shows a lot of complaints that it is too heavy and not flexible, uh, they will also work on this, there is such a banal question now, every country - a member of the european union has the right to have its own commissioner of the european commission, this leads to what is constantly happening there functional segmentation to the detriment of efficiency, but for the sake of taking into account everyone's interests, that's why there is a new question. if there are new members, the principle of formation of the european commission needs to be changed. there are a lot of such things in the european union, a wonderful institution of milk especially today, but they admit that by their own admission they need to implement a lot of important reforms in order to function effectively in the future. by the way, we just spoke with the member of the european parliament andrus kubylus . a new impetus, a

new spirit, so to speak, which leads to the improvement of all these institutions, i wanted to ask an important thing, and i spoke with mr. klubi lis about this , whether fatigue is felt now on the subject of ukraine in europe, because several months of the war have already passed and how much can it complicate your work? well, we are from ukraine and here is a whole holiday from ukraine. look at you. the head of the european council is tweeting his congratulations . always said before this now and he has always never had any problem with that from ukraine, there is not and will not be this russian narrative imposed on us in order to emphasize our lower value that from

someone over there drowned us, the european union today, in fact, demonstrated that it continues to determine the rules of the game on the european continent, not russia, not china, not just anyone . this energy , the ability to make historical decisions, pay attention to the western balkans, there it ended without a result, that is, the european countries of the european union did not agree among themselves, but regarding ukraine moldova's issues are extremely complex, they reached a consensus, of course. this instills in them a huge amount of faith in their ability to move europe forward, and it's extremely cool that we and you,

our generation, are part of this process today, ukraine has become stronger today, the european union has become stronger, but the main thing is that today europe has become stronger. thank you very much. it was dmytro kuleba , the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, and we also congratulate him on the fact that ukraine finally received this status as a candidate member of the eu - this is an important achievement and volodymyr zelenskyi by the way he addressed the participants of the eu summit after granting ukraine the status of a candidate for membership and let's listen to his speech we want to confirm that we say you and all eh political i am very powerful and we would like to hear the bases and hear your message and you you should know that we made this historic decision. thank you very much, charlie. i congratulate all of our friends, all the leaders - these are the leaders of friends of ukraine.

under such difficult conditions. when the russian war will test our ability to preserve freedom and unity, on the fifth day of russia's full-scale war against ukraine, we have submitted an application to join the of the european union, we provided answers to the questionnaire that we received from the european commission today extremely quickly and completely and qualitatively. a full member of the european union, and that is why at that time i appealed to each country of the european union and indicated at what stage we were, and as i believed in our relations, and today i want to tell each and every one of you personally what our people feel. i am sure of this and that in the same order

ukraine heard his country world remind me tonight ukraine acquired the status of a candidate member of the european union we will definitely return to this topic and now we are talking about other international events great britain today introduces new sanctions against russia they relate in particular to oil and currency restrictions, and vadym hrynko will tell you more about the new package of anti-russian sanctions from great britain,

including a ban on the export of aviation fuel, restrictions on the provision of technical assistance, financial and brokerage services related to the import of iron and steel." but the sanctions will affect the cheeks and why they were announced only now, we will ask andriy ostalskyi , he is a bbc journalist, he is currently in london and i am switching to russian because the guest understands

the expert, what can he do in this particular language and andriy tell me please know that london in russia was often called london city. many oligarchs hid their finances. great britain, and now the package of sanctions, to what extent will it affect the russian finances? - that's where the export of british pounds sterling to russia or the euro currency is also prohibited through great britain. well, jet fuel and it may be very important that there will be no nozzles or landing materials for the passat now supplied without them, it seems to russia that it will not be so easy to own jet

fuel . it's time for him to start worrying, but he thinks that with the help of propaganda, on the one hand, there will be something terrible, on the other hand, he will keep control of the early and even if she places it there several times . little people in the elections, it's a great thing, the card system, when it's already yours, will your children be hungry, decide today . the fact that putin's close entourage will definitely not starve and suffer; the removal of the card system, another question . it seems that economic sanctions, including british ones, primarily affect on the russian oligarchs on the moneybags that support the regime, here is it, will it help, will it help

to influence putin's inner circle and, as a result, start politically, so that this inner circle begins to put pressure on the president of the russian federation, and you know a little, but you can say that rhetoric of the people which he constantly expresses in the addresses of ukraine and other european countries, for example, such as 2 last time or not convinced that the oligarchs the so-called herzen crisis has such a big influence on putin when you had it, but now temporarily others are around him , the wealthy security forces and his close friends there, kovalchuk, the iratenbergs, she seems to have the rest of them in general, and they don’t care, secondly, it seems to me that it’s very it was well thought out system of sanctions against the oligarchs. it was necessary. you know, it’s like a gradual pipe with pieces. it’s like a cat’s tail, as some people sometimes say .

interestingly, everything has already been taken away, you will not return it, you see, and now putin is saying yes, i warned you at the forum in st. petersburg. they don't have any dough energy, that's a surprising thing. but it's like that, that is, it's possible, and the west will be able to use the tactical practicality of this technique . i thought that these are strong, powerful, influential people with huge money in russia. they still have the remaining money to give power. i will ask you, just in parallel, we are showing the british prime minister boris johnson on our screens now, he is

quite popular in ukraine, and he is considered one of those politicians who, er, clearly convey about the ukrainian position in the west, how much is that ukraine's support helps boris johnson within britain in his political struggle with his opponents in the ranking of his party, well, in some world it helps again, this whole situation is changing and there are already very loud and strong voices in this country today, who generally called boris johnson a thimble, watch your hands he is pushing ukraine into you, into which he is so brilliant, it seems that he is acting so that you forget to think about what he has done and has done more, it can be strange inside, that is, the opposition is very strong what is the times newspaper it's not boris's newspaper, it's not a leftist liberal. there's no one, but in the leftist liberal camp , they just hate him so much that even i myself have some personal disputes with

my little friends, whom i love very much. yes, yes, you are probably absolutely right about johnson within the country, i would have been with you, but now i had to do much more important things, because you said about the ukrainian position . justice and goodness. sorry for the platitudes , but the west, which is under a huge threat from the country of putin's aggression. this is aggression against the entire literal democratic system of the world. it becomes something small, it would be a general er note that if we are on the side, this is obligatory , everything will also be asked today, a big event for ukraine, our country received the status of a candidate with a member of the european union, it is known that britain went through the brexit procedure, on the contrary, it left the

european union, as in britain, first of all, and the establishment, regardless of party position, although it can be important if this is so, please tell me about the prospects of the european membership of ukraine and how actively your media covers this process well, i wouldn't say that this is super news , although it certainly hasn't appeared in all countries yet, and it will be tomorrow, the newspaper, without a doubt, can do that where even on the front pages, but at the same time there are disagreements, after all, the divided country of britain has always been taken away from eh, this is who voted, will deliberately represent what many and unconsciously only do not understand what is being done, they did it, but they are consciously brexiteers they do not take this news with pleasure, they almost not a mistake on the part of ukraine, they believe that it is connected with the european union, they have their own arguments there, they recall here, uh

, some spinelessness, as they think, at least manifested there and great britain is being made into a scholz with mahronas . but the european union has just shown its moral and political bankruptcy. the truth is that this is true, although i would not talk like that about water issues. so that the question is the same in the european union, they are the other way around - it's like these events, in the face of their opponents, they say in april that ukraine understands how important unity is for western european democrats rushing to join the european union, and he goes precisely to the meeting despite what are the difficulties? and we are turning into some kind of provincialism. they are turning away from this unity. just at the moment of the most disappointing

news from the european front, in ukraine, talks about a possible alliance of the allies of the countries that most supported ukraine both militarily and in ukraine intensified from a humanitarian point of view, great britain naturally belongs to countries such as the baltic countries, poland, they even talked about something unique in the military, and informally, there is no doubt that it would exist in parallel with nato, but again, this is our perspective, the perspective of ukraine is similar do they talk about similar things at all in britain, and how does it relate to the idea of ​​a more testable alliance with eastern europe, which is now at the forefront and in fact, how does the shield cover europe? russian aggression, well, they say of course, and again

they say different things again. in general, the union can be a gift of their unity created by this alternative block, in fact, of course, the second half of the british people will tell you that this is not at all what is needed, it is an instrument of the collapse of the european union, it is necessary will strengthen unity on the topic of forces and in the description itself without cooperation on specific issues to help ukraine more there from poland and the strange baltic, there is nothing wrong with this, it is fine, but this is on the condition that it will not be some kind of alternative to the european union and started that you you understand that political rivalry will begin, there will be pressure from within the european union on poland and the baltics too, this is not at all what is needed, it is only necessary for putin, you understand more, thank you very much thank you very much this was andriy stassky zhenis bbc spoke with him not only about the new package of sanctions introduced by britain against the

russian federation, but also about the fact that despite the different polar opinions within britain regarding many political issues, this country remains very clear and firm in its support of our country of ukraine, let's now talk about what is happening inside our country, because a lot of time has already been devoted to foreign policy issues, a hearing is taking place in the lviv court in the case of viktor medvedchuk, who is accused of treason and looting of national values, the preliminary hearing is taking place in the lychakiv district court, viktor medvedchuk is facing up to 15 years in prison, all sites will hold hearings, these hearings will be held in closed session, and how this case develops and whether we can expect a full sentence, we can only find out from experts about we will talk with serhii leshchenko, he is a freelance adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine .

i can't comment on court decisions. i simply don't know the motivation why they make such decisions. it's understandable . will you be able to answer it, because it also concerns the legal aspects of 15 years. this is probably one of the maximum sentences demanded by the investigative authorities, demanded by the prosecutor's office , but viktor medvedchuk is accused of many articles e or e can be considered such a sentence , the demands of such a sentence are fair, firstly, we do not have the right to comment on a movement that does not exist

, secondly, any of our comments regarding the request of the prosecutor's office can be perceived as pressure on the court, because the court that hears a certain assessment from the mouths of even freelance advisers, such as myself, may consider this as one or another influence on him, so i try not to comment on them, let's talk. what do we know now in general about what viktor medvedchuk is accused of, because this issue is being discussed we all remember the first internal ukrainian sanctions that were introduced by the security council of the defense of ukraine and you also actively commented on what we know now, let's just talk about it on the air because many of the viewers probably forgot what we were talking about everything is very simple , the indictment brought against him will be the introduction of articles on treason, this is one of the best crimes that exists and of course it is a crime. it has

very strict punishments according to the criminal code, so what concerns the episode and this look at medvedchuk's practical recognition of russia's jurisdiction over occupied crimea, that's why he was incriminated in such an article, and that's why the prosecutor's office is asking for such punishments. the hydrocarbon deposits that medvedchuk's families received in a rather opaque way would then try to legalize them already after the occupation of this peninsula together with the occupying authorities. crimea, do you know anything about when there will be further meetings and how long the consideration of this case will last? i do not work alone in the prosecutor's office or in court, so they can well, thank you very much. it was serhiy leshchenko, freelance adviser to the head of the office of the president of ukraine.

we 'll be back. we'll be back on this air in a few minutes. and worked day and night and saved many people, we live who were able to give battle to the stronger and in the disabled . we took the news, came, painted everything, bought minimal equipment and started working 200 and do their work, people are all grounded , work is important as never before, we will cut off
