espresso tv, subscribe to our channels in social networks and see you at 4 p.m. thank you annie melnyk, thank you news editor, what's up? the tv channel's information day continues at 11:30 a.m. we inform about all the most important things. yes, now we will add to our friend tetiana vysotska, espresso correspondent from european institutions. today, i would like to remind you that the meeting of the eu-ukraine association council is taking place, and we would actually like to ask it what is happening there, what is the current situation, since certain signals were ambiguous, and we would like to understand how far hungary is in this process. .. again trying to somehow stick sticks in our wheels, not without this, as they say, but

in the end we will also inform you about other news, so polish farmers blocked the movement of ukrainian buses at the checkpoint of the doctor of shagyna, this was reported by the spokesman of the state border service andriy demchenko, and he says that polish farmers are scaling up their actions of blocking traffic for vehicles in the direction of the checkpoint of the doctor, which is opposite the ukrainian shagyna, protesters will block traffic for buses both entering and leaving poland, the participants of the border blockade plan to let one bus pass every two hours, both for leaving poland and for entering, well in the meantime, sad statistics appeared related to the russian shelling of kharkiv, three dead and five wounded, two in serious condition, an eight-story building and a production workshop were damaged, this was reported by the head of the investigative department of the gnp in the kharkiv region bolvinov, i quote, three of his... killed and five injured large-scale fire, the russians hit kharkov again around one o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy

shelled the city, an eight-story building and a production workshop in the kholodnohirsky district were damaged, the fire covered more than 100 square meters, ordinary printing house for the production of furniture and paint products. according to the national police, among the injured are employees of the enterprise, two of them are in a serious condition , and the rescue operation and fire extinguishing are ongoing. yes, now we are waiting for inclusion. tatyana vysotska, our correspondent, who is in the european institutions, and in the meantime we will wait for her inclusion, we would like to inform you of the news that the european union has previously extended the duty-free export of ukrainian salts to the economy, this is positive news, but we will ask more in tatyana vysotska, we already have tatyana on the phone, a press correspondent in european institutions. congratulations, congratulations, glory to ukraine, glory to the heroes, and accordingly, we would immediately

like to ask about the latest news, both positive and negative, because marta just announced that polish farmers blocked the crossing points with germany, yes, well, in the meantime , the european union seems to have previously extended the duty-free export of ukrainian agricultural products, i don’t even know where to start, but you have the word in any case, let's go, let's go... economic products, because if during the previous inclusion i didn't actually continue to continue, then they continued, because there is a certain list of agricultural products, which will be in the event that ukraine, if the volumes of agricultural imports of products in the eu from ukraine will exceed the average volume of imports. which products for the period of 2022-2023, then

duties will be imposed on these products, and actually at first the european commission proposed that only three items should be included in such exceptions of agricultural products, these are meat and poultry products, eggs and sugar, and on march 13 , the european parliament had to... vote for this proposal of the european commission to extend duty-free trade with ukraine for another year, excluding these three items, i.e. meat , poultry, eggs, sugar, can. to be subject to customs duties, if a lot of them are received in the territory of the eu. and here, on the initiative of the polish and romanian deputies, and actually they were supported, supported by the majority of the deputies of the european parliament, with amendments to the proposal of the european commission, the european parliament added to these exceptions also cereals, honey, corn, oats, as well as wheat and barley, and

that is precisely why this document was returned back to... the european commission and the european council in order to continue the negotiations. so, yesterday evening an agreement was reached and it was possible to remove wheat and barley from this list of exceptions, and this means that after all , ukrainian wheat will be able to enter the markets of the european union without certain major restrictions, but still poultry meat remains. eggs, honey, uh,... corn, oats, cereals and sugar , that's how things would be, well, in fact, all other items will be traded duty-free, so it's still positive, and today the prime minister of ukraine, denys shmehal, here in brussels, publicly thanked the european commission and the european council, for the fact that this decision was still made and approved, now it should be, yes, yes, tatyana, you just mentioned

that shmagal is currently in, and we know that today a council was held in... the association of ukraine eu, would we still like to ask you about this? yes, that means for according to the results of the ukraine-eu association council there is good news, there is news that is not so good, let's start with the good news, it is of course that today ukraine received the first tranche of macro-financial assistance from the european union in the amount of 4.5 billion, this is the first such large tranche in this year as part of the ukraine facility mechanism, which provides for ukraine. in four years and also ukraine should receive another 15 billion euros next month, also today shmyhal met with the president of the european commission ursula fonden and handed her the reform plan, the ukrainian plan, which was prepared by the ukrainian government together with the european commission for 10 months, and it is on the basis of this

reform plan that the next four years ukraine will receive money in exchange for carrying out reforms, so these are two big ones. powerful news today, one more good news with an eye on tomorrow, tomorrow here in brussels the summit of the leaders of the european union, the summit of the european council begins, and on the table of the leaders, among other things, is the proposal of the european commission to transfer to ukraine interest from frozen russian assets, that is, it is already a formalized proposal, today josep borel said that it is about 3 billion euros per... year, but still the eu leaders must decide on this tomorrow, and they are saying behind the scenes that it is not a fact, that a decision will be made, although, of course, it would be great if it were, uh, because on monday, uh, the ministers of foreign affairs of the european union already agreed to allocate 5 billion euros to ukraine under the european peace fund for the purchase of uh ammunition and

weapons, and if tomorrow eu leaders still voted for... the use of interest from the profits from russian frozen assets, then this year ukraine would have received not five but 8 billion euros of living money to purchase weapons, well, tomorrow we will watch it somehow so to speak, there are problems in this regard, well, it is not as if the matter is clean, clear, that is, the interest is transferred, and not the body of frozen funds and so on, but there is someone who makes a mess, what about that? there is someone who is making a mess, and there are many of these countries, i will name the actual names of the countries now i don’t know who exactly opposes it, but tomorrow it will be seen when the leaders gather at the round table, because everyone is in favor of it, everyone is positive about it, but here on the sidelines officials are saying that there are

big questions, namely regarding the use of frozen assets, although today josem bore. at the press conference he was very confident, he looked very optimistic, maybe something will change during the night, tomorrow we will follow the news, and i would like to say a few words about the bad news that is not so positive for ukraine, i see that our people did not pay much attention, in fact, this is quite such an essence, quite a significant moment, during the... repeat the process of ukraine's fulfillment of its obligations to the european union, which are necessary for the start of accession negotiations. if you remember, there were seven steps of reforms that

ukraine undertook to complete, then last october the european commission said that three steps were completed, four reforms remained, four laws that ukraine had to adopt, and ukraine itself announced that she had already done it all, because the last one was... the voted law on lobbying, which was signed by president zelenskyi on march 12, exactly, by the way, on the same day when the european commission handed over to the eurocouncil the negotiating framework, the basic document for holding negotiations with ukraine regarding accession, and just this moment today it turns out that the european commission does not believe that ukraine has fulfilled all the obligations that are necessary to start accession negotiations, and i want to note that oliver vargelii even... said, what is the problem? the problem is in the law on minorities, and guess who does not like the ukrainian law on national minorities, of

course, of course hungary, just a few days ago, about four days ago, it became known that hungary sent a letter to all eu member states and to the european commission, in which it expressed 11 points of complaints against the ukrainian law on national minorities and declares that it does not meet european values, does not even meet the requirements of the venice commission, according to which this law was amended in december 2023, and therefore it turns out that at the moment one of the eu states at least believes that this law is inappropriate, and therefore the european commission refrains from saying that ukraine has fulfilled all obligations, and this issue remains in limbo, it is quite possible. that ukraine will have to appeal again to the venice commission in order for it to give a re-evaluation of the already amended law on minorities, so that indirectly, if

orbán still managed to block such a situation a little, slow down the process of ukraine's accession to the european union, but nevertheless, today vargelius also spoke about the negotiating framework , the document that was submitted to the eurocouncil , which will also be on the table of the european leaders tomorrow, despite the fact that prime minister shmyhal, in an interview on monday with a foreign newspaper, said that he is practically confident and very hopeful , that the negotiating framework will be approved this week, most likely this will not happen, because as of today the european commissioner himself is voluminous. analysis by the member states, and therefore, it is unlikely that tomorrow we will have positive news on this matter, but here in the eu everything is changing very

quickly, there is such a concept that orbán introduced, it is constructive absence, this is what they call constructive absence now, and under the condition of the constructive absence of representatives of certain states , any decisions can be made, so let's hope that tomorrow... there will be good news , well, we are holding our fists for a negative, negative presence, so to speak, look , we would also like to ask, here is the feeling, this is how our european friends will move in the matter of supplying artillery ammunition, that is, on paper, i don't know, in the format of official statement, everything in principle is extremely good and positive, i.e. we feel that the matter is moving, but perhaps there are some specific clarifications, better to go ahead, tatiana. in fact, joseph borel was very impressed today, because he very coolly and harshly said that if ukraine loses and if russia establishes

a puppet regime in kyiv, then we realize that russian troops will stand on the borders of the european union, and russia will not stop, and in fact, with this , barel outlined what the european union and european states really believe at the moment, that ukraine needs to be supported... and only the victory of ukraine is a guarantee of the security of the european union of every european state, so we should have few doubts about the supply of ammunition, the supply of weapons, indeed, the european union is very serious, and, for example , the same czech initiative, which will also be considered tomorrow, although it is a bilateral initiative, it is not a pan-european initiative, nevertheless, it is already known. the czech president said that there is already enough money to buy 800,000 ammunition for ukraine, and germany, too said that she would pay 180,000.

supplies are already very cool and already in the coming weeks the supply of supplies will increase , so regarding ammunition, it is very nice that the europeans understand the danger that comes from russia and understand that only the victory of ukraine is the defense of europe, and god forbid that it will continue further, so that they help us to win. thank you for the detailed description of what is happening, tatiana vysotska, correspondent in european institutions, as usual. analyzed and informed us about everything most importantly, and thank her for her work. now we will go for a short break, after it we will return, but before it, i would like to remind you once again about our collection, now we are collecting funds in order to purchase cars, cars are essentially a waste product on the battlefield, because very often, unfortunately , cars come under fire from the russian invaders, so it is necessary to collect uah 900,000 in order to purchase a powerful land cruiser for the air reconnaissance group of the

headquarters of the development. a pickup for the 43rd separate artillery brigade and a refrigerator for carriage and transportation of fallen heroes. support the front to free ukraine from russian dishonor together. the qr code and bank card number you see now on your screens. we are going on a short break, after which we will continue to inform you about the most important things, so stay with the espresso. there are discounts on laktiale 10. in pharmacies plantain you and save, there are discounts on voltaren forte 20% in pharmacies plantain bam and save. tired of heavy and bulky saws? then pilka strong from razpak tv is just for you. you are at ease with her trim trees and shrubs. it is so convenient to use it for carpentry. it is the perfect tool for your home or garden. and the price is only from uah 1,499.
