i would like to remind you, proposed to the cabinet of ministers to review the regime of entry of russian citizens into the territory of ukraine and today, june 17, the cabinet of ministers adopted the resolution introducing the visa regime for citizens of the russian federation in accordance with the proposed and planned decision, the visa regime will come into effect on july 1, 2022, and a little later , the head of the president's office, andriy yarmak, announced that the cabinet of ministers made a decision on the introduction of the visa regime, and today the president began the process of implementing it regime, and the cabinet of ministers makes the appropriate decision and interprets it, orienting us to specific dates. obtaining a ukrainian visa was so public well , just so we know who wants to enter who has received a visa, for example, this would help a lot in terms of understanding

between the authorities and society, there is another no less important piece of news, our special services did a good job and uncovered a whole network of various worked for the russians, in particular, adjusting rocket artillery fire, now you can read the details in kyiv, kharkiv, odesa, zaporizhzhia, and also in the dnipropetrovsk and vinnytsia regions, 19 agents of borov were detained, they were corrected missile attacks on ukrainian cities and scouted the positions of units of the armed forces of ukraine, and also collected information about the places of detention of russian prisoners of war, in addition, they were engaged in the selection of members of the national resistance who secretly oppose the invaders in the temporarily occupied territories of southern ukraine, according to the investigation of the enemy, the group was led by an agent the fsb, which was in one of the districts of the kherson region, and of course handed everything over to the enemy, found 19 people

in the hands of our valiant defenders. let's wait for their number to double because somehow it's still the 19th, it's possible that it's not enough . well, let's go further anyway, 22 minutes to the second, that's for sure, and the news that you made public is the most important thing that could happen, it's very important in view of and on the fact that the final decision will be made on the 20th of june, but the recommendations from the european commission are such a decisive event and today it happened to us, it also happened to moldova and georgia . ursula von derlein actually reads out the decision of the european commission with a recommendation, the european commission

for ukraine has already been approved if we have the opportunity. the new europe i hope mrs. marianna is already with us, well, of course i would like to start, that is, there are two stories, one story - this is the visit of macron scholz , the president of romania, yoganis, and accordingly, mario drags to kyiv, and accordingly it was announced here today, the decision of the european commission is advisory. what do you think about what was not a public discussion, because divelt has already blown our minds a little, so to speak. from the side of the leaders of european states

, first of all, the visit became such an important political signal of support for ukraine, and secondly, it became extremely important for ukraine this call from the leaders of the european countries to give ukraine the status of a candidate immediately without any preconditions ah and ah thirdly this is still an assurance that the european leaders will not put pressure on ukraine and will not push to ukraine making concessions to russia, the leaders of european states have publicly stated this , so we can consider it a victory, and as we can see, the conclusion of the european commission on the recommendation to grant ukraine the status of a candidate also further strengthens us in hoping for confidence that after all yes, on june 23-24, a-a, ukraine does get the status

officially, if we talk about uh, another issue, in particular, the provision of weapons to ukraine, then we can say that a breakthrough did not happen, so the president of france, manuel macron, uh, publicly announced that after all among the police countries, there is a decision not to provide ukraine with attack aircraft and tanks, therefore , from the point of view of political signals regarding the european future of ukraine, it can be considered that the visit was extremely positive for ukraine, but as far as a more thorough military of support, here again, hmm, a breakthrough or some new 5 kopecks, that is, in fact, president macron. dear tv viewers, the attention of the german chancellor

olaf schol, you understand, who once again simply openly lied, promising that it is unknown that we have only heard olaf in the last 100 days, what is it that promised to provide it turns out that there was already a previous , so to speak, unofficial agreement that tanks would not be given to us, and aviation would not be given to us. but i think it has been obvious to all ukrainians for a long time that the german chancellor's promises are some kind of military equipment, we don't know what kind of equipment it is and who it is for, but if we compare this with yesterday's visit by the german chancellor, it certainly gives us i have some hope, but for now, you know , these are non-verbal signals. i would say. well, on the other hand, there is also the question of what

the status of a candidate for membership of the european union can bring us, so to speak, in the tangible equivalent of this. that is, because, on the one hand, i want to repeat the phrase of our immortal political classics when they said something about the fact that you can’t spread bread there , but as far as i understand, what concerns this status, it can be translated into some billions of gods to a country that will receive the status of an official of the candidate for membership, will there be access to these financial resources of the eu in almost the same way, and it gives access to the financial instruments of the eu for the candidate countries, in particular it is about the instrument before the entry support - this is a whole background from which country can the candidates raise funds for reforms or in the case of ukraine, how

can it be for the reconstruction of the country, so here we can talk about the fact that for ukraine the status of a candidate will be a tangible step, besides, experience countries that joined the eu in the 2000s shows that after receiving the candidate status, after the start of this process of integration into the eu, the inflow of direct foreign investments in these countries increased, and in ukraine we can talk about this and expect only stands already after the end of those actions after the end of the war but nevertheless, getting this european perspective is very important for uh investors who see uh in the country of the candidates already a safe place for investments because now eurosceptics or i i don’t know, but our

adepts of treason inside the country will notice for investors that our status as a candidate for the eu means more. we are not talking about ukraine now. we are talking about the skin of some unkilled bear. well, the case of ukraine is really unique due to the fact that there is a war going on in our country, when we will receive the status of a candidate, so we can expect investment at the end after the end of hostilities, but then knowing that ukraine has the status of a candidate that this country will implement the best european practices in terms of business culture and so on, and investors will have more reasons to invest in the country, and for ukraine it will certainly be positive what
