the premium sponsor of the national team represents. united by football, stronger together. what is more important for ukraine, being in nato? to be in the european union, it is a very difficult question because obviously there were countries that were members of the european union and were not members of nato, like sweden, for example until recently, there were countries that were members of nato, but are not members of the european union, such as turkey. ukraine needs both the first and the second. nato must protect us because we must exist, we must not be destroyed by russia, but russia itself must not destroy us economically. and it is for this purpose that we need the european union. and not only for economic purposes. we need to pass our law. in

accordance with the legislation of the european union, to build a strong legal system, in a word, to build a strong democracy, which is also a fundamental value for the entire european union, for the entire european union, but not for all the countries that enter it, and russia is trying to take advantage of this and use these countries for itself, to its advantage, against ukraine. recently, the well-known investigator hristo groziv exposed how the fifth department of the fsb uses the neo-nazi alternative for germany party to protect the russian orthodox church. country, i talked about it in detail in the roc film operation liquidation. groziv claims that the kremlin has been funding politicians in europe since at least 2005. she leads to the fact that both the special services and society become less cautious about such risks. journalists do not become less careful, they write about it, but society does not follow it. ago. russia

will use very, very skillfully exactly that open space of democracy and western society. hristo groziv, i remind you that there is evidence not only of moscow's financing of an alternative for germany, but also of the french le pen party and the league of the north in italy. in fact, when we look at le pen's party, literally in recent weeks it is absolutely changed her rhetoric and suddenly started supporting ukraine. other trends and other moods are developing in european society. from this. the danger from moscow is not getting any less. in general, according to american intelligence, after 2014 , the kremlin spent more than $300 million on bribing foreign politicians and parties. this corruption octopus covered 20 countries. and among his tasks was the inhibition of ukraine's integration into europe. russia has long used the method of information warfare, during which it tries to sow doubts in different societies. they learned in their society, but they do exactly the same in europe. i am... the saying, remember, not everything

is so clear-cut, there is no black and white, the victim and the criminal are one and the same, exactly this has become the rhetoric of many pro-russian politicians in europe and direct russian agents. hungarian prime minister orban, after meeting with donald trump, declares that he will not give ukraine a penny. and this is all the framework of one big ipso, which is currently ongoing in the west. her narrative is that ukraine is not capable win. orbán has been pushing this line since the first days of the war. it is interesting how the once famous hungarian liberal, revolutionary, young rebel suddenly became what he really became. this is almost a detective story. now we will tell how it all happened, and before that we will look at his most outrageous statements. even at the beginning of the invasion on may 6, 2022, orban stated that he was against the inclusion of patriarch kirill in the eu sanctions lists. on june 3, the russian orthodox church thanked him for this. he stated that the russians have already succeeded, because now ukraine is like afghanistan draw land, then said that ukraine, in

the financial sense, is a country that does not exist, it cannot finance itself. this is no longer a ukrainian war, the sovereignty of ukraine has been practically lost for a long time. we cannot allow ... the long border between russia and ukraine to become a nato barrier. on december 11, 2023, hungary opposed the start of negotiations with ukraine on eu accession and relented only after consolidated pressure from the european union. on february 19, 2024, viktor orban advocated the complete closure of the european union market for ukrainian agricultural products. ukrainian grain is not taken further to africa. they sell it here in hungary. cheaper than the grain of hungarian producers, replacing domestic grain from our own market. and by a strange coincidence, it is at this time that russia increases its supplies to european markets and becomes, in fact, the fourth exporter of grain in the world. this is really a completely non-accidental coincidence, just

as it is not a coincidence that this liberal democratic orban suddenly becomes a completely pro-russian politician and a great friend of putin. and when did it happen? after his first visit. in moscow in 2009. between 1988 and 2009, orbán was the most anti-russian politician in central europe. it was he who in 1989 spoke about the russian, not the soviet, empire and harshly demanded the withdrawal of russian troops from hungary. in 2009 , dmitry medvedev, the governor of moscow, is on the throne, but it is not a secret for anyone who is the real ruler of russia. putin feels like a winner, he has already announced a new cold war for the west in his munich speech, tore up the map for ukraine at the bucharest summit, attacked georgia, even forced barack obama to agree to reset relations between america and russia. and under such conditions

, viktor orban is coming to russia for the first time. it is in such conditions that viktor orban arrives for the first time. to moscow, when the united russia congress was taking place, and on the sidelines he meets with prime minister putin and the head of the fsb bortnikov. and what happened after that? and there was a scandal, so to speak, of a nuclear scale. in 2010 , viktor orban became prime minister for the second time and flew to moscow for the second time. third visit in 2013. 2014 - the fourth. and now, after the fourth trip, putin gives orban a loan of 10 billion euros per day. nuclear power plant paksh. the opposition claims corruption because there were no tenders, and the conditions themselves were classified for 30 years. it's getting ridiculous: the pro-russian socialist party, which is the former communist party, announces. orbán sold hungary to the new soviet union. even our grandchildren will

pay this debt. and ex-minister of education baliand magyar openly declares: orban and putin share a common stake in the nuclear project. it was the beginning of a strong energy friendship between orban and putin. this friendship was embodied in common interests in several companies, one of them is the well-known surgut neftigas, the other gas transport company met. this is nothing new for us, as putin is used to corrupting the prime ministers and presidents of neighboring countries. let's remember at least ukraine. in 2015 , orbán, who always considered himself an ideological follower of the hungarian revolution, we all remember how soviet tanks entered budapest in 1956, in that... budapest restores a monument to soviet soldiers who this uprising was suppressed, only for putin to put flowers there. after february 24, after the start of the full-scale

invasion of ukraine, orbán's sharp statements, which were interpreted as support for putin, frightened all his former partners. the governments of the czech republic, slovakia and even poland stop communicating with him. in poland at that time there was... the law and justice peace party, which before that had a wonderful and wonderful relationship with orban, but for them, even for them, orban's behavior was completely incomprehensible, so he waited for the elections 23rd year, when the populist fico's party wins the elections in slovakia. the new prime minister fico becomes the only and closest ally and friend of orbán, not only in central europe, but in general in the entire european union. even before the invasion, robert. fico declared: the war in ukraine started because ukrainian nazis and fascists started killing russians in donbas. fico doubts the facts of the genocide in buch, criticized the previous government for helping ukraine after the full-scale invasion, published secret data on the transportation of complexes through slovakia

s-300. he declared that he would not allow putin to be arrested on an international warrant if he came to slovakia, and already a mandatory program for kremlin sympathizers, he promised to veto ukraine's membership. who has been accused of corruption many times and whom many call a follower of the russian leader mechiar, who at one time tried to build an authoritarian regime in slovakia. there is one more very interesting aspect: many people say, and a well-known political publication writes about it, that a specific situation and a specific ukrainian politician, at that time prime minister yulia tymoshenko. this happened in the winter of 2009, when a gas war broke out between ukraine and russia. gas transit through ukraine has stopped. slovakia froze, its factories stopped. to tymoshenko, but instead of negotiations he received a 20-minute lecture in front of television cameras with

the accusation that he seemed to have sided with putin. the humiliated fitso flew to moscow, but there he was already given a luxurious ceremony in the st. george's hall of the kremlin. and since that time , slovakia has been openly anti-ukrainian . it is obvious that the russians find different approaches to many european leaders and european politicians in general. they buy someone, blackmail someone, promise someone this or that support. how do we deal with this? we do not need to be horrified by this situation, because we are dealing with a big, strong and experienced enemy, but we need to work very responsibly and honestly, and not continue to build rosy dreams. we expect to complete this path in less than two years, and then ukraine will become a full member of the european union. it must be clearly understood that orban and fitzgerald, despite his populism and willingness to talk to anyone . nevertheless, they think about their popularity among their people and about their own benefit, and that is why it is possible to find

a common language with them, especially since ukraine has already had such an experience. do you remember, when ukraine refused to buy russian gas in 2014, we received this gas in reverse order from slovakia. the same slovakia did not object to ukraine being granted a visa-free regime by the european union. we have a lot of good and good examples of quality work and cooperation. you just have to don't focus on bad scenarios. on what we can and must do to change this situation. here is a small example for you. not so long ago, france was led by rusophile presidents. jacques chirac was sure that ukraine is part of russia, and his successor nicolas sarkozy urged us to abandon membership in nato and the european union and even justified putin's war. and now emmanuel macron declares that nato troops should be sent to ukraine. would it be possible if the armed forces. gave up and laid down their weapons. on february 26, macron said no

the dispatch of western troops to ukraine can be ruled out. at first, 14 nato countries spoke against macron's initiative, but he continued to insist on his point. currently , poland and the czech republic have already changed their position. five more countries have expressed readiness to discuss sending troops: latvia, lithuania, estonia, the netherlands and canada. despite the fact that we are not yet members of nato, we are the largest ally. we use nato equipment, nato instructors work for us, but most importantly, we are now ukrainians, the ukrainian armed forces protect freedom and democracy in all nato countries. we are here to stop the enemy who wants to attack these countries, and if we did not do this, a return to the times of stalin in ukraine and in the whole of europe would be inevitable. today there is no consensus on the official dispatch of ground troops, but... in dynamic terms , nothing can be ruled out, we are doing everything possible to ensure that russia cannot

win this war. macron has already understood this, and even despite his promises to send nato troops, that is, his french troops to ukraine, asked the ukrainians of eastern europe for forgiveness for the fact that he was wrong and did not listen to what they told him about the possibility of the next aggression. the baltic sea actually became the internal sea of ​​the alliance, because sweden and finland... have already become an alliance, the weimar triangle is born and revived, and macron, and scholz, and now tusk, meet together and think how to help ukraine. such positive steps in the support of ukraine by nato countries are becoming more and more. after the start of full-scale invasion we were all surprised. huge solidarity, which was in the west in relation to ukraine. we remember how our refugees were received, how they gave us

weapons, but later everyone started talking about war fatigue. today, the information agenda has changed again, all european societies, countries, media are wondering when putin will attack europe, whether it will happen in a year or three or eight years. obviously, such a discourse is again doing everything to wake up europe, to wake up our allies, but at the same time, this is part of it. of our information victory, and hristo groziv says for a reason that when ukraine is accused of losing the information war, they are mistaken, because after all, the score is in our favor. i can cheer you up, because the internal documents admit, they admit to themselves, that ukraine will win in the information struggle, that is, they are trying to somehow compensate for the unsuitability of their company with such new means, but they believe that ukraine will win, i think that it is possible to accept this, because they have a center of acceptance

solutions, the creation of such creative companies, he is very much in favor of... we managed to convey to society and politicians that this is russian sabotage, they finally started to move in the right direction and resolved the issue, but now we have a new, much... larger-scale campaign, and grain from cars and trains is only its media tip, a tool for manipulation to format public opinion in its favor. the ultimate goal of the russians has not changed for 20 years, their desire to disrupt ukraine's path to the west. now you will see what exactly the russians are doing to disrupt us, and

let's talk about how we should respond to all these new challenges. we know the answer. our way to europe. can be compared to a computer game. at first we were with orange flags and won this battle, became stronger and moved to a higher level, but so did russia. therefore, at the second level we already took wooden shields and helmets, won again, became stronger and moved to the third level, just like russia. then rockets flew and tanks drove, we held out. but the game is not over yet, just informational soldiers and information special operations russia transferred into the society of our western partner countries. the fsb included exactly such events, which will use the latent discontent among various sections of the population in europe, in western europe, and they will push them, but in such a way that the participants of such protests themselves

do not understand who they are working for, thinking that they are for their own rights act these protests on the border with poland, with the czech republic, i am not sure that these are organic events that happened without an outsider, social networks are full russian fakes, society is completely manipulated, and these manipulated people, in fact, thinking that they are helping themselves, commit crimes against a warring country, but fortunately this society is waking up, and healthy voices are already heard in it. today , more than 50 tons of grain are stuck in ukraine. this grain is needed in many distant countries, in african countries, but it is also needed in italy, spain and portugal. these are natural importers. and ukraine needs financial resources to wage war. this is also worth remembering. among the main russian fakes the fact that due to ukrainian grain, the price of

grain and other products of the agricultural sector in europe is falling. because of that, european farmers are going bankrupt. another very popular fake is that this grain is poisoned or of poor quality, and the next fake is obvious: in ukraine, grain is produced exclusively by oligarchs, and they prevent the development of european, in particular polish, small and medium-sized businesses. we must interpret and explain all these fakes. myth one: ukrainian food products do not meet eu requirements. phytosanitary, veterinary and sanitary control at the border is carried out by... inspectors, ukrainians receive the right to export after an audit conducted by eu inspectors. myth two: farmers work hard in poland, oligarchs earn money from agricultural holdings in ukraine. before the war , more than 75,000 enterprises worked in ukrainian agriculture, 90% of which were micro-enterprises with an average size of up to 100 hectares. micro-farmers produced 41% of all

products, large agricultural companies 23%, other categories. manufacturers 36%. myth three: ukrainian grain lowers the price of polish grain: wheat, barley, corn, rapeseed are not exported to poland, all grain goes in transit. myth four. ukraine flooded europe with its sugar. brazil is the largest exporter of sugar to the eu. the share of sugar exports from ukraine to the eu is about 2%. instead, russia and belarus really enter the european market absolutely freely. and this is at a time when some countries are imposing an embargo on certain types of agricultural products from ukraine. even the polish parliament appealed to the european commission to ban imports from russia to belarus. ours moral obligations. the duty is to stop trade that may directly or indirectly contribute to the ability of russia and its backer belarus to continue

the war with ukraine, especially as russian imports may include grain stolen from the occupied territories of ukraine. our joint efforts are not in vain, more and more poles understand that fakes spread by russian propaganda need to be debunked, and they are doing it, for example, in this beautiful short video. i am a conscientious pole and i know that all farmers in poland produce only 1% more gdp than ukraine. i am a conscientious pole, so i know that ukrainian grain is no different from polish grain, and has the same quality. i am a conscientious pole, so i know that it is better to cooperate than to spill the beans and block borders. health. and while this pole appeals to his compatriots, i want to appeal to... the ukrainian authorities, we face enormous challenges: we need to receive weapons, we need to receive funds from allied countries, we need european integration, we need nato, this very

serious things, already now what is happening on the polish-ukrainian border shows how difficult our european integration will be, and how responsible is the mission of the ukrainian government, the ukrainian president, and the ukrainian parliament in ensuring that this european integration takes place, despite the fact that russia will be there. .. take all possible measures to disrupt it, plus there are interests of each of the countries. what is the ukrainian government doing at this time? how the ukrainian government communicates with western societies, through russian-speaking freedom, through no one else a propaganda marathon is needed, for which more than 2 billion hryvnias are spent. in what way do we try to get western societies to convince their governments to support ukraine. no one is taking this seriously, and it is a huge ukrainian problem. we did. a series of films about information warriors in which we, ukrainians, must win. stay with us, like the bell, subscribe to our channel, it will definitely be interesting here, we

are building a new ukraine together with you, together with you we are protecting it and leading it to europe, and we will definitely win. reliably fixes, my dentist advised me, it also reduces inflammation of the gums, and the price is good, economical, studies have proven, lacalud fix protects the gums and fixes the denture five times more reliably, lacalud fix, buy with a 30% discount at wholesale price pharmacies , pharmacies 911 and on the website 911 there are discounts on quiet 15% in pharmacies psylasnyk pam and oschad. premium sponsor of the national team represents united by football together

stronger avdiiv direction mamata shot now the military is firing from the m101 cannon, this is the 105th caliber. if there were still enough bulls here, it would be really great, it already flew in normally, just like that , nuboy, but nuboy, nuboy, nuboy, shot, we move at a distance of about 10 m, from each other, and carefully listen to the sky on that there was no sound of a drone, here we have a mini-underground hotel complex, such a drone can fly for six kilometers, then

the closest positions to us, zambia bambas, there is no substitute, we have people on positions without variables, 10 to 15 days are considered as such a day or two washed, washed and come back, the same problem as ours, the problem of personnel, they have it, not to such a degree, but it is there, ukraine was able to stabilize the front line, but a new russian offensive is possible in the summer. army, this is donbas realii, i am yaroslav krechko, and today we will talk about the results of the winter campaign, and also find out whether the russian federation has reserves to continue

to advance and where to expect attacks in... in the coming months, a noise like a jet plane , then an explosion, that's how aerial bombs sound in the avdiiv direction, well, sometimes often, sometimes not often, well now we'll tell you for this time, it has already arrived normally. the gaps are quite far away and do not interfere with the ukrainian artillery firing, this is the avdiiv direction, now the military is firing from the m-101 cannon, it is

the 105th caliber. shot, this gun has been in this gun for over 70 years, according to oryx, three dozen american m-101 ukraine received from lithuania and slovakia, despite their solid age, they are quite accurate. in the summer of the beginning of the counteroffensive, they worked somewhere 50-60 m away from their own, that is, the infantry was coming, and we were in front of the infantry. we work, respectively, but somewhere 50 m, you could safely lay shells, well, of course, it is a little easier to work in the defense, but if there was enough bull here, it would be great, oops, this is our pain a little from the bc, so at the moment we have a constant shortage,

well relatively well, for understanding, yes... that we worked there last spring in the same direction, but the situation was much better . from help, here is the russian army and beyond is trying to advance, after avdiyivka it managed to capture several neighboring villages, but in general the armed forces of ukraine stabilized the front line, the russian federation is throwing fresh forces into battle, just like that , nauboy, nauboy, nauboy, nauboy, but we have already joked more than once that, well, very often we are working that one place was shot at, we control it all, and there, well, for an hour, half an hour, another group will leave there anyway, and we will still go after the next group, last year the 71st hunting brigade of the dshv started near

avdiivka, in the summer... they attacked in zaporizhzhia, at the end of autumn they returned again near avdiivka. sokil also went all this way, now he is fighting near his home, he himself is from donbas. no matter where we fought, there in zaporozhye, in the donetsk region, or somewhere else, in the kharkiv region, or somewhere else. this is our land, we must protect it. i realized that, well, we need to. everything is finished shot, there is an impression of the target, masking the shelter, thank you for the work, plus masking in the shelter, capturing the enemy reduced the length of the front lines, and accordingly the enemy, who had enough

seriously... the group in this direction is trying to advance further west by inertia, it seems to him that it is much slower than expected, but the pressure is significant, and specifically in the avdiiv direction, the nearest task of his group has been fulfilled, well, i would say that in full . at dawn , we go first by car, then on foot, with ukrainian pilots, we move at a distance of about 10 m from each other, and we carefully listen to the sky so that there is no

sonotron . .
