this is, these will be of no doubt of decisive importance and because these is coming weeks are so important we must remain before open. i'd like the usage. we must continue to provide maximum level level of support. and i can see 3 main areas where we need to do that in the military field. we have spoken about this on many occasions over recent weeks. remember it with your meeting with president vendor under lion. and during the roofing council, you were able to make your point. it was very clear and straightforward terms to the european awful leaders. that, of course, you will have had and will have some informal contacts as well. to talking about the of your military needs. what you need to help you defend and protect the integrity of you currently of ukraine artillery, munitions, and defense systems, nothing. and this you have told us exactly who him at what you need and what you need. now, that's the 1st point. secondly, you come here with an,

a message for me concerning the piece formula. and i would just say that in this respect, the european union wants to be at your side and to britain, to the international community. clear determination to respect international law, the un charter and a sovereignty of ukraine. we will spare no efforts, day after day to carry on this diplomatic on this and political battle at all in all international forest of what we want to see how it is possible to organize a summit for peace. we must not were fully aware that we cannot allow ourselves to back down. that could be intimidated. we must be inspired by the courage of the ukrainian people and a 3rd point i wanted to mention that we didn't like. i spoke that i spoke about this a few days ago, and if you have chosen you have you followed the choice of the ukraine in

pico free and sovereign choice, which was already expressed on the my dad to turn towards freedom and a democratic democracy. and the european destiny you have asked for candidacy status in the european union. and i think we can be very proud of the fact that the european leaders decided so quickly to grant candidate status to ukraine for your membership. since then, despite the ongoing war, you have bravely and so good, great determination implemented reforms. we are very impressed with all the progress that has been made in just a few months. we know what to do. so what brings you to that after the summer, there will be a report from the european commission. my responsibility will be to ensure that the council live subject. it's responsibility is by the end of this year on the basis of the commission report. and we can decide on the follow up to this integration

process for one with ukraine in the european union. these are the 3 main messages on a military support. political diplomatic support and support for you. ukraine's european destiny adjusted by way of conclusion. but i would just say that the european union will maintain its determination to put pressure on the kremlin sanctions are still on the table. the tendency to sanctions package is being discussed. we want to take a consistent and firm approach. we want to ensure that those were guilty of crimes can be held to account for those crimes, including for the crime of aggression. and that is why we have the initiative to collect evidence and proof of so that we can enable international justice to remove even impunity in this respect, we want to ensure that we can also take the appropriate measures for regard to the

frozen acid is only fair that is pro frozen russian essence used to rebuild ukraine and to provide fair compensation to listening to what you great present zalinski in addressing that your european counterparts. you refer to the founding fathers of the european union. these key personalities awakens the 2nd world war who dreamt up is european project with new promises, more promising future for europeans who had been traumatized by the 2 tragic world wars which have devastated european continent. all of us here on the home is that through our families, our parents are great. our grandparents who lived through these horrors of the 2nd world war with base all the european projects, peace and prosperity as the key to a better future. these are the key to our european projects and our generation.

european town, so yes, it was the closest meeting, but i want you to understand that and to get the feeling of what we discussed. and this sense lee was defined by one of the leaders of the road. me and union who said the long term with east and europe, which will only happen when ukraine will get the victory and will become the members member of the european union. this is the unity we have managed to built the unity, which means that the european union will be with us under the victory of ukraine. and ukraine will become the part of the european union, our discussions and brussels bullying to have been very concrete, very precise. we were talking about security, we were talking about this with saving lives and stability. we were talking about

the return of justice and these values are not just ukrainian values the european values as well. and we are, we have discussed this on your crime used to export the electricity to the european union, or we were making your social life or your welfare dependent on the 3rd. russia has occupied and switched from the network, our nuclear power stations. 3rd is the violation of your interest values. yes. but also the interests and we can talk about every single element of the russian aggression in the same way. yes, they are trying to destroy our economy and our cities, but they're doing in such a way. we got entered the fact of all the europeans. we are very great. what are you for out now? defense systems. but also i would like to stress. this is in the interests of all

of us, not just crania, and all the europeans that russia should not make new missiles that russia should not attack our city. so we have to move to another stop and introduce the sanctions and cancel the drone and the you a the on the miss out in the street on russia and also the part of their i to sector which gave some provisions and support to the russian terror. then we can reduce the destruction and we can remove and the source of our defense of our dangerous attacks. i have been very inspired by your statements that europe will be with us until our victory. i've heard it from a number of the european leaders. and i'm very grateful to them for those i've heard and by their readiness to give us a lesser re weapons on the support, including the aircrafts and i will have a number of by letters you know,

and we are going to raise the issue. oh, the fighter jets and other aircraft, so we are working with and continue to work and brussels. i want to thank all of you for i want to think the europeans, the citizens, the citizens of the european union, for all your support. for the way you support our people for giving us the ref, you're getting the refuge and the shelter for the ukrainian citizens who were trying to protect their children from the bombs. millions of our citizens are now supported in europe, and i hope that your citizens could see that the european values are real. thank you very much for those who thank you for everything. friends did you back and that's the only way i can address your job. friends for good. thank you and glory

to hi. can't you as the president, madam president, you have. thank you very much mister president, dave aladdin mia. thank you. thank you for coming to the heart of the european union. thank you for the strong message we heard from you. your fight is a fight for independence for democracy, for free europe. and i did not only hear your strong and powerful message in the european parliament, but also here in the european council. and i heard your urgency, we all heard the urgency of your call to support ukraine. now you spoke in a very moving manner about and praising the european way of life. and you added that ukrainians. want to come home to this european way of life. and

indeed today you see we are one families. we are one vision and family members help each other. you can count on us. we will continue to provide our full support now to sustain your people through this atrocious war and for the future. ukrainians are giving their lives for free and independent ukraine. they are fighting for the respect of our common values. and we know that we can never match the sacrifices ukrainians are making every single day. but we can stand up for you one figure that puts it into perspective is 67000000000. 67000000000 of support. we have mobilized in the last 12 months, from budget support to fast recovery from energy supply to military capabilities

from humanitarian aid, to refugee support. and we must do more. this, i think, is also the urgency. we took a way to day as a message from you, and we must do more. we are supporting ukraine to win this war. and we're making sure that ukraine winds the piece that will come. it must be a just peace. we fully back your piece formula. the overloaded meer, the european union is working with its partners to support ukraine across the 10 points of your piece formula from economic security on nuclear safety for security energy among others. and we will work hard to ensure the broadest possible global support for it. a just peace also means

accountability. this brings me to my 2nd point. russia must pay for the destruction cost and for the blood spilt. in the next days we will propose the 10th package of sanctions. first we will impose sanctions on a number of political and military leaders, but also the of another mirror. we listened very carefully to your messages when we visited you last week in key if we will target proteins propagandists because there lies a poisoning the public space in russia and abroad. you were insisting on that we hear you. we will follow up and we are going after them. secondly, the package will include additional exports, ban, worse, more, more than $10000000000.00 euros. this will further star of rush us military machine

and continue to shake the foundation of its economy. and the international community is also working hard to ensure that justice is served. 3 steps are important. the 1st one is that we collect and store evidence of the crimes being committed. we have already started. the 2nd step is to have prosecutors work together for that we are setting up the center in the hague. and the next step is to set up a tribunal here. the discussions are ongoing about the exact structure, but i assure you one autumn here, we have the political will to hold the perpetrator accountable, including for the crime of aggression. and there is the political will, so we must find a way finally,

on our common future. ukraine's youth is fighting for their sovereign country too many are paying the ultimate price, but their dreams lives on dreams of a new ukraine. not only free democratic and european, but also fair and green and prosperous. we are already laying the groundwork. we have built the reconstruction platform with that which has gone live. now. our partners start seconding experts to the secretariat, which we are hosting and brussels. and in case the response to our call is amazing . our cities are joining to 36 european cities from vilnius to venice. we'll work with 10 cities in ukraine like hockey fan. he f. this is the living

proof of the enormous support you have all over the european union. and as you said, every single person counts you said it very powerful in the european power parliament. it's asked the politicians. yes, but every single person in the european union counts to contribute to support ukraine. ukraine has advantage advancing on its yearning european path in an impressive manner. accession is a merits based process and your track record shows that you are able to deliver fast and of high quality, even as you fight and aggressive, even as you are at why. i hear ukrainian people so often speak about their hopes that want their children to grow up in the european union. and this whole gives

them the strength to cope with this horrible war. the economy em between now and this bright future. there may be a hard road to tread, but rest assured that we will be with you along every step of the way. let's turn ukrainians dreams into reality into the european way of life. and since the beginning of my mandate, i have concluded every single speech with the words long live europe since one year. for good purpose. we add to the term milan live europe, always sla ukraine. yes. and i was like thank you very presidents will take a few questions 1st,

but from the ukrainian media. so diana, you had a question from radio free europe. good afternoon everyone as so obviously my 1st question is to ukrainian president. so if you don't mind colleague saygos feature into ukranian language of the middle of sandra, i clear up another mare, a we have seen the result of your visit to bridge. i'm after this, a british prime minister has announced that training for ukrainian boilers. so, but by the time ukraine could potentially go to the fight, a church and they would be trying to prepare that was quite in your concrete announcement. and when you met in paris with sherman, chancellor and french president, there were no concrete promises. doesn't mean that they were not announced publicly, or they didn't happen. so perhaps you could share those decisions with us. and also

you've had the meeting with $27.00, the leaders of the european union, and also about the representatives of the european institutions. we understand that your priority was indeed to find a breakthrough solution for the ukraine ticket, the fight at church, and also long range missiles. has ukraine got any closer after this meeting that was there, present the question to the grant president of european commission. i would like to address you as so you mentioned to this topic apart from the web. and another crucial topic trace here is the future membership of ukraine in the european union as so as far as you know, the 1st official assessment of the implementation of 7 criteria is about to come into later 2023 and to ukraine counseling the, getting the decision on open in the accession talk, sir the same year, i mean 2023. so how could you estimate the aud center?

the possibility is to open the accession, talk to especially in 2023. and is it possible that in addition to these 7 so called conditions would be added new once? thank you can answer long, long question. i will answer in ukraine, ukraine and if possible arm yamazik shar music one. but i think that our visit to london has a cheers resolves and we have moved towards the solution. so concerning the long range missiles and the training of our pilots. yes, indeed, that is an important road to chatting to find out what we need. also those certain agreements which are not public,

but i'll positive. and when these are items will happen and i'll state her, i've said will know those, but i don't want to prefer the russian federation, which constantly throws us. oh boy is the new aggression concerning paris and the meeting with the president at mcgraw and chancellor schultz. we heard young, i would say a very powerful meeting, a very important meeting. and yes, ma'am, i see this meeting about causative one compound, talking about concrete decisions. indeed, and i would normally want to announce too many thanks publicly, but all i can say is that we're working towards the enhancement of our cable bill. it is when we talk about that a fennel surf that we are talking about are not equipment and we are talking about

the tanks. and i have received my voicemail to if impression from our meeting, most of the human media. when we talk about the meeting with the 27 leaders. well, 1st of all, we have time to start. that britain, france, and $27.00 countries of the you and the european union and your leadership and, and it is a society of the european union. but all deserve a huge gratitude from us, nice from australia. so one of the reasons why i'm here is i have to thank you for all the way goes roll. the hurts, which were meant ng concrete steps which was mentioning today. these are the concrete measures to support our society. we want to see what our dish laced citizens and our economy as well, that all supported our resilience resilience of the state moves the army and the army resilient army means to victory. and that, as of course,

the only result we all see, i planks gotten further to talking about the results of the meeting. well, when we talk about the meetings, we indeed learn to close. we still have a number of my laterals, we are working and it's a work order in process. thank you. we, we recruit bars firstborn. i'm absolutely just feeling that this meeting is an occasion for many, many, or you will lead us to major. we're clear that they are ready to provide more military support and we all understood the urgency of this nature, more military support point one and point to the you in order and process. i'm done . fitted because sir, we observed the recent which in men how you train they, we treaty demonstrated the ability to implement and we found the thought extremely important and to make progress through that we, we know what will happen in the following weeks. ukraine will continue to implement . we followed are needed for antoine. the commission will make

a report and the chelsea be has to decide what are the next steps baggins of the a the commission is indeed working very closely with the ukrainian government on her, the progress in the candidate status and the 7 steps. and of course it on these 7 steps and not more referring to your question because we have agreed on these ones . and it is impressive to see how highly professional with enormous quality ukraine is advancing on doing the necessary reforms and a working on the 7 steps. for example, the adoption of the anti corruption strategy, the resumption of the higher judicial council than you media law. all these are steps absolutely in the right direction, more needs to be done, but important is to understand there is no rigid timeline. it is a merits based process, so it's up to the candidate country how far and how fast they reach or the goals

that are being set. indeed, there will be an oral report now in spring, but the big goal is to show the progress and to show the track record in the progress and the reforms to the report that the written report, enlargement report and fall. that's our, a common goal. the commission is of course, supporting ukraine as much as possible and advising as much as possible in these question. i think it's very helpful that we have not the secretariat in brussels and in chief because from the very beginning it was clear that a when we move forward now in fast recovery and we are a repair later on in reconstruction, that investments should be coupled with reforms that pave the past was a european union. this is rita from ukraine info. yes, please. hello, calling 1st,

but they will switch the ukraine. this full version only will make a follow them in. or i would like to ask a question about armed forces of ukraine. oh, you know that our one on t is our armed forces, corporate via corporate, quite closely with the european council and also with the union. but unfortunately, the north, every but in the european union army, i sometimes feels i know that the country is at war. the awesome entertain and facility is working and they give forgetting about the hell of but i wanted other places and i wanted to ask you,

when do you feel the whole country and the society? well, we're young. actually start feeling that the country is at war together with the armed forces. jack was of the time. thank you very much for this question. i think we shouldn't makes everything together this flood. it's very difficult to wage war for such a long time ish. and we are very, very grateful to armed forces and known just as those who are on the front line. but of course, we have a great auto zone because they giving their lives. but also those who are waging war working not just in the front line, they work, they have to pay taxes, people who are supporting the army. so indeed, people are people, humans are humans, and other people who are tired to work. and this machines are,

of course, are psycho logical issues. there are people who already knew driven in taishan, those who are lost, somebody close to their relatives. there are those who want to forget who they are . grieving people are of humans. they're different now, and i think that's the component of our lives. we can not treat everybody the same way. we can say you all absolutely muscle when people have to have a consciousness conscious of that, they have to understand it themselves. they're. i agree with you totally, people have to understand that unfortunately of enough order the was continuous. unfortunately ma'am. oh some of it depends wrong. our unity and i.
