[00:00:12] Let us honor with a minute of silence the memory of Ukrainian
[00:00:16] soldiers and civilians of Ukraine who died in the
[00:00:19] war unleashed by
[00:00:22] Russia.
[00:01:10] The city lives, drinks coffee, plans
[00:01:13] vacations, takes stories, the windows
[00:01:16] don't shine, children laugh, squares
[00:01:19] are full, it's comfortable, warm,
[00:01:22] quiet,
[00:01:26] but this silence is fake.
[00:01:35] Every minute is worth blood, you live in
[00:01:38] an illusion, in the illusion that the war is somewhere far away,
[00:01:42] an illusion is not a bulletproof vest,
[00:01:45] wake up, everyone can be useful, every
[00:01:48] gesture, every action is important,
[00:01:52] the war will not end without
[00:01:54] you.
[00:03:43] Warsaw-Kyiv, the most important news at this hour, I will tell you in detail.
[00:03:46] Three people died due to Russian strikes
[00:03:49] on Balakliia in Kharkiv region. This was reported by the head of the city military
[00:03:52] administration Vitaliy Karabanov. The occupiers twice attacked the residential
[00:03:56] microdistrict of the city. The first strike destroyed a private house,
[00:04:00] a woman, a fire broke out at the scene, the second arrival happened near another
[00:04:04] house and claimed the lives of a man and a woman, relevant
[00:04:07] services are working at the sites
[00:04:09] of enemy strikes.
[00:04:12] And one person died, four more were wounded as a result of enemy attacks in
[00:04:16] Zaporizhzhia region, reported the head of Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration
[00:04:20] Ivan Fedorov. During the day, the occupiers launched over a thousand
[00:04:23] strikes on 66 settlements
[00:04:26] of the region, 77
[00:04:30] infrastructure facilities, housing and
[00:04:32] cars.
[00:04:35] And in July, Ukraine recorded the largest number of civilian casualties
[00:04:38] since April 2022. This was
[00:04:41] reported by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. According to the
[00:04:45] organization, the main reason was the intensification of Russian attacks using
[00:04:49] ballistic missiles and long-range drones,
[00:04:53] only as a result of a massive strike on Kyiv and the region on the night of August 5,
[00:04:56] at least 17 civilians died and
[00:05:00] were wounded. The UN also noted that in the first half of this
[00:05:04] year, they confirmed the death
[00:05:06] of 1396
[00:05:08] Ukrainian civilians and the wounding of almost 8 thousand people.
[00:05:12] This is 37% more than in the same period
[00:05:16] last year.
[00:05:20] Uninterrupted operation of electricity, heat and water supply systems,
[00:05:23] protection of critical infrastructure facilities, strengthening
[00:05:26] of air defense and development of a network of shelters.
[00:05:29] The National Security and Defense Council approved Kyiv's
[00:05:33] resilience plan. The document aims to prepare the capital for possible
[00:05:36] Russian attacks on critical infrastructure during
[00:05:39] the autumn-winter period, which is supposed to begin normally
[00:05:43] in mid-October, said NSDC Secretary Ihor
[00:05:46] Klymenko. According to him, the implementation has already begun.
[00:05:50] We remind you that in March, the NSDC approved comprehensive
[00:05:53] resilience plans for regions and individual
[00:05:56] cities.
[00:05:59] Ukraine is negotiating with neighboring countries to
[00:06:02] ensure the uninterrupted operation of solidarity lanes
[00:06:06] for grain exports. This was stated by the head of the Ministry
[00:06:09] of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sebiha. According to the
[00:06:12] official, consultations are ongoing with Moldova, Romania,
[00:06:16] Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. And the solidarity
[00:06:19] lanes are alternative logistical routes
[00:06:22] that the European Commission created in May 2022
[00:06:26] after the blocking of Ukrainian seaports. They
[00:06:30] ensure the export of products and the import of necessary
[00:06:33] goods by various roads and waterways.
[00:06:37] waterways.
[00:06:41] In the Russian city of Yaroslavl, explosions were heard at night during a drone
[00:06:45] attack, the Slaneft oil refinery
[00:06:48] could have been hit, Telegram channels write.
[00:06:51] The governor of Yaroslavl region confirmed the attack, according to him, traffic
[00:06:55] was temporarily blocked at the exit from Yaroslavl in the direction of Moscow. Local residents
[00:06:58] also reported on social networks
[00:07:02] that they saw drones over the city and heard
[00:07:05] explosions.
[00:07:12] Another underground tunnel, which was probably prepared for illegal migration,
[00:07:16] was discovered on the border of Lithuania and Belarus, this was reported by the
[00:07:20] State Border Guard Service of Lithuania. The object
[00:07:23] was found on August 4 near the village of Letris,
[00:07:27] Letežeris using special equipment provided by Polish
[00:07:30] border guards. The passage was incomplete after
[00:07:33] investigative actions were carried out, it was filled in. This is not
[00:07:37] the first such case, law enforcement officers
[00:07:38] note.
[00:07:43] Poland handed over a new list of places for exhumations to Ukraine.
[00:07:47] A meeting of the intergovernmental working group on dignified
[00:07:50] burials was held in Lviv. The results of the implementation
[00:07:53] of the agreements reached during the previous meeting in Warsaw
[00:07:57] last year were summarized. This was reported by the first deputy minister of culture Ivan
[00:08:00] Verbytskyi. He noted that the Ukrainian side issued all
[00:08:04] permits for work in agreed locations on the territory of our
[00:08:07] state. Polish colleagues handed over a list of places for further
[00:08:11] work on the territory
[00:08:13] of Ukraine.
[00:08:17] New in politics, tough in his decisions and sensitive to
[00:08:20] historical topics. Such words can describe the current President of Poland
[00:08:24] Karol Nawrodski. Exactly a year ago, after winning the
[00:08:28] presidential elections, he took an oath to the people. What
[00:08:31] did the leader of the neighboring country remember during this period,
[00:08:35] see in our
[00:08:36] material.
[00:08:43] August 6, 2025, Karol
[00:08:45] Nawrodski and his wife Marta cross the threshold of the plenary hall
[00:08:49] of the Sejm after the solemn performance of the anthem, the newly elected President
[00:08:53] of Poland takes the oath. Solemnly
[00:08:56] swear to remain faithful to the provisions
[00:08:59] of the Constitution, to remain faithful to the provisions
[00:09:02] of the Constitution. Steadfastly stand guard
[00:09:06] over the dignity of the people. Steadfastly stand guard over the dignity
[00:09:10] of the people.
[00:09:21] and the good of the homeland and the welfare of citizens will always
[00:09:25] be my highest duty, will always be
[00:09:28] my highest duty. Nawrodski, an independent candidate
[00:09:32] supported by the Law and Justice party, won in the second
[00:09:35] round of elections in June 2025,
[00:09:38] before entering politics, he headed the Institute of National Remembrance.
[00:09:42] and conducted his campaign under the slogan Poland first,
[00:09:45] Poles first. I believe in Poland and will fight
[00:09:49] for it. I can say with full responsibility
[00:09:52] that I am ready to represent all
[00:09:55] Poles. He gathered voters around him with
[00:09:59] rhetoric regarding Ukraine, declared a tough stance on
[00:10:03] Kyiv, advocated limiting social support for war
[00:10:06] migrants, and questioned the Euro-Atlantic prospects
[00:10:09] of our state.
[00:10:12] As of now, I do not see Ukraine as a member of either the EU or
[00:10:16] NATO. A country that is not able to answer for a very
[00:10:20] cruel crime against 120 thousand of its
[00:10:22] neighbors cannot be.
[00:10:27] There were also public scandals around his person, the media
[00:10:31] wrote about his connections with football fans and accused him of working for
[00:10:35] a security firm that allegedly escorted prostitutes. Nawrodski himself
[00:10:38] called everything
[00:10:40] slander.
[00:10:44] After taking office, he began to fulfill his promises. In August
[00:10:47] 2025, he vetoed amendments to the law that
[00:10:51] provided for social payments for children 800+ and extended
[00:10:55] temporary protection for Ukrainians, instead proposing
[00:10:58] to link aid to employment and
[00:11:01] compulsory education of children in school, during Volodymyr
[00:11:04] Zelensky's visit to Warsaw in December, he reproached the Ukrainian authorities for
[00:11:08] ingratitude, which once again earned him public sympathy.
[00:11:12] How Nawrodski intends to guard
[00:11:15] the security of the state became known in March 2026.
[00:11:19] The President vetoed the European Defense
[00:11:23] Loan program "Save". Soon after, the streets of Poland were filled with protests, and
[00:11:26] the government had to look for plan
[00:11:28] B.
[00:11:34] In total, during the first year of his term, the Polish president blocked a record
[00:11:38] number of laws - 41, and also took away the Order of the White
[00:11:41] Eagle from Volodymyr Zelensky. The leaders managed to talk
[00:11:44] face-to-face again during the NATO summit in Ankara. However,
[00:11:48] regarding historical issues, according to Nawrodski himself, it was not
[00:11:50] possible to agree. I would add that despite
[00:11:54] the waves of tension in Polish-Ukrainian relations, Nawrodski's position on
[00:11:58] Russia's war against Ukraine is unchanged. He calls Putin
[00:12:02] a threat to Europe and calls for pressure on Moscow, and among
[00:12:05] the priorities of his first year in office are strengthening
[00:12:09] Poland's security, adjusting policy towards Ukraine, regional
[00:12:13] cooperation and striving for permanent membership in the G20.
[00:12:16] On July 29, Ibris sociologists conducted
[00:12:20] a survey, according to which more than 51%
[00:12:23] trust the current president.
[00:12:31] The Court of Appeal postponed the consideration of the case regarding the return of the Fifth Channel
[00:12:35] to the T2 digital air. The next session was scheduled for
[00:12:39] September 16 due to the absence of a representative of the Concern for Radio Broadcasting,
[00:12:43] Radio Communications and Television. On the Fifth Channel, it is believed that this
[00:12:46] concern may be involved in disconnecting the broadcaster from the network.
[00:12:50] The broadcaster hopes that after the continuation of the consideration, the court will make
[00:12:53] a decision on its return to the digital air.
[00:12:56] We remind you that in April 2022, the Fifth Channel, Pryamyi and Espreso
[00:13:00] were switched off from the T-2 digital air without any explanation. The illegal
[00:13:04] shutdown of the three channels was previously condemned by the European Commission and
[00:13:08] the US Department of
[00:13:10] State. We have many questions
[00:13:14] for the concern, because both the Cabinet of Ministers and the Communications
[00:13:18] Administration say they are innocent, respectively, it is very likely that the concern
[00:13:22] may be to blame for some... physically
[00:13:26] pressing a button and turning us off from T2. As of
[00:13:29] today, T-2, I understand, is about
[00:13:32] 30% of those people who can
[00:13:36] reach television, who can see us. We don't have
[00:13:39] all these people, these viewers, today. today.
[00:13:43] That's all the news for today, more will be tomorrow morning, and
[00:13:47] the Ukrainian focus continues in just a few moments, we continue, stay with
[00:13:50] us.
[00:14:25] We invite the next guest to the conversation, with whom we will discuss important topics,
[00:14:29] including those related to our neighboring
[00:14:32] partner countries, with us Evgeniy Chaban, Chaban,
[00:14:35] editor of the independent Moldovan media Most, Mr. Evgeniy, welcome,
[00:14:39] thank you for joining our
[00:14:48] in Moldova, it's not the first time that fragments of enemy
[00:14:51] drones have been found, in particular the last time... fragments of a garage were
[00:14:55] found, how does society react
[00:14:58] to this in general, first of all, how noticeable is this event in Moldova, because we
[00:15:01] talk about the facts themselves, but we know little about the reaction in
[00:15:05] Moldova, and also about the possibilities to still,
[00:15:09] if such enemy drones fly into
[00:15:12] the territory of Moldova to then again strike the territory of Ukraine, how much
[00:15:16] consensus is there on whether to
[00:15:20] strike them, please, please,
[00:15:23] uh-huh, and... Well, yes, unfortunately,
[00:15:26] almost every month in
[00:15:30] Moldova there is news about one or another
[00:15:33] drone entering our
[00:15:37] airspace, and yes, of course, this causes
[00:15:41] indignation of a significant part of Moldovan
[00:15:44] society, the government
[00:15:47] is looking, well, now, as they joke in Moldova, we have
[00:15:51] the strangest air defense, which can only
[00:15:53] be, it comes down to the fact that
[00:15:57] the Moldovan Foreign Ministry summons the Russian
[00:16:00] ambassador after, after such
[00:16:04] incidents, but yes,
[00:16:07] it can be said that the Moldovan government is now
[00:16:10] looking for opportunities to somehow counteract
[00:16:14] and protect, protect the Moldovan sky from
[00:16:17] these drones,
[00:16:19] yes, unfortunately,
[00:16:22] there are drones that fall and detonate on the territory of the Republic
[00:16:25] of Moldova, including, not so long ago, one of
[00:16:29] the drones fell near our
[00:16:33] Transnistrian region, but on the right bank
[00:16:36] of the Dniester River.
[00:16:39] In fact, we understand that the neighborhood of two
[00:16:43] states entails cooperation in many
[00:16:47] areas, as of now, we have
[00:16:50] information that the President of Ukraine
[00:16:53] Volodymyr Zelensky met with the Deputy Prime Minister,
[00:16:57] Minister of Foreign Affairs of Moldova, and
[00:17:00] this happened just a few days ago, and according to the President,
[00:17:04] he was glad to see the Moldovan Minister at the annual meeting of
[00:17:08] Ukrainian ambassadors, noting that Popșoi's participation
[00:17:12] testifies to the common foreign policy priorities
[00:17:15] of Ukraine and Moldova, primarily in matters of security and
[00:17:19] European integration, our path to European
[00:17:22] integration, our path to the EU, we remind you, is
[00:17:25] synchronous, we are moving in a unified
[00:17:28] course and together,
[00:17:31] despite the fact that within the European Union there are individual forces, individual
[00:17:35] countries that want to divide Ukraine
[00:17:38] and... Moldova on this path, these latest
[00:17:41] actions of the Hungarian leadership testified to this,
[00:17:45] but there are common problems and challenges that need to be
[00:17:48] overcome, Ukraine is holding consultations with Moldova and
[00:17:52] other neighbors on expanding the infrastructure for exporting
[00:17:55] grain to third markets, we understand that we
[00:17:58] need this, and we would like to understand how much Moldova
[00:18:02] has resources to provide us with such
[00:18:06] opportunities for diversifying
[00:18:08] our exports.
[00:18:11] Well, I understand that first of all, it's about
[00:18:13] railway connections and
[00:18:16] accelerating the transit of Ukrainian grain through the territory
[00:18:19] of Moldova, this was talked about a lot
[00:18:23] by the new Prime Minister of Moldova Vasyl Tofan,
[00:18:26] who worked and lived
[00:18:30] in Kyiv for quite a long time,
[00:18:33] and he is set on
[00:18:35] such a very... good, very good interaction with
[00:18:39] colleagues from Kyiv,
[00:18:42] so he said that we will look for
[00:18:46] opportunities how to
[00:18:50] speed up, accelerate Ukrainian
[00:18:54] grain transit through the territory of Moldova so that
[00:18:57] this grain does not enter the Moldovan market and
[00:19:01] does not affect prices there, because as in other countries, in
[00:19:04] Moldova,
[00:19:07] ah, there is... a public discussion about this, Moldovan farmers
[00:19:10] also, also say that
[00:19:13] they have to compete with Ukrainian
[00:19:17] products, and the government cannot
[00:19:21] ignore this either, but once again
[00:19:24] I will say, once again I will repeat, the Moldovan
[00:19:28] Prime Minister Tofan
[00:19:31] said that he would, he would look for ways to
[00:19:34] provide...
[00:19:37] help to Ukraine so that it can export its grain, including
[00:19:40] through the territory of the Republic of Moldova. Yes, well, and
[00:19:44] let's talk about
[00:19:46] the consequences of low water levels on the Dniester. We know that these consequences
[00:19:50] are not critical, but very tangible
[00:19:53] for our partner countries, in particular where
[00:19:56] nuclear power plants stop. For Moldova, how difficult
[00:20:00] is this situation, well, in Romania, for example, they blew up rocks
[00:20:04] to expand the riverbed, to again somehow influence this.
[00:20:11] But in any case, we understand that there are certain
[00:20:13] trend changes, this is also low water on the Tisa in Hungary, which also
[00:20:17] leads to this, and here the question is what
[00:20:21] are the assessments for the future, because again, today I read
[00:20:24] that the prospect of even greater shallowing of the river
[00:20:28] exists, that is, this is not the end, what could be, how can this affect
[00:20:31] first of all
[00:20:34] shipping, navigation and of course, the movement
[00:20:38] of goods and services, because we understand, this is a key issue, which, by the way,
[00:20:41] if we also talked about grain, please, please,
[00:20:44] well, for Moldova, this is one of the key topics now, because it's
[00:20:48] not about navigation as such
[00:20:51] on the Dniester for Moldova, but about water
[00:20:54] supply, because approximately
[00:20:57] 80% of Moldova's residents somehow
[00:21:00] use water from the Dniester. Water from the Dniester
[00:21:03] is used for consumption
[00:21:07] by people in Chișinău and
[00:21:10] Bălți, these are the two
[00:21:13] largest cities on the right bank of
[00:21:16] the Dniester in Moldova. So. yes, for
[00:21:20] Moldova, this is a very important
[00:21:24] topic, and we understand that
[00:21:27] with this
[00:21:31] now, we can't fix this situation now, because
[00:21:35] there's just too little rain in the Carpathians, too little
[00:21:38] water, into
[00:21:41] the Dniester reservoir now flows
[00:21:44] about 35-40, 40
[00:21:47] cubic meters of water per second. And
[00:21:50] the Dniester HPP discharges about 85-100,
[00:21:53] 85-100,
[00:21:56] due to the fact that there is a reservoir, and its
[00:21:59] level is now falling, and this level is critically
[00:22:02] needed for the water intakes
[00:22:05] to work, which supply
[00:22:08] Chișinău, Chișinău and Bălți, so
[00:22:11] for Moldova, this is a very, very important and very painful
[00:22:15] topic, well, and Chișinău
[00:22:18] called on Transnistria not to reduce the discharge
[00:22:21] of water from the reservoir on
[00:22:24] the Dniester, this is also a very important
[00:22:27] story about ensuring the key cities in
[00:22:31] Moldova, how does the Transnistrian
[00:22:34] authorities react,
[00:22:37] does Tiraspol generally react to this
[00:22:40] call?
[00:22:45] I can't say for
[00:22:48] sure now whether the discharge from the Dubossary reservoir
[00:22:51] has decreased, this is a reservoir and
[00:22:55] a power plant that is controlled by
[00:22:58] Transnistrian separatists, it's just
[00:23:02] interesting that Tiraspol previously accused
[00:23:05] Chișinău and Kyiv of deliberately
[00:23:09] creating a water crisis
[00:23:10] and ignoring the interests
[00:23:14] of the left bank, so they are trying to gain
[00:23:17] some political points from this, it's
[00:23:22] very... to politicize this issue, but still,
[00:23:25] all the same, uh, when
[00:23:29] and uh, it comes
[00:23:32] to some common interests of the two banks
[00:23:35] of the Dniester, then still
[00:23:38] Chișinău finds,
[00:23:41] finds some opportunities for cooperation
[00:23:45] with separatists on the left bank, so I don't think
[00:23:50] there will be any
[00:23:53] big problems with the discharge
[00:23:56] of water, the trouble is that
[00:23:59] there is less water, and this
[00:24:02] is the problem,
[00:24:05] if we talk about the overall situation, well, let's move from economic
[00:24:09] and ecological
[00:24:11] topics to political and military ones, what is the situation
[00:24:15] in this enclave called
[00:24:18] the Transnistrian Republic? Are there any threats again for Moldova itself, for
[00:24:22] Ukraine, because now this topic is, well, as they say, not on the front pages, but
[00:24:26] before that there was information that there were threats, it was possible, there was talk of
[00:24:30] generally disarming and destroying this enclave from the side
[00:24:33] of Moldova, there were threats about whether there would be any attacks, offensives
[00:24:36] towards Ukrainian territory, and now, well, are there any
[00:24:40] movements, statements, actions, possibly with
[00:24:43] Russia's participation, again, please,
[00:24:44] please.
[00:24:47] Well, there is located... uh,
[00:24:51] illegally located Russian military
[00:24:54] contingent, it is no longer so large and combat-ready,
[00:24:57] but still it is impossible not to take it
[00:25:01] into account, and if we talk about the current situation,
[00:25:04] then we do not observe any direct
[00:25:07] military threats to Moldova or Ukraine there,
[00:25:10] but still this military, Russian military
[00:25:14] presence is illegal.
[00:25:18] illegal.
[00:25:22] from Chișinău's point of view, it
[00:25:26] cannot but cause concern
[00:25:29] for Kyiv and Chișinău, and Ukraine
[00:25:33] must keep, pull back some part of its
[00:25:37] armed forces in order to still
[00:25:39] control
[00:25:42] this section of our common border in
[00:25:45] the Transnistrian direction, so yes,
[00:25:49] there are no immediate military risks
[00:25:52] now, but still
[00:25:55] this is such a constant,
[00:25:57] constant point of tension
[00:26:01] between our countries.
[00:26:03] And now the economic and
[00:26:07] financial situation is gradually degrading, you
[00:26:10] know that back in early 2025,
[00:26:14] Russia reduced the volume of gas it supplies
[00:26:17] there, so they, they don't
[00:26:21] have enough money now, they are cutting all their expenses in order
[00:26:25] to provide at least
[00:26:28] salaries for their public sector employees, primarily
[00:26:31] for... that very security apparatus of this separatist
[00:26:35] republic, so all this allows
[00:26:38] us to hope that
[00:26:42] in the coming years
[00:26:45] we will be able to solve this problem peacefully.
[00:26:49] Well, let us remind you that on the territory of unrecognized Transnistria
[00:26:53] there is one of the largest ammunition
[00:26:56] depots in Eastern Europe, there are more than 20 thousand tons,
[00:26:59] and this is... Kolbasna,
[00:27:02] we understand that for the Russian Federation,
[00:27:06] this is a separate point, and just in
[00:27:09] April of this year, Shoigu, Secretary of the Security
[00:27:13] Council of Russia, warned Kyiv against
[00:27:17] attempts to seize ammunition depots in
[00:27:20] Transnistria, well, in short, this is such a separate, very important
[00:27:23] story for them, at the same time, if we
[00:27:26] are talking about Moldova's progress towards the European
[00:27:30] Union, then it is probably worth noting that
[00:27:34] at the end of July the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia
[00:27:37] Sandu, received Kirsten
[00:27:40] Joff, the head of the European
[00:27:43] Union's Partnership Mission in the Republic of Moldova, within
[00:27:46] the framework of a protocol meeting,
[00:27:48] and it is important to understand here, we are following
[00:27:52] how European integration
[00:27:54] currently taking place and being implemented in Ukraine, how this
[00:27:58] is happening in Moldova, to what extent our pace.
[00:28:01] Well, formally, we
[00:28:07] are currently moving
[00:28:11] in a single package, so we
[00:28:14] have opened the same negotiating clusters with
[00:28:18] the European Union,
[00:28:20] so gradually due to the fact
[00:28:24] that still
[00:28:26] the European Commission
[00:28:29] has several times slightly
[00:28:32] better assessed Moldova's movement towards
[00:28:36] the European Union, the implementation of various
[00:28:38] reforms, there is also talk in Chișinău
[00:28:42] about the fact
[00:28:45] that it might be better to break
[00:28:48] this link a bit, and in Brussels
[00:28:51] they said that nevertheless, further
[00:28:54] European integration of our countries will primarily depend
[00:28:58] on the pace of implementation of reforms, on the pace of implementation.
[00:29:07] I will clarify, that is, in Chișinău there are sympathizers of
[00:29:11] currently separating Ukraine and Moldova at a certain
[00:29:14] stage, at least.
[00:29:17] Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I, I would not say that this is some kind of mainstream
[00:29:20] opinion, but still, nevertheless,
[00:29:22] they are talking
[00:29:25] about it, and, but still, in Chișinău
[00:29:28] they understand that at least for now...
[00:29:33] Ukraine continues
[00:29:36] to defend itself, the war continues,
[00:29:40] to resist Russian military aggression,
[00:29:44] such a disunity, it will give, well, not
[00:29:48] a very, very good signal for the same Kremlin,
[00:29:51] the Kremlin may see this as the European Union
[00:29:55] somehow abandons
[00:29:57] Ukraine, or reduces its
[00:30:00] support, so I don't think so. I think that as long as the war continues,
[00:30:04] this link will somehow be
[00:30:07] broken, and I hope so, so in
[00:30:10] tandem one can move, in principle, I
[00:30:14] know what I wanted to ask about, in Moldova up to
[00:30:17] 130,000 Ukrainians live, well at least this information was
[00:30:20] announced by the Prime Minister of Moldova, Alexandru
[00:30:23] Montianu, on February 10, at a joint press conference with
[00:30:27] Yulia Svyrydenko, the former head of the Ukrainian government, 80 thousand
[00:30:30] 87 Ukrainians use. In Moldova, the mechanism of temporary
[00:30:34] protection for 2.5 million Moldovan citizens
[00:30:37] is a considerable number of people, 130 00 - how do
[00:30:41] Ukrainians and Moldovans
[00:30:44] generally coexist, because, you know, we don't talk much about it, nothing
[00:30:47] like that happens, it's just there, in general, almost 1.5
[00:30:51] million Ukrainians passed through Moldova in transit to use
[00:30:54] protection in the European Union.
