too one life you save the whole world warriors will definitely return with victory here is my place glory to the heroes glory to the heroines let's intercept let's outplay let's win what you are not news, together we are strong socially, this hour continues and andriy digtyarenko works with you, we are talking again about what happened just a few minutes ago, ukraine received the status of a candidate for eu membership, and we will talk about this with natalia forsyuk, she is the director general of the government office for the coordination of european and euro-atlantic integration, natalia, i congratulate you, and i still wanted to understand in detail what opportunities the candidate status opens up for our country, what it gives, congratulations, and congratulations everyone, on this fateful day, here we are. we received

a few minutes ago a positive vote from 27 member states regarding the application. this opens up for us, first of all, the legal consolidation of our european future. this is not a promise, but a set of bureaucratic procedures that, if followed, will lead to full membership, and secondly, it gives us e-e access to the structural funds of the eu, which is very important now because these are financial instruments that are available only to candidate countries and are not available e-e to other countries that are provided not only on the terms of a loan, but on more favorable terms, in fact, almost free of charge, and the most important thing for today. i think that this gives us the opportunity to have a stronger position in

our peace negotiations, which we hope will take place soon, and our position is already lacking this moment is completely different, but the most important thing is that the status of a candidate gives the opportunity to obtain the status of a member of the european union in the future. do you think that for our country, ukraine can become an obstacle i don't see absolutely any obstacles , it will be a long bureaucratic procedure in any case, because there are certain stages that we need to go through, first of all, it is to fulfill the recommendations indicated in the conclusion of the european commission, which was positive, but uh, it set us certain conditions, in particular regarding the completion of our anti-corruption reform, the amendment of the law on anti-liga, the

anti-oligarchic law, we will talk about the influence of oligarchs on the economy and other important sectors of our life, the appointment of judges of the constitutional court, strengthening the connection between investigations and verdicts, anti-cows , the independence of the regulator in the media and national minorities conditionally say on all of them, we have very good progress, they just need to be completed, it's not that we need to start all over again, that's why a decision was made to the opening of the negotiation procedures but it will not be before next year because these executions will be done in december and the negotiation procedures are usually something that lasts for several years, each of the 30 five chapters

is opened separately and closed beforehand a new procedure is being opened and it took a long time in itself. in parallel with that, we will have to fully implement all eu legislation, because it must become an integral part of the legislation of ukraine at the time of membership. this is also a very big job, because this legislation is even broader than what it currently provides day, our agreement on association natalia, but in parallel with these processes in our country, in our country unfortunately, a bloody war is going on and it is probably difficult to fulfill all these gradual e-e tasks in a timely manner what do you think e it is possible for a warring country to fulfill the conditions for membership in the european union, and what will be the most difficult. it is precisely because of the war that we will be able to cope with the war and the situation in which we

are. of course, this war will not allow us to implement all the legislation in accordance with by eu legislation and due to security issues, it is clear and due to legal reasons. that is, we will have some transitional periods during these actions, but this is in no way connected with the recommendations of the european commission that they gave us today the most difficult thing will probably be to strengthen our procedural procedures in such a way that anti-corruption investigations are more effective in terms of the sentences handed down by the court on the basis of these investigations, because our court is established independently, it is not possible to pressure, accordingly, the procedures have to be so specified

, detailed and, uh, even more uh, thoroughly worked out for the gaps that need to be eliminated, and this is probably a more virtuosic work that we will have to do, that is, actually knit it all, well, you said, let's talk about the so-called miles stones, let's talk about what the eu will consider in december, to what extent ukraine coped with the tasks we set before ourselves, we can say so and so and so and so, ukraine's chances for 2022 will be asked directly from you to obtain the status of a member of the eu already next year what do you think , i think that no, it is simply impossible procedurally, not because ukraine will not cope, because in order to open negotiations, the countries need to vote in the same way as today, and they also meet every day, and for this there must be a complete

legislation is implemented. that is, it is then angular, in your opinion. when will we be able to procedurally, if everything is normal, still get this status of a member of the european union? well, look at the analysis , conditionally speaking, yes, 7 years. can last for decades and in our that it will last for ten years but before this time it is very unlikely because of the huge amount of legislation that we need not only to adopt but to implement in our everyday life, that is, we fully according to the laws of europe and economically and politically and judicially and in all spheres of our life we ​​have to be responsible. that is, it cannot happen in a

year, then thank you very much natalya, we are setting our clocks for 2029, we are doing everything as if just in this period we were already able to find themselves in the family of the great european union. it was nataliya forsyuk , director general of the government office for the coordination of european and euro-atlantic integration after the dignity of ukraine signed the association agreement with the european union, then it was a step towards the increase of economic cooperation and the implementation of a number of reforms in the judicial sphere, education, science, the course of decentralization of local self-government bodies was also strengthened, and the turning point there was the introduction of a visa-free regime between ukraine and the eu in 2017. one of the main conditions for granting our country a visa-free regime was the institution of anti-corruption what prospects does the application offer to ukraine , which is not the eu? we will continue to discuss this topic and ask what andrius kubilius thinks. he is a

member of the european parliament. he is in touch with us. understands the russian language, so i have to switch to it. good afternoon, andrews, and we only talked about it in the last half hour. ukraine will be able to successfully move along the track to membership well, first of all, i want to congratulate ukraine and the citizens of ukraine and the leadership of ukraine very heartily, with a big smile , for what you managed to achieve, because three months ago, when you, er, applied for er, candidate status, well, there were a lot of such er, er,

thinking, what can it be in a non-state, heroic defense of your country, but you are changing the entire european union very much , and in this i see a very big the meaning of today's day is because ukraine's membership in the yaroshevsky union is necessary not only for ukraine, as you understand. well, this membership is very necessary for the entire european union. eh, i negotiated all night venstva and then the process of integration, that is, we can become much more pensionable and much faster than what we have seen in the last

decades in the integration of the western balkans. i think that europe realized that it made a big mistake that after maidan a after the evolution of the maidan , she was unable to give a clearer perspective in ukraine and left ukraine. well, i would say so in such a geopolitical gray zone. and this, uh, just might be influenced by putin's engagement in chats of greece against ukraine, you think that this is the west, how would eh e they leave ukraine as the territory of russia's interests , of course it was very big and a crazy mistake, but uh, on the other hand, uh, europe must take the power of the conclusions too, and that's what europe didn't give uh, to ukraine, such a box of political prospects after the

maidan revolution. well, how would ask er not to provoke as it was said that in some capitals of putin it was in the window and just er strongly as i think the political strategy of the european union and in relation to ukraine er is just born today and i think that's why what er such the practical, uh, the opposite process of expansion, it can become a reality. and then we can really talk about the future membership of ukraine, not in some 10 years. i want to ask you an important question in a few years, and maybe it will slightly shade someone's optimism we all arrive after such good news, there is a lot of talk about the fact that in european countries they can

start to get away from ukraine, after all, the topic of ukraine is the topic of the war, uh, it's been a long time, it's been on the agenda for a few months, here's the next one the european prospects of ukraine are not, uh, can they be ignored because of the fact that in europe there will be more and more voices of those who will say, well, how much war is possible? yes, somewhere there, the northeast is far away, and there are a lot of ukrainians, and they can flock here . and here are these ukrainian skeptical voices, how strong can they be in europe after this decision of the day well, first of all, i think that in europe there is a much clearer misunderstanding of what is authoritarian russia according to the sound of putin is the biggest storm for peace and stability in the entire european continent , including in the southern countries of the european union

, so after the start of the war, we saw a very bright change in public dress. this voice supports both the armament of ukraine and the sanctions for russia and the ministry of ukraine up plus because citizens understand very simply the success of ukraine both as a war and in the establishment of ukraine and its members of the european union may just return eh to europe and the prospects for a longer temporary peace because the success of ukraine can become a very strong factor that will change and help transform

russia itself into a democratic country. eu members, if not for this bloody terrible war, ukraine gets this status not because it is some kind of gift for the struggling and suffering ukraine but because europe has begun to understand its mistakes yes the ones that may have led to this war are therefore returning to europe for a politician and this is an initiative of ukraine with you. thank you very much. this was fandreus fobilius , a member of the european parliament. we are discussing ukraine with you, we just talked with the experts about how many steps we still need to take in order to acquire the status of a member of the european union. please tell the

office of the president of ukraine what the first steps are want to do right now. during this war, what needs to be done, what needs to be done, tell me about it, please. well, in fact, all the steps are known, even the seven recommendations that were submitted to the european commission, they are not news, er, any new reform or some new task, are you there? you will not find, just as you will not find any recommendation where ukraine is at zero war, literally in the near future, the president of ukraine will convene a meeting with the participation of the government of ukraine, the verkhovna rada of ukraine, where he will clearly set the task as for the road map for the implementation of those seven recommendations that the european commission is sure to make, and for the rest of the way on the way to the arrest and task what will the members do today, the start has begun today, the start of our e-e countdown e-e path to

eu membership has begun. we are at the first starting official stage there is still a lot of work ahead. there is still a difficult road ahead, but each step, let's say so, the gap must be drawn and the laws that need to be adopted and discussed regarding migration from the current year to the next two years and so on. we have laws kharkiv, what are they, the cabinet of ministers, and so on. therefore, everything is clearly laid out. there is a working group on european integration in our country on the restoration of ukraine. february, when it was the president of ukraine who once signed to the leadership of the european union and the presiding france regarding the application for membership will come from the president of ukraine and i am sure that thanks to the dignity of all branches of power, e.e. executive powers of the legislature, we must also complete, for example, the judicial reform for us. i

think it is not for nothing that you focused our attention on the judicial reform. i wanted to ask about what in your opinion . one point from those that we have to carry out is the judicial reform, what are the anti-corruption investigations of the legislation, what do you think is the case, i will emphasize once again. there are no weak links, there are no unfulfilled tasks . by states and members regularly, especially this president of ukraine with the leadership of the european union, always start by approving the progress of ukraine in the anti-corruption reform, the progress of the functioning of those constitutions that exist even during the war, even the most systematic countries at a certain stage, like, well, complain about it that it was denmark for example sweden i was personally in denmark for an hour and a half i answered questions about the

anti-corruption reform of the audience facts how it works even during the war how an investigation is being conducted regarding commercial matters, and matters are being referred to the court and so on. and this was accepted and we see that the position of denmark, uh, was clearly written, just like the position of sweden, just this week in the parliament, the minute the president signed, for example, the law on the ratification of the istanbul convection, it was also is included in the european integration of ukraine, we will do something every day, literally every day, not only in the same areas that are mentioned in the recommendation of the commission, what we need to influence is in us on the table, this is, in principle, the work being done, it is very nice to hear it, first of all, secondly, i still want to personally congratulate you on this decision, it is our joint achievement, so to speak, and we are waiting for this upcoming meeting and the consequences that igor said about zhovkva, deputy head of the office of the

president of ukraine how at this meeting of the president should further steps be drawn up regarding the implementation of all the tasks that we received from the european union, and we now include dmytro kuleb, minister of foreign affairs of ukraine , in our conversation dmytro, i congratulate you on our achievement, and i can’t help but ask how much nerve, blood, sweat, and tears did it cost ukraine to get the status of a candidate for eu membership? tears and offered war, endless hours of negotiations, but the result is and to thank everyone, in fact, both in the government and in civil society, those who believed forward , who spoke with one voice in order to get

such a result today. we did it together as country. this is our result. four months ago, we didn't even have a european perspective, and someone once said, let's become candidates right away, not by chance, then the answer would be, you'd already be free, then they'd be there, there's a procedure, there's no concept, i'll tell you that a week ago everything was quite hoarsely , but they pushed, tightened, convinced, and today a new era began, it is called very briefly ukraine - this is europe, after all, i want to ask you how it turned out that in the last week, after all, it was possible to squeeze which ones exactly tell us where they led for this and with which countries it was the most difficult. i think we can already talk about it. the list of skeptics was well

known for a long time. it was the netherlands and denmark, sweden , portugal. they all had certain visions. germany was in this camp, it should be noted that a very important role played by the president of france, emmanuel macron, and i paid attention to what was decided during the presidency of france and the distance, and it was a principled position to do it right now, well, and i’ll be honest, the visit was a turning point four european leaders to kyiv last week, last thursday, their conversation with the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi, i can reveal what

is called behind the scenes as of friday. uh, there is still a final version of this river if this document of the european commission did not exist it was very fragile very delicate very such a fragile process but everything everything succeeded everything is great late night i think that each country deserved a glass of champagne. and tomorrow we will return to the fight seriously. i even envy those ukrainians who can now come home to rest with us. there are still almost 5 hours of air time ahead of us, but i am also glad that we can discuss this very happy news and i want you too and how in minister of foreign affairs and what will change in your department and in your work now nothing? we will leave tomorrow and continue to fight for weapons for ukraine for new sanctions from the european union for financial

support, we will do our work here a large diplomatic team headed by the president of ukraine volodymyr, we all work harmoniously and no one has canceled the tasks er today is a victory but we have a very short time for him to celebrate because er then work will immediately begin for us politically and for me as a minister very important now very important is now one e-e process the fact is that in the european union the process of reforms of the european union will now unfold and we as the ministry of foreign affairs will make every effort to ensure that the interests of ukraine as a future member of the eu were taken into account as much as possible in those changes and those reforms that will be implemented by the european union in the coming years within itself, that is, to reform the procedures to reform the mechanisms of

its functioning, this is a big mega-project of a political nature, and in parallel my colleagues from other ministries will work on the implementation of european legislation in their spheres, the parliament will work on the adoption of legislation, the vice-prime minister for european integration will coordinate the activities of bodies in the e-e of ukraine authorities in order for us to get as close as possible to the european legislation, implement the necessary reforms, the president will control all this and set tasks, that is, the machine continues to function, but there is this new element related to the eu reform, in which it is extremely important to take into account our interests, which we will deal with as by the foreign political department but it is interesting that we can talk in a little more detail about this reform of the european union. this is what we are talking about. and how it can affect the situation in our country, in particular, the russian-ukrainian one

war, well, i joked with my colleagues from the european union that ukraine would sooner implement all the reforms you expect from it than you would your own reform because, unlike the european union, in ukraine no one has the right to veto to ban, do you understand the transformation, instead, there is the political will of the president, there is the political will of the government to implement these changes in the european union, and the right of veto applies to the adoption of key decisions, and this will actually be the main challenge, how to find a balance to move from the adoption of some decisions by consensus to the decisions of the majority is the biggest challenge facing european reformers, there is the question of the functioning of the bureaucratic machine of the european union, there are

many complaints that it is too heavy and inflexible , they will also work on this, there is such a banal question now every country a member of the european union has the right for the european commission to have its own commissioner, this leads to the fact that there is a constant segmentation of the functional to the detriment of efficiency, but for the sake of taking into account all everyone's interests are therefore new. the question is if there will be new members, the principle of formation of the european commission must be changed. there are many such things in the european union, a wonderful institution, well done, especially today, but they admit that by their own admission they need to implement many important reforms in order to function effectively further. by the way, i just spoke with a member of the european parliament andryus kubylyus he talked about this and said that this is a very important step for the european union as well
