news editors, thank you iryna koval, they manage to keep all our viewers informed, and i am no exception, thank you iryna, who is picking up the baton, and now i will analyze the far from easy situation in hungary and slovakia, dmytro is in touch with us tuzhanskyi, the director of the institute of central european strategy, is an extremely well-informed person as far as the internal political kitchen in those central european states is concerned. glory to ukraine, mr. dmytro, i congratulate you. glory to heroes. good day. well, slovak slovak carriers were bitten by polish carriers, but a certain miracle happened. it was possible to positively influence them in one way or another. from the german cherry. this is such a checkpoint on the ukrainian-slovak border, the blockade was lifted. what do you think? happened on the ukrainian-slovak border?

uh, the market and money were in trouble, crazy losses, on both sides, it's one thing, you know, on emotions, so block it, because you're there , well, let's say, you don't earn as much as you used to earn, but when you start losing serious money every day, you know you start to consider, eh, and well, accordingly, a logical decision, i really expect that this factor... of money and losses also works on the polish border, there is also a compromise or unblocking unilaterally, that is, i do not see any such policy here or conspiracies, to be honest, i was pleasantly surprised by the position of the slovak government, yes, which did not start speculating on this issue , somehow, you know, to disperse all this irresponsible populism, on the contrary , constructive negotiations were going on with the party, actually with the carriers, so, well, so far- less

optimistic, although again, i even talked to several entrepreneurs who are very dependent on this business, on the border, on exports, and the losses are already crazy, mr. dmytro, stay in touch, i have to to make an emergency message, so russian interventionists, war criminals fired at chornobayivka with cluster munitions, at least three people were killed, and it is also known about four wounded. this is reported by the kherson regional military administration. well, more, we will know a little later, with us on of communication, dmytro tuzhanskyi, director of the institute of central european strategy. we are talking, in particular, now about the slovak government, and robert fico, yes , who was criticized a lot during the election campaign, who made a lot of rather unpleasant public statements, there is a feeling that he decided not to raise the level of escalation to the orban

heights, so that what is happening now with fizo? he is busy with internal affairs, it is quite , well, yes, let's say this, predicted, and it seems to me, the best scenario for ukraine, when, robert fitso plunged into the internal politics, there is something to do, he, by the way, is very busy right now...' it is possible to adjust the work of his government, because he was ready for revenge, but he was not ready to manage the country, there individual ministries were headed by people who, well yes for an insider. the information is directly said, we do not want to work here, that is, you can imagine the state in which individual directions can be, yes, that is, he is busy with this, but i still would not take slovak lightly and no, let's say, well, i would not become famous, so that after all, a fitzopolist, a fitzo, a person who likes to bargain, who

he knows how to negotiate, he is very experienced, he knows well how european politics works, how slovak politics works, that's it, you have to , you still have to uh, keep your finger on the pulse and , you know, not act like we do country have been acting until now, when you know, if there are no problems with a certain country, especially a neighboring country, then we forget about it, after all, we need to appreciate what slovakia has done and establish, you know, such projected long-term relations, well, no difference, who is in power there, whether it is a fizo or well, let's say yes, a more pro-european, pro-ukrainian government, as there was before him, and with regard to ukraine , robert fico and the new slovak government have some problems, maybe articulated and not articulated, yes, because i completely agree with you, we simply do not have the right to take it lightly

relations with the so-called visegrad four, do you understand what the matter is, that robert fico does not know ukraine, he does not understand it, as well as, by the way, like viktor orban, he saw...' orban understood how we, let's say, to use, how to take us hostage, how to trade us, fitso, on happiness, well, he does not choose this tactic yet, but for him ukraine is something distant, unfamiliar, stereotyped, i am not sure that he still distinguishes us from the russians, that is , you know, it is very important for us to stare, by the way, with romanians and with the same hungarians, to start with very basic things, to explain, you know, some such basic worldviews. things, why we are not russia, why russian-speaking ukrainians are not russians and they are not pro-russian, why we do not want to be with russia, why are we fighting against this aggression, you know, these things are still not fully grasped, some of them still believe in some kind of, you know, conspiracy, influence, i don't know, there soros and the state department, yes,

yes, it's funny, but this is what is discussed in the offices, there, well , sir, you are so gradually, gently, but still leading to viktor orban , with his anti-orban , conspiracy theory in general, yes, that is , we understand from the other side, the only thing i do not agree with is that orban does not fully understand ukraine , i am afraid that he understands her, but he does not receive instructions or hints from kyiv, yes, his visits to putin, friendly communication in general with the kremlin, and economic interests. orban's environment, they testify, so that he will play on putin's side, well, in any case, what concerns, for example, ukrainian interests, i want to believe that no, so that he will suddenly sober up and understand what he is russian aggression against ukraine, but currently orban's steps are not just disturbing, they are harmful steps, well

, for example, he has already sent a letter to the head of the european council and threatens to block all decisions regarding the financing of ukraine from of the european union, this is a very serious story, come on now, let's analyze this case with you now, look, i have to explain, don't expect that orbán will insist on our understanding, and i would, for example, of course, these relations between budapest and the kremlin, between moscow, orban and putin, this is a big question, there are too many coincidences to simply write it off, you know, not a coincidence. actually, but one must understand that viktor orban himself wants to be pro-russian in our understanding, he himself wants to consult with putin, trade with him, for example, trade ukraine with putin, this is his tactic, we must finally realize this and understand how we can counteract it, that is, change , i don’t know, some kind of veto, somewhere blocking something for

additional gas supplies or loans for paksh, this is a conscious action of viktor orban, this not blackmail from putin's side, you understand how serious everything is, the same with this letter to charles michel, this is conscious blackmail, conscious trade, you know, this is part of this game of viktor orban, who wants to trade, well , for now, in particular, ukraine with everyone, with the kremlin, with brussels, well, there in the 17th year we see obvious trade with washington , so it is, you know, like orban's game, it is very cynical, in his opinion, this is his most cheeky behavior, that is, you will understand, he, well, of course focuses on some such strange narratives in conspiracy theory and so on, but he acts, well, not pragmatically, he acts cynically, narcissistically, voluntarily, and he 's not going to change, because everything he does shows him that he's doing the right thing, in his rating in the country is 50%,

there are no competitors, he is just enjoying himself with this one-axis power , captured by the state, everything is fine with him, well, he is a kind of transylvanian lukashenko, so from the other side we understand that, unlike lukashenko, he is moored to the european financial feeder. and we understand that eurobureaucrats, so to speak, wear the white shirts of the crib, but in the event of something, they can hit orbanov in the nose with a bundle of euros and not give them , you see, and he should also take this into account, on the other hand, we understand what the fear of the european union, in particular in brussels, is afraid that a precedent may simply happen, in particular, it is about the possibility of one or another state withdrawing from membership in... the european union, we would not like to allow this either. in your opinion, how far will the european commission be willing to go in order to somewhat diminish orbán's geopolitical interests?

i hope, as i see it, it will go as far as it needs to go, that is, it is very good that mr. hahn, who has been working at the european commission for about as long as viktor orbán is in power, that is, he. understands all his tricks, how he leads the same people in circles, by the nose, with the same tricks, deceives different teams, i.e. the campaign that viktor orbán started now , the opposing president of the european commission, he did it against juncker in 2018 , he got away with it because people were changing, mr. gan remembers that viktor orbán's money problems started with eu money, i mean, not in 2020, when this peg mechanism started working... to supremacy the rights of the structural funds, and even earlier, hungary was fined before, it was just not a matter of, you know, such public discussions, and this is incredibly annoying to viktor orbán, so that the european commission

has found tools and that is why he is raising rates, yes, that is, you have to understand , that this ultimatum, and such aggressiveness, i would even say viktor orban, it is because he really needs it, he is sick and the european commission is already working, he. feels the moment that it must be done now or never, you know, in this mode, and thirdly, he is very good, viktor orbán understands all these weaknesses of the european union, how much it is bureaucratized, slow and how important unity is for the european union, not that viktor orbán wants to destroy this unity or leave the european union, he just wants to use this unity as much as possible, you know , very cynically for himself, i.e. vytor...' the maximum amount of money, preference, some kind of, well , i don't know, additional status, but for the past, this election cycle, in the european union, he bargained

for money, he bargained for a very important position in the european commission, this is the european commissioner for enlargement, this mr. bargey, who drinks a lot and gets on our nerves, that's it, you know, the new trading cycle, well, you know , everything really depends now, well, not everything, but i think that the time has come for ukraine and brussels to work as coordinated as possible in the so-called hungarian question. mr. dmytro, i would like to turn now to the so-called hungarian issue, i would like our tv viewers to very clearly distinguish, so to speak, orbán from hungary and from hungarians. that is, orbán is about politics, individual ambitions, not only about that, hungary is a beautiful country, hungarians are a proud people who experienced many difficult trials in the 20th century, yes, they have their own historical traumas, ethnic traumas and so on, and so on, here is the question of a wise, correct policy

on the part of ukraine, we understand that we can issue certain ultimatums, ultimatums and to aggravate the situation, so on the other hand, you have to be wise, yes , you are absolutely right, for example, i consider the opinion, proposals... different narratives that are being discussed here in ukraine, that somehow we have in this matter, i don't know , use to somehow blackmail budapest with some status or rights of the hungarian national minority in ukraine, that is, this issue should be considered separately, because the hungarian national minority are our citizens, we need not to negotiate with them, yes, but to hear their needs, interests, i i know, legislative proposals are currently being prepared to, i don't know, to improve, to introduce changes in the legislation on the rights of national minorities, there and this applies to local self-government, advertising, language issues, educational issues, that is, we need to organize it one way or another according to the standards of the european union and not only for hungarians, yes, there are

questions there. to romanians, to bulgarians, that is, it is important for us to do this from the point of view of our responsibilities to our citizens and regarding our accession to the european union, yes, er, it is also important for us, you know, to destroy or get rid of these stereotypes about hungarian national minority in ukraine, in zakarpattia, that it is some kind of separatist sentiment there, or some evasion there, i have, well, not a lot, but i can name up to 10 people i know, friends, hungarians who, well, many of them left voluntarily join the armed forces of ukraine, some of them have a hungarian passport, they are not advanced now, unlike me, for example, this does not make them, you know, some kind of disloyal citizens of ukraine, that is, we have to be very wise, we have to share conditional there is the rudeness and blackmail of viktor orbán, well, if you answer in the same style, then answer

not publicly, but if in... you know, rorban wants , you know, such a manly, i don't know, street conversation, as he says, he calls himself a street fighter , then it should be held behind closed doors, i.e avoid these public quarrels, and work directly with budapest and work through intermediaries, today, for example, i do not imagine that viktor orbán would refuse emmanuel macron, even if they are ideologically in different camps, one is a liberal, the other is a conservative, but still viktor orban is focusing, well, on paris as much as possible today. thank you, mr. dmytro, an extremely interesting opinion, dmytro tuzhanskyi advises to go, so to speak, look for viktor orbán's weak points with the help of our friend, president macron. he was in touch with us now dmytro tuzhanskyi, director of the institute of central european strategy, now there is a short pause, after which the espresso broadcast will continue in the mode you are used to, please wait. i have a cold. books on
