shelter, food establishment or shop. is this normal? so. in the fund of protective structures there are rooms with a dual purpose. they can simultaneously be a shelter and be used for another purpose. but if this place is on the shelter map, you can hide there during an alarm. everyone has the right to be safe. we continue to talk about the most important thing. the blockade continues for the third week. the polish-ukrainian border, it leads not only to economic losses, but also to human losses. while the polish prosecutor's office is studying the circumstances of the death two ukrainian drivers, the general situation is worsening, this week a group of farmers joined the polish blockers. ukraine began to collect data for the evacuation of truckers stuck on the border with poland, what is happening on the polish-ukrainian border and what losses ukrainian business is suffering, she found out. my colleague natalka starepravo.

several thousand ukrainian carriers were held hostage at the polish border. most of them have been standing for the second week. stocks of food, water and fuel are replenished, in order not to block the autobahn, the polish police turn trucks 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 it for two hours. they block, they turn the cars back, something like that is going on, but why do they turn it back, but you want to, without power, and there are no conditions there at all, there are no conditions there at all, i just came there for the entire train from radimnoy to shigen, to the medical center, four toilet or five toilets for 30 km, what are we talking about? people have products and food there

end according to the 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 incur losses because the machines have to work, they have to make money. and this is how we pay the drivers salaries, because they, well, they work, they sit still, they work, we eat we have to pay, and the company is in losses, we have loans, we have leasing, we have a contract , let’s say we need to export another 90 cars from poland, but we won’t export them, or that’s it, until the end of the year, otherwise it goes, count , but according to one contract, plasterboard must be introduced, which is needed in the east, and where the repairs are going.

where houses are being repaired, and we do not take it, because everything is at the border, in response to the blockade of the border on november 21, ukrainian truck drivers held an action near the krakiwiec-korchova checkpoint, the head of the organization of international truck carriers of ukraine says: blocking harms not only ukraine, but also poland, and nullifies its assistance to our state. we cannot understand how exactly we create competition for them. only 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, there is ukraine, i do not know, denmark, and back and everything, and the polish 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 border is already affecting critically important supplies of energy resources, gas at ukrainian gas stations is becoming more expensive and in some places - says

serhii kuyun, director of the a95 consulting group. on thursday, polish strikers blocked another checkpoint - medicogyny. in this way, the cargo was blocked. all four crossings with poland, checkpoint: yagodin dorogusk, polish strikers threaten to block until february 1, 2024, they do not like that ukrainians are taking jobs and have gained access to the eu market. according to the european business association, for one on the day of the cargo blockade, ukraine loses approximately one million hryvnias, and while russia is blocking the sea route on one side, the poles are on the other. took from us the opportunity to import the necessary goods by road. rafel mekler is the official organizer of blocking the ukrainian border with poland. he is the owner of a transport company and the head of a branch of the pro-russian confederation of freedom and independence party. his company carried out

transportation to the territory of belarus and russia. since the start of the full-scale war, meckler's workers have repeatedly protested with demands lift economic sanctions against russia. the strike has a political character, i believe that all are interested in this situation, firstly, protectionist forces, secondly - nationalist forces, thirdly, forces interested in worsening polish-ukrainian relations. they are working to weaken ukraine, because this situation also makes it difficult to export goods from ukraine that are destined for foreign markets. the blockade of the border for the movement of trucks continues. in fact, during the inter-government period in poland, the formally leading party is still law and justice with the prime minister moravian donald tusk will form a new government in mid-december, and he will have to solve all the problems with the blockade. it is

right and fair to try to form a coalition of its deputies from the confederation and to persuade deputies from other political forces that entered. in this structure, there is one plan, plan a, and plan b is to create as many problems as possible in poland, when the power there is transferred to tusk, he will already have a lot of problems and he needs to solve these problems, the association of international carriers of ukraine are 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 stareprava, andriy polikovskyi, espresso tv channel. and we add to this topic the conversation about it, volodymyr balin, vice-president

of the association of international motor carriers. mr. volodymyr, i congratulate you and glory to ukraine. glory to the heroes, congratulations. well, the association of international motor carriers is ready to go to court. solve the problem with the blockade russian-polish border, and tell me , please, is there enough of a basis for this claim to be successful in your opinion, and what exactly do we hope for in this story? as for the formation of the base, here you said correctly, the judicial system in poland, well, it so happened that i was forced to study certain things and shortcomings. just to file a lawsuit, moreover, we cannot afford to lose this lawsuit, now a lot of preparatory work is going on with obtaining information from the communes that granted permits for this action, precisely

the decisions of the commune will be appealed at the first stage, mr. volodymyr, i did not fully understand the situation with humanitarian, humanitarian cargo and dangerous cargo, the fact is that serhiy derkach, deputy minister of community development of the infrastructure territory, after talking with polish carriers, was sure of that , that such cargoes are allowed through, but there is information that this may not correspond to reality, that not all humanitarian aid, and certainly not all dangerous cargoes, reach ukraine, where it is now very necessary, which do you have the information look, well, according to our information, the situation in korchov is more or less settled, why, because there are two storage units, a vehicle arrives and records that it is carrying a humanitarian aid or a dangerous vehicle, or a perishable one, then

the relevant information is received by the border guards, the police , and they first take these cars to the checkpoint, as for the other three checkpoints, unfortunately, there is a live queue there. that is, in fact, in any case, the car gets in line. the police should take away cars from this queue and lead them to the border. uh, our transporters were also on the polish side yesterday, they talked to the strikers, they talked to the police, and the strikers say that everything, everything, humanitarianly dangerous leather goods are coming, we let everything go, yes or no, well, one thing, they told our colleagues, the transporters, what they are doing is another matter, the police, by the way, said that in derakhutsk they take two dangerous cargoes for an hour and take them to the strikers and take them out of line, to the question, why two, why not five, they said, well, we do

decided, that is, the situation is like this, on the one hand, there are strikers who somehow see themselves as the future development of events, and there is the police , who actually manage the processes on the road, and indeed mr. derkach, when he was at the border last time, he went to the car with dangerous, called the police, said that why is she standing here on the road. you have to take her there, she has to go, and the police took her and took her, but , there are their own rules, so the situation is like this, ugh, in this whole story, what place and what position are they taking in general, maybe according to yours it is the polish border guards who are tracking them, look, well, we have to understand that customs and border guards are at checkpoints and there is a certain distance between them and the construction workers.

that is, in fact, all the vehicles that come to the checkpoint, they start and clear them, do they do it slowly or quickly, it's hard to say, because it's a completely different flow of cars than the one that usually goes, so we don't have information about whether that they somehow, well, don't allow our cars to drive, although there was information on the papers that the polish started the car. ukrainian was not allowed until we have such confirmed, fixed, concrete information. in general, mr. volodymyr, the purpose of this strike and this blockade is already clear to you, more and more information is emerging that the russian federation and politicians, polish politicians who may be affiliated with it, could not do without the ears here either, but is it really here... the point is unwillingness to compete with ukrainian

carriers in a healthy way, or are there any other reasons? well, my colleague already said in your broadcast, regarding that the work that polish carriers can do in the european union, we cannot do it, we have a direct ban, the agreement with ukraine, on the contrary, gave us the opportunity to come to us from any european country. union without permits, as far as our work is concerned, we communicate with transporters who are not on strike, but wholeheartedly support the return of permits, their ideology is that let's return, let 's return to permits, let's take your goods to poland , and we will deliver from poland all over europe, and on the contrary, we will bring it to poland, and you will pick it up and drive it to the hubs. you know, this is the situation when there is old europe, new europe, and here our brothers, the poles, say, and you are generally

third-class carriers, so i am sure that i am ready to prove at any level that today there are no advantages in ukrainian carriers in front of the poles, except for one, no polish company today wants to go to the territory of ukraine, because there is a war there, only 15% are non-residents at first. a step was crossed borders, about 10 of them are poles, and there are many, many reasons , moreover, believe me, for most of them, even if they are carrying humanitarian goods or goods needed there for the needs of the front, they still do not go further to kyiv , they overload somewhere here, or in nearby regions or in kyiv and go back, others have certain contracts, certain obligations travel, but if before the great war they were 35% in this market. ukraine-poland, today there are only 10, and here it is not a question of competition, here the question is purely security, even at points

checkpoints, unfortunately, we already had two incidents when enemy drones flew into the checkpoints, and we had losses of both rolling stock and cargo, and unfortunately, there were casualties among the drivers. mr. volodymyr, is it possible to treat the losses, as of today. in fact, our road transport business and in general losses are possible even for the state in this sense, well, this week the national bank expressed itself: that the state of ukraine has already lost more than 400 million, we really see the losses of our carriers, there are also exporters, importers, they will make crazy losses, what the european business association said there, some companies are losing a million hryvnias a day, and moreover, today the companies that i

am talking to about our unblocking lawsuits, they say, the issue here is not that we will receive compensation tomorrow after... tomorrow in a month, the issue is that today we need to unblock the border, otherwise our enterprise will simply stop, and this is a critical situation, unfortunately, in many budget-opening enterprises of ukraine. moreover, i am sure that polish companies, a large number of them also suffer from this blocking, these are not carriers, of course, these are other manufacturers who had close cooperation with our companies, and today are forced to... turn production, eh, but about the losses that we count every day today , we must add to them the fact that our ee com those companies that work with the ukrainian market, they are thinking more and more about whether there is a need to conclude agreements for the next year, or whether it is easier

to find the same goods that they are imported from ukraine today, find them on the territory of the european union, in particular in the same poland. make agreements and calmly understand that there will be no queues and in two, two or three days the goods from poland will arrive there, for example in italy or in spain or france, no borders, no obstacles, and this is very much the situation that exists today is on the border, it has a very substantial effect on the strategic development of our export potential. so. mr. volodymyr, finally, after all, 20 drivers who are stuck on the border with poland want to evacuate. polish carriers involved in the blockade border, do not want to make any pauses in the blockade, we always say that people are important for ukraine, and this is true, what prospects do we have to save as many lives and health as possible of our people who are currently stuck in this situation, all applications

received by the ministry of infrastructure are being processed and will be offered to all drivers, without exception, who are ready... to evacuate, they will be taken away and later, when it becomes necessary to return them back. at the moment, we have information from the ministry of infrastructure, we are maintaining it, or we can provide assistance in case needs from our side, but i want to say that there are much more drivers there, and one must understand that the cargo that is in the trucks is the responsibility of the carrier and the driver, and therefore just leaving the car somewhere on the road is a wrong story , it is necessary to put it somewhere, it is better to pass it on. responsible storage and so on and so on, there are certain, certain mechanisms, i still want not to believe that we will be able to unblock the border and everything will go the way it should go. thank you, volodymyr balin, vice president of the association of international motor carriers was in touch with us about the problems of blocking by polish motor carriers,

the polish-ukrainian border, and let's remind you that poland also went through the stage of... accession and the previous, let's say, stages of joining the european union, and also offered favorable conditions, offered high-quality services , which is why it actually won, and none of the countries, which was, was and had any important role in this or that business in the european union, did not block and did not lead to deaths among representatives namely... poland and polish business, so we really hope for a balanced position and we hope that these russian ears, which we talked about a little earlier, will be liquidated, and understanding is what awaits ukraine - polish relations are very soon, thank you, and i say goodbye to you on this, my name is khrystyna

to send them a new one as soon as possible. a car at the front , especially in the winter, is everything for our soldiers, without it it is much, much more difficult to fight, let's help, collect funds and buy a car for our defenders. the car has already been found, it remains to buy it. cars at the front are expendable, they are constantly destroyed. therefore donate and help our armed forces, support our rally together to victory. 450,000 uah is the cost of the car, 4,500 uah is the amount that needs to be collected. greetings to everyone on the espresso tv channel, my name is lesya vakulyuk and today i will be talking to my polish colleague, journalist natalia valoh. she works for one of the most famous and influential polish newspapers, the election newspaper, as well as in a magazine called high heels, in ukrainian this name translates as high

heels, this magazine is actually published by the election newspaper, it is for women and about women, but not about how to choose the right color of lipstick, and about what problems modern women face, and i was inspired to record this conversation by one comment. during my other interview with another polish colleague, journalist slawomir shirakowski, this comment sounded something like this, is it so important to talk about abortion in poland that a journalist, i.e. i, dedicate a separate question to this, i realized that ukrainian men and women, not i know who wrote this comment, or the viewer, or the viewer, i don't remember anymore, they don't fully understand the realities in which polish women live, and i would like them to understand, because it was polish women who were the ones, polish men too, but women were the driving force that at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, if you remember,

they rushed to help ukrainian women, at least this beautiful action, and which became known in ukraine when poles left baby carriages at train stations for ukrainian women fleeing the war. fleeing this war with their children, who exactly are these polish women, what they live for, who they are, and why the question abortion is so important in poland that it is discussed by polish politicians even during the formation of a coalition, all this will be discussed with natalya valoh, hello natalya , good day, good day, congratulations, we already have a little language,

because the pro-family policy is very weak and very often women's rights are violated, now such a solidarity between women in

poland has been born, we say. poles have a huge problem with institutions, there are no kindergartens, no nurseries, very high prices, the issue of access to education, to medical care, but actually education is looking very bad is weak, and also the basic rights of women are related to pregnancy, childbirth and abortion. it is easier to cope with access to kindergartens, nurseries and there is a better choice of doctors, in smaller cities it is more difficult for women, but this does not change the fact that in general we, as we all understand, that our situation as women is not good. the situation is further complicated by the fact that we take care of children. in general, it is difficult

due to the fact that we are women, because in addition to the fact that women take care of children, they also often take care of sick and elderly people in their families, and here poles also have a problem, because there is no support from the state, no help from the state. in this regard, poles are very different, but all have, unfortunately, the same problems in poland with the polish language. and why not? you know, it's hard for me to say that, so that it's really responsible, because i have many ukrainian acquaintances, but again, these are only my acquaintances, and it's difficult for me to talk about ukrainians in general, but as far as i know this topic, because, for example, in the past year, at about the same

time in november, a woman was born. ukraine and war, as well as ukrainian feminism and the situation of ukrainian women. what i see is that both ukrainian and polish women constantly have a problem with patriarchy in the family, or with the male worldview, and you are now dealing with it perfectly, you are breaking all this very powerfully, now there are many women in the ukrainian army, this is something that absolutely stuns the world and i am convinced that this is something that will have a huge impact on ukrainian women for a long, long time after the war. nevertheless, the patriarchy in both ukraine and poland is still very strong, and i think that polyuk and ukrainian women are also united by the fact that we cannot rest and just live, we are still in some kind of struggle, unfortunately for our position and

for our rights, this is my vision, but to what extent it is indicative, i do not know, in ukraine too, despite the fact that there are indeed many women in the army in ukraine now , scandals still break out from time to time, but i think that the war will really change this situation, and a woman in the army will be perceived not as something strange, but as something normal, but we are lying to the poles, on the eve of your election, i was just in of poland and paid attention to how powerful the campaign was, which called on women to go vote, why it concerned the poles in particular, somehow the company was stingy, oh,
