we thank our tireless journalists. well, that's it at times, in the sumy oblast in a five-kilometer zone from the border, the russian federation has strengthened a special regime and introduced temporary restrictions - i quote. now the sumy regional military administration. in the period from april 22, 2024 until the end of the legal regime of martial law, to establish additional temporary restrictions of a special regime on the territory of sumy region and to prohibit the free entry, stay, residence, movement of persons and the conduct of works not related to construction, arrangement and maintenance engineering and technical and fortification structures. yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. well, accordingly, it applies within the five-kilometer zone. from the state border of ukraine outside the population centers in the zone of responsibility of the siversk operational-tactical group.

the order also prohibits the carrying out of work unrelated to the performance of tasks during the preparation and conduct of hostilities and the protection of the state border, and approves the appropriate procedure for approval of work on agricultural land within a five-kilometer zone outside the boundaries of the settlements in the zone of responsibility of siversk. that's the news. we will talk more about border affairs, including our western border and the border with poland, with our correspondent nataliya stare pravo, she should be in touch with us by now, we know that natalya is now at the medic checkpoint and is actually ready to us to share the situation, as polish farmers have unblocked all checkpoints and it is interesting to understand what the situation is now. natalya, congratulations and please share with us what is happening now. congratulations marta, congratulations antina, i congratulate our viewers, so we visited

the polish side, on the side of the medica checkpoint, it became known that the checkpoint was unblocked already this saturday morning, and there is tangible progress, we talked with ukrainian drivers and said that in fact this unblocking is already here tangible, because if earlier, just a few days ago, they could stand in a queue that reached 70, more than 70 km, now this queue has shortened to four km, and they say that it is a normal situation to stand, for example, now for a whole day border, because this was the situation even before the border blockade, however, it also happens in different ways, someone, for example, crosses the border, well, for example, a truck can go 2 km in 6. somewhere it can be faster, it all depends on time, from the way

the poles themselves pass, for example, after the first hour, according to my observations, for half an hour, the queue was reduced by two or three trucks, in fact, this is a great progress, and the carriers themselves also said that the checkpoint of the doctor shaginy during the blockade was one of the most difficult checkpoints, so ukrainian drivers also tried... to choose a different route, to drive through other checkpoints, and if they were returning from poland to ukraine, they chose, for example, the border with slovakia or hungary, and i will also add that officially all checkpoints were completely unblocked on april 29, ukrainian trucks with our grain can pass through the territory of poland only if they are transporting goods in transit to other countries. ugh, thank you, well, thank you for the comprehensive information, nataliya

stareprava, espress correspondent from the border with poland, this is how espresso was working live now, an extremely important signal, well, an interesting signal came this time from british intelligence, there they learned about the interrogation of another deputy minister of defense of russia, shoigu, so according to british intelligence. the fsb interrogated tsalikova, the first deputy minister of defense of russia, in the case of corruption in the ministry, but tsalikov is actually called the third person in the minister's hierarchy. defense minister after defense minister shoigu and chief of the general staff valery gerasimov. well, this is interesting news. interesting news. we will now also talk about an equally interesting topic, in fact, we will talk about our perspective of being in the european union. and for this, we invited to our conversation ivana klympushtsy, people's

deputy of ukraine eu. chairman of the committee on ukraine's integration into the european union. union, because there are certain positive signals that negotiations on joining the eu can begin as early as june, president zelenskyy stated, and czech prime minister peter fiala also stated that the eu needs in the coming years to accept ukraine and the balkans, as this will bring additional opportunities to the european union, that was the information, well let's talk about it now with mrs. ivanna, welcome to our airwaves, good day, glory to the heroes. mrs. ivano, well, we would like to ask you right away about the negotiations regarding ukraine's accession to the european union, which will take place now, what about the so-called, what about the framework, in general, what are the undercurrents that people don't like to talk about publicly now and in general, the prospects of accepting ukraine into the european union under

time of war ah, we're really waiting now, we 're waiting now. that the european union, after the conclusion, we hope, of the elections to the european parliament, still use the end of june to adopt a negotiating framework for negotiations on membership between ukraine and the european union, and i know that the current presidency in the european union, the belgian presidency is very actively working on this, and leads. dialogue with the member states of the european union, i very much hope that we will be able to do it before 1 july of this year, why until july 1 of this year, because we hear from our, from our colleagues from hungary, that this will not be a priority for them, that this country will preside over the next six months, and unfortunately, uh, they , you and i

understand that the prospects. about promotion and about such a decision during their chairmanship simply will not happen, so there is hope for this, there is a calculation for this, there is a recommendation of the european commission, there is their analysis, our implementation of all the additional four sub-points, let's say, of those seven conditions that we had to fulfill on pre-candidacy, and i hope that this is enough for this... to be approved, which means that we are moving on to a rich, bureaucratic and, well, meaningful negotiation process with the member countries of the european union with the institutions, and i want to emphasize that it is not only negotiations with the institutions, we will have to interact very actively with every

country that is a member of the european union in order for us to succeed. are there any prospects during the war? you know, well, first of all, i would like to to remind that, er, the middle path, the middle path from application to membership in the european union took seven years for those countries that went through this path, and i would not like us to leave in that period of time, but i very much hope, that our war will not continue, ah, still, well, such... such a terrible period of time, this is the first thing, well, and secondly, we must understand with you that obviously the war imposes significant restrictions on those opportunities and and understanding what state ukraine will be in after its completion in order to understand what exactly we are talking about to agree with our partners whether we should

count on certain transition periods, how many years we should count on those transition periods, which... additional financial, for example, tools we should work out with our partners in view of what we have gone through war and many, many other things, so i would still concentrate now on the huge work that needs to be done, regardless of the fact that this brutal war of the russian federation against us continues today, mr. ivan, we completely agree with you, well but a lot of things will depend very much on... the specific implementation of certain directions, so, in particular, who will lead the so-called negotiation group from the ukrainian side, so we understand what the issues of authority will be, how much... will be actively heard in the same office of the president, and in general, whether it will be possible to implement certain bills into law within the walls of the verkhovna rada, which is also

going through not the best, not the best times, and at the same time, we would like to hear one or another of the wishes of both brussels and individually european countries, so that there is no, you know, like with that state department document. the last one, where he writes that freedom of speech and problems with human rights in ukraine and so on and so on, is not the best situation, well, accordingly , they call it a telethon, so to speak, well , it went on, went on, i would like to hear and respond to the relevant signals, and there may be quite a few of them, i say, both from brussels and from individual member states of the european union, and of course, well, you and i must understand, as for there the chief negotiator, literally in recent months i have been talking a lot with those chief negotiators who led their

countries, members of the european union from eastern and central europe to this country, to this decision, today we are just celebrating the 20th anniversary of the great enlargement of the european union , and they definitely talk about... about a great need, not only, you know, to have this conversation there at such a professional level, but also to have a political consensus and to be able to hear and gather different stakeholders at the state level and at the level politicians to make it happen. it seems to me that so far there is no such understanding in ukraine, and someone is counting on the fact that not with the existing monomajority, they will be able to make difficult decisions - in the ukrainian parliament, so yes, the situation within the walls of the vru is also quite tense, it seems to me that if we do not change their approaches to, well, it's not, not us, as,

let's say, a political force, actually those who consider themselves in a monomajority, will not change their approaches to the dialogue inside the parliament, then it will be very difficult for us to cope with those tasks facing ukraine, because indeed the list of conditions for... the further advancement of ukraine and, by the way, for receiving financial aid to budget support, it is becoming much tougher, and here we see it like this, for example, the analysis of the situation with human rights from the derdep, who really speaks very harshly about the inadmissibility of restrictions, restrictions on freedom of speech in ukraine, which ukraine has today, and the necessity. well, reviewing the policy regarding the same telemarathon, but we also know that in ukraine's plan, which, on which is tied this mechanism of support, the financial mechanism

of support for ukraine, the government of ukraine has taken on a huge number of obligations that the parliament must implement now, without talking and without discussing it, without agreeing it with the parliament beforehand, i predict that every decision will be... . it is quite difficult to hold a debate in the parliament, therefore, without a general change of approaches within the ukrainian political system and the restoration of institutional interaction on the basis of the constitution and laws, and not on the basis of unwritten rules and usurpation, it seems to me it will be difficult to talk about the success of our european integration or in general our development of trusting relations with partners. miss ivano. and i also wanted to clarify with you, and now somehow the situation with parliamentarians’ business trips is moving from a dead point, is it now somehow possible, i don’t know, to get through to

the state leadership so that they, after all, do not hinder and, on the contrary, contribute to the fact that all our parliamentarians had the opportunity to go on business trips abroad and actually work so that our allies would help us? on unfortunately, restrictive measures in this context and choice. news of approving business trips, regardless of the implementation or non-implementation of those restrictive regulations, absolutely illegal regulations, limiting both the cabinet of ministers and the speaker of the parliament himself, this practice does not change, and this is another direction, by the way, in which, in my opinion, i we will continue to lose both the trust of our partners and the opportunity. for the country, which will be underutilized due to, well, this is the voluntary interpretation, interpretation and use of the law, and... well, the actual violation

the law is better than not using the law by the leadership of the parliament, the government, and the president as the head of the national security and defense council, because it was because of that stupid decision of the national security and defense council, contrary to the law of ukraine on martial law, on the state of emergency limited opportunities for people's deputies to perform. powers, and i want to remind you that the opportunities of women's deputies of various levels compared to other women of ukraine are also illegally and discriminatoryly limited, so until we change this, it will also be enough, we will simply lose opportunities for the state from the point of view of protecting our nation, our national interests, this is unacceptable, how

do you look at me, ms. ivan, i would like to ask you again... perhaps about the most problematic cases , yes, very often from our officials, well, we receive information that everything is fine, we are working, the process is moving and so on and so on, but we understand that not all directions are carried out equally well, so to you, as to the chairman of the committee, the relevant question, where are we the most slack, oh, well we probably need hours with you there... so that we can talk with you and discuss all the areas where we are most slack, and our words very often, our state, i mean the words of the state, very often differ from actions, well, for example, you and i see that all our partners talk about the struggle, the need to fight corruption, talk about transparency, talk about blackmail and so

on, what do we see? contrary to all the insistence of the group of seven and the european union and the united states of america, we see simply at the moment due to the impossibility of the accounting chamber to exercise its powers through actions, well, de facto under the leadership of the banking action of the parliament, but well , with such under the order of the bank, and this means that... for today, the accounting chamber, which should perform all the function of control over the use of budgetary funds by the parliament, it is paralyzed, this work is not carried out, because for its work it is necessary, it is necessary to have at least 2/3 of the members of the accounting chamber, today out of 13 people there are five who there is, we have repeatedly

talked about the fact that the partners insisted that it is necessary to restart the work of this accounting chamber in general, to ensure its independence and to give a new tool for the selection of people for positions, but this is not done, the work is simply paralyzed, and this is just one example, the same story with freedom of speech, with that telethon, now with additional attacks on public, with the same not... legal shutdown of your tv channel and other tv channels from digital broadcasting, and until now we cannot find with you, who who is to blame and who accepted this, made this decision, and here there is a huge, huge number of things that ukraine does not add to ukraine's persuasiveness, now that we need the help of our partners so much, i am grateful to them for

continuing. .. to support us, i hope that they will continue to do so, but in reality, every such action where we do not complete, or where, contrary to the recommendations or insistence, or even the conditions of our partners, we do the opposite, but it destroys our authority and destroys and gives arguments for propagandists, use them against us and strengthen these arguments. including abroad. we thank you. ivanna klympushtsintsadze, people's deputy of ukraine, head of the committee on ukraine's integration into the european union, was in direct contact with us. we are going on a short break now, but before that i want to remind you that we have our youtube channel, so please subscribe to it, because the important theses that are voiced on our air, we actually teach on our youtube channels in video section, you can watch them.
