Greetings to everyone, this is svoboda ranok, my name is kateryna nekrecha, and we are starting an information day together with you, and in this broadcast. We talk about such topics. Russia seeks to resume the work of zaporizhzhya jsc already this year. Putin informed the iaea about this, the wall street journal writes. Why is it in moscow and is it technically possible. Four separate bills on aid to ukraine, israel, taiwan and National Security priorities were presented to the republicans by the speaker of the us house of representatives, mike johnson. The hill publication wrote about it. Will these individual bills find the support of american lawmakers. And when they will consider aid to ukraine. Before the truce during the olympics, what will be held in paris this summer, the french president is calling for the involvement of the chinese leader in the negotiations on a ceasefire in the main conflicts that are ongoing in the world, including in ukraine.

Strait relations. Most taiwanese people see little practical value in changing the status quo toward legal independence. So, taiwans policy has been to cut rate is good relations with the prc, but avoid being drawn into political talks that could erode the islands freedom of action. Thats whats keeping taiwan in check. What is keeping the prc in check are at least three things, im sure many of you could think of many more. First, the prc recognizes that acting to change the status quo, mean a noncoercive way, would definitely be difficult, definitely be costly and definitely be risky. So its safer and easier to kick the can. Second, bay shipping believes that time is on its side. Its relative power is growing, as is taiwans economic dependence on the prc. Then third, chinas internal challenges are very significant and we have heard a little bit about that already today, but they are manageable as long as the leadership keeps giving them sufficient attention. So, having serious but mana
None of the main figures in the party chose to stand for election and perhaps for wise reasons. The one candidate that emerged at the end was a relatively less wellknown personality in taiwan, who has recently been the deputy seek of the legislative uon. Before the Public Opinion poll to determine whether if she would qualify to be the Party Candidate was held, the party did not arrange any time when she would present her platform to the public. And so when the voters that were polled, not the voters, the people who were polled reacted to her, what were they reacting to . They were reacting to her personal story which is quite compelling and interesting, and they were reacting to personality as an outspoken and atypical kmt politician. When the poll was conducted, she surprised many people, including myself, and got a 46 support rate, which was well beyond the threshold that the party had set for a potential candidate. Shortly afterward, however, her poll numbers began to collapse. Why
Political type revolution, someone pointed out already that we have new generation of or maybe geographical changes. Do you characterize this coming election outcome, characterize it more by recuring political outcome or having coming together . Do you want to take that . Yeah. I think i already mentioned in my remark there that this election will obviously trigger a generational shift. That will clearly be the case with dpp or for the green camp as a whole. And also, a lot of people in their 30s or even late 20s, they have been very active in social movement and also grassroots organization. They will steadily climb up the ladder and become an important forces in shaping the electoral politics. It depends on how his party and his own turn out. Ing . He might be around for quite a while, if his party turns out to be a critical voting bloc, then you know. On the other hand, if in the end, a lot of the voters abandoned him in the very end and his party actually couldnt really play a very
