had little place before the war, but hmm, such a war that has started now, we did not have, part of the parishioners visited churches in neighboring villages or kyiv, where a large part of the residents work since the 10th year, i met father vasyl and was an initiative group to help build and was the headman of this community for 8 years. we never quarreled or cursed , and he also knew my position. when our orthodox church of ukraine received the tomos, we told them that we were listening here to the meeting desk, and it er, if the liturgy turns into an agitation, we will not go here. the question of the subordination of the church became relevant with the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia on the territory of ukraine. they came to the priest again with a proposal to transfer to the church itself

the abbot stated that the representatives of the teroborona threatened him, we had a meeting on april 9, at which the congregation met impromptu for the first time, and father vasyl deserved it, they asked him if he was ready to transfer, and father vasyl once again repeated this rhetoric that the boys came to him and the boys came and apologized, they say father, we were under arms because we were performing our duties as a territorial defense and this incident was settled then, we were surprised to see an article in the edition of the orthodox orthodox union of journalists, where father vasyl again says that he was threatened, also the abbot of the church emphasized that in may of this year, the uoc mp severed religious relations with the moscow center. on may 27, a cathedral of the ukrainian orthodox church was held in kyiv for theophany, which repealed the changes to the statute of the

ukrainian orthodox church, where all those small let's say prayer ties, there are some such formal ties that were with the narrow orthodox church, they were from there. well, how is it correct to say withdrawal. however, in the opinion of the community, this step has been taken late on june 18, a general meeting was held regarding the change in the affiliation of the church, of the half a thousand residents officially registered in the village, almost two hundred people came to the meeting, 172 of them took part in the vote, 171 residents voted for the community's entry into the orthodox church of ukraine, we are registering our religious organization we are registering the statute we are conducting state registration well and next we will be determined by the situation that will develop with i understand already with the premises of the

church itself because we are currently conducting worship in the open air or here at the stadium or near the church, according to religious scholar andrii kovalev, only the community can decide the fate of the religious temple if the majority of the community's votes make a decision to leave the spiritual captivity of the moscow patriarchate, the community has every right to do so and, accordingly, it all has be formalized in a protocol, this protocol must be submitted to the state authorities, and the state authorities are simply obliged to confirm the will of the community within 100 days of a full-scale invasion of the russian more than 600 communities of the federation from the uoc of the moscow patriarchate to the orthodox church of ukraine will officially grant ukraine and moldova the status of a candidate for accession, the president of the european council, charles-michel, said this, he called this decision decisive for the eu, the

leaders of the european union will start in brussels. we expect that in the evening, in addition, eu leaders will discuss the military financial support of our country, as well as food security due to russia's blockade of ports in the black sea in the government they say that our country plans to fulfill all the conditions for acquiring a candidate by the end of this year . building a sustainable competitive economy, today we are talking about the actual hundreds of billions of euros that will become available to us after receiving this status, my intention is that we provide a candidate entry status for ukraine and moldova, of course they still

european union is being determined. expert on bilateral relations between ukraine and the eu, representatives of the ukrainian victory international center and serhii gerasymchuk, deputy executive director, director of the program of regional investigative initiatives of the council of foreign affairs ukrainian politicians prisma is in touch with us via skype, congratulations, dear. good day. good day. we hear and see you. let's actually start with the fact that the two-day summit of eu leaders is starting today in brussels, at which the heads of state and governments of the european union are expected to provide ukraine has the status of a candidate for membership, well, at least we expect this after the positive decision of the european commission on june 17th, and let's figure out what to expect today, the summit will officially begin at 4:00 p.m.

kiev, will there be a decision today or should we expect it tomorrow, what will it be like, let's start with maria golub, please, ms. maria, well, in general, yes, we expect a decision today, or at most tomorrow , because the jenda of the leaders of the member states of the european union is quite so broad, but ukrainian this issue, i would say, is a priority and accordingly it is planned to be considered one of the first, accordingly, i really hope that in the next few hours, because right now and this moment when history is being made, we will receive a positive answer now the council of the european union has already given a unanimous positive answer regarding granting us the status of a candidate for joining the european union and we will celebrate this day today, mr. serhiy . what forecasts do you have, what expectations do you have, share

your thoughts about what actually means what actually means for ukraine this two-day summit of the council of europe, i ask you to speak. thank you. well, actually, i can only agree, mrs. mayor's office, the probability that we will receive a decision in the near future is very high , and it has significantly increased after the visit to of the president of ukraine, macron, chancellor schultz and the prime minister of draga, who unequivocally said that they support ukraine on its european path to candidacy, and in addition, the fact that they were accompanied by the president of romania is also a slightly underestimated moment, in fact, this is a visit that they have been waiting for for five years, he was planned in the 17th and it was postponed in connection with the contradictions regarding education in the languages ​​of national minorities, but romania demonstrated that such small contradictions cannot be an obstacle and this actually became an impetus for all other countries

to join this opinion, the data and sweden revised their positions, even the netherlands, which was the strongest nut, which had the most critical comments, agreed that ukraine should be granted candidate status, this opens up new opportunities, firstly, this is a historical fact, because it opens up a perspective for ukraine membership , because until now the prospect was not even mentioned, now it is already about candidacy , a status that is higher than the mere prospect of membership . acceleration of our reforms, and on the other hand, we have the right to move to additional instruments, in particular to the so-called ipa instruments under action , the so-called accession funds, that is, the european union will not only demand reforms, but also help us with them, nevertheless, this is a huge success things really and uh, you can't simply overestimate it, on the other hand, we also talked about it yesterday, about the fact that

ukraine will receive this status to a certain extent, so to speak, in advance. that is, in many ways, it is like this. well, let's say that there were no analogues before that actually such a provision and what will it mean for us here are the seven points in particular that were also made public how quickly ukraine should fulfill them if their and whether their non-fulfillment what will mean again for ukraine is this well here this moment let's try to discuss and applications from ukraine are also possible. yes, it is really unprecedented in terms of how quickly the european side reacted . commission in the shortest possible time, it did not

come as a surprise to us that the european commission will recommend granting ukraine the status of a candidate along with a certain list of requirements, as our dutch colleagues, who congratulated us today, called it, including the fact that we changed the position of mr. prime minister people, they called it a smart compromise, that is, such a smart compromise, because there were certain fears that we would first be offered to fulfill a certain list of e-e requirements of the tasks and then they would grant the status of a candidate, if carefully look at these seven points. i really want everything to be clearly stated. these are the reforms and changes that ukraine needs first of all, that is, even without reference to our further progress in european integration reforms and on the european integration path. these are the changes that are needed.

ukraine needs them as what concerns the strengthening of the anti- corruption reform and the appointment of key e-e heads of key anti-corruption e-e departments i mean now nabu and the same applies to the field of audiovisual services and even financial system so what is it? they have clearly prescribed that we must meet the requirements and standards of the fat - this is also very much in the interests of ukraine, so we expect that this very political will will be more present and we will be able to move forward very quickly in fulfilling these requirements. as far as i know, we are now waiting for a certain action plan from president zelensky on monday, which will publish a friendly map on the performance of these graduates, and what is more important, it is worth noting that the european side will carefully monitor

ukraine's fulfillment of these priorities and will publish its report at the end of 2020 as part of this annual report that the european union and the european commission publish on the issues of its enlargement, accordingly, it is in our interests to continue the free, continuing to win this war on the battlefield, and also to continue on the integration front and fulfill our association agreement, and here are these evaluations of quite specific, clear points, the same will be expressed on this matter, i will add a little more. well, first of all, i would say whether do you agree with the fact that this is after all a political decision in the first place, and therefore, for now? well, i would like to figuratively say that we have to thank valery, the valiant armed forces of ukraine, all those who are now showing great successes of the ukrainian army and those who have put in fact, including in this war, thanks to them , in fact, it seems to me that today we received this

unprecedented decision, but regarding political will . let's formulate it as a question and let's forward it to serhiy gerasimchuk, and then regarding political will, let's return to this aspect, here we'll just put three dots, so serhii, as of now, there are two positions, what andriy said, it's very important and actually here such thoughts were heard in the information space of this day and age. prime minister of georgia iraklia hrebeshvili says that ukraine will receive the status of a candidate only because of the war. the commission on june 17 has a different position, the position of the representative of diplomacy, the bank admissions officer, the head of the office of the president of ukraine zhovkva, who actually mentioned it, and now all the media are writing fresh

material about it, so the diplomat explains that this is actually the merit of ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyi who made a number of speeches in the parliaments of european countries, and ukrainian diplomats also traveled, persuaded, convinced, and managed to convince the most powerful ukrainian skeptics that ukraine will carry out these reforms and even show exactly how this will happen. well, in addition, zhovkva says, we have to thank the ukrainians, who are currently in various eu countries and, together with the societies of these countries, are putting pressure on politicians, so who should we thank for the decision that is expected very soon as it has been drafted, the draft of this decision has already been published, well , that is, we are still waiting for positive news, and who to thank?
