democrats, the elite of their party, and we also talked about many things, i understand that some things especially in the communication sense, eh, well, probably for everyone , it plays on emotions, but i know that well, our colleagues , the soldamokrats, have changed so much in the last four months. i would not believe what they are talking about they say now that they could say that 4 months ago, for example , the same thing about the germans well, i won't cite concrete names, but i met with ministers with smooth uh-uh all wives, like with bundestag uh and uh, advisers of schultz and so on далее также with the head of spd parties, and in these meetings they said the same thing, i will try to quote it exactly, that uh, what kind of compromise would allow putin to present, uh, believe in victory or present it

as a victory for his audience, which means that there will be the next war, what kind of er, a compromise that er will allow putin to believe in victory means that's how she spoke, only a dearly bought break until the next war, which will already cross the borders of ukraine, the germans said it. so it seems to me that in this situation, er, there are also people they are being performed before our eyes, i.e. to listen. did we reach europe like this because we are talking about it? it seems to me that since the 14th year we have been saying that you do not think that war will not come to you. if you think that only ukraine will suffer, then you are wrong. that is, you are now you can simply state that the opinions of the german partners have changed, i believe that of course there are the most radical leftists who, well, they are still

asking what kind of compromise to make, but still, the main decision-makers have already changed, that is, irreversibly, for example, in in one of the meetings, in one of the meetings it was said very clearly that germany would never trust russia again, and in the other medium it was said that er world order, i don't know how to say it in russian, the order of the world yes, that the order of the world of russia was always destroyed the same it will never be like before, and it was also said that the attitude towards russia has changed for a decade, so these are specific things to hide with the ministers, with the heads of defense, and yes, yes, i was even surprised. i thought that it would be necessary to persuade to negotiate and so on

but the turning point has already happened on kak ona sejjak. well, in fact, er, it was the work of not only ukrainians, but also the work of you, our partners, in order to change the opinion that we thought would never change in the same germany. so it was very it's difficult, but thanks to you and also thanks to our partners, we manage to do it, but not as quickly as we would like, but we thank you very much. thank you for joining the air together. we are going to victory, together we will protect the entire civilized world - that's right. the national security and defense committee of the lithuanian parliament was in touch with us. well, in the meantime , let's move on and return in a few minutes . unconquered cities of ukraine. zaporizhzhia, the city of harsh

the central and most important topic this is where the eu. on may 30-31, the leaders of european countries continue the discussion on the war in ukraine, energy , food security and defense. the president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi will also join in via video link. one of the most important issues will be the issue of financial assistance to ukraine. we will also discuss support and the restoration of ukraine, as it requires significant global efforts, is reported on the website of the council of the european union, and according to the head of the european council charles mischen, aid to ukraine is also being discussed in the eu vex in the export of agricultural products, i will add that according to the media on the website of the eu leaders, they will promise for the first time to arm ukraine to fight against the russian aggressor, this is what we will be talking about very soon, and we will be talking about it now, please contact us maria penzentseva, people's deputy of ukraine, deputy chairman of the committee on the integration of ukraine with the european union e.p. maria, we welcome

you good evening indeed we are all waiting for this very why because even such decisions can be made on it ukraine's status as a candidate for a member of the european union is yes. well , i will explain a little technically, first of all, he has been out of line with us since the last war and european integration and all international activity takes place in moments of challenges and responses to such challenges. charles michel, who is very similar to our prime minister prime minister mr. chmyhal calls an extraordinary meeting of the european council, they will remind, but the audience means that all this is unclear, and the terminology is yes, the european council is the head of state or their prime minister, taking into account the form governance of the state, really, in addition to energy,

the food crisis, financial support, additional military support, as well as the question, well, this does not sound very loud, but i would emphasize on it the question of our temporarily displaced persons, because the european commission recently singled out a separate person, he dealt with issues for a very long time before that ukraine understands them, because there are currently about five million of our people temporarily displaced persons in the european union, this figure is constantly changing, and their e, that is, the programs of each countries, they differ and they must be continued. for this, too, funds must be allocated for each state. in addition to these issues, as you, mr. andrii, pointed out, this will be such a platform for preliminary discussions until june 24. give x to all of us who are engaged in international european integration. every day, i

want to emphasize that despite the war, the jewish integration committee of the verkhovna rada is small in number, but very powerful, together with the relevant minister ms. stefanishino, together with the government of the president of the state, mr. zelensky, we are now we are in such active diplomatic communications, some will argue that it is also representatives of the president's office and individual ministers who are distributed among the so-called difficult partner states, and who will convince in what way this political decision will help ukraine and only in ukraine, but also the entire european project, i.e. the eu, which has been in existence for more than 70 years, was precisely created for the four freedoms of freedom of movement of people, freedom of movement of funds, economic preferences, and

also joint development for peace and not for wars. that is why we will see it on 30-31. it is very important that at the opening there will be a speech by president zelenskyi and well, i am sure that we can call them difficult countries, we are not ashamed, they are france, germany, the netherlands, austria is already less difficult. we visited there recently, we understand that they are at least not will block this process but will not choose the flag of the primacy of nubism for the e-e status of the candidate, such interesting countries as belgium and cyprus are added, and our colleagues are visiting tomorrow and the day after tomorrow in portugal, spain this process is difficult but realistic, none of the 27 countries that have already joined the eu and candidate countries in these western volcanoes

directly had such achievements as ukraine has on the fourth day of the war. ukraine joined the eu energy market a year before the projected date and now it is fine exports its electricity to the eu country, terminating all ties with russia, belarus, this is for example yes, but we should be proud of these laws that improve the condition of not only the energy system of our daily life with you this is a question of food, this is a question of air, this is a question of business, i emphasize, we are already waiting for the vote of the european parliament and now it will be confirmed at the executive level, we are sure, at the executive level, that is, 365 days of the term of barrier-free trade, we are, let's say, already testing almost full membership, having freedom of movement, visa-free regime, having trade preferences, more precisely, excellent

trade careers by the way, implementation of the association agreement is our roadmap, our document from 2014 and there too we are 100% on trade barriers fulfilled, well, in general, by 63% - this is a wonderful, wonderful progress, let's not forget about its digital color, the digital economy is very far from the european union to our, uh, achievements in the field of numbers , we must not forget about this and not be modest , because about these achievements we we tell our partners that ukraine is a responsible partner and guests , not a country that is in the last war. well, there is just one such case in the history of the eu, of course, it is the only one. well, this is very cool and you said in a cool way that you should not be ashamed of your achievements because even during the war, ukraine shows extraordinary results, it is not only about weapons there, but also about digital policy, because mykhailo fedorov also

initiated a lot of such things from february 24 directly, by the way, ms. maria, regarding ukraine's membership in the eu, because we know that the topic of ukraine - this won't be the first time. it's on the agenda in the european union. and hmm, yes, for several years in a row, exactly since the 14th year. what do you think can prevent us from getting, uh, this candidacy for membership in the european union, it could be some kind of military aspect, the economic aspect, regarding what the partners can tell us. what do you think, mani maria, i want to make this comment very simple for all ukrainians, so now the question of the candidate is this, calling his candidates candidates is a bad word. we can already say that he is a candidate this decision simply needs to be approved, since our documents submitted by

president zelensky to the european commission will have a response from the government, well, the european commission is our government, for example. yes, but the government of 27 countries with european commissioners. it’s just that the ministers are called that. the european commission, as a technical body, will give its opinion on the two questionnaires submitted by us, which were filled out in a historically short period of time, each taking 7 days. war , the government is functioning, the ukrainian parliament votes about 30 important laws every week , the president is in place, his office is working, our europeanness is simply in every place, even if it is occupied, be it melitopol or

kherson region or any other place that received the status of european brands in food or received an award from the council of europe for example, my native kharkiv more than 10 years ago, but it continues to be shelled, but this will not reduce its sketch, its beautiful development and courage both in kharkiv and uzhhorod, lviv, odessa and chernihiv oblast, we all understand that we have answers to all the questions that both the eu government, i.e. the european commission, and our partners want to hear from us. they are trying to lead us astray from this path, these are the western beams of the countries that are in the state of status. let's say that they received the status of a candidate approximately 13 years ago and are in the status of admission. well, this is a question for each country from this group if they fulfill

the conditions, and we fulfilled them when we applied for status , article 49, this is also the conditions of e 100 regarding democracy, freedom of speech , media, equality, etc., and the rule of law, etc. of ukraine to adequately organize this process and respond to all our achievements and show putin's red card because the eu project now depends and is being resolved. let's say that in ukraine because of the ukrainian issue. on coal and steel, it has now turned into a completely political let's say political

expediency and the largest world market of 58 million people who buy ukrainian which now use ukrainian and we are not required to also help businesses that are returning little by little to resume their work and in this way pay taxes and restore the economy of ukraine, someone says that it will take us 10 years to return on february 24, 2022, but with the tools currently provided by macro-financial assistance from the eu, well, i will not clog up the ether with numbers, but it exists and i am sure, as a representative of the european integration direction, that this aid will not be stopped, because today the functioning of the state circulates 7 billion dollars a month, we consider our state a success, and this meeting is very important for ukraine.

30-31 , we will keep an eye on it. good night to you well , in the meantime, every minute ukraine continues to repulse the russian enemy, the general staff reports that enemy units are concentrating their main efforts on obtaining occupied positions on the kharkiv direction, the russian troops are trying to renew the offensive in the slavic direction, also in the area of ​​the settlement of pasika, but they did not succeed and retreated to the donetsk direction, the aggressor is conducting active operations in the liman , north donets, bakhmut, kurakhiv, and avdiiv directions, the main goal is to surround our troops in the areas of the towns of lysichanska severodonetsk and reach the administrative border of the luhansk region, in particular, in the severodonetsk direction, the enemy launched an offensive in the borivsk direction and suffered losses

retreated to previously occupied positions in the avdiyiv direction, attack aircraft launched airstrikes in the areas of avdiyivka vesele and kamianka settlements in the kurakhiv novopavliv and zaporizhzhia directions, the enemy launched a counter-battery fight, meanwhile, in the kherson region, the armed forces of ukraine launched counterattacks and the occupiers eventually suffered losses closer to midnight it became known that in occupied donetsk an ammunition warehouse at a coke chemical plant was on fire, and in luhansk ova there were reports of fierce fighting north donetsk, but the city under the ukrainian flag in luhansk region predicts that the next week will be difficult and promises a worthy repulse. russian troops will continue to talk about these heavy battles in donetsk region as well. serhiy garmash is in touch with us now. these are journalists . sergey

, greetings to you. good evening. thank you for joining. and these events that are happening now that you see in donetsk region, how can you comment because the president said that the account of the armed forces one to 20 and troops and weapons as well. what are our chances of resisting? well, we have a natural interest in resisting because this is our land and we perfectly understand the consequences. and if we lose donbas, its administrative borders will simply be carried out referendums russia is annexing the territory, it will be more difficult to return them. i think that there is already information about the decision of the biden administration to provide ukraine with a salvo fire system. i think that it will take at least 3 weeks. in order to

they appeared. this is the minimum on the front line and this time. we need to restrain the enemy by all means and all possibilities so that he cannot achieve his declarative goal of seizing donetsk and luhansk regions in administrative borders, because then putin will announce the victory in the special operation to the russian people, and it will be. i think it will significantly increase the morale of the russian troops. that is, it will be more difficult for us to knock them out of of our land, mr. sergius, listen you have now touched on referendums, but even for this day, for this moment, it seems to me that even in russia, everyone knows very well that these are not referendums. and this is a fiction

, just like they have elections in russia. these referendums in which there is no legality, there is no manifestation of the will of the people, well, you and i know about this, and they need a referendum as a formality in order to annex this territory, that is, they cannot hold a referendum until the entire territory is controlled by them, and we remember that putin recognized the so-called dpr of the lpr as separate states and within the administrative borders of the luhansk donetsk oblasts, that is, in order to er-e carry out any annexation actions, he needs control over these territories if he they will receive administrative borders, that is borders within ukraine, well, that is, if he recognizes the administrative border of luhansk to donetsk region, then this means that he recognizes that they operate within ukraine. unfortunately, he simply recognizes the so-called constitutions of the so-called

dpr, lpr, in which we will write that these so-called republics have territory within the administrative borders of the donetsk luhansk oblasts, so there are already such legal rules here, and we know that in russia, it does not matter in principle, as you correctly said ah to observe some kind of legality there, and everything is decided by one person - this is mr. putin, but for the sake of formality, for the formalized consideration of these issues, i also think the same thing, well, we need to annex something, then we cannot annex , for example, a part of the krasnolymansk district, we let's find out how it will sound, yes, and that's why we need it. the same kherson region, zaporizhzhia region too, if we're talking about the south. well, of course, we need the full territory of the donetsk

luhansk regions, because that's according to the constitution. the moment you said about legal colleagues, i remembered the words of pushylin, the so -called leader of the so-called dnr. he said that we are ready to hold a referendum when russian troops seize the donetsk luhansk region and the inclusion of a referendum on the inclusion of these regions in the russian federation, and in this case putin is already commenting that if these territories become part of the russian federation, they can initiate hostilities in a different way and use different weapons, since they are already well, it seems, they are not conducting a military operation, but are defending their territories, that is understanding what the difference is. what do you think? well, then it can simply be announced that full mobilization throughout the whole area will already be considered by the kremlin as military aggression against the russian federation. that's why i don't think. by the way,

nuclear weapons will be used there. because putin understands the consequences of the same step, but, so to speak, it's more a mobilization of the russians. well, it's possible. especially since we see what's wrong with the resources. already signed yes, contract service is taken until the age of 65 well, it’s already grandfathers are going to serve yes and this says that there are not enough resources already listen really we need to hold out for at least a month until these uh-uh and the system has already been fired let’s talk about it anyway still about mobilization, but not in russia, but in the so-called dpr ln , because in these areas, which we have just mentioned, where the fiercest battles are taking place, these mobilized people, i don’t know what to call them, were simply recruited on the streets of donetsk or luhansk

people and threw them into such a hell, let's talk about it first, ah, you have also seen that there is a lot about this matter . what do you know about it it can there will be such and such an internal explosion will happen in them or not social well, i don't believe an internal explosion because the territory of ordlo is completely controlled by the military and now there are a lot of military uh, it's obvious that it's the russians and in donetsk luhansk it's visually visible, they tell me that's why any social explosion there will simply be suppressed by military means, and we must not forget that in the same horde, in addition to these mobilized ones, even before the war, that is, until the 24th, meaning before the great war, yes a was two army corps, so-called. and these are almost 30,000

military men who spent eight years learning to worry, have experience, and now they also take part in hostilities, that's why they are mobilized, of course, they are used well, as cannon fodder they say it is open because they are simply sent to the front line in front of the russians, and ours open fire, the russians see where the fire is coming from and take measures to defeat our fire fighting positions. everyone understands this, but they say that there is something something can change in this the plan is, well, listen, well, it’s really here, nadia. i think she’s some kind of sheep. excuse me, well , they know that they will just be killed, and they

are thrown precisely in order to kill them. why don't they run away ? why don't they put up a resistance themselves? or do they simply have no will to live? no, they just don't have a choice. in other words, those who can hide and they hide are the ones who run away, but if you've already been caught and sent to the front, then there aren't many of them. of choice you are dying or you are fighting, what is it, what is it, what can you do with a knife, even if you try to surrender, although it is difficult when you have the kdks or russians behind you. they lived and hoped that they had avoided the war in fact, and they had joined russia or something like that, but now it turned out that they were victims of the russian peace of darusi, because it uses them simply as cannon fodder
