i want to quote charles michel a little bit, his comment on the deal. the agreement reached today will secure stable, long-term, predictable funding for ukraine. eu takes thai leadership. of ukraine and we know what is at stake, charles michel stressed. and now a few words about insider information, in fact, all 27 members of the european council and all 27 leaders of the european union managed to reach an agreement this morning at an informal meeting in the premises of the european council, here investigators, except. viktor orbán, prime minister of hungary, who was actually persuaded to remove his veto and vote for 50 billion euros for ukraine, the president of the european council charles michel, the head of the european commission ursula fonden, as well as the leaders of the three most powerful states of the european union, this is the president of france emmanuel macron, this is the state federal chancellor were present at the meeting olaf scholb of germany. we have some communication problems, it was our correspondent tetyana vysotska from brussel

the head of the european council, charles michel, said that all 27 eu countries have given their consent. well, according to the guardian, hungarian prime minister viktor orban was the only european leader who was against the allocation of 50 billion to kyiv. he insisted that aid to ukraine be calculated until 2027, every year. loudly approved by all the countries of the european union. the guardian writes that european leaders did not make any significant concessions to orbán, but did make some steps that would allow him not to look like a loser. according to the publication, the eu leaders have decided that aid to kyiv will be reviewed in two years if necessary. let me remind you that the decision to provide economic aid to ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros was planned to be adopted in december of that year, but then it was blocked by the prime minister of hungary, viktor orban. well, today. my colleague zoryana stepanenko also followed the summit in brussels, she has more details. zoryan, hello. on what terms anyway european aid for ukraine was approved. and is it true that th

michel, they laughed that barel came with... two suitcases, either he decided to stay for a long time, maybe a small one, the paradise brought apples, a plane, apples, unknown, i don’t think he brought anything, he probably took more of a briefcase to take away more, that is, well, this is europe debt receipts, and receipts, that is, we are talking about 39 billion for 4 years, it’s possible that they have such a golden parachute, as they say, but the last year of power, that is, they need at least something for themselves and for retirement. that for him the territorial integrity of ukraine, yes, which was recognized then back in ninety-one, i don’t know why they only cling to territorial integrity, but if you open the declaration on the senior sovereignty of ukraine, it’s not only about the territory, that is, ukraine in those territories they were recognized as permanently neutral, yes, as permanently non-aligned, as permanently non-nuclear state, that is does ukraine now comply with its declaration on the basis of which it was recognized in those territories, yes, that is, duda ta

the head of the european council, charles michel, announced this on the social network x.nuances here. the european union is indeed ready to allocate 50 billion euros to kiev until 2027, but they will not pay the entire amount immediately for 4 years. funding will be agreed upon annually. as hungary demanded, if necessary , the package will be revised in a few years. at the same time, funds for hungary itself are still in frozen let me remind you that first. participate, but it is one thing not to participate, and another thing to oppose. at the moment, no one has done this. the decision by those who say that they no longer want the european union to transfer 50 billion euros to ukraine was bad news for european taxpayers. this opinion was expressed by mep harald velimsky, who heads the delegation of the austrian freedom party in the european parliament. money is flowing to a country that ranks 104th in the recently released corruption index, and this place much lower than in any other eu state. true, some of the funds are provided in the form of loans, but no one... belie

michel were the left, the left is hope until the next elections to the european parliament , this isknecht, who recently made herself a new party, although of course there are alternatives for germany, in general, also a pro-russian force, but here they are, they go to the pro-german, but rather pro-german, not pro-russian, this like orban and pro-hungarian, and not pro-russian, but on the other hand, of course, we laugh at... it’s easy to put 230 thousand people under arms, because in estonia military service was mandatory for all 30 years. latvia cannot yet. latvia has started a mandatory call just recently, by the way, i couldn’t get 360 people, not thousands, 360, they played a lottery , now summonses have been sent to the addresses, i’m not joking, but i would also like to remember the words of retired, as a rule, estonian generals, who have recently been very there is often talk about mining of fields along the border with the russian federation, and mining will happen. and the protocol of the three defense ministers says that they will also build at least 60 fortified areas al

michel, spoke to journalists today, he said that precisely in the new package of sanctions, perhaps,ll, there will finally be some mechanisms have been introduced that will allow to prevent the circumvention of sanctions, i.e. the european council and the... european commission are well aware of this, they understand it perfectly, they are thinking about it, but what exactly mechanisms to implement have not yet been announced, there is less than a month until the introduction of the new package of sanctions, because as we know, they unofficially want to introduce it before the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, that is, it will be the end of february, let's see, let's see, there are no specifics yet, they are talking about russian aluminum again. but this issue has its opponents and its defenders, so it is not possible to say for sure whether russian aluminum will be included in this package of sanctions, and there will be many individual sanctions, thank you tetyana, it was tetyana vysotska from brussels with inclusion after at the european union summit,

michel, this man, yes, and there is a statement from this charles michel, give it to me, all 27 leaderss not know where to get money, it has a problem in germany, yes, well i don’t know what the scale is there, but they themselves talk about it, france, what else is there was, belgium, yes, in my opinion, yes, these farmers are also there, yes they participate, they still decided to become leaders, that is, they... freedom of thought is suppressed in europe, well, or some other positions, i noticed , that every time this kind of injection happens to me, when there is a heated discussion , heated pressure from some politicians on other politicians, that they are too slow in delivering weapons, there is either a million ammunition, or taurus missiles, that’s when such a discussion takes place, they definitely start remembering me midday, well, something like that, so specifically no, i’m not a spy. this is what they think, this is where the legal conflict comes into play with this phrase, let us pause now, that you are not a spy, but they think so, and we will continue in just a few minut

michel, the president of the european commission, ursula fonderlajen, and the heads of france, germany, and right at this moment, even before the start of the official summit of the european council, when orbán was started persuade individually at the level of the strongest states of the european union, then join them. other states such as the presiding belgium , the netherlands, spain, then the representatives of poland, the baltic states came, that is , people came and went in the room, and they all joined in somehow talking to orbán, what they actually promised him, we don't know, so that all this happened behind closed doors, we saw this photo, but something was still promised, that orban changed his decision and the summit is already here. began with the knowledge that a decision would be made and that is why it ended so quickly, it did not last until the evening, like this many expect. german chancellor olaf scholz said that it was a great success about the results of the extraordinary eu summit, and said that it was the shortest in history, europe became stronger after that, sai

michel, and the president of the european council, of course, charles michel and the president of theopean commission, ursula fonden , spoke about that yesterday's decision of the european council - this is also a signal for the united states of america to finally do something, to finally... finally agree among themselves and also provide support to ukraine, because the victory of ukraine, the survival of ukraine is a vital issue for the european union as well, so that they all perfectly understand, especially the baltic states and poland, that if ukraine, god forbid, does not win, but loses, then they will become the next victims of the kremlin, and it is not for nothing that nato is now conducting the largest military exercises since the . not cold war, they also want to send a signal to russia that they are ready, they are not afraid, they are preparing for a possible attack, but of course the fact that money was allocated to ukraine yesterday is very important, it is important for ukraine, it is important for europe, it is important for the whole world, and even what orban agreed

michel, the president of the european advice on dinner, ugh, other leaders of the european union wereupposed to be present at this dinner and were obviously gathering. during this dinner to have a conversation with orbán, but orbán did not come to the dinner, instead he went to the farmers, talked to the farmers, once again made such a jab, a pin in the direction of ukraine, stating that the european commission is doing wrong, supporting ukrainian farmers, not european farmers, and therefore until this morning it was not at all clear what orban was going to do and what his follow up, today. in the morning at the press point, journalists were waiting for his arrival, so that he would approach the press and, like all other leaders of the european union who arrive at the summit, they state their positions, make announcements, give comments and so on, orbán did not come to the press, i.e. the intrigue was already from the morning, and later it turned out that orbán went immediately to a closed meeting with charles michel, the head of the european commission. the head of the european counc

yes, the head of the european council, charles michel, spoke to journalists today about finding a ways situation, when russia has learned to circumvent sanctions. he said that it is possible that some mechanisms will finally be introduced in the new package of sanctions, which will prevent the circumvention of sanctions. that is , the european council and the european commission are well aware of this, they understand it perfectly, they are thinking about it, but what... specific measures to introduce have not yet been announced, until the introduction of a new package of sanctions remains less than a month, because as we know, they unofficially want to introduce it before the anniversary of russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine, that is, it will already be the end of february, let 's see, let's see, there are no specifics yet, they are talking about russian aluminum again, but this issue also has your opponents and your defenders, that's why you can't. to say for sure whether russian aluminum will be included in this package of sanctions, and there will be many individual sanctions

michel, the president of the european commission ursula fondien and the heads of france, germany andaly, and right at this moment, even before the start of the official summit of the european council, when orbán began to be persuaded individually initially at the level of the strongest states of the european union, then joined them. other states, such as the presiding belgium, the netherlands, spain, then representatives of poland and the baltic states came, i.e. they entered the room and entered people and they were all involved in somehow talking to orbán, what they actually promised him, we don't know, because it all happened behind closed doors, we only saw photos, but something was still promised that orbán changed decision and the summit will begin. with the knowledge that a decision would be made, and that is why it ended so quickly, it did not last until the evening, as many expected. german chancellor olaf scholz said it was a great success about the results of the extraordinary eu summit and said, that it was the shortest in history, europe became stronger after that, said

michel, and the president of the european council, of course charles michel, and the president of the european commission, ursula fondeen, talked about what... what yesterday's decision of the european council is also a signal for the united states of america to finally do something, to finally come to an agreement among themselves and also provide support to ukraine, because the victory of ukraine, the survival of ukraine is a vital issue for the european union as well, because they all perfectly understand, especially the baltic states and poland, that if ukraine, god forbid, does not win, but loses, then they will become the kremlin's next victims. and it is not for nothing that nato is currently conducting the largest military exercises since ancient times the end of the cold war. they also want to send a signal to russia that they are ready, they are not afraid, they are preparing for a possible attack, but of course the fact that money was allocated to ukraine yesterday is very important, it is important for ukraine, it is important for europe, it is important for the whole worl

charles michel also called for a review of the work order and expansion of the scope of european assets. hondumyru, who, in his opinion, should support joint orders of weapons by the countries of the european union for their further transfer to kyiv. ukraine is a future member of the european union, and therefore it should become closer to the eu in the field of defense and security. the president of the european commission, ursula fonderja, said this during a speech in the same european parliament. according to her , the help should be unwavering, ba moreover, says the president, official brussels plans to make the armed forces of ukraine, the armed forces of ukraine and the military industry part of its own military capabilities, well, then ms. ursula fonderlein explained why she thinks so, a short quote from her. looking to the future, we should consider the ukrainian armed forces as part of our military capabilities. we must think about ukraine. industry as part of our own military industry. well, this is a serious statement, that is, integration, although they, they really want to

charles michel on... emphasized that irresponsible statements about nato security and the fifth article of the north atlantic treaty only serve the interests of russian president vladimir putin and emphasized that such statements do not contribute to peace and security, on the contrary, they emphasize the need for immediate development, as i already said, the strategic autonomy of the european union. they are delaying it a little bit, well , they have been talking about it for a long time, well... god forbid, let it be this one the case has moved forward because they see that trump has a very good chance of becoming the president of the united states of america. well , the nato alliance should not depend on the mood of some politicians, said the head of european diplomacy, josep borel, commenting on the statements of the 45th president, joe donald trump, about the relations of the north atlantic alliance with russia. and then a short quote of the main thing. we will see and hear a lot of different things about the european diplomat during this election campaign in the usa, but let's be

michel said, and he also added that already now the eu leaders during their meeting on february 1 have made great progress also on the issue of the future use of frozen funds of the russian federation, in particular, income from these frozen funds for the benefit of ukraine. and another important point: ursola fonden said that the planning of military support for ukraine, since ukraine will soon become a member of the european union. should take place within the framework general planning of defense, defense plans of the european union, and that ukraine will be included in european defense programs. and now a few more words about literally 50 billion euros, the approval of this macro-financial mechanism is already at the final stage, and the next steps are as follows: next week, the budget committee of the european parliament will consider the draft of the relevant resolution and approve it. and approval will also take place at the level of the eu council, the vote on the resolution on the allocation of 50 billion euros to ukraine will take place at the next session of the european par

and just yesterday and the president charles michel of the european commission, and the president of european council, of course charles michel, and the president of the european commission, ursula fondeyan, spoke about yesterday's decision. of the european council is also a signal for the united states of america to finally do something, to finally come to an agreement among themselves and also provide support to ukraine, because the victory of ukraine, the survival of ukraine is a vital issue for the european union as well, because they all perfectly understand, especially the baltic states and poland, that if ukraine, god forbid god will not win, but lose, then they will be the next victims of the kremlin, and eh... it is not for nothing that nato is currently conducting the largest military exercises since the end of the cold war, they also want to send a signal to russia that they are ready, they are not they are afraid, they are preparing for a possible attack, but of course the fact that money was allocated to ukraine yesterday is very important, it is important for ukraine, i

charles michel emphasized that irresponsible statements about nato security and the fifth article of the north atlantic treaty correspond only to the interests of russian president vladimir putin and emphasized that such statements do not contribute to peace and security, on the contrary, they emphasize the need for the immediate development, as i said, of strategic autonomy of the european union. they delay a little. with this, well, it has been talked about for a long time, come on god, let this thing move forward, because they see that trump has a very good chance of becoming the president of the united states of america. well, the nato alliance should not depend on the mood of some politicians. this was stated by the head of european diplomacy, josep borel, commenting on the statement of the 45th president, joe donald trump, about mutual north atlantic relations. alliance with russia, followed by a short quote from the main european diplomat. during this election campaign in the usa, we will see and hear a lot of different things, but let's be serious, nato cannot to be an allian

the president of the european council, charles michel, said this today during a session in the european parliament. according to him , aid to ukraine is an investment in the security of the european union. that is why ukraine, he says, needs to be helped. more weapons, more ammo, more support. charles michel also called for a revision of the working order and expansion of the assets of the european peace fund, which, in his opinion, has support. joint arms orders countries of the european union for its further transfer to kyiv. ukraine is a future member of the european union and therefore it should become closer to the eu in the field of defense and security. the president of the european commission, ursula funderlajen, said this during a speech in the same european parliament. according to her, there should be help. adamant, even more so, says the president, official brussels plans to make the armed forces of ukraine, the armed forces of ukraine and the military industry part of its own military capabilities. well, then mrs. ursula fonderlein explained why she thinks so, a short quote

the parliament was still grunting something against this speech charles michel it was the left, the leftlections to the european parliament, this is sarah, vagen knecht, who recently made herself a new party, although of course the alternative for germany is also, in general, a pro-russian force , but here they are, they get it on a pro-german, but rather pro-german, not pro-russian, well, this is orban and pro-hungarian, not pro-russian, but on the other hand , of course, we will change by calling the baltic countries into emirates, partly this is the level. in estonia, military service was mandatory for all 30 years. latvia cannot yet. latvia started compulsory conscription only recently. by the way, i couldn’t get 360 people, not thousands, 360, they played the lottery. now summonses have been sent to the addresses. i am not kidding. but i would also like to recall the words of retired, usually estonian generals, who have recently very often talked about mining fields along the border with the russian federation. and there will be mining. and the protocol of the three baltic defense m

michel, about the fact that every euro is invested in ukraine, this is the safety of future generationshe safety of future generations, every euro invested in ukraine is every euro... of russia and these somersaults with zelensky and zaluzhny somewhere in my mind, you know , there was a hope glimmering in the back of my mind that maybe the west would try to dump zelensky , to appoint zaluzhny so that some, maybe some reasonable things, can begin to be discussed, but the rhetoric of recent days on european leaders, statements by the united states, one gets the impression that they recently received all the temniki, that’s it, now we need prepare. to the next round of escalation, it is absolutely clear that they have decided to completely drown the whole of ukraine, to live in this conflict, they will do this with all possible means, so they will move exactly as much as we allow, that’s it in these small steps, and i absolutely agree with you, and they will come up with a mechanism to extradite ukrainians, they don’t care about everything, they will find, they will find an explanation for

the central bank of russia has already been approved, the head of the european council, charles michelstill be worked out, there is no need to talk about any kind of legitimacy, the main principle is that there are no rules, and what was not allowed yesterday is miraculously resolved today, another thing is that the europeans still cannot find, this must be understood, a legal scheme. and the use of these frozen funds - gold and foreign exchange reserves of the russian federation there is no legal structure for this. irritation with european elites among ordinary citizens is growing, says aiki hamer, editor of the publication virshaft aktuel. for defense, strengthening the economy, combating illegal migration and other expenses, the european union will add less than 15 billion euros over the next 4 years. at the same time, from february twenty-two to october twenty- three, about 77 billion have already been spent on helping kiev. the european union has huge problems, but their source is sanctions. european union simply destroyed its competitive advantage. world economy, that is , the o

michel, i don’t know his sexual orientation, but something it tells me that it’s fashionable, that’surprise to comments from the far left who expressed some doubts that we should supply weapons to ukraine. what would you like? you want ukrainians to defend themselves with water pistols or loud speeches. helping ukraine is not charity, it is a moral duty. this is a duty to future generations, our children and grandchildren. every euro invested in supporting ukraine is an investment in the security and stability of the next decade. and the lady who asked me, i was very shocked by your words when you spoke about lugansk as if lugansk was russian territory. but what's shocking here? according to territorial sovereignty, lugansk is ukraine. and crimea is ukraine. this is extremely shocking. and how about? people are right, what about people’s opinions, it’s not shocking, or it hasn’t bothered us for a long time, that is, when europeans talk about peoples to their advantage, destroying yugoslavia, when they talk unfavorably about territoriality, which is off the top of their head, while, o

this was just announced on social networks by the president of the european council, charles michelleaccording to him, the money will be taken from the eu budget. this will ensure stable and long-term financing for kiev. let me remind you that hungary previously opposed it. the draft final agreement stated that the european union promises budapest to annually discuss how kiev spends european money. however, hungary will no longer be able to block new tranches. in turn, orban insisted on maintaining the right to vote. the problem with traffic jams in the area of ​​small transport is planned to be solved by building three tracks into tunnels and a bridge. the governor announced this moscow region andrey vorobyov. it is microfinance that commits violations , mainly credit organizations, with which we will have to work very closely from february 1 of this year in order to introduce them into the legal field. return by legal means , now there is a short advertisement, and we will continue, do not switch, i have been driving since childhood, everything is fine, i have always been supported,

following ursula fonberen, charles michel spoke at the reopening of the european parliament.difficult, very a difficult decision at the summit, during which it was necessary to push through hungary’s position, this. a signal for the united states of america, in general, we are waiting for clarification, and it is terribly interesting whether orban voted or orban did not vote, apparently he voted, since the decision was made, and all 27 eu members cast their vote in favor, hungary is twenty-seventh. but orbán does not comment; earlier in the morning he said: “ i won’t compromise, that’s how it was.” and then once ... the decision was published, we are transported to the front, the war correspondent, vladimir razin, is in direct communication. volodya, hello, we’re starting from avdeevka. it’s clear that putin said there was the hottest battle, the most difficult fundamental moment for russia in terms of advancing along the front line, how our fighters were doing, how far we went into the city, as i understand it, we went into the city, and where we got caught. ukrainians are c

the central bank of russia has already been approved, the head of the european council, charles michelssue will still be worked out , there is no need to talk about any kind of legitimacy, the main principle is that there are no rules, and what was not allowed yesterday is miraculously resolved today, another thing is that europeans are everything. they still can’t find, we must understand, a legal scheme for using this these frozen funds of the gold and foreign exchange reserves of the russian federation, there is no legal structure for this. irritation with european elites among ordinary citizens is growing, says ikey hammer, editor of the virshaft actuel publication. for defense, strengthening the economy, combating illegal migration and other expenses for the next 4 years. the union will add less than 15 billion euros, while from february twenty-two to october twenty- three, about 77 billion have already been spent on helping kiev. the european union has huge problems, but their source is sanctions. the european union simply destroyed its competitive advantage to the world economy,

according to the publication , the head of the european council, charles michel, and the chief are alsoimarily on conflicts in ukraine in the gas sector. it is noted that most likely the new secretary general of the alliance will be the outgoing prime minister of the netherlands , mark rutte. he could replace jens stoltenberg in this post as early as october this year. the european union announced the start of its own military operation in the red sea. it, according to sources, will last exactly a year. behind this is the time brussels hopes. quote: achieve safety of navigation. the naval mission to protect ships from the houthis is said to be defensive. yemen said it considers the presence of the european union in the red sea a threat to the region. ecuador has reversed the decision to send russian military equipment located in the country to the united states. this was announced by ambassador vladimir sprinchan. the americans offered to exchange these old weapons from soviet times for their own, new ones with a substantial surcharge. and political scientists immediately noted that per

the head of the european council, charles michel, was the first to announce this on the social networkof nuances here. the european union is really ready to allocate 50 billion to kiev euros until 2027, but the entire amount will not be paid immediately. the money is flowing into the country, which ranks 104th in a recently published corruption index, far lower than any other eu state. true, some of the funds are provided in the form of loans, but no one believes that ukraine will ever return them. in the end, eu members are again responsible for this. this january became the first month since 2022 when kiev received virtually no international financial assistance. on the one hand , there are disagreements in the eu, on the other in the american congress, which still cannot approve more than $60 billion that the white house has requested. earlier , german chancellor olaf schulz recalled that germany will allocate 7 to 8 billion euros for military assistance this year. since 2022, 27 eu countries have already donated military equipment, weapons and ammunition worth 28 billion. berlin be

was doing just half an hour ago michel, president of the european council, president of the europeanmission. fondain and heavy artillery in the form of german chancellor olaf scholz, french president emmanuel macron and italian prime minister giorgia maloney. they all locked themselves in the room with orbán and they talked about something, again behind closed doors, tried to persuade him, it was almost 20 minutes ago they were still in such limited negotiations behind closed doors. by the way, orban did not come out to the press to... those who were waiting for him here, so this is one interesting moment, that is, on the eve of everything that happened, a big party... viktor orban emphasized that he is very much looking forward to that , that they will be such a sweet duo, petshoboy, that's all it takes for trump to return to office, well, it will take some time, and until then, orbán is such a lame duck in the european union, and before this summit there were statements, probably a bucket and a little more, some said that the points would be applied. by the law on the european unio

viktor orban, however, did not come to that same dinner the day before at the invitation of charles michelbecame known from sources. met bilaterally with some other leaders, in particular with italian prime minister giorgia miloni, and it is also reported that he had a conversation with emmanuel macron, however, apparently after these meetings, he recorded a special video, which he posted on social networks, where he called on european politicians to hear the voice of the people. the mistake of europe is that the voice of the people is not taken seriously, the leaders do not take the opinion of the people seriously, this is the number one problem. we can discuss migration or the conflict in ukraine, anything, but the voice of the people on the streets is ignored. this is a democratic deficit. at the moment, the european union is at a stage in negotiations with budapest when brussels is ready to make some concessions, but minimal. hungary insists it is willing to lift its veto on the condition that the allocation of funds be reviewed annually. brussels agrees to do this, provided that the v

aware of these problems, scholz flies to washington, and charles michel of brussels tried to shame americankers and scold eurosceptics who want to stop fighting. i heard the statement here and was shocked. some say that lugansk is part of russian territory, this is shocking. territorial integrity means that it is part of ukraine, and crimea is part of ukraine. i am stunned to hear the far left saying that we must stop supplying arms to ukraine. do you want ukrainians to defend themselves with water pistols or with loud speeches? the european gardener barel is passing the time in ukraine; he took two suitcases out of the train at once, either he came for a long time, or he brought something. the head of european diplomacy said that brussels is now preparing police officers for guidance. order in the territory that kiev wants to return, bandera themselves have gone on the defensive, supposedly there are not enough shells, most of all they lack ammunition, i personally miss the silence when you hear the arrival of shells, deafening explosions of various calibers, and then everything calms down

this was announced by the president of the european council, charles michel. he added: the european union takes leadership and responsibility. in support of ukraine, because he knows what is at stake. it is noted that an agreement has been reached after a small group of eu leaders persuaded orbán to overturn his veto of the funding package. the president of ukraine , volodymyr zelenskyi, has already thanked the european leaders for such a decision and noted that it will strengthen the long-term economic and financial stability of our country. i believe. we have to focus on the fact that today is a good day for europe, we did it. we kept our ukrainian friends in suspense for many weeks as to whether we would reach an agreement, and the fact that it was reached in time, in particular thanks to hard work by many of our leaders, and the result is a resolution that includes all 27 member states. we are not tired of ukraine, and there are no problems with that. we have orbán fatigue here in brussels. we have so many things to work out. look outside, not only in brus

michel, it is not a fact that they recognize our prime minister, that is, the government is, but iting government, zelenskyi's government, which is managed manually, and the ministers who are appointed to this government, this is also the responsibility of the bank, and now that they talk about a new course, about a big rotation, well, it really looks quite funny, since we are really talking about zaluzhnyi, only about him, everyone else is being pulled up with... a flail, although i want to note that there has been enough talk about the need for replacement in the cabinet of ministers in many positions, including the minister of veterans for a long time, during the last quarter, these names appear in the public sphere, as - as part of criticism from the civil society to individual ministers, regarding their activities, that they do not manage proactive policy, there is no... dark or there is a systemic crisis in these bodies, it concerns the ministry of internal affairs, because there i believe that the collapse of the system is taking place after the death of monastyrskyi, and now

as the president of the european council, charles michel, emphasized, the european union assumes leadershipnd responsibility in supporting ukraine, because it knows what is at stake . the vote came after a small group of eu leaders managed to persuade pro-putin hungarian leader orbán to overturn his veto of the funding package. also, the prime minister of hungary will not block the issue of increasing arms supplies to ukraine through the european peace fund, although he will not participate in increasing such supplies. the head of european diplomacy said this before the start of the summit in brussels. according to joseph borel, at the moment no one in the european union is against this, as everyone understands that more weapons and ammunition for ukraine from the eu will help it, that is, us, to win a victory over the aggressor. after the controversial statement of president andrzej duda about crimea, in an interview on friday, the polish minister of foreign affairs, radoslaw sikorsky, emphasized that poland. recognizes the independence of ukraine within its internationally established bor

president of the european council charles michel, announcing today's decision, wrote: additional ukraine's package provides permanent, long-term and predictable financing. volodymyr zelenskyi saw the powerful unity of the european union in today's decision. beautiful the president of the european parliament roberta metzola called the news of the event. ukraine is our priority. and that's why we needed the consent of all 27 member states within the framework of the eu budget. this adds trust, legitimacy and predictability, which are expected from us, because the security of ukraine is the security of europe. and for this we must fulfill the obligations which agreed two years ago that we will be with ukraine as long as necessary. well, without exaggeration, today's event is extremely important also considering how everything happened, how long the negotiations took, well, we will talk about that later, but here is what is worth emphasizing: 50 billion euros, this money will not go to military needs , the financing of the armed forces of ukraine is covered on its own, we are talking about bud

the head of the european council, charles michel, said that all 27 eu countries have given their consentto the agardian publication, hungarian prime minister viktor orban was the only european leader who was against the allocation of 50 billion to kyiv. he insisted that aid to ukraine be calculated until 2027, every year unanimously approved by all eu countries. the guardian writes that european leaders did not make any significant concessions to orbán, but... took some steps that would allow him not to look like a loser. according to the publication, the eu leaders have decided that aid to kyiv will be reviewed in two years if necessary. i will remind you that the decision to provide economic aid to ukraine in the amount of eur 50 billion was planned to be adopted in december of that year, but then it was blocked by the prime minister of hungary, viktor orban. well, today.

charles michel announced the agreement after a discussion in such a circle. by the premiers of belgium, the netherlands, and poland, although they are not in this picture. orbán said, he harassed everyone, because he received a guarantee that the funds are intended for hungary, the european commission still receives her 20 billion euros, will not get to ukraine. mission accomplished, hungarian funds. will not end up in ukraine, we have a control mechanism at the end of the first and second year, our position on the war in ukraine remains unchanged, a ceasefire and peace talks are needed. ukraine will receive the money it urgently needs. the last formal step will be taken by the european parliament at the end of february. tranche from the new package in march. kyiv calculates that it will be 4.5 billion, and rfe/rl's sources say that they are preparing to send one and a half. transaction plan then they adjust together. ukraine is fighting for us, so we will support them with the necessary funding and provide the much-needed predictability they deserve. i think

michel and denis shmegel are confused, this is a real story, yes, during polls, they show photos, and they are confused where our prime minister is, but you understand when we talk about the reduction of the state apparatus, here it is still necessary to separate these things, if we are talking exclusively about the cabinet of ministers, the cabinet of ministers, then some optimization, there is the unification of certain there are some ministries or their liquidation, it is possible, and in principle we can talk about it. even during the legal regime of martial law, but all this must be done very carefully, since in our country very often such optimizations, when two ministries are combined there, actually end. the fact that the bureaucratic apparatus of all ministries , on the contrary, well, this one, or rather, the ministries, is larger than the previous two taken separately, this is the first, yes, and the second, if we are talking about the civil service as a whole, i, for example, am categorical here opponent some reductions for one simple reason, and where to cut even further,

listen, what are we talking about if 25% of our citizens confuse, at least, confuse charles michel and shmegal, this is a real story, yes, during polls, they show photos and get confused about where our prime minister is, but you understand, when we talk about the reduction of the state apparatus, here we still have to separate these things, if it comes to ... exclusively about the cabinet of ministers, the cabinet of ministers, then some optimization, the unification of certain ministries or their liquidation, it is possible, and in principle it is possible to talk about it even during the legal regime of martial law, but all this is necessary do very be careful, since we very often have similar optimizations, when two ministries are combined there, in fact it ends with the fact that the bureaucratic apparatus of all ministries is on the contrary, well, this one, or rather the ministry. is bigger than the previous two , taken separately, this is the first, yes, and the second, if we are talking about the civil service as a whole, i, for example, am a categorical opponent of any cuts h

michel regarding the agreement of 50 billion euros for...ean union takes leadership and responsibility in supporting ukraine. we know what's at stake. why is it important to pay attention to it? because on ours before our eyes an extraordinary event occurs. europe takes full responsibility for the heavy burden of continuing the armed struggle with russia. this is how this can be, given that the european union suffered most from the severance of ties with moscow. but what is the problem here, we started with a good, very good, so to speak, remark, a phrase from napoleon, there was a great commander there so many years ago in 1812, there’s no getting around it, he is considered one of the great politicians, apparently in his he was a great man at the time he clearly said that he was beginning another campaign against russia, a united europe. and we are leaving everything behind, today people of a much smaller scale, much less political opportunities, and most importantly, people who are not independent figures are trying to repeat the campaign

michel, it's not a fact that they recognize our prime minister, that is, it is a government, but itovernment, zelenskyi's government, which is managed manually and... the ministers who are appointed to this government are also the bank's responsibility. and now when they are talking about a new course, about a big rotation , well, really, it looks quite funny , since it is really about zaluzhnyi, only about him, everyone else is being pulled by the trailer, although i want to note that about the need for replacement in the cabinet of ministers in many positions and in that the minister of veterans has been talked about for a long time, during the last quarter these names... appear in the public sphere, as part of criticism from the civil society of individual ministers and their activities, that they do not cope proactive policy, there is no systemic one , or there is a systemic crisis in these bodies, this thing concerns the ministry of internal affairs, because there i believe that the collapse of the system is taking place after the death of monastyrskyi, and now it is already ta

you council president charles michele of sending his condolences that holding russia entirely responsible and as you just showed the quote from arrears, a honda about the form industries, folks both on the thing a forensic examination as not even concluded yet. and yet already the blame has already been costs because of that, you know, so it's, it's, it's really, that's odd, be surprising. but i would, i would say this is almost like a belated new year's gift for the west and establishment. they love this kind of stuff, anything they can sing that to you it it into to bloss putin and the must go administration . well, they must be lovely. best right now. yeah. he's on a quarter, appreciate the updates on this breaking news. i hope to see you soon. thank you. let's take this uh conversation further now with an independent induction john list of sonya thunder. then now joining us here or not. so you international sonya goodness to me on mind. it is a shocking story. there's no doubt about it, we're all caught off guard by this and, and such little information as well regarding his death. bu
