[000:00:00;00] more than me and it won't be good for us, but it won't be. well, you can swim here. oleksiy hetman yura is a veteran of the russian-ukrainian war. well, now let's observe a moment of silence in memory of ukrainian soldiers and peaceful citizens of ukraine who died in the war.

it was solved by russia or is it really a quarrel between neighbors what is happening in the relations between ukraine and poland high-level week of the general assembly of the united nations what did president volodymyr zelenskyy say about this and much more today in the issue politicians are messing with citizens, cracking 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? decisions in our favor, important meetings, how volodymyr zelenskyi was received in the united states

, you cannot escape from them either in the basement or behind two walls indoors, the russians are destroying nuts with aerial bombs in zaporizhzhia , the city destroyed by enemy attacks, we will see it's scary what's going on and when she skates a lot, nobody knows anything. congratulations to iryna koval's studio and this is the news. summary of the week on the espresso tv channel from february 24. according to statistics, they were the first to receive and meet our people. currently, there are about two million ukrainian refugees living in poland, and more than 900 are officially registered. thousands of poles handed over tons of humanitarian aid , cars, medical equipment and ambulances , in addition, they also 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 back in 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 bordered by the sea, the grain issue itself gave rise to 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 ? - in new york, the presidents of ukraine and poland cancel the planned meeting at the last moment, the official reason for the delay in the schedule of the leaders' speeches at the un is disturbing to see how some in europe are playing solidarity in the political theater, transforming the supply grains for a thriller, it may seem that they are playing their own role, but in fact they are helping to prepare the stage for the moscow actor . in response, polish president andrzej duda made 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 drowning man , and not with a drowning person, we are dealing 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 the savior, this is a bit similar to the situation between poland and ukraine, the exchange of harsh statements in absentia left a depressing impression, and mutual claims were filed against poland, a lawsuit was filed with the world trade organization in warsaw, they announced their intention to reduce social support for ukrainian refugees, the culmination was prime minister meteos muravetskyi's statement that poland will no longer supply kyiv with weapons because of its own needs. it surprised not only ukraine and the united states, but also, according to the polish media and the polish ministry of foreign affairs, president duda tried to soften the effect, saying that the prime minister did not quite understand, it was about new models of weapons that warsaw is currently actively buying from 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 you to speak of the president of the republic of poland, andrii

dudu, after the start of the 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 , accepted more than a million refugees and provided them maximum support eventually became the key hub through which western weapons enter our country against the background of a full-scale war, ukrainian-polish relations experienced a honeymoon for a decade, may god grant us a century we will have a fraternal state for poland and as zelensky, i hope, prophetically said, between our countries poland and ukraine there will be no more borders for us to live 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 has appeared and very quickly on the night of april 16, 2023, poland unilaterally and without warning for not only the import but also the transit of virtually all ukrainian agricultural products , grains, milk, vegetables, honey and sunflower oil , added a list of exceptions to the decision, on which the ban was not extended, bananas, olives and rice warsaw she didn't even hide what she did . it's for political reasons . parliamentary elections will be held in the country on october 15, and the ruling party law and justice wants to maintain the support of the polish village and polish farmers 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 the black sea ports, canceled all duties and restrictions on domestic agricultural products , the reason is the asymmetry between polish and ukrainian agriculture. it is about the quality of the land and what in ukraine , international companies with extensive infrastructure operate on huge areas. therefore

, the government's decision is in favor of the polish countryside and polish farmers, but kyiv should also be those interested so that our government does not change and 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 to put out the trade fire, the european commission took on the task, but it turned out so-so a seemingly compromise decision until september 15 prohibited the import of ukrainian agricultural products to all eu countries, but allowed their transit through the territory of the european union, however, even after that date, poles together with hungarians and the slovaks decided to extend the embargo in kyiv, such care 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 not make a decision to ban the import

of certain categories of goods from the specified countries into ukraine further blocking of our agricultural exports by the countries neighbors will hit the ukrainian economy , finances, tax revenues and jobs justice will gain the most votes but will not be able to form a government on its own negotiations may drag on and even result in another election probably all this time the ban on the import of ukrainian agricultural products will work one way or another but the problem may turn out to be even bigger for decades poland was considered ukraine's advocate in the eu despite open resistance western european countries, primarily germany and france. warsaw consistently

defended kyiv's membership in the union. bloomberg on the intentions of the rokocommission to announce 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 do not form these instruments today, the square will definitely not agree to ukraine's accession to the european union, when poland joined 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 were matters of historical memory. kyiv and warsaw argued about the policy of pacifying 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 base appears . ukraine will become a member of the european union one fifth of all agricultural lands of the bloc will be concentrated on its territory

. today, of the 27 eu members, 18 receive more from the bloc than they give according to western estimates. editions, in the event of ukraine's accession, there will be at most five such donor countries, so a serious conflict or temporary difficulties against the background of the elections in poland, we will talk about it with andriy, something is a ukrainian diplomat , the ambassador of ukraine to poland in 2014, the 22nd of the year p andriy, i am you congratulations, congratulations, so now there are a lot of emotions, both ukrainians and poles are actively discussing the topic of ukrainian grain, and if you analyze it, of course you can understand both sides, we have no other way out, and that is why we turn to poland regarding exports grain, and poland is actively preparing for the elections, and i want 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. it is difficult, then , if you analyze everything that is happening mr. andriyu is it just such an aggravation of relations before the elections or is there really a serious conflict and how far did it all go? well, i think that in fact, it is difficult to say that this is a conflict, rather, we 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, the need to export ukrainian grain is the issue of the stay of a large number of ukrainians in poland is the issue of elections in poland itself and this is the issue

of the war that is ongoing and obviously feels a certain the 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 solutions and compromises, there is no such thing as nepo understood, ukraine does not sell grain to poland, but it seems that some ukrainian companies are selling, polish are buying. that is , someone decided to take advantage of the situation and that is why there was a misunderstanding, whether it can

be true to a certain extent - this is a piece of advice because certain businessmen or traders wanted to make money from the difference in the price of wheat, which was there and which rose last year somewhere in the middle of the year and then began to sleep towards 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 actually for entrepreneurs, but also from the sale of this grain on the market in poland is also not profitable for the polish farmer, but uh, you know , that is, of course, the question of what someone wants to make money with, but there is still a question if it crosses the boundaries of just ordinary business relations, there is a state for this to regulate and therefore i think that the polish government should do and create such conditions

so as not to harm its farmers but also help ukraine and simply control this export of ukrainian grain and 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 must continue to support ukraine, oh, in ukraine, war in ukraine poles, i received you very sincerely , i did the same. i also had ukrainians with children living there, but you have to work for your own bread . well, a little bit probably, the variables are a little bit definitely this will change our relations, now

there are such opinions in poland that this is some kind of ingratitude on the ukrainian side, and with this i partially disagree and partially agree, because there is a fact that even we personally very much supported and we support ukraine and ukrainians, but it seems to me that these conversations about ingratitude are a little meaningless and not clear. everyone has their own interests and this is natural, but the fanning of a small misunderstanding that is happening in our politics because of the elections is irresponsible, and i hope that our countries and peoples will have a common future the difficulty is that many decisions in our country are made without the opinion of the community and decisions in our favor, these aggressive political steps can quarrel our states , i don't think that ordinary citizens have anything to do with it the influence of mr. andriy so how can the entire attitude of poles to ukraine and to ukrainians living in poland change in the future, because there is already

a statement by the spokesman of the polish government, peter mueller , that poland can reduce financial aid to ukrainian refugees, according to him , financial support for ukrainian refugees , granting work permits, free access to schools, medical assistance and benefits to the family will not be extended next year. well , look first of all, the majority of ukrainians. if i'm not mistaken, as the sociological survey shows, more than 80% of ukrainians who came to in poland, they found a job. they work and, moreover, pay taxes to the polish budget. they actually support the polish economy, and this aid that ukrainians receive is less than the financial contribution that ukrainians made to poland. i think that it is really important. now to maintain unity and to maintain good relations between the countries and

because the way 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 was russian aggression in ukraine is a serious threat, and how serious it can be for poland, and that serious threat 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 only russia will take advantage of any misunderstandings between our countries, as well as between ukraine and any of our partners and allies, and now, of course, the priority is to give a decent rebuff to russian aggression, then solve various issues, and i think that emotions are needed

put aside, including the politicians and, with a cold mind, a mind in a whirlwind, to accept and approach the solution of these issues mr. andriy well, let's actually talk about the elections themselves, except for the right-wing justice party, which very much wants to please the farmers and there are actions 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. forecasts and scenarios of parliamentary races who will get the most votes because we understand that not only the fate of poland depends on who wins, you know this is a rather difficult question and the answer is still unpredictable because the results of sociological polls in poland now show that none of

the political forces is gaining a sufficient number votes in order to form a majority in the parliament and, accordingly , to form a new government, therefore it is not at all excluded that as a result of the elections there will be quite such a stalemate and if there is none if a party or a political bloc cannot form a government, then new elections are waiting for poland, literally one because of us here a few months after six months, such instability and lack of clarity can continue to remain in polish politics, and again i return to our previous question and here it is very important to preserve this er unity and in the first place to ask questions about er fighters or russian aggression , because er, all the economic issues of the election

can be solved if we decide the most important thing, we will fight back and we will win russian aggression by russia and russian aggression. andriy, i thank you. we will definitely win this and do everything for it. thank you for being with you today. glory to the heroes, so today we were in touch with andrii doschei , a ukrainian diplomat, the ambassador of ukraine to poland in 2014 . 2022 and we are moving on. in the focus of the international media, the un general assembly , while conflicts and wars are unfolding in the world , they try to talk about the goals of sustainable development, but representatives of different countries do not forget to remind that the war is in ukraine un secretary general antonio guterres also said about it, 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 is the russian federation still in this organization ? zelensky called for russia to lose its veto rights he also accused the organization of inaction at the un, saying that ukrainian soldiers are now doing with their blood what the united nations should do. security council members 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. any attempt to reform the soviet security council will require the consent

of five permanent members of the organization at a meeting of the country's soviet security council, the members of the organization hoped to say as little as possible about ukraine, however, zelenskyi with his presence in the united states did not allow world leaders to lose interest in the largest conflict in europe since the second world war, as the new york times emphasizes, already at the white house , president zelenskyi said that ukraine will lose the war with russia if the united states reduces the flow of aid and weapons, the media emphasizes that zelenskyi was in for a difficult conversation in washington if in december congressmen gave a standing ovation to the ukrainian president , this time zelenskyy spoke before the senate at a closed session while republicans the speech of the ukrainian president was rejected in both chambers, meanwhile, biden promises that the united states will stay with

kyiv for a long time, and russia in its own style , french foreign ministers catherine coulon summarized the speech of sergei lavrov in the radbez, they were always full of lies, he sat for a short time, told lies and then left - the diplomat also said and the russian representative at the un tried to disrupt zelensky's speech in new york, saying that 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 the entire front line according to the general staff our defenders continue to advance on in the melitopol direction, and in the bakhmut direction , assault operations are being carried out, they successfully repelled the attacks

of the russians in the avdiiv and zaporizhzhya directions, the enemy tried to restore lost position in andriyivka district of donetsk region but there is no success in the verbovoy area, our units were able to overcome the so-called syrovikin defense line, however, the movement to a new trench between robotyn and verbovy still remains difficult, the muscovites are charging the most mobile reserves there, but the ukrainian armed forces do not allow the advance of the invader 10 aviation bombs every day , russian terror in zaporizhzhia is gaining momentum, they have almost destroyed the city of orihiv with powerful guided air bombs , you can't escape from them in the basement, and even more so two walls in the room are used by invaders to attack civilian objects in places of population gathering and communications, our

film crew visited the city and saw all this destruction with our own eyes. the edge of the sword of ukrainian defense has been for one and a half years, only 9 km from here, the positions of the occupiers, so the city is constantly receiving from the russians. it was so terrifying that everything flew up and the bottles flew up. my dear, she covered me with her. lilya remembers which aviation bomb fell 200 m from here, but i don’t remember, i just don’t pay attention

anymore. they all left, well, maybe this one is bad, lilya works at the local market, he has been fired upon five times already, i don't live for this life and we are afraid , the enemies are firing all kinds of weapons in the city , from barrel artillery to hail, and the most terrible thing is aerial bombs from them, nothing won't save. this is where the orihiv school used to be. humanitarian aid was distributed here in civilian clothes. the russians dropped as many as four aerial bombs here. this school was destroyed in july. at that time

, seven civilians were killed . the roof and the friend , what a contagion they urinate, and the gas got into it, once more than 14,000 people lived in orichov, now less than a thousand, this has happened, they will leave, and the last thing in the city is that there is no

electricity, water, or gas today it is impossible to restore communications, people are just waiting, the counteroffensive of the armed forces of ukraine is not successful, goodbye, artem lagutenko, oleksiy kutsuk, exclusively from zaporizhzhia for the espresso tv channel, the russian missile returned a lot , they can still recover from the disaster, because they have to wait for reconstruction, why are people still homeless , see the story of my colleagues, it has passed almost 5 months since the tragedy in uman. when a russian rocket hit a residential building. then 23 people died, including six children . the victims are still recovering from survived, because at one point their life was turned upside down, as the head of the condominium , gennadiy stłonos, 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 , there is still no money for the relevant work and documentation for the relevant works the funds were provided to

the uman city council, e-e, they were transferred to the treasury account, they offer us, e-e, if these funds were to be taken in the form of a subvention , we do not have any project, we have nothing, we these are charitable funds, they have nothing to do with the treasury account, they do not agree with this question, and they themselves have to find the answers as to how this money should be addressed to people who were victims of april 28, it is about more than 3 million 617,000 of which was collected for three months, according to the response from the head of the condominium, now the funds are in full in the community's account, 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 however, this idea was abandoned during
