forces of ukraine. i know what is happening. everything is supposed to leave claire . but nevertheless, the war is on our carry. therubi are not fighting on the territory of the russia of the new did not come to the territory of russia. the did not. com, do kill people of russia or of de larosa because you know how the full scale each and we invasion started on the 24th from the ra kitty that they are sent from the territory villa. ruth. and we have the evidence and video wavy video footage use of this that, which is why, which is why my answer is very simple. the, all these are abide the law and we will always obey the law. but in this war, we see who is the enemy and who has started the war and the see who continues. they swore finger services are a current european, prouder ukrainian for valia. i have

a question of myrtle presidents and the latin. oh, regarding our, let's say pastora membership of murray, some assessments essays, letter ah, but we can expect a decision on the, at my, our candidacy status, even a mas, this summer. i'm in a, or in the saw meter in june. would you sure is that assessment? is it feasible to get that at all? so it is important that to do you expect as that we can get the candidacy while hostilities are still here? so is it dependent? i mean, not membership, but just the candidacy. and maybe you can say that part of negotiation is dependent or for misuse of hostilities or, or we can just go forward not waiting for, for us or 30. thank you very much. perhaps one or 2 sentences on the process, how it normally goes. so after a,

an application in the column. so decides to tasks the commission to form an opinion . this normally takes years here, it took weeks and then the commission develops the soho questionnaire and in a process back and forth. this questionnaire is field so that there's a clear picture of what the state of play in the country is and whether it for fins, for example, the copenhagen criteria us. this also takes normally years and we have committed ourselves to work together now on this very important step to draw and design the state of play of the country and many, many detailed questions are in there. so it's, it's not only one question that is determining the outcome of this opinion. many questions are to be answered. we want to work hand in hand to fill out this questionnaire, to draw the picture, to paint the picture of this country and it's passed towards europe. and then the

opinion is basically a recommendation that comes from the commission towards the council. the council then decides a over the next steps, so i would give ourselves a chance an opportunity to work on that. now, i'm with also the knowledge, as i just said, that this is an unusual path that ukraine is going. ukraine has whatever the outcome is, a long period, an intensive period of reconstruction ahead of it. because russia brutally destroys infrastructure, livelihoods, and cities. and therefore, in this process, we want to reach out to really work with you to reform, to build up, to reconstruct. and this will determine in a positive way the past was a european union of that. so give go through the way through mike

the mood of our communication of our dialogue and our relations between ukraine and european union. i think is the best damn in many years now. unfortunately, the fact is that it's because of the war war. can that clear? they're not the only ethos. all are people visa or a government making ukraine so strong. but they also seeing that, unfortunately this was brought to a lot of losses and there too long to protect ukrainian people. i've feel that these were united, the gears era, european union, and the world usa, their men aggressions. the zeal for sure, find the answers together. there it is, european union and realized that the people of the world. so this is from germany. a question. yes. and even leave your money, be all so the old is line doris and the answers. they just need a dime,

and the most important are you now ease to be united to be together, or even when the leaders or fewer than countries are slowing down or breaking these certain processes from what i see the people off the world, people of european who now what v c? as we paul, it's not about me. it's about our people's, the all. see that people girl and stress the above in every city, including bernie and would go one square s. and the day goes era to support ukraine and lee. they are on this war and they need to win in this. we need to really over at the poorly quicksilver russian federation of this aggression towards old people of ukraine. people of ukraine means people of europe because feet have the same

values, which is why the question about the sanctions that you have been discussing today. are questions all diplomatic, where was or for european union against any country today. and fortunately, the have the, any make the have the address service be had the country that wants to take to grab, to occupy neighboring territories. and i think that the most powerful will ease that the functions are not just source is but are a deep, deeply i worked out and implemented to the very and so the thrush, a cannot overcome those sanctions sitting in the living in a zalinski it's, i have when a president, when he president, when i need to president, you being in a room with the length girl leader will, cuz i looked on the him a little, the south. you're watching all the 0 on that is the, the ukrainian president standing alongside the european commission, president ursula on july and as well as the you. hi representative for foreign affairs a just a barrel. they were speaking

a little bit earlier on and keep after all a meeting together. and here's what some of some of what we heard just a short while ago from the officials, the a user just a barrel. saying that in a couple of days we can allocates a 500000000 new euros to ukraine and that's for arms and weapons. so that you pledging more weapons for ukraine as well as increasing financial support to the country. and we also heard from the use commission president ursula of under lion, who said that more sanctions at her as well as the ukranian president, i should say, both of them stressing that more sanctions are needed against russia. let's bring and wrestle, sardar. he's joining us from a creek, keith, to talk us through some of the be the other highlights that were mentioned and talked about in that press conference while through their press conference. at particular, the european side is promising for more weapons and also for more budget to

allocate allocation, which are quite a significant for you grant. considering that it is going through the tough time. so 1000000000 worth or a 1000000000 euros worth of more weapons that has been promised by or still of on the land, the president of the european commission to, to, to ukraine here. and also she mentioned about the more budget support and at least for the next couple of days, there will be $600.00 more 1000000 euros more also to be allocated for for ukraine . there's a present lensky in the past has repeatedly said that your opinion has done a lot, but it's not enough. and the experts that we have been speaking to, they were saying that the here, the key issue is going to be the cut off the complete in portal that they did import off the russian gas. but there hasn't been any mention on on that. and also the austell of wonderland emphasized that european union is going to,

to take good care of the ukrainian refugees internally to place refugees in ukraine and those who are, who left the country and went to the european countries. and also the construction of ukraine also was one of the that the issue because that we seated it as more and more to the scale of the destruction is becoming apparent than definitely it is going to be one of the main issue, particularly during the peacetime of the it after the war. but a here, one of the political highlight is the ukraine's application for european union. and also wanted lane says that normally the process takes years and years. the european council, the european commission, will prepare a form an opinion. and that will take years, and then the recommendation will go to the castle, and the council won't casa, will decide. but here, as you, and he's going to have very unusual pat, you'd opinion also, he is ready to adopt an unusual path. and europe commission is going to make his
