00:00:00and unfold all this, Europeans, they just, they didn't
00:00:03believe it during the first years of the war, which we had, remember, yes, that the war
00:00:07sooner or later would come to them, it was somewhere there
00:00:10on the side, just as it's hard
00:00:14to de-preserve and remember
00:00:17this story, so it's already harder
00:00:20to turn it back in case of anything, that is, maybe
00:00:24horses are harder to harness, but it's also hard to stop them,
00:00:27and here, in fact, regarding a more
00:00:30distant perspective, given what you said, the Russian
00:00:34Federation is not disappearing anywhere, and unfortunately, the fact that it is not disappearing, as
00:00:38medieval Frenchmen said, yes, well, unfortunately, the fact that it is not
00:00:42disappearing means new challenges for us,
00:00:45for our economy, for our business. The Russian Federation destroyed
00:00:49two logistics centers of Epicenter in Kyiv and
00:00:51the region, the Nova Poshta sorting center, hit the heart of Novus logistics,
00:00:54Silpo warehouses, six people died.
00:00:58Ukrzaliznytsia is constantly
00:01:02under shelling, and these are only
00:01:06the biggest players right now. If
00:01:09we talk about how the state intends to support
00:01:13business, then in the government they say that they will provide
00:01:16businesses with priority access to premises so that they can
00:01:20decentralize warehouses, says Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky at
00:01:23an emergency meeting with business representatives, so I would like
00:01:26to understand if this will help in the same way?
00:01:33The approach to decentralization worked in our energy sector,
00:01:36and before, similar methods were used for fuel,
00:01:40will it work for business, Kristina,
00:01:43let's look at it from two sides, I've commented on this not for the first time,
00:01:47everyone is worried about business, no one is worried about
00:01:51the Ukrainian consumer, about the ordinary Ukrainian who goes to
00:01:54the store, what awaits him as a result of
00:01:58this story, but we will discuss this a little later, look,
00:02:02what happened to us today,
00:02:05so the security issue is changing
00:02:08in essence, Russian shelling and war are now forcing
00:02:12Ukrainian businesses to change the scheme
00:02:15they used to work with, including retail chains, we had
00:02:19what is called concentration in economics, and
00:02:23in other words, as people say, when large retail chains
00:02:26conducted an aggressive policy, they went...
00:02:30first to regional centers, then district centers, then towns,
00:02:33then large villages and gradually, what did they do,
00:02:37they squeezed out these small kiosks, small private
00:02:40shops, because a retail chain always has advantages, and
00:02:44it's more comfortable there, in one place there is more goods, and
00:02:48of course we as buyers went there, but this had
00:02:51a downside, because economics is not a black and white movie,
00:02:54economics is like a rainbow, where seven
00:02:58colors for someone is green. color someone wins, for someone yellow
00:03:01color, that's danger, someone also has red color, then he
00:03:05loses, as a result of which
00:03:08such a thing arose, you know, like monopolism of large retail chains, which began
00:03:12to dictate terms to food
00:03:15producers,
00:03:18I agree with you, this is a process that is simply objective,
00:03:21it was, it has its results, but at the same time, it is important
00:03:24to note how the state took
00:03:28an unclear position in promoting small and
00:03:32medium-sized businesses, so that they could at least, I would say,
00:03:35Kristina, more diplomatically, that large retail chains had greater
00:03:39political opportunities to lobby their interests compared to small
00:03:43and medium-sized businesses. As of today, due to
00:03:46the war, due to Russian strikes, this scheme
00:03:49is ending, and we see this, and when yesterday presidential advisor
00:03:52Serhiy Flash directly calls on retail chains to
00:03:56and not only retail chains, that we need to abandon large...
00:04:00centers, we need to abandon car
00:04:03enterprises where dozens, or even hundreds
00:04:06of cars were concentrated, we need to do deconcentration,
00:04:09that is, to switch to medium and
00:04:12small warehouses, we need
00:04:15to make it more mobile,
00:04:18in the end, we return, but there is nothing new, as they say, well
00:04:22forgotten old, when there was such a slogan from field to
00:04:25table, that is, then, when retail chains will
00:04:28have to negotiate and... with food
00:04:31producers, that it will not go to warehouses, as
00:04:35it was before, but will go directly to
00:04:37stores, that is, first of all, I would like to appeal to
00:04:41Ukrainians, not to panic, now
00:04:44is a great moment for Russian propaganda to destabilize
00:04:47the situation, to tell everyone that everything is lost, that tomorrow there will be empty
00:04:51shelves in stores, run and buy food
00:04:54products, cereals, sugar, salt,
00:04:57canned goods, no need to run anywhere, no need to
00:05:00buy anything, and there may be some
00:05:03certain interruptions in retail chains, especially those in Kyiv, in the Kyiv
00:05:06region, some certain goods may, for a certain time,
00:05:10disappear. If we take it on an all-Ukrainian
00:05:13scale, this will not happen, why? Because
00:05:17for us, large retail chains are mostly
00:05:19cities, and you know, towns and villages
00:05:23traditionally, people go to the market
00:05:25to shop, and if we talk about
00:05:28retail, about e-commerce, then when we talk about
00:05:32Rozetka, which suffered, which is our main
00:05:35such a mat-market, Aurora is our America, our e-commerce
00:05:39in the total trade turnover occupies about 10%.
00:05:43Why is it not as painful for us as for Russians, because for Russians
00:05:46it's almost up to 30%, and through Wildberries they bought
00:05:50almost 50% of non-food products, that is,
00:05:53clothes, shoes, stationery, household
00:05:57goods, household appliances, so for them it is
00:06:00much more painful than for us, we only have
00:06:0310%, we prefer to buy our own, so
00:06:07first of all, I would like to urge Ukrainians not to run
00:06:10to the store today and nothing. Don't buy in advance, because such
00:06:14an option is possible. Second option, what can
00:06:17change? Of course, logistical losses, losses
00:06:21that business suffered today, this is a tragedy, and human
00:06:24lives that, unfortunately, were lost,
00:06:27and goods, so how our system works in our
00:06:31large stores, goods are taken on
00:06:34consignment, stores do not buy out goods from the manufacturer, they
00:06:37take them for one to two weeks to one to two months, sell them,
00:06:41their margin is 10, 15, 20% depending on
00:06:45the group of goods, thanks to which the store lives, and then, when it
00:06:48sold the goods, it settles with the manufacturer,
00:06:52therefore, of course, that now to calculate, it will simply be
00:06:55nothing, so most likely, I think, measures will be proposed by the government
00:06:59regarding tax holidays, regarding
00:07:02payment deferrals, maybe there will be something that is still
00:07:06official information, there is no wider information,
00:07:10maybe there will be preferential lending, because
00:07:13all the goods that were destroyed, there are not
00:07:16many own retail chains, and retail
00:07:19chains are owners of warehouses, and not even all of them, most of them
00:07:23rent, so the owners suffered, but when we talk
00:07:26about thousands, and retail chains work with thousands
00:07:29of producers, then they undoubtedly suffered, obviously for them
00:07:33there will be either tax holidays, or a deferral,
00:07:36installment payment, or preferential lending,
00:07:39so can it get more expensive, yes it can?
00:07:42How much more expensive, of course, is another question, if
00:07:46we take the cost, say, of a conditional product that costs 100
00:07:49hryvnias, then logistics for us is 10-12 hryvnias, that is,
00:07:5210-12% of the value of the product sold in
00:07:56the store, and therefore to say that it will become 10%
00:07:59more expensive, well, I would not rush, because, for example,
00:08:03food products, especially vegetables, have a seasonal character, now
00:08:06vegetables are starting, our own potatoes have already
00:08:09appeared, the price for them is falling, so this... can
00:08:13compensate, so I do not assume
00:08:16that there will be any sharp jump in prices, most likely there will be no such thing,
00:08:25I saw in my Silpo near my house yesterday, that, well,
00:08:29this is not the first time such a story happens after shelling, it happens that some goods are simply
00:08:33not available, in certain departments there are clean shelves with
00:08:36nothing on them, well, this mainly concerns some food
00:08:39products and also fruits, vegetables are not supplied, that is, this
00:08:43will affect, I wonder if this will also affect the cost of certain goods,
00:08:47well, but, and I want to note that on the contrary, yesterday in one of the chains
00:08:50I noticed the appearance of recently
00:08:54disappeared products, unfortunately, also disappeared as a result of Russian
00:08:57attacks, and this gently indicates that they are trying
00:09:01to recover, and this is also great in fact, colleagues,
00:09:04economics is a self-regulating organization, if somewhere
00:09:07it failed, if one supplier left, a new one
00:09:11immediately appears in his place... don't worry, these interruptions
00:09:15may happen, but believe me, it's very temporary, it's very
00:09:19temporary, we didn't have empty shelves in the worst year of 2022,
00:09:30Ukraine, if the enemy has not captured our territory, does not make this
00:09:34famine artificial, as it was in 1932, 1933,
00:09:38or after the war in 1947 or in the 1920s,
00:09:41this is more difficult. But on the other hand, we understand that the enemy strikes not only
00:09:45at those warehouses where industrial
00:09:47products are stored, these are food, those or other consumer goods, of course,
00:09:51first of all, it is important for those warehouses
00:09:55where those things are stored that are needed for the war, here the enemy, of course,
00:09:58there are certain moments that you cannot replace in one day, and it is clear
00:10:02that, well, the question is that
00:10:05these areas, these premises,
00:10:08which will be provided by the state for the placement of certain
00:10:12goods. Of course, it is very important that they are kept
00:10:15in the strictest secrecy,
00:10:18because we see that, by the way, people are being detained now who were targeting
00:10:21ballistic missiles in Kyiv, and, by the way, outside Kyiv, for drone production. For
00:10:25military facilities, for these facilities, and in Odesa, and you look at these people, well,
00:10:29honestly, it makes you angry, but young people, young people who were caught somewhere in
00:10:32Telegram, offered money, they just did it this way, and I
00:10:36offer you some quite interesting information, a little
00:10:39bit of prehistory to it, we have already reported, let me remind you that the head of the Pentagon
00:10:43Pidgey Axed wrote on social media that we have
00:10:47no such problems with
00:10:50Patriot missile stocks in our warehouses, as CNN
00:10:54previously reported. He, well, in fact, tried
00:10:57to justify this situation, while US President Donald Trump's frustration
00:11:01with the war with Iran reached its peak last
00:11:05week at Camp David, where he demanded from
00:11:08Pentagon chief Pete Haxat an explanation as to why
00:11:11he was, apparently, misled regarding the acute
00:11:15shortage of ammunition, which currently threatens to limit military
00:11:19capabilities in the conflict with Iran, The Washington Post writes, citing
00:11:22sources familiar with the conversation.
00:11:26The conversation allegedly took place on Friday on the sidelines of a Cabinet
00:11:29meeting, where Trump expressed his frustration to Haxat,
00:11:32stating that he believed the ammunition problem
00:11:36had been resolved. In short,
00:11:39it is currently unclear who stands where,
00:11:43who proves that there is enough ammunition, who says that there is
00:11:46indeed too little. CNN journalists said that
00:11:49resource depletion reached
00:11:5180%, and in fact, the level of
00:11:55necessary ammunition, particularly
00:12:02is supposed to join us, an extraordinary and plenipotentiary envoy of the first class,
00:12:06and we will talk about many things on which
00:12:09today depends the course of the war in Ukraine, well,
00:12:12you know, not even the course of the war, here it depends more on Ukraine's
00:12:16capability, purely material, purely technical, in this
00:12:19war not just to participate, in this war to play
00:12:23a role and even dictate its policy to Russia, because to a large
00:12:27extent Ukraine today, by the way, like Russia, depends on the support
00:12:30of our partners, you know, when someone says that yes, Ukraine depends, Ukraine depends
00:12:34on this and that, Russia also depends, in many ways today Russia depends on,
00:12:38if it didn't depend, then actually North Koreans wouldn't be deploying
00:12:42in the Western time, that is, we understand that they are, by the way, preparing, as I understand it, for
00:12:46winter this unit, which will receive missiles from
00:12:49Korea, will, as they say, continuously hit Kyiv, this is a great threat, I think that the main task,
00:12:53which the president has definitely given, is to identify the location of this
00:12:57Korean unit and force it to return home,
00:13:00well, obviously, we will talk about
00:13:04the reactions in the civilized world to what Russians are doing
00:13:08to the Ukrainian capital, to the Kyiv
00:13:28Ambassador Katerina Maternova published a lengthy post with details of the night
00:13:32attacks by the Russian Federation on Kyiv and its suburbs, emphasizing that
00:13:36the new regularity of ballistic attacks exhausts Ukrainians, a similar attempt
00:13:40to break Kyiv. There was
00:13:43also a reaction from Emmanuel Macron, the President
00:13:47of France, he, in response to the missile
00:13:50attack, stated that, despite the fact that Russia again chose its method
00:13:54of attacking civilians, support for Ukraine will
00:13:58intensify, not simply remain at
00:14:01the same level, and we will not retreat, no matter how long it takes, but
00:14:04it will intensify. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs
00:14:07of Poland also issued a statement, a reaction to
00:14:11another massive Russian attack on civilian targets.
00:14:14The main targets, let us recall, were warehouses of civilian enterprises, infrastructure
00:14:18facilities and a railway station,
00:14:21which they commented on tonight.
00:14:24Another attack on civilian targets in Ukraine, people died, in particular, people who
00:14:28were waiting for a train, wrote the spokesperson of the Polish
00:14:31Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and also drew attention to the video from Kherson, which has been circulating
00:14:35in recent days, where a Russian drone actually hunts an absolutely
00:14:39civilian fruit and vegetable seller, if I am not
00:14:42mistaken, in short, yes, what the Russian
00:14:45Federation is doing in Ukraine causes vivid
00:14:49reactions, the only question is whether this will really lead to
00:14:52strengthening or a revision
00:14:55of the support
00:15:03these are international crimes that Russia
00:15:06is committing on the territory of Ukraine, and each
00:15:09fact is added to
00:15:12the list, the list of those international crimes,
00:15:16we see a very strong
00:15:20reaction, we see support, we see an increase
00:15:23in funding.
00:15:25The only thing that interests all of us is when will Russia
00:15:28stop, because
00:15:30in four years there have been a huge
00:15:33number of international crimes that Russia
00:15:36has committed, and many people say
00:15:40that there is no way out for the Russians, for the
00:15:44leadership, that too many red
00:15:48lines have been crossed, too many crimes have been committed,
00:15:51and therefore they are afraid to
00:15:54stop the war, I don't think so, I think that in the near
00:15:58future, I hope, I believe in this, that there will be
00:16:01a cessation of hostilities, that is what our president says
00:16:04on the front line, and we will
00:16:07begin full-scale negotiations with the participation of not only
00:16:11America-Russia, but with the participation of many countries that
00:16:15can no longer watch all this, and
00:16:18the fact that the Ambassador of the European Union monitors
00:16:22what is happening in Kyiv, writes emotionally, this is very important, because
00:16:25for
00:16:28the European Union and countries, they
00:16:30see directly
00:16:33their representative of their European Union, who
00:16:36writes about it, writes about a wedding in
00:16:40September, which is supposed to take place, we saw this in the post,
00:16:44I hope that already in September, her
00:16:47employee's wedding will already be planned in silence without
00:16:51shelling. Meanwhile, information appears that in
00:16:55July in Vienna there was a meeting of former high-ranking officials of Great Britain, France,
00:16:58Germany and Russia, its purpose was to discuss possible conditions for holding
00:17:02peace talks on ending the war in Ukraine, Bloomberg writes,
00:17:05the group included former UK National Security Advisor
00:17:09Tim Barrow,
00:17:12Markus Ederer from Germany,
00:17:15Pierre Vimont, a French diplomat, very experienced,
00:17:18refused to name the former Kremlin official who participated in
00:17:21the meeting. You just noted that you very much hope that some
00:17:25negotiation processes will be resumed and not only with the participation of the United States,
00:17:29but also a wider range, including European countries, can it be said that
00:17:32at such informal meetings questions are now being decided
00:17:36who exactly will represent.
00:17:38and on what basis, well, and on the territory of neutral Austria
00:17:46it is very important that these contacts, which
00:17:49are classified, are taking place, it is very important that some diplomatic
00:17:53moments are being worked out, it is very important from the
00:17:56point of view of subsequent official
00:17:59negotiations, because there are certain
00:18:03limits, where, for example, the Ukrainian
00:18:06side cannot... Russia demands
00:18:09territorial
00:18:12concessions, but Ukraine, I
00:18:16think, after four years of so many
00:18:19dead people, on our side the Armed Forces of Ukraine, civilians,
00:18:23no one will ever give the Russian Federation
00:18:27another square meter, and we have conveyed our
00:18:30position to other countries, and I think
00:18:33that this will be an important
00:18:37moment for
00:18:40Russia to withdraw troops from our, from the occupied
00:18:43territories, what in return, as in
00:18:46diplomacy concessions are accepted, what
00:18:49Ukraine will concede in exchange for
00:18:51de-occupation, well, I
00:18:54see, and there are articles,
00:18:57there are certain discussions about us
00:19:00stopping our path to NATO, well,
00:19:04that's just a theory, and what is actually being agreed upon.
00:19:07These unofficial meetings, we don't
00:19:11know, because it's classified, but I think that specific points
00:19:15and provisions of the future
00:19:18peace treaty are being worked out, and well, how can one
00:19:21not recall, I said in one word about NATO,
00:19:25I will not quote now, the Ambassador of Ukraine to Great Britain, Valeriy Zaluzhny, and
00:19:29then the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that they took Zaluzhny's words about NATO out of context,
00:19:32but in any case, a certain signal was
00:19:36sent, no matter how one interprets it, that is
00:19:39already a matter of free interpretation of what General
00:19:43and Ambassador of Ukraine to Britain, Valeriy Zaluzhny, said about NATO, but in any
00:19:46case, if this is a subject of negotiations, then sooner or
00:19:49later we will find out about it, I can only add, because it is very
00:19:53important, those negotiations that took place in Vienna in July,
00:19:56they are not related to the current policy of the states
00:20:00that, in the person of their former officials, conducted
00:20:04certain contacts there, this is important, yes, well, and you see
00:20:07that... after this regular strike that Russia inflicted on
00:20:10Ukraine, using, by the way, North Korean ballistic
00:20:14missiles, which is important, this once again indicates that North Korea is a full participant in this
00:20:18war, that is, there was Belarus, now there is North Korea, well, one way or another, Iran, because
00:20:21it transferred Shaheds, well, and we know that China also transfers many technologies,
00:20:25although it distances itself from this, but Europe also reacted,
00:20:29Von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, stated that after this strike on
00:20:33Kyiv, she announced that the EU would transfer to Ukraine 1.4 billion profits from frozen
00:20:37assets. Russian Federation. Here is another important story. Sweden. The Kingdom
00:20:40of Sweden will for the first time transfer to Ukraine a vessel of the Russian
00:20:44Federation's shadow fleet. Andriy Sybiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, welcomed this
00:20:47decision. This is the ship Kafa, as far as I understand. and it transported
00:20:51stolen grain from stolen Crimea, occupied Crimea by the enemy,
00:20:54and now it has finally been detained and transferred to Ukraine. How positive
00:20:58this moment is, I am talking more about the vessel now, because this is the first time this is happening, and
00:21:02can we expect that there will be a continuation of this story, how painful is it for Russia, they have many of these vessels,
00:21:05we understand, but such a precedent, how important is it, please,
00:21:15Russia are welcomed in Ukraine, Russia is not pleased
00:21:18that its property is being transferred, Russia is not pleased that its billions are frozen
00:21:22at the Central Bank, from which we are now receiving almost 2
00:21:25billion in next
00:21:28aid, but
00:21:31these are piecemeal steps
00:21:35that, so to speak,
00:21:39are working slowly,
00:21:42that is, step by step, we see that Russia
00:21:46is fighting with the whole world, with all
00:21:51countries, the United States, we would
00:21:53like China
00:21:56to take such a sharp
00:22:00side of Ukraine, but we see
00:22:02certain moments, for example, threats of nuclear
00:22:06nuclear strike, China sharply negatively
00:22:10reacts, America supports China's
00:22:13statements, that is, these specific, and
00:22:16aid from the European Union, and
00:22:19the transfer of the ship by Sweden,
00:22:21this all contributes to
00:22:24Russia being a pariah country, and that
00:22:28Russia is fighting against the whole world, how it
00:22:31is perceived in Russia, it is difficult for me to say, because
00:22:34I think that there are enough people there who
00:22:37will also make some decision and there will be
00:22:40a change of power in Russia, because
00:22:44drop by drop of these economic
00:22:47sanctions, these statements
00:22:50against Russia, it will play its role,
00:22:54yes, well, let's now talk about what Russia
00:22:57is doing, or is suspected of doing on
00:23:00Russian territory, on the territory of the European Union, in particular,
00:23:04the special services of the Russian Federation planned an assassination attempt on the head of a German drone manufacturer,
00:23:07before that, a few years ago, well, more or less somewhere there, it was
00:23:11about years, there was information about the preparation of an assassination attempt on the head
00:23:14of a company that very actively helps Ukraine with
00:23:18heavy weapons. equipment
00:23:20and so on, in Germany they warn about the Matryoshka campaign
00:23:24of the Russian Federation on the eve of the elections, there should be presidential elections in Germany,
00:23:27let me remind you in 2027, well, and here is another very important story,
00:23:31at night at Leipzig airport, this is eastern, if I'm not mistaken, Germany,
00:23:35drones with explosives and detonators were found on the ground, and Ukrainian cargo
00:23:39planes, AN-225s, as far as I understand, or
00:23:42which large cargo planes were involved,
00:23:45who is not doing their job, so to speak, who is not
00:23:48is refining... in this matter, if we recall the history of Russia,
00:23:52when drones crossed the air corridor that President Zelensky's plane
00:23:56was flying through in Ireland, let's recall that story and
00:23:59there have been numerous such stories. Please tell me, is this a shortcoming
00:24:03of the special services in the European Union, or an inadequate assessment of threats from
00:24:07Russia by individual states?
00:24:10Well, Mr. Vasyl, it's difficult to say who is failing
00:24:13to do their job here. This speaks
00:24:17to generalizing facts. We can say
00:24:21that Russia is a terrorist state, and
00:24:24these facts that make it into the press, we understand that
00:24:28not all facts make it into the press, there is classified
00:24:31information, because these are special services, this is military
00:24:35equipment, this is for citizens,
00:24:38who
00:24:40are from the European Union and Germany in this case, who
00:24:44help Ukraine
00:24:47with military equipment, so these are... such generalizing
00:24:51facts, this is yet another proof, not just one, but many proofs that
00:24:55Russia is a terrorist
00:24:58state, and this
00:25:01is generalized, analyzed,
00:25:04and I think that of course, special services, we
00:25:08understand that they have their
00:25:11capabilities to operate on Russian territory, there are secret
00:25:15agents, no one has canceled that,
00:25:18and... perhaps there
00:25:21is
00:25:24also a limit that Russia can cross, and then there will be
00:25:27a reaction from special services
00:25:30against Russia, but as a diplomat,
00:25:33it is difficult for me to analyze the actions of special services, I am not
00:25:37an employee of a special service, but the fact that this
00:25:40says that Russia is a terrorist state and is committing
00:25:44further international crimes, well, that's a fact. And now at the very end,
00:25:48it's also a very important
00:25:50topic, because Russia, you see, influences not only by trying to blow something up somewhere, or trying
00:25:54to commit assassination attempts somewhere, it tries to quarrel
00:25:57partners, close nations, particularly Ukraine and Poland, it is said, and to
00:26:01sow discord. and bring this
00:26:04story to a boiling point. Well, now we're talking about attacks that are happening in Poland
00:26:07against Ukrainians by Poles, and against Poles by Ukrainians, by the way,
00:26:11as well. Let's listen to the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, who
00:26:15urged President Karol Nawrocki to side with those who fear violence on
00:26:19the streets of Poland, and to try
00:26:29to unequivocally side with those who today fear violence
00:26:33and rudeness on the streets, which are typically demonstrated by semi-criminal
00:26:36formations, often associated with hooligan groups. I would
00:26:40prefer this to be clear. I know that people are increasingly
00:26:43afraid that something will happen to them right on the street. I would like
00:26:47President Nawrocki to stand guard over people's safety, and not to show
00:26:51favoritism to those associated with
00:26:52disorder.
00:26:55Well, and let's just remind you that next year in six European
00:26:58countries, there will be elections in seven countries, some of which are parliamentary elections. In
00:27:02two countries, France and Germany, presidential elections, in Germany the president
00:27:05is not the first person of the state, of course, there the prime minister in the Bundestag
00:27:09forms policy, in France the president is the first person who
00:27:13actually decides issues, well, in Poland there will also be elections, and in fact, whether
00:27:16these attempts to raise the degree of confrontation, perhaps
00:27:20inspired by someone, these attacks that are happening, how much of this can really
00:27:23be Russia's work and how should
00:27:27we act here, we are now talking about Poland in order to minimize this
00:27:36special services there are, ours have repeatedly
00:27:39said, which departments named the numbers of these
00:27:42departments in the Russian Federation special services that
00:27:46are engaged in this discord between
00:27:49neighboring states with Ukraine, from my own experience, from
00:27:531995-1997, I worked at the embassy in
00:27:56Romania, we saw how Russian special services did
00:27:59everything so that we could not sign the basic
00:28:02political agreement on the borders and on the recognition of
00:28:06Snake Island, Snake Island as our territory, Russian
00:28:10special services did a lot, we saw it, recorded it, monitored it, when
00:28:14I worked as consul general in Istanbul in 2006-2010,
00:28:16President Viktor
00:28:20Yushchenko was president, so I remember that the same thing happened against me and
00:28:24personally because we were doing our
00:28:27work regarding the visit of Patriarch Bartholomew,
00:28:31uh project... Tomos, which then failed,
00:28:34due to certain reasons,
00:28:37the visit of Patriarch Bartholomew in
00:28:402008, we saw,
00:28:43directly monitored how Russian special services act
00:28:46against this
00:28:49direction, that is, I have direct,
00:28:51practical experience that Russia
00:28:55causes discord, and returning to
00:28:58Poland, Poland itself sees
00:29:02that... Russia uses
00:29:05negative pages from our history and
00:29:08uses foreign citizens, pays them
00:29:20political leadership is important, although there was a statement from
00:29:23the President Nawrocki's office, who also condemned and said
00:29:27that it should not happen from any
00:29:57of silence the memory of Ukrainian military personnel and peaceful
