[000:00:00;00] the political situation is a bit like in hungary or like it used to be in ukraine under kuchma, and well, there is also simply such a feeling of such a simply patriotic duty, not only to look, and only to write in scientific journals, that everything is good, but simply to act, against this situation, a pole who knows the ukrainian language and visits ukraine. to the eurozone, i think it should have been done many years ago, but look at slovakia, slovenia, andrzej szyptycki rides a bicycle with his own campaign poster and distributes leaflets in the markets near the universities and the metro, he says, people often ask about his historical surname, when i was there, a child,

a student, what did people say, i was in such a whisper, in lviv, there, the people of bandera, etc., yes, now it’s gone, the third road , from which shiptytskyi wants to get into the parliament, according to sociological polls among the three leaders, the fiercest fight for votes is between the ruling united right, the law and justice party, which has been in power for eight years, and the opposition party civic platform, and this, as they say columnists, the struggle for the direction in which poland will develop. before poland , the main fundamental choice is whether poland will be a european province or a sovereign state. on october 15 , two visions of the future of our homeland will lie on the table in front of everyone, the polish vision of jaroslaw kaczynski and the german vision of donald tusk. these elections decide whether poland will be in the european union. believe me, these are not

just fears, i know that they are planning to consistently and cold-bloodedly withdraw poland from the eu. two weeks before the election, the biggest the opposition political force, the civil coalition, held a march of millions of hearts in warsaw, the organizers called it the largest political demonstration in the history of poland. on the same day, a large congress of the party of law and justice was held in katowice. politicians of both camps hold meetings with people every day and do not leave their tv screens. that's why. emotions mobilize voters the most, this campaign is very emotional, the language of politics is more emotional and brutal in it every time, because this is the world trend and it also functions in poland. according to sociology, the gap between the current government and the opposition is small, it constantly fluctuates and even the winner of the elections cannot be sure that he will have a decisive majority of votes in the diet. that is

why the fight for every vote is so fierce. we conducted an interesting study and asked the question: do you want the opposition to come to power after the elections, despite party sympathies, and it turned out to be exactly 50/50%, that is, the country is deeply divided on the question of who should lead, therefore electoral success, whether for rights and justice, or for a civil coalition, very small ones will decide percentages, even 100, 200, 300 thousand people matter today. because they decide who will have the majority. according to opinion polls, the far-right and pro-russian confederation will also enter the parliament. representatives of this political group are known for their outspoken anti-ukrainian slogans. the ukrainians brazenly used polish naivety, feigned sympathy, and took money from us. if the ukrainians want to introduce

some restrictions on polish vegetables or fruits. or to wonder whether poland should introduce restrictions on the export of weapons itself across the polish border? for the past few months, the ruling peace party has been competing with the confederation for votes, political analysts say, which has led to tensions and heated rhetoric between kyiv and warsaw. the issue of ukrainian grain. military aid and refugees is one of the themes of the election campaign. today, the main problem of the polish elections is the attempt of the ruling peace party to take away part of the confederation's votes. the confederation is gathering an electorate hostile to ukraine. in order to win this electorate, peace turned away from ukraine before the elections themselves. but the change in poland's course towards

ukraine is superficial, partial and temporary. political scientist bartholomew bishop believes that the coolness in relations between ukraine and poland is pre-election, he is sure that after the elections the turbulence in the relations between warsaw and kyiv will decrease, yes, after the elections, relations between ukraine and poland will definitely improve, we have many examples when the logic of the election campaign dominates over politics, we have to wait it out calmly, we had difficult relations with the czechs at the time when the czechs had elections, and after them, relations stabilized , it is necessary to distance yourself from what politicians say during the election during this election campaign, warsaw is not too full of street agitation, politicians emphasized social networks, television and personal

meetings with voters. on october 15, polling stations will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. as soon as voting ends , the results of the exit poll will become known, and the official announcement of the winners will have to wait. a day or two. yuri shcherbak, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine, joined our broadcast, which is now in poland. my greetings to you. i congratulate you. describing these polish elections. polish media often cannot refrain from such, you know, loud epithets, formulations, such as the most important elections in the history of poland after 1989. is it so? well, you know. i think that this is close to the truth, but today, literally two hours ago, there was a report, polish television, government television, where they showed the leader

of the peace party, yaroslav kaczyński, on a bus, he said that by 12 midnight, when campaigning will stop, he will travel around poland to speak and call to vote for his party, he confirmed, he said that this is the most important election since 1989, and he gave a number of arguments, well, one of the main ones is that poland, let's say , is not going to follow the recommendations or directives of the european union regarding migrants, the peace party says that they will not allow poland to be transformed. to lampedusa, i.e. to the island where the concentration of illegal migrants who want

to move to europe, moreover, kaczynski said that we want poland to be governed, by the poles, to be governed, not by berlin, and then after the war, moscow may also join the administration, this is such a polish theory that the role of berlin is negative and the possible alliance between germany and russia, the renewal of that alliance, on which mrs. merkel built her policy. thus, there are many differences between the main opposing forces, and the style of conducting these meetings, let's say, is also very interesting today. for me it was that president andrzej dude, and this is very symbolic, you know where he meets, the upcoming elections, he opens a fragment of the protective

wall on the russian, russian-polish border, which is supposed to protect poland from provocations from russia and from smugglers, well, this is also such a gesture, it is very interesting and symbolic , in principle, of course, this storm, which is currently blowing over poland, has largely separated a lot of people, many acquaintances, friends, in families where some family members support the ruling party, and the second is categorically against, very strongly, very much a brutal polemic, a lot of compromising material, a series called the fsb in poland is currently being shown on polish television screens, i will tell you that we need to watch all this, and this is a very important example for us

of how we should investigate ukrainian affairs, cases of the subordination of many ukrainian institutions to russia, the poles are now exposing everything and of course this and this campaign is being conducted in order to compromise tusk, because actually, let's say, the polish special services cooperated very closely with russia. during the reign of po, then tusk's party, clarification, allow me to clarify, i would like to look at the polish elections through the prism of ukraine, well, actually , they will either lead to an unprecedented third consecutive election in the history of poland, the victory of the right-wing conservative peace party, and kaczynski's law and justice, or they will lead to a broad coalition of opposition forces to power. i understand that when it comes to former prime minister tusk, i understand that both parties in principle, to put it roughly,

support ukraine in its fight against russian aggression, but apparently there are nuances, could you tell us what these nuances and differences in positions are? well , look, i watched very carefully the main polish debates on television, where six main parties took part, although one party does not pass, as you know. already that it will not pass, will not overcome the five percent barrier, but the main parties were represented, from the coalition of the people's ko, or po, the platform of the people, represents this party, and is its leader, donald tusk, who was the prime minister - minister, poland, for several years, and who was the chairman of the european commission, this very experienced

a very politician, but i will tell you honestly, i was surprised, i did not hear a single word from him condemning the war, russian aggression and, in general, the ukrainian issue, i do not know why, maybe he said some things in his other speeches there, and i i'm just thinking, what will happen if, and it is far from clear how the elections will end, i will tell you that there are quite accurate, quite... objective calculations by polish sociologists, they say that pis can gain 34% , and win 195 seats, and in order to create a government in poland must have 230, more than 230 seats, because there are 460 seats in the polish diet, and therefore it is clear that the peace party will have to join some kind of coalition, and everyone is saying that it could be

a coalition with the party itself, a terribly anti-ukrainian, simply disgusting party , which is called the confederation, the confederation, and it can get up to 9% of the votes, and just then its leader grzesz braun called, i quote , he literally said, it seems, to stop the banderization of poland, and he also did not vote in the diet for the resolution to appeal to there is seto to help ukraine, and in fact, if this confederation enters the parliament and creates a coalition with it, how does this change the distribution of forces in support of ukraine in the long run? it can be to play a very negative role, objectively speaking, despite the fact that in general the peace party showed itself very positively, but during this war, well, let 's remember that the first ones who came to support... ukrainian leadership also when

the overall fate of the fighting in ukraine was far from clear, in march, it seems last year , prime minister moravets came and actually the leader of the peace party, yaroslav kaczynski, they came to ukraine and, by the way, during the debate, that's exactly what moravetskyi is showing on the screen, that 's exactly what the debate i'm talking about is showing. he said directly to tusk's face that that coward and that he had never visited ukraine and was afraid to visit , this is a representative, this is the gentleman they are showing, this is a representative of the confederation, you know, it was disgusting to hear that he often called the word ukraine and ukrainians, in every fragment of these debates he said that we categorically

against. the provision of some kind of social assistance to ukrainians, it was already on the verge of racism, because why exactly such an approach, if people have the right, many ukrainians work there, ukrainians make a huge contribution to the economy of poland, and such things, if the coalition, the parties... the fair party of the pis and the confederation, it will have very serious consequences, because there can be an escalation... god be with her, but an escalation of the rhetoric that is already being heard now during these two months, when the conflict, has escalated, and on the other hand, there may be some actions regarding ukraine, so we don't know

how to deal with the second, so the forecast, the second, and he, well, it sounds as if, as if, he has every chance to win... uh, mr. tusk, because there can be quite a strong coalition made up of three parties, this is a party, so, well, kto, tusk's party, the third way, it's a very interesting party, and in my opinion, they basically won , a lot for themselves, because their rating increased after that debate, since mr. moravetskyi, who represented peace and mr. tusk, who represented ko, the people's party there, the people's platform po, they, they were mainly engaged in dirt

, they ran over each other there, it was a very unpleasant sight, and mr. golovna turned out to be, well, such a good politician, he collected the best offers of so-and-so parties, he united them and said: we are the third force, we are the third , the road, the third way and we will be, and they have recruited, they will, they can enter a coalition with tusk's party and the left to them, but it is obvious that these three forces, they are quite different, if tutsk's party is pro-european of the european union, linked very strongly with western democracies and european union structures, then the third way is a rather conservative party, and the left is the leftists, they promise paradise, as since marx, lenin, they promise paradise, as always

, i was listening to them, a very pleasant, nice lady is speaking, she says we will all give free travel to schoolchildren , free breakfasts for schoolchildren, we will make... a train will come in every county, you can imagine , well, the leftists, they promise yes, housing for young people, that's all, i love you, i love you, i love you very much thank you, i think i'm putting three dots here, because the elections will be on the weekend and we will definitely return to this topic from monday and we will definitely talk about it with you, i thank you very much, yuriy shcherbak, ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary of ukraine, live from poland, we talked about the upcoming parliamentary elections, which will take place here. literally tomorrow in poland, thank you very much, and we will continue to monitor socially important topics, trends, socially important events taking place in ukraine and the world and will be with to share them with you, i encourage you to subscribe to the pages of radio liberty on the internet, in social networks, instagram,

who stated that we are now seeing several conflicts that at first glance seem regional, but they are all connected with each other and the same countries that are involved in these processes, so according to his objective or, rather, subjective assessments, we are quickly approaching a global war. what do such conclusions or forecasts regarding a global or world war mean primarily for ukraine, what should be prepared for, what will change and what priorities should be determined by ukraine itself and its partners in these conditions. we will talk about this with our leading experts in the next edition of our military magazine programs. my name is serhii sgurets, i am the director of the information and consulting company defense express, which is jointly with the channels. aims to cover the most relevant trends and events in the security and military environment and now we are joined by anton

mikhnenko, an expert in the field of security and defense technologies. mr. anton, i am glad to welcome, see and hear you on the air. greetings, mr. serhiy, glad to see you. first of all , i would like to ask you whether you personally agree with the conclusions of the same kirill budanov, other experts, that we are already fast enough we are approaching a world war, and then what are the points of tension that might arise if , in addition to our war with russia , such other directions or sources of confrontation appear and where they might be, in principle, if we just paint the current picture that we now we have in the current situation, we have the war in ukraine, the escalation of the territory of israel, we have those, we see the ambitions that china has today, in relation to taiwan, what are the relations between the united states and china now, and in general, in general, we see

the situation that is happening in africa, which is the influx of refugees now from the side. africa, directly on the territory of europe, that is, in general, we see such a general picture that can give the impression that the world is really approaching a global war, let's say so, but nevertheless, i would be more optimistic, an escalation in one or another region the world always happened , there was an escalation in israel, and the war also happened in israel not for the first time, it also happened in other regions of the world, but i would not dramatize and do such and such concrete conclusions from the fact that there will be a global... war, nevertheless, signs that the aggravation of such a general security situation in the world definitely exist, there are definitely risks, there are risks that can lead to such serious, let's say, in including a global war, but let's still hope that this will not happen and that the tolerance and consideration of politicians, the military-political leadership of the united states, and china, and other countries will be enough to prevent such a global war from happening, let's say so , well you see

i see you will adhere to more optimistic approaches. than a number of our experts, but in any case, do moscow's ears perk up in certain zones of tension, when we mention the situation in crimea there, remember, crimea was captured, then the 15th year they begin, the enemies begin hostilities in syria, a war is unfolding in syria, which distracts the attention of the world community there, then this flow of refugees to europe is formed, which also forces europeans to look at their internal... problems, unexpectedly, which arose in their own field, and then arises the question is, do you see any, do you see any such demonstrative signs that indicate that in fact russia is involved in the situation there and around israel and in other regions of the world, some such markers that cannot be ignored, frankly,

of course, the ears stick out, the ears are covered , i think they are aware of this in moscow, and if you just pay attention again to the situation in israel, then of course, pay attention to who benefits from it, who benefits from the aggravation of this situation, which reaction of the russian federation to today's moment regarding the events in israel, is it, the attention of the world community has switched from ukraine, from ukraine to israel, if we simply find the answer to these questions, then we can see, indeed, now the world community is focusing all its attention on israel. the world community has moved the issue of ukraine a little bit, in the world media , reuters, bbc, cnn, constantly portray the situation that currently exists in the gas sector, the reaction of the russian federation, we see that they are, in principle, undermining the official they declare that let the parties find a common language, israel and the palestinians, so that there is no confrontation, but

unofficially we see how russian propagandists portray the situation. in israel, how they portray israel itself in a negative way, and therefore we understand that , in fact, moscow's movement in this context is seen, they have distracted attention, they, in addition to distracting attention, they are trying at the expense of these sweats that are happening in israel, to spread its own narratives, its key narrative in the media space, that allegedly ukraine is selling weapons on the territory of israel, and thus in such a way to influence the position of the world community so that our partners look more carefully...' at ukraine in the context of the provision of arms, perhaps even limiting the provision of arms, and this is again the steps taken by the russian federation to drive a wedge in the relations between our western partners and ukraine, the possibility of ukraine receiving weapons and military equipment from its partners, and all this just shows that the ears are listening and yes they see quite a lot in the russian federation regarding how they use drivers in

israel. well, by the way, no, not only these examples are related to the fact that they began to transfer weapons that were seized in ukraine in order to create these media companies, to make it difficult to supply already european or american weapons, in an interview budanov, there were two more interesting fragments, he talked about the fact that this sputnik radio station had just started working on the territory of lebanon, in arabic with such a russian narrative, and that, the second thing that really interested me there is that on the 24th of september, the russian apparatus , the space one, carries out radio reconnaissance there, intercepts... satellites, satellite signals, was also moved to another orbit, just in case, the zone of israel fell in the zone of operation of this soup of the russian satellite, that is, in fact, we can say that they knew, prepared and provided assistance not at all to israel, but to those countries that began, well, these actions with the attack by hamas on israel, but but
