candidate for the eu. an extremely important step of both countries and ukraine and moldova on the way to the eu and a historic moment in a moment we will restore the connection from brussels er-er it broke in us and we are restoring the connection for now let's say that well actually er-er extremely much actually positive reviews, characteristics that we see these days and from world leaders regarding the prospects for ukraine and the opportunities that the european council's decision opens up for us. what is in touch with us tetyana blinova tetyana, what did it look like

to make a historic decision for ukraine during the meeting of the council of europe in brussels ? yesterday was a historic historical event granting ukraine the status of a candidate for the eu, this decision was unanimously supported by all european leaders and it was burned on the basis of the recommendations of the european commission adopted on june 17 . and the candidacy of er-er is such a er-er is such a signal to the whole world that ukraine will advance precisely in the european

direction and the head of the booth denys myhal to naivnytskyi opportunities that opens up to the ukraine's obtaining this status, in particular, is access to financing that each member country receives for the further implementation of preparations directly for accession to the eu, and it is also a signal to investors and the continuation of reforms in the country, at the same time, in order to advance in this way, ukraine must fulfill all the requirements for further european integration require the fight against corruption to continue the reform of the judicial system and the constitutional court, as well as to bring a number of changes to the laws on medical resources and national minorities. and i note that the standard the procedure for joining the european union for candidate states can last from several years to

decades. however, the representative of the eu and foreign and security policy, jose borel, called the decision of the european council historic - this adds to optimism and, quoting him, we will immediately launch preparations for the european integration of ukraine in the european structure of the final membership in the eu, or added borel, the ukrainian people belong to the european family, and the future of ukraine is with the eu. andriyu maria, you have a word, what about tetyana, well, we can only ask about what is the most i guess everyone is interested in what the eu leaders are saying on the sidelines. when ukraine will be able to truly become a member of the european union, we know the set of requirements

. the country is going to war, then everyone understands that it is very difficult to carry out any reforms, and therefore by the end of the year, by the end of this year, ukraine must show some results, and after that the european commission will again provide its recommendations to work with ukraine in this direction, well, let's note such a moment that ukraine and moldova received the status together, but there are probably some differences in the vision of the european path of the two countries from the side of brussels. if you know what they consist of, then maybe a few words, let's say about it, then ukraine and moldova, are there still differences in the approaches to the vision of the development and future of the two countries, well, maria, so far it was about the fact that these

countries have done a lot in order to get this candidate status, uh, exactly with regard to georgia, which too was submitted to georgia and moldova were submitted on march 3rd, let me remind you that ukraine was submitted for this status on february 28, precisely at the time of the schedule of russian aggression, and it is moldova and ukraine that have shown such results, which are significant in the opinion of european leaders. er, there were more questions and so far this country was refused, so if i have any interesting information in the future, i will definitely inform you about it in the next inclusion. thank you , tatiana. well, we will be more detailed about it to communicate with the journalist, the head of the national congress of ukrainians of moldova in less than half an hour, so we will ask him in detail what is the difference between the conditions that ukraine and moldova received , and what is the difference in the approaches of brussels to these two countries and what is the positive that together we will receive

the status of e- candidate, not in particular, some experts, such as, for example, international expert serhiy sydorenko, say that this creates such an additional competitive vivacity of the race between the two countries, the only thing we would like is for the war to end in our country so that to compete fully, so what? thank you for our correspondence, tetyana blynova, actually journalists from the press from brussels joined our airwaves and right now, let's watch an information story from the espresso editorial office, yes, the story is actually about the fact that ukraine officially declared its intention to join the eu back in the 90s, well, but as i know, the process of european integration was mostly slow, although sometimes it accelerated, most often there were some political problems, a lack of reforms on the part of kyiv, but against the background

of military aggression, ukraine's movement towards the european union gained at an unprecedented pace, and the ukrainian authorities for the first time since the war demanded that the country be accepted into the european union as soon as possible. well, on february 28, president volodymyr zelenskyi signed an application for accession, which was officially handed over to brussels, and about ukraine's path to candidate status, which lasted for 18 long years, our correspondents, let's see the plot ukraine began its movement towards europe way back in 1993, then the representative office of the european commission was opened in kyiv, leonid kuchma came to power with pro-russian slogans and promised to introduce bilingualism, but he won the second election as a western president, the strategic course for integration into the eu was officially confirmed in 1998 and 2000. although there were no clear aspirations for the accession of ukraine under kuchma, the orange revolution at the end of 2004 improved our

european prospects. viktor yushchenko sought to deepen ties with in 2007, the eu began negotiations on the association agreement in 2008 on the visa-free action plan, and next year, kyiv joined the initiative. of the eastern partnership, the eu instrument for carrying out reforms according to democratic standards , then viktor yanukovych became president in 2013. he was supposed to sign the association agreement in vilnius. pro-russian interests yanukovych never signed the agreement, instead he fled while the pro-european revolution of dignity was going on in ukraine and putin

occupied crimea and started a war in the east, i was in general well, there is a video of how lord yanukovych ran out of his room and shouted to all the heads of germany, france and great britain that he is mr. putin on the phone and he doesn’t allow him, he doesn’t allow it there, and he shouted, that is, ukraine, and they allow them to sign an agreement on the subordination of europeans union, the song of the change of power in 2014. ukraine and the european union signed an association agreement, it allows to get closer to the eu politically and economically. in 2017, the european parliament supported visa-free provision, ukrainians were able to to work and travel freely in europe, you and i, the ukrainian people and the whole of ukraine, are entering another historical era, and this event marks the final break with the russian empire

. president and the chairman of the verkhovna rada sent an application for joining the eu, the european parliament supported the majority of it, and the european commission sent ukraine a questionnaire that is a test of the internal and external state of affairs in the state which kyiv filled in record time, ukraine felt the support of four powerful european states at once, in particular the support of our movement into the european union, italy, romania, france, germany, with us, of course, all relevant procedures must be completed, all countries, all eu members must join, but after acquiring candidate status, many years of reforms must be completed in the sphere of the supremacy of the law of democracy, combating corruption, lithuania needed four for this.
