and tomorrow fly to your sunny italy, never spill blood on the wedding night, run there, here, let's go, where, there, come on, chris, vasyl winter's big broadcast, two hours of air time, two hours. of your

time, two hours to learn about the war and what the world is like, two hours to keep up with economic and sports news, two hours in the company of your favorite presenters, presenters who have become kind to many, as well as distinguished guests of the studio, events of the day in two hours, vasyl zima's big broadcast, a project for intelligent and caring people, in the evening on espresso. well, the information day of the tv channel continues, there are many events, not all of them are like this. such comforting, as we would like, alarming news, therefore, the day before the decisive summit, hungarian prime minister viktor orbán stressed that he will not support ukraine's accession to the european community, writes the guardian. on the day of the decisive summit, he reiterated his stance on confronting ukraine for orbán during a podcast on state-run hungarian media mandiner said that -- to quote orbán, what the european union is preparing to do. sloppy mistake and

it must be prevented, even if 26 eu members want to do it, and only we are against it. he said that hungary is against ukraine's membership in the european union, hungary's position. quoting this hungarian body , hungary's position is that if we want to give ukraine support, a geopolitical signal, then let's give, but it's not membership, let's leave membership as it is, well, i have the impression that orbán is completely distant from how the process of any country's accession to the european union takes place in general, this does not mean that if conditionally speaking, ukraine will be given the green light on the 14th-15th, ukraine will immediately become a member of... the european union, we still have to go through 35 rounds in order to become a member of the european union, so what orban is saying is absolute manipulation and a lie, because he actually manipulates the fact that ukraine is not ready, but we are not talking about our accession to the european union in the next few months, well

, it could be a year, two, five years, that is it might be a very long-term perspective, but you know what's interesting is that the physio, which is also about the russian prime minister... who, together with orban , is trying in every possible way to block macro-financial assistance to ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros, instead he stated that he will not block the negotiations on ukraine's accession to the eu, although he considers it not ready, that is, fizo is not going to block a political decision at the summit of the leaders of the european union, and this is some kind of, well, in my opinion, this will be some kind of positive signal for us , probably the fact that, after all, fizo is not so knowledgeable, not so inadequate, fitzo is not so much orban, you want to say, that's it indeed, fitzo is not as much orban as anyone would like to characterize him, so to speak, on the other hand, slovakia, just so we understand, it is not hungary either, it is a weaker, smaller country and does not have

such powerful ties to the russian federation, the russian federation has an extremely powerful influence on the hungarian energy industry, on the banking system, and not only for them, but the key question... this is not only about orbán's question, it is a question of strategy, the internal strategy of the european union, how to act in situations when one or the other, taken separately a member of the european union affects strategic development decisions that concern not only an individual state of the european union, but the entire european community in general, and these are issues of geopolitics, security issues, macroeconomics, and so on and so forth, but the key story is how the european union... will try to correct orbán's deviant behavior, you understand, that is, if they will not influence, then, unfortunately , there is a certain suspicion that there may be, you know, some such scheming hole in the pocket, and this hole in the pocket will not be only orbán , orban can

be brought up politically in this situation, that is, in particular, for example, voicing the issue of the possible exclusion of hungary from certain european programs, yes, but... it would be a precedent, because there was no such thing before, or the second option, what can be done with orban, just don't give him money, that is, orban, if he wasn't there, he wouldn't smear his head with goulash, yes, we understand that he doesn't print euros, that is , brussels finances a lot of different e- hungarian financial programs, well you know, it seems to me that this is the whole question, the question of how much money he wants, because if we are talking about unblocking the macro-finance for ukraine, then he says: ok, i am ready. it is a question of promotion, but you then give 30 billion to hungary, that is, this option suits him, that is, i understand that, relatively speaking, for additional money, the question is how much money the europeans are ready to offer to orbán in order to force him to vote for the opening of negotiations for of ukraine. marta, well

, look, europeans can do things differently, they can’t, they can not give money to orbán for other programs, so the year before last year they were blocked... certain development money for the republic of poland, that is, it was about a couple of tens of billions of euros, that is, for recovery after kovid and so on and so on further, and brussels, so to speak , kept warsaw on the financial hook, until different government combinations began to change there, i don’t know, until tusk came and so on, well , until that period, brussels and berlin froze those funds, it is also possible will freeze and freeze hungarian money, but this will mean that there is, so to speak, a state that stands against the policy of the european union, and this voluntary decision must be made in paris, berlin and brussels. yes , well, but we do not forget what is happening now at the front and remind you, our viewers, about the collection at the station, the charity fund, together with the espresso tv channel, is collecting funds for

powerful portable battery stations velstrum and solar panels for the 108th dnipropetrovsk separate brigade of the territorial defense forces the armed forces of ukraine to... effectively destroy the enemy, the military equipment needs to be systematically charged, and this is not always possible due to difficult conditions at the front, battery stations are designed specifically for military needs, and replace generators and provide soldiers with energy even in mobile conditions . our goal is to collect uah 1,220,000. so far, we have collected almost 700 00 uah and we are very grateful to you for joining this collection, you have the opportunity to do it with the help of a qr code in monobank, or with the help of a bank card, on the screen you can see the number of the card, which you can to use, so let's make a gift to our armed forces, give our boys of the 108 brigade such a christmas gift in the form of a battery station. solar panels, and we will know that we are well done, that we did a good deed before christmas, and this is

important, because christmas is not only about delicious food at the table, it is primarily about deeds. yes, i absolutely agree with you, and let's hope that our tv viewers will be able to top up the next fee, that's how the espresso tv channel regularly helps our fighters in this way and not only in this way, but you and i talked a couple of minutes ago about orbán, about european politics and... we understand that donald tusk, what he did, he returned, donald tusk, returned not only to poland, and therefore into european politics, and this is a very serious story, yes, and i suggest reviewing a small plot, so to speak, about donald tusk, who he is, what he is being eaten with , and what it might mean for ukraine in general, let's see together, let's watch together, donald tusk is a well-known personality not only in poland, but also throughout europe. the politician was born on april 22, 1957 in the family of a craftsman in the city of gdańsk,

studied history at the humanities faculty of the university there, where he organized the first branch of the independent trade union solidarity, spoke out against the ruling communist regime, in 2001 became a co-founder of the civic platform party, which in the course of parliamentary elections of the same year won 65 mandates. and became the largest opposition faction in the diet, was a presidential candidate in the 2005 elections from this party, but in the second round lost to lech kaczyński with the law and justice party, winning almost 46% of the vote. in november 2007, tusk became the prime minister of poland, and in december 2014, the chairman of the european council. he was from 2019 to may 2022. chairman of the european people's party, the largest transnational party of the european union.

the 66-year-old opposition leader goes without a tie and wears a white shirt with a sticker in the form of a white and red heart. tusk is married, has a son and a daughter. he is the author of more than 200 printed works, mostly historical and local history plan. he is fond of football and photography. the politician always supported ukraine in its fight against the russian occupiers, he approved the introduction of eu sanctions against russia back in 2014 and condemned the participation of russian troops in hostilities on the territory of ukraine. even then, he promised to act in the ukrainian crisis decisively, but also balanced. during the recent election campaign, donald tusk criticized the polish authorities for a political conflict with ukraine over agricultural exports in autumn 2023 year the politician also noted that poland should not reduce support for ukraine and called for

an increase in military aid to kyiv. he has repeatedly emphasized that warsaw must steadfastly support ukraine in the war against the russian invaders. well, now i propose to join our marathon with the polish expert, journalist marik seerant. glory to ukraine, long live poland. glory, thank you. we are doing well, well, dear mr. editor, we would like to ask you about the prospects for donald tusk to work not only for the good poland, not only for the benefit of the european union, primarily for the benefit of ukraine, i am most interested in how the newly appointed head of the polish cabinet will be able to try to speed up european and polish aid, what are his first steps that you see? of course, he cannot work for the benefit of ukraine, because he is a representative elected by polish

society, and he will primarily protect, i think, polish interests, but polish interests coincide with ukrainian interests, and then we come to the moment when, of course, he can support ukraine, can help ukraine, and with his authority in europe, in the european union, he can... mobilize some politicians, as he himself said, he will be laughed at by politicians who say that they are tired of the war in ukraine, and he said that this is unacceptable, and we, that is... solidarity poles, i quote him all the time, solidarity does not need to be taught how to do it, and of course, he says that he will use his authority to mobilize for greater support for ukraine, specifically that he meant, he didn't say, but i think we we will have greater sensitivity to ukraine,

greater empathy, and i think we will use it less in such, i would say... political topics of ukraine, at least when it comes to the current government of poland. mr. marik , we also see a rather complicated situation that is currently taking place on the polish-ukrainian border, we know that once again the picketers are going to return to blocking one checkpoint, which was already unblocked at the request of the local municipality, do you think donald tusk will be able to ... listen to the poles, who are they blocking the border now and will this issue be resolved in the near future? i think that there will be negotiations, negotiations, and just like with the polish carriers, just like with the ukrainian side, he showed one thing,

deciding that he will not allow the border to be so blocked, because it proves not ... to the crisis of ukraine, which is fighting for its survival, he also emphasized this, but it leads to a crisis in some sectors of the economy in poland, and so actually leads to a crisis in places where these political blockades are happening, i call them political for a reason, because of course there are economic reasons, but we all understand that very... often it somehow coincides that when we hear some anti-ukrainian things, the leaders of the confederation party appear there, which , i remember one of the leaders of that party calls the european union a european collective farm, calls the war in ukraine a made-up war, covid calls made-up, made-up bravery and so on and so

forth, that is, i would say so too. exotic people try to be, i would say, initiators of decisions and initiatives between and relations between poland and ukraine, i think, is not their place, because there is no respect for partners, nor for culture, nor does it understand geopolitics in the end, but... this indicates that we are dealing with the hand of the kremlin, how to dig deeper , then we can find it. well, in simple language, grzegorz braun, yes, who the day before extinguished the jewish hanukkah candles from the fire extinguisher, is he so naive and unpredictable, or is it that there is much more behind it, which could,

for example, occupy and interest the same polish counterintelligence , yes? well, because... these are too symbolic things, is there a certain limit, what is called populism? i, you know, populism, of course, yes, but there is also something very specific here, this rudeness, which - no one stopped in time, and it spills out, like now, uh, and we can see it, this, here and , i think, a clinical psychiatrist could also provide. diagnosis, because what mr. brown said when he did it, he said that it is uh, the talmudic sabbath is satanic, and it's a rite, some secret ritual, he really believes what he's saying, so here you have to already a doctor, and even then it is not a fact that he will help, because i think that medicine, although

it develops very quickly, does not always keep up with diseases, and eh, but also rude. moreover, i am sure that no one will punish me, because i am a deputy and so on and so forth, but he listed himself, the notification to the prosecutor's office has already gone, he will also be deprived of immunity, there will be a vote in the session on whether to deprive him of immunity , he will answer to the prosecutor's office and the court, as normal citizens, ordinary citizens of poland, and of course somehow for... it already happens, that all such exotic people in the whole of europe, who there believe that covid does not exist, who believe that there is no war in ukraine, that... they are anti-ukrainian, they seem to be anti-system, they are often also anti-semitic, somehow it always happens that way , that sooner

or later they turn to moscow for help, sooner or later somewhere in between they speak for moscow or use the kremlin's rhetoric and always what unites them is anti-ukrainianism, anti-ukrainianism, it's very interesting. that all those strange people are united by always being anti-ukrainian, not simply yes, i think there is something to think about here for the doctor, and here for intelligence or counter-intelligence, for the polish special services, as well as for us poles ourselves, and of course for our partners from ukraine as well, mr. marko, this is a question for you , that's enough, i don't know if this is a predictable issue for you at all, because for me personally... a similar situation is being observed when, for example, we have pro-russian forces in ukraine, there opzzh, we once had a party of regions, which frankly worked for the enemy, and now in poland we see

the confederacy party, which has an anti-ukrainian agenda position, but what they are doing at the border and the way they are now essentially harming polish business as well, shows that they are also working to the detriment of the polish state, how do you generally feel about... something like that, i understand that poland is a democratic state, but still in view of national security, well , to a certain extent, to introduce some restrictions for this party, it is possible to liquidate it or ban it, as such, which harms both poland and the polish people in particular, and on the other hand, opzh was banned in our country, and opzh deputies normally set fire to themselves in the verkhovna rada, nothing, nothing actually, actually i, actually, i am afraid of such a scenario when everything will be banned. and then it will be very attractive when we have them near us, it is better and easier to control them, they also don’t know themselves then, they don’t go

underground into the underground and they don’t make catacombs and some different stories there, and this the first, the second, the second thing is that i am afraid that of course when they are like that, i would say loud, but populis is always loud, he is from afar always shines, always has recipes for all her simple problems, uh, well, of course, they cannot grow in strength, they are really mediocre here somewhere, they need to be controlled, and it is necessary, i think, to catch these most aggressive and and and and such, i would say stupid or rude behavior, like the one we had today, eh... could be observed yesterday in the polish parliament and simply pointed at them either through the investigation of the special services or through the violation

of the law, judicial investigation and punishment, and it will be the best, i would not ban them yet what, but of course the 13th article of the polish constitution says that the promotion of totalitarian authoritarian...stems, including communism, national socialism, nazism, fascism, maybe, under such circumstances, the activities of these parties can be banned, so far no one according to the article the 13th was never used in the history of the existence of an independent polish state, mr. editor, donald tusk and the continuation of all the good that was started by andrzej duda. and the pis government, we understand, yes, that we had very different relations with pis, but the law and justice during the beginning of the full-scale russian invasion,

behaved impeccably in the ukrainian issue, we understand that both the minister, the prime minister of poland murawiecki, and andrzej duda behaved, behaved extremely decently and courageously, and the key story, how can the situation will change now, how it will be adjusted... and how brave donald tusk will be, yes, because at one time andrzej duda, well, became one of the vanguards, yes, of the locomotives of what is called european aid for ukraine, for ukraine, ugh, here when it comes to the ukrainian issue, i am not worried about either andrzej duda duda or donald tusk, because they are very similar when it comes to the ukrainian issue. they really speak with one voice, moreover, today andrzej duda, at the moment when the polish government was sworn in, he told donald tusk that he is ready to cooperate

and... do cohabitation, let's see how far this word is, how far it will be, donald tusk said the same in his speech to president andrzej duda, as well as to the new government ministers, and i think that in ukrainian issues will not be a problem here, all the more so as a new ambassador of poland will appear in kyiv soon, in a matter of days. mr. yaroslav buzy, who is a specialist in security, for a reason, andrzej duda appointed such and such an ambassador to ukraine, for security, a security specialist, this also says something that we will make great efforts in this direction, and i i think that with

donald's international authority. also, who is a very distinguished journalist, with great respect across the ocean, will be together in this cohabitation strongly supports ukraine, and this is a good time for ukraine, this is good news, and i think that ukraine, well, the best thing that shows this is what vasyl zvary , the ambassador of ukraine to poland wrote yesterday, shows

us with great optimism. that's all donald tusk said, that's the best, the best line that shows how it's going to play out. mr. marik, we have two more minutes with you, but i want to ask, in the ukrainian media, they are already talking about the fact that the ukrainian side is trying to reset the relations between kyiv and warsaw and is working on getting donald tusk to visit kyiv, is there already something in the polish media about donald tusk's visit to kyiv, if so, please share, no, no, no. there has been no official statement yet, but between the poems of donald tusk at his exposé, i specially drew attention to this, yesterday, he said that he will maintain relations with allies, his first visit today is to brussels, where, among others, he will meet with mr. president volodymyr zelenskyi and i think

the details of the visit to... tuska in kyiv will be burned there, donald tusk knows kyiv well, i think he will come here, of course, one hundred percent, the question is when it will be, his next, second visit, it will be to allies, those smallest but very important countries, he wants to visit tallinn, where he will meet with his colleagues from estonia, latvia and lithuania, and we will talk about security and countermeasures. we have 30 seconds literally with orbán, donald tusk will somehow, i don't know , try to figure out the situation, i think it will, but donald trusk is a serious player, i think that the noose is already tightening around orbán's neck, and there is less and less of that place, donald tusk is very determined, there will be a brutal and masculine conversation. thank you

, marek sierand, a polish expert, journalist , was with us and told us about the exclusive that tonald tusky volodymyr zelensky will meet in brussels, it is very important, so we will watch. , of course, but donald tusk will work hard with him, and anna yavomelnyk is ready to share with you about the current news, what you need to know at the moment, the newsroom has prepared a fresh news release, so please wait. good afternoon, colleagues, thank you for your work, the news team is still working, i will tell you about the most important thing at the moment, and i will start with the details of the creation of a maritime coalition for ukraine. be with us.
