stryyska street, exactly five months ago an enemy rocket hit here. ten civilians were killed. they all lived in the same house. currently, the roofs of neighboring houses have been repaired and the windows have been replaced in almost all apartments , the damaged house is also being repaired, and due to the strike of transporters on the border with poland , there was a problem with the delivery of materials. the buildings are historical, they should be covered with ceramic tiles, which taken from abroad to detour poland. there could potentially be a problem with that shingle due to the blockage. the polish border has reached us, but the works themselves are actively continuing, the carriers themselves, returning from poland, are talking about the unsatisfactory situation at the border. mr. ihor stood still for 12 days, because the queue on the polish side is already

hundreds of kilometers long. i was lucky, i found a parking space, well, you can imagine what it is like, what kind of damage it is, that the cars are standing for two weeks, they are not moving anywhere, they are smoking solar because you need to charge the batteries and heat the cabin, because i'm sorry, it's not summer now, the damage is simply colossal, well, sorry, i counted, i was in the 186th queue, multiply 180 by eight, how much will it be, it's only on one border on a4 . igor, one of the drivers who returned from poland, says that on the other side of the border there are several protesters blocking the entrance, there is no such blockade, there are just three guys standing there, three... they are 20-25 years old, they do not look like uh, people who are there from an agricultural company, somehow or from somewhere there, those those who are transiting through poland are already thinking about how to return and are stocking up on food, water, canned food and dry food, in the car

of ukrainian trucks are still blocked at the border with poland, although drivers say the situation has improved a little, now seven trucks are allowed through per hour. oleg yanko, arsen ruzanov, tv channel rada. national marathon, united news. eight children were returned to ukraine from russia and the temporarily occupied territories, they are between eight and 18 years old, said the commissioner for human rights of the verkhovna rada, dmytro lubinets, he noted that four boys and four girls were returned thanks to joint work with the state of cater. the ombudsman emphasized that each of our children is important for ukraine. the israel defense forces released a video from the south of the gaza strip, reuters reports. we are talking about the large city of khan uninis. otsehal specify that within a few hours the troops broke through the defenses of the hamas brigade in this city, duck out and they began to maneuver deeper, while the troops captured hamas strongholds,

went well, there is a saying, the crew and the helicopter are intact, the task was completed, successfully. pilots believe that their rotorcraft have a soul and can save the crew in the most difficult moments. these are soviet-made machines, he is already about 40 years old, it seems that this one. flight can do absolutely everything, evacuation, transportation, amphibious landing and support from the sky. yuriy is a pilot in the second generation , has been conquering the sky for 32 years, but he remembers his first flight as if it were yesterday, it was with his father, my father was also a pilot, i was small, i was seven years old, and he was on the airfield chased gophers onto a helicopter, it got into my heart so much, i decided that i would be a lion, before the invasion , the man was a pilot of the united states army , and participated in international missions on a helicopter, he transported food

for african countries, and when the enemy invaded his native land, yuriy joined the armed forces, he did not immediately find, through acquaintances of the guys, contacted the commander, the conversation lasted as long as 4 seconds, he was ready, charged forward, for the enemy rotorcraft are the number one target. because the birds cause heavy losses to the invaders, and although it is not easy to perform complex tricks on the mi-8, still the pilot manages to maneuver between the attacks, when you see shots around you, when you see gaps around you, the ground is up, and you you maneuver, luckily, you jump out of the line of fire, it's just for adrenaline, the combat environment shows new challenges. we adapt to them very quickly, we learn very quickly. yuriy always flies with the pilot,

sturman oleksiy, he says, he is like a son to him, to whom he prompts and gives advice when necessary. alexei only graduated before the invasion and didn't have much experience, but he is motivated by his brothers fighting on the ground. we help our, so to speak, the coolest guys, because they are the coolest really from the infantry. these are attack aircraft, because we are, we flew there, flew away too, yes, we are handsome, but they are cool in general, they sit there all the time, the pilots believe in their omens, for example, they don’t take pictures before takeoff, we don’t have a word there, we always say extreme, because we don't say the second word, because it is what it is, well, in principle, everyone has their own superstitions, a man always takes lucky talismans with him. things that were given to him by his brothers, here is this one,

this is my friend who gave me a thing, and this is a lighter, it’s like this, it’s flying after me, it ’s something my comrades gave as a gift, there are things like that flown in there, if, well, i take them with me like this, i don’t know, after they return from the mission, the first thing they do, the military say , call or send to relatives, a short message: everything is fine. kateryna kusmarova, dmytro poznyakov, tv channel rada. nationwide marathon: the only news. at 5 o'clock watch the updated issue, our team is already preparing it, see you, have a good night and a cheerful morning. chevrons approaching victory, chas

troops of the armed forces of ukraine. on christmas night , we will be near, mentally chatting, in the family circle, and from now on, together with the whole christian world, on december 25, we will celebrate christmas together. vadim kolodiychuk and tetyana goncharova are with you , tonight, the team of the rada tv channel, a few more hours until 60 in the morning, so together with you we are already starting this day, and we are talking about the fact that the european union is not ready to make concessions on carriers and cancel the transport visa-free for ukrainian drivers. european commissioner for transport adina velyan at a press conference in brussels stated that the eu supports the preservation of the agreement on the liberalization of transportation between ukraine and the eu. the economy of the european union, ukraine, and poland itself depends on these highways, the official emphasized. and the losses due to

the blocking of the border by the poles are significant. the european commission offered the strikers a list of 13 points that can be... quickly implemented, now they are waiting for the decision of the polish side. oleksiy boryachenko, candidate of political sciences, head of the international association of small communities, joins our broadcast. mr. oleksiy, congratulations. yes, i congratulate you, friends, eh, let's try to understand and explain to our viewers the situation in polish politics, why what we are currently seeing at the borders is not resolved in any way, although it seems that communications are taking place on the part of the ukrainian government, with the polish authorities, but still a solution on the horizon for now. that we do not see, well , first of all, we need to start with the fact that we have already noted and said more than once that this is not just any conflict between ukraine and poland, whether it is economic or any other, but it is primarily a conflict between poland and brussels, because it is the polish

carriers who physically block the border between ukraine and poland, thereby violating the rules on the borderless liberalization of ukrainian goods and services on the territory of the european union, that is , in fact, they are violating what they themselves voted for, so this the issue really needs to be sorted out, not between ukraine and poland, and you are absolutely right...' we saw that ukraine, on its part, is doing absolutely everything to unblock, respectively, the border, but we see that now in poland has such a period of political timelessness , yes, we see that morawiec with his temporary government is not able to solve these

issues, tusk is already openly criticizing you, i just want to clarify, he is not able, or he no longer wants to, given that well in fact, his term of office has ended, i think that both the first and the second are neither able nor willing, because given the statements we heard from them, that they almost openly sided with the protester of the protestors, yes , the border blockers, this speaks of that they try to play with them and should be liked accordingly, considering that in any case the next government is tusk's government, it will be determined to solve this issue, precisely in a constructive way, because, by the way, the european commissioner absolutely rightly pointed out that such blocking also affects the economy of the european union and ukraine and poland itself,

moreover, poland can, excuse the slang, run into sanctions from brussels for such a blocking of the physical border and non-implementation of the decisions of the european union itself, and so to speak, even accordingly. subventions are not received on next year to support the agricultural sector. mr. oleksiy, it hasn’t crashed yet, you are now synchronously in our frame, and we are showing the queues of cars that are standing, and as of yesterday, as reported by the border service, 2,950 vehicles are standing at checkpoints, you say, it might crash , but did not run into it. it is clear that poland is now beginning to be criticized, but for now it sounds like a warning, and in principle i am sure that it is probably not only the european commission that is talking about it publicly, probably some notes have been sent and poland, and poland also explains at these levels of the european commission's statements that we are already in a period

of political stagnation, that is, whether the european commission itself has any tools against this or not, whether it is such diplomatic work, exchanging direct assessments of the situation, there poland is doing its own, the european commission is doing its thing, it is a real politician, we have long analyzed what a politician is. it is happening right now right in front of our eyes, it is such a bureaucracy, after all , of the european union, it is very complicated, it is very stretched over time, and in relation to the analysis processes and in relation to the response, this is what we need directly to unlock this border, in fact, i think that this situation will be resolved, it has already partially at... one crossing point begun to be constructively resolved, but given that the demands of the protesters, they are completely inadequate, and even more so, they directly

contradict the decision of the european union itself, well, in relation to the registration, here it is that with great advantage they can also prick the ears of the kremlin, according to this whole story, and they already directly write about it some european media, associating politicians... polish ones, who previously had an openly pro-russian position, now engaged in trade unions there in poland, that it is they who are, let's say, at the foundations of this blocking movement, and accordingly, returning to tusk, here he made quite serious statements there , but just the other day he already made that poland is really guilty of the deaths of those people who died on the border of poland and ukraine, among ukrainian transporters, and poland should bear responsibility for this, that is, i think that

the situation will become more and more radicalize, and most likely, the more it will be radicalized, the more, accordingly , the parties will approach constructively, and brussels will understand that without their decisive intervention, which is exactly what you mentioned, yes, to what extent it can effectively influence the position of poland , i think that the more the situation will come to a head, the more brussels will be included in the process. and what will happen in slovakia, because today , december 7, the carriers will meet directly with the country's leadership, and they threaten that they, too, will block, will resume if the issue of canceling the permit system for ukrainians is not resolved, they... say we are ready to block again, it is clear what we are talking about, the day is just beginning there, but the situation is still the same, it is wrong,

there will be queues there too, it is wrong for us , well, in fact, in slovakia, the situation is not like that, not as critical as in poland, and not as potentially critical as it can be in the same hungary, in slovakia, after all, the government is more, more constructive, and fizo himself, he only takes a hot word, yes, capable in fact, but for such decisive actions, of an anti-european content, if you can call it that, yes, on the part of slovakia, i do not think that he is capable, because slovakia, well , in fact, it is not poland for poland, now the economy is enough it is of course unpleasant for her the possible sanctions from the union, but she can cope with them, but whether slovakia will cope with them, well, i

have big questions. if slovakia is not supported by subventions from the european union or even more so if some sanctions are imposed, then i think that fico may not be able to resist that he so to speak , he will not sit in the chair for so long, so slovakia, in fact, if we talk about this track, the influence is significant, in fact more, but here is the last question i will ask you, the blocking of the border with poland becomes a reason even for kyiv to declare that due to blocking the border with poland. the deadlines for the repair of the ring road have been disrupted, because certain materials, such as asphalt concrete, have not been brought in, so is it correct to put this as a reason when the repair of the ring road continues periodically and for too long, mr. oleksiy, and you know that i now you see, behind the cream i find, yes, and taking into account the work of our association of local self-government bodies, rich food in

ukraine. so now i'm going south to odesa, and the line of trucks is just crazy , a whole huge caravan is going along the road, that is , it is reorienting, and the transporters from the border with poland, which is actually blocked now, almost all of them at the crossing points, are reorienting to the south, and i will tell you frankly that there are many sections of roads. already need a really significant repair, but how to do it in fact, if this is the movement tonnage transport, it actually does not stop, so i understand that it sounds like some kind of silence there in relation to the ring road in kyiv, yes, but considering the amount of freight transport that is currently going along the ring road of the city of kyiv, i am not

surprised, actually , that the tow truck does not normally have time to repair these areas, since at least the night time may not be enough to do it fully, in time you found yourself in a traffic jam to justify such an explanation directly kyivtodor, complaining with his own eyes about those queues of trucks. oleksiy boryachenko, candidate of political sciences, head of the international association of small communities, was in touch with us. well, in continuation of the topic, support. congress must support the allocation of aid to our country, us president national security adviser jake sullivan said, according to him, voting against additional funding for ukraine will harm democracy and help the russian dictator. a vote against supporting ukraine is a vote for improving strategic positions putin, this is simply an unavoidable reality. we believe that this is the wrong lesson of history and that every member of congress, democrat and

republican, should ... vote to support this resolution. oleksiy yezhak, expert of the national institute of strategic studies, mr. oleksiy, well , the emotional history of those who have to vote, as if planned, unequally, even now in the congress, is not equal. can you explain the mood that prevails there now, because it is clear that every day... for ukraine , the time when we had great the hope that everyone owes us and everyone will definitely help us, we see that every country, it still begins to live its own life in these two years, american politics, it is generally too complicated, especially during the elections, which will soon begin, the complexity, the complexity of this assistance, there are two two, two aspects of this

complexity, well , first of all, there is a very high probability that the united states will change its international status, if you can say so, and it is quite possible that they will generally reduce own international presence, this means that in the perspective of a few years in general, ukraine , well, count on a lot of american aid, well, it is risky, because, well, it is necessary to count more with regard to aid for the next year, which may be enough to win in this war, the issue is that while the majority of americans and the majority of congressmen support the provision of such aid, they want to do so in order to gain more political, political advantages in the next presidential election, the republicans want make it so that, in this package, there are

solutions that are...
