would that mean for slovakia? >> it influences us, with the gdp growth, it's important for us to have a stable and prosperous neighbor. another reason to help. we do it in the first place because people are dying there. we invest in this moment. >> then, there are the calls for more military aid. in addition to the president setting moves, the prime minister has already done. >> we provided the -- system. we helped in the amount of 150 million euros in equipment and ammunition. >> can you give too much? >> no, i don't think so. i mean, it's so cynical. if you value life, if you value freedom, and human rights, human dignity, you will never say that. >> a country of just over 5 million people has resettled half 1 million refugees in their own neighborhoods. >> we never thought that europe was capable to accept so many people in such a short time. 27 governments, days and hours, it's amazing, no one ever thought, you would've asked ten years, five years ago, european union, never. >> or 33 years ago, when hegar came

this is such a brutal war. >> if ukraine fails, slovakia is next. >> you have said that slovakia and other countries of nato cannot compromise. should not compromise more. >> what do you mean? >> with values. we are democratic country and we are part of the democratic world, and we have to really revisit our approach to our values. a lot of mayor zelenskyy had a choice to leave to exile, but they decided no, we stay, and we fight for our freedoms. we fight for our values. i asked myself, which with a do -- what would i do if i would be in his shoes? but i wish i would decide the same as him. >> while the opposition in slovakia questions hegar's refugee sense, they say ukraine has not helped slovakia in the past, so why help them know? in an analogy to understand how much like he has done here, imagine the united states taking in 35 million refugees into its borders? that is similar to what hegar and his government are doing to help. one recent note in the news, is that talking about being neighborly, the prime minister of the czech republicans saying they will now provide air protect

in slovakia they have neither issue. but at the same time there are other sources of energy coming from the south. you have had a bit of an issue with the eu. portugal and poland might not distribute energy equally. i am not saying there is a quick fix but there is a solution to be had on the political level and trying to figure out how to maximize the gas europe has access to without putting too much money in the coffers of russia. >> there are over 5 million ukrainian refugees across europe now. is there a concern that the welcome for them is waning? >> absolutely. i just finished a tour of europe and even and poland which has been one of the strongest supporters of ukraine, this coming september, 700,000 ukrainian schoolchildren who will be admitted into public schools. so that is a huge burden on them. people are -- a lot of refugees are having problems funding accommodations. it is not easy. but going back to the original point, i think european governments have to get citizens ready, that they have to accept short-

they still exist in austria, germany, switzerland, northern italy, slovenia, poland, and slovakia. these are forests left to their own devices where rivers flow freely and we're big predators like wolves, bears, and lynx is, are now slowly returning. how is the process going? how much wilderness consensual europe tolerate? how much does it need? and why a forest without lodge predators like the wolf on the bed and the lynx fills somehow empty. that's what we've lined in recent, isn't it hungry and as beautiful as nature can be? it seems incomplete. without lodge predators, unfortunately, we know this because we've gotten to know the parts of central europe that ah, to exaggerate a bit full of bears like southern st. lavinia, full of wolves like lu sasha, in germany, or lynx, is like to now harm land, austria, or dr. luke's in ones or high modern research is this lisa. it's hard to describe since he, if you walk through a forest at home to basil links, isn't wolf wilson. it heightens your senses and maybe you realize that you're not at the top of the food chain. oh though, actually

for example, in the high tantra mountains, between poland and slovakia. the brown bears here are a veritable tourist magnet with 50 animals, drawing millions of visitors to one to the national parks trails every year. if that kind of coexistence works here, surely it can work elsewhere in central europe. in that book zone villa and cath, imagine a europe of protected zones interconnected by green bridges that allow large predators to migrate forests would be left to grow wild and the forestry industry would largely stay on the side lines. in the end it would benefit every one we helman, middle hope and, and see our feel if the weakness we don't have very much real wilderness in central europe. but we visited quite a few of these places and they all have one thing in common. it's always cumbersome, or the path is always arduous or impossible. the steep, rocky, or blocked by a fallen tree. all the paths are flooded. and the me, that's the real core of what wilderness is. the uncertainty that nature can bring up the looping, and i think the impetus in europe

nord stream 1 or nord stream 2 gas pipelines, circumventing europe, poland, and also but also ukraine, slovakia, and other countries, means not only increased russian domination in terms of gas over the european union, but it also means a danger to some eu states, and a danger to central europe, to ukraine, for example. unfortunately, this has become a fact and reality in recent months. we weren't listened to and everybody can see in a very clear way what russian energy dominance means. poland has done so much for the refugees, so, so much, i saw it myself, the amount of refugees coming and being brought into polish homes. i wonder, are you worried about the safety of poland? do you think poland is at risk from russia? translation: potentially, you can i say, as for russian imperialism, i it is something that we have known in poland historically very well, and that is why we have adopted such a robust stance, that is why we have demanded support from nato to make sure that the polish people can feel safe and secure. but this is also why we are making decisions in poland to adopt a new law regul

a clear decision taken that ok, we're going to prioritize the supply of a gas for heating houses in slovakia. well, that means we need to turn down or ration the supply or say the da is if it will be soft. that's the kind of thing that can only be coordinated for through the you. solidarity agreements would avoid lengthy negotiations in cases of emergency sticking together will be important in europe in order to stay warm in winter and will have more on europe's energy was later in the program and dw business with rob watts. now, a ukrainian official says russian shelling has killed another 2 people in ukraine's 2nd largest city are keep another 19 are injured including a child elsewhere. ukraine's military is training it's soldiers to use new weapons . arriving from the west, keith hopes the new anti tank rocket launchers and mortars will change the tide of the war. earlier washington announced it was also sending more longer range arms to ukraine. russia has criticized the u. s saying the move forces moscow to widen the conflict in ukraine by made it the wilcox 0 causes west poles more rem
