00:00:12Let us honor with a minute of silence the memory of Ukrainian
00:00:16soldiers and civilians of Ukraine who died in the
00:00:19war unleashed by
00:00:22Russia.
00:01:10The city lives, drinks coffee, plans
00:01:13vacations, takes stories, the windows
00:01:16don't shine, children laugh, squares
00:01:19are full, it's comfortable, warm,
00:01:22quiet,
00:01:26but this silence is fake.
00:01:35Every minute is worth blood, you live in
00:01:38an illusion, in the illusion that the war is somewhere far away,
00:01:42an illusion is not a bulletproof vest,
00:01:45wake up, everyone can be useful, every
00:01:48gesture, every action is important,
00:01:52the war will not end without
00:01:54you.
00:03:43Warsaw-Kyiv, the most important news at this hour, I will tell you in detail.
00:03:46Three people died due to Russian strikes
00:03:49on Balakliia in Kharkiv region. This was reported by the head of the city military
00:03:52administration Vitaliy Karabanov. The occupiers twice attacked the residential
00:03:56microdistrict of the city. The first strike destroyed a private house,
00:04:00a woman, a fire broke out at the scene, the second arrival happened near another
00:04:04house and claimed the lives of a man and a woman, relevant
00:04:07services are working at the sites
00:04:09of enemy strikes.
00:04:12And one person died, four more were wounded as a result of enemy attacks in
00:04:16Zaporizhzhia region, reported the head of Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration
00:04:20Ivan Fedorov. During the day, the occupiers launched over a thousand
00:04:23strikes on 66 settlements
00:04:26of the region, 77
00:04:30infrastructure facilities, housing and
00:04:32cars.
00:04:35And in July, Ukraine recorded the largest number of civilian casualties
00:04:38since April 2022. This was
00:04:41reported by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. According to the
00:04:45organization, the main reason was the intensification of Russian attacks using
00:04:49ballistic missiles and long-range drones,
00:04:53only as a result of a massive strike on Kyiv and the region on the night of August 5,
00:04:56at least 17 civilians died and
00:05:00were wounded. The UN also noted that in the first half of this
00:05:04year, they confirmed the death
00:05:06of 1396
00:05:08Ukrainian civilians and the wounding of almost 8 thousand people.
00:05:12This is 37% more than in the same period
00:05:16last year.
00:05:20Uninterrupted operation of electricity, heat and water supply systems,
00:05:23protection of critical infrastructure facilities, strengthening
00:05:26of air defense and development of a network of shelters.
00:05:29The National Security and Defense Council approved Kyiv's
00:05:33resilience plan. The document aims to prepare the capital for possible
00:05:36Russian attacks on critical infrastructure during
00:05:39the autumn-winter period, which is supposed to begin normally
00:05:43in mid-October, said NSDC Secretary Ihor
00:05:46Klymenko. According to him, the implementation has already begun.
00:05:50We remind you that in March, the NSDC approved comprehensive
00:05:53resilience plans for regions and individual
00:05:56cities.
00:05:59Ukraine is negotiating with neighboring countries to
00:06:02ensure the uninterrupted operation of solidarity lanes
00:06:06for grain exports. This was stated by the head of the Ministry
00:06:09of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sebiha. According to the
00:06:12official, consultations are ongoing with Moldova, Romania,
00:06:16Slovakia, Hungary and Poland. And the solidarity
00:06:19lanes are alternative logistical routes
00:06:22that the European Commission created in May 2022
00:06:26after the blocking of Ukrainian seaports. They
00:06:30ensure the export of products and the import of necessary
00:06:33goods by various roads and waterways.
00:06:37waterways.
00:06:41In the Russian city of Yaroslavl, explosions were heard at night during a drone
00:06:45attack, the Slaneft oil refinery
00:06:48could have been hit, Telegram channels write.
00:06:51The governor of Yaroslavl region confirmed the attack, according to him, traffic
00:06:55was temporarily blocked at the exit from Yaroslavl in the direction of Moscow. Local residents
00:06:58also reported on social networks
00:07:02that they saw drones over the city and heard
00:07:05explosions.
00:07:12Another underground tunnel, which was probably prepared for illegal migration,
00:07:16was discovered on the border of Lithuania and Belarus, this was reported by the
00:07:20State Border Guard Service of Lithuania. The object
00:07:23was found on August 4 near the village of Letris,
00:07:27Letežeris using special equipment provided by Polish
00:07:30border guards. The passage was incomplete after
00:07:33investigative actions were carried out, it was filled in. This is not
00:07:37the first such case, law enforcement officers
00:07:38note.
00:07:43Poland handed over a new list of places for exhumations to Ukraine.
00:07:47A meeting of the intergovernmental working group on dignified
00:07:50burials was held in Lviv. The results of the implementation
00:07:53of the agreements reached during the previous meeting in Warsaw
00:07:57last year were summarized. This was reported by the first deputy minister of culture Ivan
00:08:00Verbytskyi. He noted that the Ukrainian side issued all
00:08:04permits for work in agreed locations on the territory of our
00:08:07state. Polish colleagues handed over a list of places for further
00:08:11work on the territory
00:08:13of Ukraine.
00:08:17New in politics, tough in his decisions and sensitive to
00:08:20historical topics. Such words can describe the current President of Poland
00:08:24Karol Nawrodski. Exactly a year ago, after winning the
00:08:28presidential elections, he took an oath to the people. What
00:08:31did the leader of the neighboring country remember during this period,
00:08:35see in our
00:08:36material.
00:08:43August 6, 2025, Karol
00:08:45Nawrodski and his wife Marta cross the threshold of the plenary hall
00:08:49of the Sejm after the solemn performance of the anthem, the newly elected President
00:08:53of Poland takes the oath. Solemnly
00:08:56swear to remain faithful to the provisions
00:08:59of the Constitution, to remain faithful to the provisions
00:09:02of the Constitution. Steadfastly stand guard
00:09:06over the dignity of the people. Steadfastly stand guard over the dignity
00:09:10of the people.
00:09:21and the good of the homeland and the welfare of citizens will always
00:09:25be my highest duty, will always be
00:09:28my highest duty. Nawrodski, an independent candidate
00:09:32supported by the Law and Justice party, won in the second
00:09:35round of elections in June 2025,
00:09:38before entering politics, he headed the Institute of National Remembrance.
00:09:42and conducted his campaign under the slogan Poland first,
00:09:45Poles first. I believe in Poland and will fight
00:09:49for it. I can say with full responsibility
00:09:52that I am ready to represent all
00:09:55Poles. He gathered voters around him with
00:09:59rhetoric regarding Ukraine, declared a tough stance on
00:10:03Kyiv, advocated limiting social support for war
00:10:06migrants, and questioned the Euro-Atlantic prospects
00:10:09of our state.
00:10:12As of now, I do not see Ukraine as a member of either the EU or
00:10:16NATO. A country that is not able to answer for a very
00:10:20cruel crime against 120 thousand of its
00:10:22neighbors cannot be.
00:10:27There were also public scandals around his person, the media
00:10:31wrote about his connections with football fans and accused him of working for
00:10:35a security firm that allegedly escorted prostitutes. Nawrodski himself
00:10:38called everything
00:10:40slander.
00:10:44After taking office, he began to fulfill his promises. In August
00:10:472025, he vetoed amendments to the law that
00:10:51provided for social payments for children 800+ and extended
00:10:55temporary protection for Ukrainians, instead proposing
00:10:58to link aid to employment and
00:11:01compulsory education of children in school, during Volodymyr
00:11:04Zelensky's visit to Warsaw in December, he reproached the Ukrainian authorities for
00:11:08ingratitude, which once again earned him public sympathy.
00:11:12How Nawrodski intends to guard
00:11:15the security of the state became known in March 2026.
00:11:19The President vetoed the European Defense
00:11:23Loan program "Save". Soon after, the streets of Poland were filled with protests, and
00:11:26the government had to look for plan
00:11:28B.
00:11:34In total, during the first year of his term, the Polish president blocked a record
00:11:38number of laws - 41, and also took away the Order of the White
00:11:41Eagle from Volodymyr Zelensky. The leaders managed to talk
00:11:44face-to-face again during the NATO summit in Ankara. However,
00:11:48regarding historical issues, according to Nawrodski himself, it was not
00:11:50possible to agree. I would add that despite
00:11:54the waves of tension in Polish-Ukrainian relations, Nawrodski's position on
00:11:58Russia's war against Ukraine is unchanged. He calls Putin
00:12:02a threat to Europe and calls for pressure on Moscow, and among
00:12:05the priorities of his first year in office are strengthening
00:12:09Poland's security, adjusting policy towards Ukraine, regional
00:12:13cooperation and striving for permanent membership in the G20.
00:12:16On July 29, Ibris sociologists conducted
00:12:20a survey, according to which more than 51%
00:12:23trust the current president.
00:12:31The Court of Appeal postponed the consideration of the case regarding the return of the Fifth Channel
00:12:35to the T2 digital air. The next session was scheduled for
00:12:39September 16 due to the absence of a representative of the Concern for Radio Broadcasting,
00:12:43Radio Communications and Television. On the Fifth Channel, it is believed that this
00:12:46concern may be involved in disconnecting the broadcaster from the network.
00:12:50The broadcaster hopes that after the continuation of the consideration, the court will make
00:12:53a decision on its return to the digital air.
00:12:56We remind you that in April 2022, the Fifth Channel, Pryamyi and Espreso
00:13:00were switched off from the T-2 digital air without any explanation. The illegal
00:13:04shutdown of the three channels was previously condemned by the European Commission and
00:13:08the US Department of
00:13:10State. We have many questions
00:13:14for the concern, because both the Cabinet of Ministers and the Communications
00:13:18Administration say they are innocent, respectively, it is very likely that the concern
00:13:22may be to blame for some... physically
00:13:26pressing a button and turning us off from T2. As of
00:13:29today, T-2, I understand, is about
00:13:3230% of those people who can
00:13:36reach television, who can see us. We don't have
00:13:39all these people, these viewers, today. today.
00:13:43That's all the news for today, more will be tomorrow morning, and
00:13:47the Ukrainian focus continues in just a few moments, we continue, stay with
00:13:50us.
00:14:25We invite the next guest to the conversation, with whom we will discuss important topics,
00:14:29including those related to our neighboring
00:14:32partner countries, with us Evgeniy Chaban, Chaban,
00:14:35editor of the independent Moldovan media Most, Mr. Evgeniy, welcome,
00:14:39thank you for joining our
00:14:48in Moldova, it's not the first time that fragments of enemy
00:14:51drones have been found, in particular the last time... fragments of a garage were
00:14:55found, how does society react
00:14:58to this in general, first of all, how noticeable is this event in Moldova, because we
00:15:01talk about the facts themselves, but we know little about the reaction in
00:15:05Moldova, and also about the possibilities to still,
00:15:09if such enemy drones fly into
00:15:12the territory of Moldova to then again strike the territory of Ukraine, how much
00:15:16consensus is there on whether to
00:15:20strike them, please, please,
00:15:23uh-huh, and... Well, yes, unfortunately,
00:15:26almost every month in
00:15:30Moldova there is news about one or another
00:15:33drone entering our
00:15:37airspace, and yes, of course, this causes
00:15:41indignation of a significant part of Moldovan
00:15:44society, the government
00:15:47is looking, well, now, as they joke in Moldova, we have
00:15:51the strangest air defense, which can only
00:15:53be, it comes down to the fact that
00:15:57the Moldovan Foreign Ministry summons the Russian
00:16:00ambassador after, after such
00:16:04incidents, but yes,
00:16:07it can be said that the Moldovan government is now
00:16:10looking for opportunities to somehow counteract
00:16:14and protect, protect the Moldovan sky from
00:16:17these drones,
00:16:19yes, unfortunately,
00:16:22there are drones that fall and detonate on the territory of the Republic
00:16:25of Moldova, including, not so long ago, one of
00:16:29the drones fell near our
00:16:33Transnistrian region, but on the right bank
00:16:36of the Dniester River.
00:16:39In fact, we understand that the neighborhood of two
00:16:43states entails cooperation in many
00:16:47areas, as of now, we have
00:16:50information that the President of Ukraine
00:16:53Volodymyr Zelensky met with the Deputy Prime Minister,
00:16:57Minister of Foreign Affairs of Moldova, and
00:17:00this happened just a few days ago, and according to the President,
00:17:04he was glad to see the Moldovan Minister at the annual meeting of
00:17:08Ukrainian ambassadors, noting that Popșoi's participation
00:17:12testifies to the common foreign policy priorities
00:17:15of Ukraine and Moldova, primarily in matters of security and
00:17:19European integration, our path to European
00:17:22integration, our path to the EU, we remind you, is
00:17:25synchronous, we are moving in a unified
00:17:28course and together,
00:17:31despite the fact that within the European Union there are individual forces, individual
00:17:35countries that want to divide Ukraine
00:17:38and... Moldova on this path, these latest
00:17:41actions of the Hungarian leadership testified to this,
00:17:45but there are common problems and challenges that need to be
00:17:48overcome, Ukraine is holding consultations with Moldova and
00:17:52other neighbors on expanding the infrastructure for exporting
00:17:55grain to third markets, we understand that we
00:17:58need this, and we would like to understand how much Moldova
00:18:02has resources to provide us with such
00:18:06opportunities for diversifying
00:18:08our exports.
00:18:11Well, I understand that first of all, it's about
00:18:13railway connections and
00:18:16accelerating the transit of Ukrainian grain through the territory
00:18:19of Moldova, this was talked about a lot
00:18:23by the new Prime Minister of Moldova Vasyl Tofan,
00:18:26who worked and lived
00:18:30in Kyiv for quite a long time,
00:18:33and he is set on
00:18:35such a very... good, very good interaction with
00:18:39colleagues from Kyiv,
00:18:42so he said that we will look for
00:18:46opportunities how to
00:18:50speed up, accelerate Ukrainian
00:18:54grain transit through the territory of Moldova so that
00:18:57this grain does not enter the Moldovan market and
00:19:01does not affect prices there, because as in other countries, in
00:19:04Moldova,
00:19:07ah, there is... a public discussion about this, Moldovan farmers
00:19:10also, also say that
00:19:13they have to compete with Ukrainian
00:19:17products, and the government cannot
00:19:21ignore this either, but once again
00:19:24I will say, once again I will repeat, the Moldovan
00:19:28Prime Minister Tofan
00:19:31said that he would, he would look for ways to
00:19:34provide...
00:19:37help to Ukraine so that it can export its grain, including
00:19:40through the territory of the Republic of Moldova. Yes, well, and
00:19:44let's talk about
00:19:46the consequences of low water levels on the Dniester. We know that these consequences
00:19:50are not critical, but very tangible
00:19:53for our partner countries, in particular where
00:19:56nuclear power plants stop. For Moldova, how difficult
00:20:00is this situation, well, in Romania, for example, they blew up rocks
00:20:04to expand the riverbed, to again somehow influence this.
00:20:11But in any case, we understand that there are certain
00:20:13trend changes, this is also low water on the Tisa in Hungary, which also
00:20:17leads to this, and here the question is what
00:20:21are the assessments for the future, because again, today I read
00:20:24that the prospect of even greater shallowing of the river
00:20:28exists, that is, this is not the end, what could be, how can this affect
00:20:31first of all
00:20:34shipping, navigation and of course, the movement
00:20:38of goods and services, because we understand, this is a key issue, which, by the way,
00:20:41if we also talked about grain, please, please,
00:20:44well, for Moldova, this is one of the key topics now, because it's
00:20:48not about navigation as such
00:20:51on the Dniester for Moldova, but about water
00:20:54supply, because approximately
00:20:5780% of Moldova's residents somehow
00:21:00use water from the Dniester. Water from the Dniester
00:21:03is used for consumption
00:21:07by people in Chișinău and
00:21:10Bălți, these are the two
00:21:13largest cities on the right bank of
00:21:16the Dniester in Moldova. So. yes, for
00:21:20Moldova, this is a very important
00:21:24topic, and we understand that
00:21:27with this
00:21:31now, we can't fix this situation now, because
00:21:35there's just too little rain in the Carpathians, too little
00:21:38water, into
00:21:41the Dniester reservoir now flows
00:21:44about 35-40, 40
00:21:47cubic meters of water per second. And
00:21:50the Dniester HPP discharges about 85-100,
00:21:5385-100,
00:21:56due to the fact that there is a reservoir, and its
00:21:59level is now falling, and this level is critically
00:22:02needed for the water intakes
00:22:05to work, which supply
00:22:08Chișinău, Chișinău and Bălți, so
00:22:11for Moldova, this is a very, very important and very painful
00:22:15topic, well, and Chișinău
00:22:18called on Transnistria not to reduce the discharge
00:22:21of water from the reservoir on
00:22:24the Dniester, this is also a very important
00:22:27story about ensuring the key cities in
00:22:31Moldova, how does the Transnistrian
00:22:34authorities react,
00:22:37does Tiraspol generally react to this
00:22:40call?
00:22:45I can't say for
00:22:48sure now whether the discharge from the Dubossary reservoir
00:22:51has decreased, this is a reservoir and
00:22:55a power plant that is controlled by
00:22:58Transnistrian separatists, it's just
00:23:02interesting that Tiraspol previously accused
00:23:05Chișinău and Kyiv of deliberately
00:23:09creating a water crisis
00:23:10and ignoring the interests
00:23:14of the left bank, so they are trying to gain
00:23:17some political points from this, it's
00:23:22very... to politicize this issue, but still,
00:23:25all the same, uh, when
00:23:29and uh, it comes
00:23:32to some common interests of the two banks
00:23:35of the Dniester, then still
00:23:38Chișinău finds,
00:23:41finds some opportunities for cooperation
00:23:45with separatists on the left bank, so I don't think
00:23:50there will be any
00:23:53big problems with the discharge
00:23:56of water, the trouble is that
00:23:59there is less water, and this
00:24:02is the problem,
00:24:05if we talk about the overall situation, well, let's move from economic
00:24:09and ecological
00:24:11topics to political and military ones, what is the situation
00:24:15in this enclave called
00:24:18the Transnistrian Republic? Are there any threats again for Moldova itself, for
00:24:22Ukraine, because now this topic is, well, as they say, not on the front pages, but
00:24:26before that there was information that there were threats, it was possible, there was talk of
00:24:30generally disarming and destroying this enclave from the side
00:24:33of Moldova, there were threats about whether there would be any attacks, offensives
00:24:36towards Ukrainian territory, and now, well, are there any
00:24:40movements, statements, actions, possibly with
00:24:43Russia's participation, again, please,
00:24:44please.
00:24:47Well, there is located... uh,
00:24:51illegally located Russian military
00:24:54contingent, it is no longer so large and combat-ready,
00:24:57but still it is impossible not to take it
00:25:01into account, and if we talk about the current situation,
00:25:04then we do not observe any direct
00:25:07military threats to Moldova or Ukraine there,
00:25:10but still this military, Russian military
00:25:14presence is illegal.
00:25:18illegal.
00:25:22from Chișinău's point of view, it
00:25:26cannot but cause concern
00:25:29for Kyiv and Chișinău, and Ukraine
00:25:33must keep, pull back some part of its
00:25:37armed forces in order to still
00:25:39control
00:25:42this section of our common border in
00:25:45the Transnistrian direction, so yes,
00:25:49there are no immediate military risks
00:25:52now, but still
00:25:55this is such a constant,
00:25:57constant point of tension
00:26:01between our countries.
00:26:03And now the economic and
00:26:07financial situation is gradually degrading, you
00:26:10know that back in early 2025,
00:26:14Russia reduced the volume of gas it supplies
00:26:17there, so they, they don't
00:26:21have enough money now, they are cutting all their expenses in order
00:26:25to provide at least
00:26:28salaries for their public sector employees, primarily
00:26:31for... that very security apparatus of this separatist
00:26:35republic, so all this allows
00:26:38us to hope that
00:26:42in the coming years
00:26:45we will be able to solve this problem peacefully.
00:26:49Well, let us remind you that on the territory of unrecognized Transnistria
00:26:53there is one of the largest ammunition
00:26:56depots in Eastern Europe, there are more than 20 thousand tons,
00:26:59and this is... Kolbasna,
00:27:02we understand that for the Russian Federation,
00:27:06this is a separate point, and just in
00:27:09April of this year, Shoigu, Secretary of the Security
00:27:13Council of Russia, warned Kyiv against
00:27:17attempts to seize ammunition depots in
00:27:20Transnistria, well, in short, this is such a separate, very important
00:27:23story for them, at the same time, if we
00:27:26are talking about Moldova's progress towards the European
00:27:30Union, then it is probably worth noting that
00:27:34at the end of July the President of the Republic of Moldova, Maia
00:27:37Sandu, received Kirsten
00:27:40Joff, the head of the European
00:27:43Union's Partnership Mission in the Republic of Moldova, within
00:27:46the framework of a protocol meeting,
00:27:48and it is important to understand here, we are following
00:27:52how European integration
00:27:54currently taking place and being implemented in Ukraine, how this
00:27:58is happening in Moldova, to what extent our pace.
00:28:01Well, formally, we
00:28:07are currently moving
00:28:11in a single package, so we
00:28:14have opened the same negotiating clusters with
00:28:18the European Union,
00:28:20so gradually due to the fact
00:28:24that still
00:28:26the European Commission
00:28:29has several times slightly
00:28:32better assessed Moldova's movement towards
00:28:36the European Union, the implementation of various
00:28:38reforms, there is also talk in Chișinău
00:28:42about the fact
00:28:45that it might be better to break
00:28:48this link a bit, and in Brussels
00:28:51they said that nevertheless, further
00:28:54European integration of our countries will primarily depend
00:28:58on the pace of implementation of reforms, on the pace of implementation.
00:29:07I will clarify, that is, in Chișinău there are sympathizers of
00:29:11currently separating Ukraine and Moldova at a certain
00:29:14stage, at least.
00:29:17Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, I, I would not say that this is some kind of mainstream
00:29:20opinion, but still, nevertheless,
00:29:22they are talking
00:29:25about it, and, but still, in Chișinău
00:29:28they understand that at least for now...
00:29:33Ukraine continues
00:29:36to defend itself, the war continues,
00:29:40to resist Russian military aggression,
00:29:44such a disunity, it will give, well, not
00:29:48a very, very good signal for the same Kremlin,
00:29:51the Kremlin may see this as the European Union
00:29:55somehow abandons
00:29:57Ukraine, or reduces its
00:30:00support, so I don't think so. I think that as long as the war continues,
00:30:04this link will somehow be
00:30:07broken, and I hope so, so in
00:30:10tandem one can move, in principle, I
00:30:14know what I wanted to ask about, in Moldova up to
00:30:17130,000 Ukrainians live, well at least this information was
00:30:20announced by the Prime Minister of Moldova, Alexandru
00:30:23Montianu, on February 10, at a joint press conference with
00:30:27Yulia Svyrydenko, the former head of the Ukrainian government, 80 thousand
00:30:3087 Ukrainians use. In Moldova, the mechanism of temporary
00:30:34protection for 2.5 million Moldovan citizens
00:30:37is a considerable number of people, 130 00 - how do
00:30:41Ukrainians and Moldovans
00:30:44generally coexist, because, you know, we don't talk much about it, nothing
00:30:47like that happens, it's just there, in general, almost 1.5
00:30:51million Ukrainians passed through Moldova in transit to use
00:30:54protection in the European Union.
