equipment and ambulances , in addition, they provided 320 soviet

tanks and 14 aircraft, equipment and weapons for a total amount of about 3 billion dollars. poland in in the literal sense, it became a transit territory for the supply of weapons to ukraine and also allowed to use its territory for the transportation of ukrainian grain in this difficult time for us, they were the closest allies, the first bells of misunderstanding sounded in poland as early as february 2023, when protests broke out by farmers who organized pickets and blocked customs points on the border and blocked the roads, they demanded to ban the import of grain from ukraine. this was a forced step for our country, because the export of grain by sea is limited. the grain issue itself gave

the beginning of a series of sharp statements and accusations between the two countries, which are talked about in almost every kitchen and written in social networks by both ukrainians and poles, what is the main problem, our journalists understood a week of high-profile debates at the general assembly of the united nations in new york, the presidents of ukraine and poland at the last minute they cancel the planned meeting the official reason for the delay in the schedule of the speeches of the leaders at the un it is disturbing to see how some in europe are playing solidarity in the political theater by turning the supply of grain into a thriller it may seem that they are playing their own role, but in fact they help prepare the stage for the moscow actor, in response, polish president andrzej duda makes a statement that added even more fuel to the fire, in particular, because of a not very accurate translation , because he compared ukraine to a person who is drowning , not a drowning person, in my opinion, we have to deal with something like a drowning person , everyone who has even once participated in the rescue of such a person knows that it is extremely

dangerous because it can drag it to the depths . it has incredible power due to personal fear, the release of adrenaline and can simply drown savior, it is a bit like the situation between poland and ukraine, the exchange of harsh statements in absentia left a depressing impression, and mutual claims took on a threatening scale. kyiv filed a lawsuit against poland at the world trade organization. in warsaw, they announced their intention to reduce social support for ukrainian refugees. the culmination was the statement of the prime minister shomorovetskyi that poland will no longer supply weapons to kyiv because of its own needs. she surprised not only ukraine and the united states, but also, according to the polish media and the polish foreign ministry, president duda tried to soften the effect, saying that the prime minister did not quite understand, it was about new models of weapons, warsaw is now actively buying the usa and south korea, however, many observers thought that the tension in the relations between the two countries

was developing into a deep crisis, and i invite the president of the republic of poland angela to speak after the start of a full-scale invasion poland acted as one of the biggest allies of ukraine in the first months gave us tanks armored vehicles planes and ammunition took in more than a million refugees and did not give them maximum support eventually became the key the hub through which western weapons enter our country against the backdrop of a full-scale war ukrainian-polish relations experienced a honeymoon for decades, may god grant us a century we will have a fraternal state for poland and as zelensky, i hope, prophetically said , there will be no more border between our countries poland and ukraine so that we lived together on this earth, building and rebuilding our common happiness and common strength that

will allow us to repel any danger or any possible threat, but the border appeared and very quickly on the night of april 16, 2023 poland unilaterally and without warning banned not only the import but also the transit of virtually all ukrainian agricultural products, grain, milk, vegetables, honey and sunflower oil, added to the decision a list of exceptions, on which it was forbidden not to spread bananas, olives and rice. warsaw did not even hide that it did this for political reasons 15 parliamentary elections will be held in the country in october and the ruling party of the right- wing justice wants to maintain the support of the polish village and polish farmers who are dissatisfied with the influx of ukrainian products to the local market since the beginning of the large-scale invasion, when the eu, as a sign of solidarity and under the conditions of the blockade of black sea ports, canceled all customs duties and restrictions for domestic agricultural products , the reason is the asymmetry between polish and ukrainian agriculture, it is

about the quality of the land and the fact that in ukraine large areas are worked international companies with extensive infrastructure. therefore , the government's decision is in favor of the polish countryside and polish farmers, but kyiv should also be interested in ensuring that our government does not change and so that new people do not revise the policy of radical aid in ukraine, following poland, a similar embargo was introduced by hungary, slovakia, romania, and bulgaria, this decision contradicted eu rules, because the bloc must implement a common customs policy, put out the trade fire, the european commission took up the task, but it turned out to be a kind of compromise decision , banning imports until september 15 of ukrainian agricultural products to all eu countries, but allowed its transit through the territory of the european union, however, even after this date, the poles, together with the hungarians and slovaks, decided to continue the embargo in kyiv

such concern was not appreciated, if poland and hungary do not agree to coordinate measures with the european commission and do not cancel unilateral bans on our goods, we will make a decision to ban the import of certain categories of goods from the specified countries into ukraine, the further blocking of our agricultural exports by neighboring countries will hit the ukrainian economy and finances tax revenues and jobs denys myhal prime minister of ukraine what will happen next pre-election survey shows that law and justice will gain the most votes but will not be able to form a government on its own, the negotiations may drag on and even lead to another election, probably all this time the ban on the import of ukrainian agricultural products will remain in effect one way or another, but the problem may turn out to be even greater. for decades, poland was considered ukraine's advocate in the eu, despite the open resistance of western european countries, primarily germany and france, warsaw consistently defended kyiv's membership in the union

, now before the eyes of a lawyer turns into a prosecutor against the background of the report of the bloomberg agency about the intentions of the rokocommission to announce about the start of negotiations on ukraine's accession to the eu, the polish minister of agriculture announced his intention to block this process if the issue of ukrainian grain exports is not settled once and for all, if we are not ashamed of these instruments today, then the square will definitely not agree to ukraine's accession to the european union when poland joined in the eu, we had to fulfill very strict conditions, now we have to put forward conditions for ukraine for more than 30 years, the biggest problem in ukrainian-polish relations was the issues historical memory, kyiv and warsaw argued about the politics and pacification of ukrainians in interwar poland, the events in volyn in 1943, stepan bandera and the role of the upa, but now instead of a superstructure, a basis appears , economic relations, a large part of the multibillion-dollar budget of the eu party to agriculture if ukraine becomes

a member of the european union. a fifth of all agricultural lands of the bloc will be concentrated in its territory . today, of the 27 eu members, 18 receive more from the bloc than they give, according to estimates from western publications, in the event of ukraine's accession to such subsidies there will be at most five countries left, so a serious conflict or temporary difficulties against the background of the elections in poland , we will talk about it with andrii, something is a ukrainian diplomat, the ambassador of ukraine to poland in 2014, the 22nd p . ukrainians and poles are actively discussing the topic of ukrainian grain, and if you analyze it, you can certainly understand

both sides. elections and i want the farmers to remain satisfied with all the harsh statements of the politicians of both countries, the statement of the minister of foreign affairs of poland zbignivarav was added . he noted that the policy of ukraine is harmful and offensive to the poles, and that it will be difficult to restore trust between poland and ukraine, so if you analyze everything that is happening p andriyu is it just such an aggravation of relations before the elections or is there really a serious conflict and did it all come to a close well, i think that in reality it is difficult to say that this is a conflict rather, you should not use such a term. i think that problematic issues have arisen between ukraine and poland that have appeared as a result of new realities

. these new realities are exactly what you said. of ukrainians in poland, this is a question of elections in poland itself and this is a question of the ongoing war, and it is obvious that a certain feeling is felt, well, the little ones are already tired from this fatigue from the war, but also, of course, these emotions that appeared and the expressions are emotional from the side of the politicians, they do not contribute to the settlement of these problematic issues , because if we want to solve them, we need to sit down at the negotiating table, discuss them and look for ways out and compromises .

decided to take advantage of the situation and it is because of this that a misunderstanding arose as to whether it can be true to a certain extent - this is a piece of advice because er, er, certain businessmen or traders wanted to make money on the difference in the price of wheat, which there was one that rose last year, somewhere in the middle of the year, and then began to fall at the end of the year. well, now the prices on the world markets are lower, it is obviously unprofitable to sell it , it is obvious that it becomes unprofitable for these entrepreneurs, but it is also not profitable to sell this grain to the market in poland for a polish farmer, but uh, you know, that is, of course, the question of what someone wants to earn from something, but there is still, if it goes beyond the boundaries of just normal business relations, then there is a state to

regulate it, and that's why i think that uh, polish the government should do and create such conditions so as not to harm its farmers, but also to help ukraine and simply control the export of ukrainian grain and the transit of ukrainian grain through the territory of poland. well, against the background of this situation, we asked the poles what they think about the cooling of ukrainian-polish relations, let's hear them, it makes no sense during the war, it makes no sense, we have to continue to support ukraine, oh, in ukraine, the war in ukraine , the poles received you very sincerely, so did i. i also had ukrainians with children living there, but you have to work for your own bread, you have to earn if ukrainians don't want to work but only want to take because they belong to them because of the war they sit for months and don't work, then you have to think about it do you come

work do you stay well a little for sure then change a little for sure this will change our relations now such thoughts are heard in poland that this is some kind of ingratitude on the ukrainian side, and i partially disagree with this and partially agree, because there is a fact that even we personally supported ukraine and ukrainians very much, but it seems to me that these conversations about ingratitude are a little meaning and not understood, everyone has their own interests and this is natural, but the fanning of a small misunderstanding what is happening in our politics because of the elections is irresponsible and i hope that our countries and peoples have a common future and we do not always agree with everything and decisions are not always in our favor these aggressive political steps can quarrel our states, i don't think that ordinary citizens

have any influence on this p andriyu so how can the attitude of poles to ukraine and to ukrainians living in poland change in the future, because there already are the statement of the spokesman of the polish government, peter mueller, that poland may reduce financial assistance to ukrainian refugees, according to him, financial support for ukrainian refugees, the granting of work permits, free access to schools, medical care and family benefits will not be extended next year. i'm not wrong, as sociological surveys show, more than 80% of ukrainians who came to poland found a job. they work and, moreover, pay taxes in polish budget, they actually support the polish economy, and this aid that the ukrainians receive is less than the financial contribution

that the ukrainians made to poland , the polish economy. how the poles behaved a year and a half ago, accepting ukrainians and providing them with assistance . this was the result of the fact that the poles also understood how serious the threat from the outside is, what serious threat russian aggression is in ukraine, and how serious it can be for the threat to poland has not disappeared, and we need to take care, first of all, that between ukraine and poland there is a strong connection, there is unity, because in case of any misunderstandings between our countries, as well as between ukraine and any -which of our partners and allies will be used only by russia, and now of course the priority is

to give a decent rebuff to russian aggression, then to solve various issues, and i think that emotions should be put aside, including politicians and uh. and approach the solution of these questions mr. andrii well, let's actually talk about the elections themselves, except for the right-wing justice party, which really wants to please the farmers and runs campaigns with the slogans of not supporting the war. there are others. they are also unlikely to support ukraine because they have anti-ukrainian and anti-migrant views, they are skeptical about helping ukraine are there openly pro-russian parties, are there already forecasts and scenarios of parliamentary races who will get the most votes, because we

understand that it depends on who wins not only the fate of poland, you know, this is a rather difficult question and the answer is still unpredictable because the results of sociological surveys in poland now show that none of the political forces is gaining enough votes to form a majority in the parliament and, accordingly , to form a new government, so it is not at all excluded that as a result of the elections, there will be quite such a stalemate, and if no party or political bloc can form a government, then poland will face new elections , literally one because of us here, some or a few months six months ago, such instability and uncertainty can continue to remain in polish politics, and again i return to our previous question, and here it is very important to preserve this unity and to put the question

of uh fighting or russian aggression in the first place because uh all those issues, economic elections can be solved if we solve the most important thing , we will fight back, we will defeat the russian with russia and the russian aggression for this. deshchytsa, ukrainian diplomat, ambassador of ukraine to poland in 2014-2022 and we are moving on. the un general assembly is in the focus of the international media, while conflicts and wars are unfolding in the world, they are trying to talk about the goals of sustainable development, but representatives of different countries do not forget to remind that the war in ukraine continues un secretary general antonio

guterres said about this, he noted that russia's invasion of ukraine violates the un charter and international law and also led to a whole wave of horrors , but the question constantly arises: why then the russian federation and still in this organization, zelenskyi called on russia to get rid of the right of veto on un decisions , he also accused the organization of inaction , saying that ukrainian soldiers are now doing what the united nations should do with their blood, the president of ukraine is quoted by the british publication the kardian, russia is one of the of permanent members of the security council over the past 10 years, the aggressor country vetoed 20 resolutions, for example, in september 2022, russia vetoed a draft resolution

condemning its occupation of ukrainian territories and the withdrawal of its soldiers from ukraine, the publication summarizes that the chances of changes in the un are extremely small at the moment, because any attempt to reform the soviet security council will require the consent of five permanent members of the organization at a meeting of the soviet security council of ukraine. did not allow world leaders to lose interest in the biggest conflict in europe since the second world war, as the new york times emphasizes, already in the white house, president zelensky said that ukraine will lose the war with russia if the united states reduces the flow of aid and weapons, the media emphasizes that zelensky was expected to have a difficult conversation in washington. if in december, congressmen gave the ukrainian president a standing ovation, this time zelensky spoke before the senate in a closed session , while the republicans rejected the ukrainian president's speech in both chambers

, meanwhile, biden promises the united the united states will remain with kyiv for a long time, and russia in its own style. french minister of foreign affairs catherine coulon summarized sergey lavrov's speech in the security council was always full of lies, sat for a short time, told lies and then left - said the diplomat, and putin's scumbag, russia's representative at the un tried to disrupt zelensky's speech in new york, saying it did not comply with the regulations, and the prime minister of albania put him on a place to hear a lecture about breaking the rules from you is an impressive attempt to stop the war and zelenskyi won’t take his word it’s up to you why zelenskyy takes his word first the defense forces of ukraine are inflicting

significant losses on the occupying forces and exhausting the enemy along of the entire front line, according to the general staff, our defenders continue to advance in the melitopol direction, and in the bakhmut area, they conduct assault operations, successfully repulsed the attacks of the russians in the avdiiv and zaporizhia directions, the enemy tried to restore the lost position in the andriivka area of ​​the donetsk region, but there is no success in the vervovo area, our units were able to overcome so the so-called line of defense of syrovikin, however, the movement to a new trench between the robot and the recruits still remains difficult, the muscovites charge there the most mobile reserves, however the armed forces of ukraine do not allow the invader to advance 10 aerial bombs every day russian terror in zaporizhzhia is gaining momentum they almost destroyed the city of orihiv with powerful controlled aerial bombs you can't escape from them in the basement and even more so behind two walls in the room the invaders are attacking

civilian objects in places of crowding population and communications, our film crew visited the city and saw all this destruction with our own eyes, this building was destroyed more than a week ago by one of the air bombs , up to 10 pieces of nuts are flown here every day for one and a half years, the sword of the ukrainian defense has been used only 9 km from here , so the positions of the occupiers are constantly getting to the city from the russians . he remembers which aviation bomb

fell 200 m from here, and i don’t remember, i just don’t pay attention anymore, if it is because it flew here, you know how the shrapnel flies from it through it 15 we have already left everything, well, this is very bad lilya is working on the local market has been shelled five times already, yes, we live and we are afraid, they are not afraid, only in the city the enemies use all kinds of weapons, from barrel artillery to hail, and the most terrible thing is aerial bombs , nothing will save them from them. this is where the orihiv school used to be here in civilian clothes, humanitarian aid was distributed, as many as four aerial bombs were dropped here, this school was destroyed in july, then seven

civilians were killed, you only look at these bursts of nuts, they are destroying not a single whole building left in the city, they are shelling the roofs, they have covered before the church is broken, once more than 14,000 people lived in orichova, now there are less than 1,000 people, there is no blood in the season, and the young people will leave and the last song will be played in the city, there is no electricity , water, or gas, today it is impossible to restore communications, people are just waiting for a successful counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine,

do not give in to this pure strength , thank you, be healthy, see you soon, artem lagutenko, oleksiy kutsuk, exclusively from zaporizhzhia for the espresso tv channel, residents of a high-rise building in the city of uman, where a russian missile hit in the spring , still cannot recover from the disaster, because forced to wait for reconstruction, why are people still without housing, see the story of my colleagues, almost 5 months have passed since the tragedy in uman, when a russian rocket hit a residential building , then 23 people died, including six children who were injured and are still recovering from what happened, because at one point their lives turned upside down from them, as the head of the condominium, gennadiy stlovonos, says, the uman authorities promised that the building would be restored and it would become the most modernized in the city, however, this is just

talk, because according to the residents of the project and documentation for the relevant works, there is no money yet, which charitable funds were given to the uman city council, e.e., they were transferred to the treasury account, we are offered, if subventions, to take these funds, we do not have any project, we have nothing, these are charitable funds, they are related to the treasury account they don't have any, that's why we don't agree with this question and they themselves have to find the answers as to how this money should be addressed to the people who were victims of april 28, it's about more than 3 million 617 000 they were collected in three months according to the response from the head of the condominium, the funds are currently in the community's account in full, but

as gennadiy claims, they planned to spend them on shelters . this was also confirmed to us by the first deputy mayor of uman, oleg hanich, but this idea was rejected. when designing the reconstruction of this building, there was no shelter or a bomb shelter is not a bomb shelter, because it is impossible to build an ambush shelter there, and a normal shelter is not made, we suggested that they make a shelter next to their house , that is, with all the norms underground to arrange with those funds in part, well, the people refused, we also refused this proposal, we offered them to transfer these funds to condominiums so that they themselves could decide how to dispose of them, they also refused. therefore, i do not know how to please everyone , because everyone is not satisfied with everything. does not know this, as lawyer oleksandr zolotukhin explains, the city authorities can use these funds only for their intended purpose, in this case, to
