life looks like on the border with russia. racists do not spare even hail in order to destroy ordinary civilian, private houses. these fires were once mr. victor's house. the russians decided that this 77-year-old pensioner was too dangerous, so they hit his house with three hailstones. one shot, under the second, i already managed to raise it in my hands. at this time, the third, like a sharrahnet, the fire flew, the curtains in the bedroom jumped out, and i was here behind the wall, in a few minutes of our conversation with mr. victor, a dozen explosions rang out in the city, a dog was killed here, a chair was standing here, that's how it was, here's the territory contour, here it is, it's here sharahnoe, here it is 7 m from me , there it is, the city of friendship was unlucky

to be located only 8 km from the border with an unfriendly country. the rashists are constantly firing at him. it is necessary to press everything quickly, therefore, because we are in the sector, we will be shelled mainly on the right, to the left of the mine. yevgeny kryvonos's firefighting unit barely has time to overcome the consequences of russian terror. we have from september to now. it was very hot. the city is being shelled from heavy artillery, mortars and rocket launchers. occupiers hit residential buildings and civil infrastructure. the flight was directly into the building, the finance office. this is the druzhbiv city council. the russians shelled it on october 1. here is this one.

there was a direct flight from the hail to the room, almost everything was destroyed, upon arrival, the entire roof was engulfed in flames, thank god that it did not fall on the market, this was a resurrection, so people would have suffered, do you understand or not, people would have suffered, it simply spread, today there are several thousand people living in friendship, all of them, as in other border towns of sumy oblast, potential victims of ruskav... peace, so that all your property was destroyed, yes all of it, all of it, there were documents, there were televisions, i looked, yes, i had everything there, there was a lot of things here for three lives, we actually don't have any security, you yourself perfectly understand, we now depend on ourselves, artem lagutenko, oleksiy kutsuk, from sumy region, espresso tv channel. the blockade has been going on for the third week. on the polish-ukrainian border, which

leads to economic losses and even human losses. while the polish prosecutor's office is studying the circumstances of the death of two ukrainian drivers, the general situation is worsening. since now humanitarian cargoes, which are extremely necessary for ukraine, cannot pass, as well as fuel tankers. this week , a group of farmers joined the polish blockers. since november 23, the fourth and last checkpoint for trucks has been blocked. ukraine began collecting data for the evacuation of truckers stuck on the border with poland. everyone who shows such a desire will be deported. deputy minister of development of communities and territories and infrastructure, serhii derkach stated: at the working and official levels , issues regarding food, the rotation of fast fire trucks, and proper sanitary conditions were repeatedly raised. in the meantime, due to the blockade on the polish border, the situation

at checkpoints with slovakia and hungary is also becoming more complicated, as drivers choose other routes to cross the western border. so, what is currently happening on the polish-ukrainian border and what losses ukraine is suffering, our correspondent natalka starepravo found out. several thousand ukrainians carriers were held hostage at the polish border. most of them have been standing for the second week. supplies are running out. of hot water in order not to block the autobahn, the polish police turn trucks to stops around the highway, ukrainian drivers have to stand in the middle of the forest or in a field where there are no heating points or other basic conditions. they take four cars for two hours, which is very little, and the tanks block them, turn the cars back, something like that, they turn back, very much, but why do they turn them back, and you want chaos. and the conditions there

there are none at all, there are no conditions there at all, i just arrived, there for the whole train, what with the advice to the shoguns, to the doctor, four toilets or five. in toilets 30 km away, which is what we are talking about, people are running out of food and products there, according to ukrainian carriers, the poles selectively skip humanitarian aid and fuel. on thursday , the second driver died at the blocked polish border, because of this the embassy of ukraine appealed to the ministry of foreign affairs of poland, because the strike of polish carriers threatens the lives and health of our citizens. we bear the loss, because the cars have to work, they have to earn money, and this is how we pay the drivers salaries, because they, well, they work , they sit in place, they work, we have to pay them, and the companies are in losses, we have loans, we have leasing

, we have a contract, let's say we need to export 90 more cars from poland, but we won't export them, or that's it, until the end of the year, otherwise it goes, count, but we have to carry out one contract. plasterboard, which is needed in the east, where the repairs are going, where the houses are being repaired, and we do not take it, because everything is at the border. in response to the blockade border, on november 21, ukrainian truck drivers held an action near the krakow checkpoint kurchova, the head of the organization of international truck carriers of ukraine says: the blockade harms not only ukraine, but also poland, and nullifies its assistance to our state. can understand how exactly we create competition for them, since we do not have the right to carry out transportation in europe, we can do from ukraine to europe, for example, from ukraine to poland, ukraine-germany, ukraine there, i don't know, denmark and back and that's all, but polish the carrier can carry out transportation

within europe, and this is allowed, because they are members of the european union, so we are definitely not their competitors, blocking the border already affects critical supplies of energy resources. gas at ukrainian gas stations is becoming more expensive and in some places it is disappearing, says serhiy kuyun, director of the a-95 consulting group. on thursday, polish strikers blocked another crossing point - medica shagini. thus , all four crossings with poland are blocked for cargo. check point: yagodin dorogusk, polish strikers threaten to block until february 1, 2024, they don't like ukrainians occupying the workforce. places and gained access to the eu market. according to the european business association, ukraine loses approximately one million hryvnias during one day of cargo blockade. and while on the one hand, russia is blocking the sea route, on the other, the poles have taken away from us the opportunity to import the necessary goods by road.

rafal mekler is the official organizer of blocking the ukrainian border with poland. he is the owner of a transport company and the head of the cell pro-russian confederation of freedom and independence. his company carried out transportation to the territory of belarus and russia. since the start of the full-scale war , meckler's employees have repeatedly protested demanding the lifting of economic sanctions against russia. the strike is political in nature. i believe that everyone is interested in this situation: firstly, protectionist forces, secondly - nationalist forces, thirdly. the forces are interested in worsening polish-ukrainian relations, they are working to weaken ukraine, because this situation also complicates the export of goods from of ukraine, which are intended for foreign markets. the blockade of the border for the movement of trucks continues, in fact, during the period of interregnum in poland.

formally , law and justice with prime minister moraviatsky still remains the leading party. in mid-december , a new government will be formed by donald tusk, and all the problems with the blockade. he will have to decide, he tries the right and justice to form a coalition of his deputies from the confederation and to persuade deputies from other political forces that entered this structure, this is one plan, plan a, and plan b is to create, the more problems in poland, when power is transferred there to tusk, he will already have... a lot of problems and he will have to solve these problems. the association of international carriers of ukraine is preparing a lawsuit against the polish protesters. if the government of poland does not convince its carriers to end the blockade, the european commission can help the situation. for example, block poland's

access to european money, as is the case with hungary. natalya stareprevo, andriy polikovskyi, espresso tv channel. no wonder everyone is now. talk about the involvement of the russian special services in the blocking of the polish one border, because the official organizer of the blockade is rafal mekler, who is a representative of the branch of the pro-russian confederation of freedom and independence party in the lublin voivodeship, and this political force has close ties to moscow. so, what the polish carriers really want and why the polish authorities can't stop it all, we will talk further. ilya neskhodovskyi, head of the analytical direction of the ans network, is in touch with us. mr. ilya, i congratulate you. i congratulate you. so, in general, the polish carriers are out of business. ukraine has six demands, about which

said the deputy minister of community development, territories and infrastructure, serhii derkach, we will not voice them all now, because we have done it more than once, but even during the tripartite meeting on the polish border , we came to the point that it is impossible to satisfy the demands, because it depends not only on the ukrainian parties so what do the polish strikers really want, and what are the real reasons? well, i would like to correct this point a little bit, for example, it was determined that why the polish authorities cannot stop this, i will say more, the polish authorities at the moment the moment supports this protest, because it is not polish carriers, those who represent, sorry, there are 15 people standing with couples, and this is absolutely something that could stop the international beauty. second. at the same time, they violate both polish and european legislation, european requirements that do not

allow blocking international routes. the police, who are present there, do not disperse them, they actually stop any movements by ukrainian drivers. we already have more than 1,000 cars stuck on the ukrainian border, and that's not all stop, they are actually that, that force, the polish police, which is exclusively aimed at that. to support this protest, that is why it all happens with and maybe not on the initiative, but definitely with the support of the polish authorities, as one commentator very correctly pointed out to you there, respectively, that the forces of nationalists and protectionists coincided there, and the protectionist is one of points so that you understand that ukrainians do not compete with poles within the european union, they do not have the right to transport goods there and the only

the possibility is the registration of a polish company and further transportation , but today it is certainly not the volume that would create competition for the poles, at the same time, the poles simply set their sights on transportation from and to ukraine, i will explain why, the first moment, this , so that you understand the volume, the cost of transportation from ukraine and to ukraine is one thing: transportation costs somewhere from approximately 1,500 € and today 6,000 € due to downtime, which is approximately 3,000 €, if you take the average transportation, ukrainians have already made a million shipments, that's 3 billion dollars, and in fact these carriers have set their eyes on this volume and want to raid it, raid it from the ukrainians, and they faced the following...' these problems, those carriers, polish carriers who went to ukraine, the poles did not go there,

ukrainians who were employed by polish companies went, as a result, now these ukrainians, who before the war started, they were in poland, stayed there, they now refuse to go to ukraine, because you understand that as soon as they cross the border, they will be sent back no one does will release, that is, they will remain in ukraine, and their first demand is precisely that ukrainian drivers transport ukrainian goods for polish companies, and they will receive profits, this is entirely a matter of money, poland decided to simply raid ukrainian transportation, so that they are carried out by polish companies , ukrainian drivers, and the profits and funds went directly to them, so i consider the position of the poles to be very weak, completely unfounded, we should go to the european

union and demand compensation, which, accordingly, now we are not the losses that we bear, this is the first moment, but the second moment and also , perhaps the same germans, french , and italians who were pushed out of their markets by polish carriers at one time should do the same ... the borders with poland, so that they do not have the opportunity to enter the markets of the respective countries, therefore, well, actually speaking, you almost, almost gave answers to... all my questions, i wanted to ask you on behalf of the polish authorities, you started with this to give your first answer, the european commission has promised to apply a punitive procedure against poland if the polish authorities do not resolve the issue of blocking checkpoints on the border with ukraine, but if this has been discussed many times, why is the polish government not afraid of this, why does it not

solve this problem, and what are the ways to develop you see the development of this situation, you have already said a few words about it, actually. what was said, but maybe you can add something else? well, i would perhaps add the following here, so that we understand how the poles act, how the poles acted under at the time of joining the european union, and in principle, they do not understand why they should act differently in relation to ukraine, which is much weaker than, for example, germany, when they were negotiating, they strongly defended all their... economies, received huge subsidies, including for their farmers , including for their economy, received huge investments where necessary, on the contrary, they acted that pragmatism, the same as france, spain, italy, it unreasonable, and therefore polish carriers have to enter these markets, and therefore they will act in the same way

in ukraine, to be honest, ukrainians, well, we cannot say. that in this context, that we are really partners, they act exclusively in their own interests, and when they helped us, and it is a huge thanks to the poles that they helped us, but we must not forget that every help, it was always compensated by the european union, including military aid at one time last year, they did not hand over the planes to us, because they did not receive confirmation that from the u.s. will provide the appropriate...' native more modern aircraft instead of the old soviet aircraft, which they will transfer to ukraine, how to act, only appeal to the european union and raise this issue to another level, we will not agree with poland. i thank you, mr. ilya, for your detailed explanations, and we were contacted by ilya ne

skhodovskyi, head of the analytical direction of the anc network. and we are moving on. and meanwhile , from december 1, the government is introducing an electronic accounting system for the import of humanitarian aid to ukraine. the changes will mostly concern charitable foundations and public organizations. at the numerous requests of volunteers, the electronic declaration procedure will operate voluntarily until april 1. at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia and to this day , humanitarian cargo was imported according to a simplified scheme. the government made concessions, because due to the new rules, aid for the military may be reduced by 80%. according to the innovations, the recipient of humanitarian cargo can only be a legal entity that has registered in the electronic cabinet, that is, they are funds or military units. access to the office will be via an electronic

key that only the manager will have. charitable organizations must also have... acts of receiving reports from military personnel to whom aid was given. volunteers note that, in general , the initiative is good, because control over humanitarian cargo is needed, but there are also negatives from the introduction of the electronic system. yes, with the new rules, the import of cars for the front from abroad can be completely stopped. the charity will not be able to enter the vehicle on itself, but he will be able to enter the vehicle. to the military unit, and in fact, the question is whether the military unit is ready to take this vehicle on balance, from practical experience, i know that in many cases the military units were not ready to take it on balance vehicles. the main advantage of this electronic declaration is that it is easier

to control the receipt of humanitarian aid and its distribution, that is, everyone knows that there have been many cases. when humanitarian aid was imported, and then it was located somewhere it dissolved in warehouses there or in some other way, let's call it that. 10 years on the air, on november 24, 2013, the espresso tv channel began broadcasting. as then during the revolution of dignity, so today. we continue to defend ukrainian and european values. and some of our colleagues went to fight. to the front and defend our country there, so we want to tell you about them further. ilya beryenko woke up on february 24, like most ukrainians, and on the same day he was one of the first to go to the military with the espresso tv channel. despite all the risks of bullets and rowboats of the security forces , the entire maidan was almost burned alive on

hrushevsky, and now, after being wounded at the front, ilya continues to defend ukrainians from the onslaught of the russian horde. there were no positions of ours, there was nothing, and they were already completely destroyed, that is, they fired simply at the civilian infrastructure and not only the infrastructure, but also simply at the houses there. i was also very surprised by the people who did not leave bahmud there, even when he had little left there. vitaly bakumenko, professional tv presenter of novyn. yes, something is being hidden in the city, very powerful, constantly flying somewhere nearby, and from the very beginning of the great war, risking his life, he retrained as a war correspondent. volleys from the alert game. and shells made reports and important inclusions from the hottest points of the front, and later joined the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine. we are now in avdiivka, yesterday there was an assault, an assault on the city, as

we were told by the military, the russians, at around one o'clock in the afternoon, they started a mass assault. serhiy, the guest editor of espresso, also had a cozy place. didenko, talked with interesting people, invited distinguished guests, experts, political scientists, deputies, and he went to defend ukraine. ilya yevlash is another pride of the tv channel. he came to the tv channel as a student of the kyiv-megylian academy. even during the coronavirus epidemic in 2021, he was not afraid and did not hide from mobilization and became. now ilya manages the press service. of the eastern group of forces of the defense forces of ukraine talks about the disintegration of the wagnerites, at the end of this spring, at the beginning of summer, colonel-general oleksandr

syrskyi, the commander of the eastern group of forces, said in an interview with abc that with wagner is finished once and for all, you already know these, the remnants that remain from this criminal organization, they are simply thrown here to be disposed of, so that they can already redeem themselves with blood. tetyana chornovol, who ran her own analytical program at espresso a year before the full-scale war, is also at the front, now she is the commander of the fire calculation of the stugna anti-tank missile defense system. unfortunately, the war is not without losses. last october, espresso was stunned by the tragic news of the death of our colleague vasyl yavorskyi. he was very patriotic determined and worked as a director for many years. joined the defense of ukrainians immediately in the first days of the full-scale russian invasion, performed combat missions in the hot areas of the donetsk front. the decision of

espresso presenter and journalist yevhen miklushka was also unpredictable. after the full-scale invasion, he continued to run the collaborator program for a very short time. in november 2022 , he wrote on his social networks. now i will look for traitors, invaders and their equipment, not in the registers and the network, but behind with the help of drones and not only. i appreciate each of my colleagues for their uncompromisingness, professionalism and pro-ukrainian point of view. let's move together to victory, both in newsrooms and at the front, and we will celebrate a great victory together. the director of the espresso montage, iryna lyutkevich, surprised her colleagues by posting a photo on facebook with a laconic comment: i serve the ukrainian people, since the beginning of the large-scale war , i have regularly helped the army, first as a humanitarian, cooking food for the military, and

later in august 2023, she joined the ranks of the armed forces of ukraine. together they went to great heights, to the great goals, fought together and won together, because together we will definitely win. yours truly, iryna litkevich, editing director of the tv channel. and today a serviceman of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, yehor chicherinda , tv channel host and journalist, from now on has the rank of captain, yesterday he was on the air, talking to political experts and analysts, and today he is a serviceman. yehor checherinda was a patriot of ukraine all his life. during his school years, he was a member of the student fraternity in zaporizhzhia, held actions in support of the student hunger strike in kyiv and in zaporizhzhia in october 1990. subsequently, he participated in the orange revolution and the revolution of dignity. most people do not want freedom,

because their freedom implies responsibility, and responsibility scares most people. dear friends, as of today, unfortunately, i am no longer a journalist of the tv channel. war makes adjustments in the lives of each of us, and defense forces are a priority. thanks for the long creative years to everyone involved, who was close to me. this year , film and television producer leonid joined love zsu knyazhytskyi at espresso, he produced filming for a tv channel abroad, and now he is fighting near bakhmut as a deputy battery commander. this is how our team saw this week. wait for the next edition of the news and summary of the week on the espresso tv channel on saturday at 9 pm and on sunday at 9 am. i, iryna koval, was with you. keep yourselves.
