throw out for full membership of the european union is much more than described in the seven points of the remarks of the european commission, and in fact the list of those requirements was already known for a long time, they are quite detailed , clearly and concretely set out in the association agreement, which ukraine has been steadily fulfilling the last for almost 10 years that's why here we are optimistic about the process of acquiring full membership in although we can talk about specific terms at a time, the fact is that we understand that in the current state of ukraine, its economy it is hardly possible even theoretically to consider that it fully meets the standards adopted in the european union and we understand that of course it is a war victory in the war the

number one issue is the further reconstruction of ukraine the reconstruction of the ukrainian economy and this is precisely the process of fulfilling our obligations in order to be able to become a full member of the european union, and there is a political framework, a legal framework , an economic framework, a lot has already been done on this path, we are not starting from a clean slate, so to speak even according to such mutually agreed official assessments of the state of implementation of the association agreement, about 65% of the obligations that ukraine has already fulfilled, well-known to all our citizens, the visa-free program is slowly expanding, so to speak, its influence even to this day we can already talk about, for example, the

industrial multitude that is extremely important for the economy of ukraine, and the european commission has adopted a decision to support the european parliament that ukrainian goods will be in such a visa-free regime, so to speak, that is, without customs e-e will be admitted to the markets of the european union very recently, we received great news about the so -called transport visa-free, when without e-e necessary - without obtaining a license, our carriers will be able to e-e join most of the transport programs that exist in the european union in the end - the rest of the connection of the ukrainian system to the european energy system, that is, the energy visa-free, so it can also be called it is in action, and we remember that it happened already during the war and that in itself became a serious challenge such and technical and political resistance was huge from russia, to which system we were attached, we will

talk with you, the achievement is really great and we hope that we will implement this road map, on the other hand, we understand how, for example, poland was preparing for membership in the european union , how carefully they the question of time limits, ms. maria, came up here as well. in your opinion, how long do we have to perform these tasks? if not, it can last as in the case of turkey, for example, for a couple of dozen years, and the visa will remain in the same place , that is, there is a feeling that there will be some very fast dynamics.

changes and such a more operational way that i think that civil society and, in principle , those regions that suffered from the russian influence and then felt the decentralization reforms and what vadim said was some or other changes that concerned precisely those european standards. well, i think that it will be much easier for our society to accept some even well, let's say yes, quite painful things, especially what concerns the economy , but i would like to thank you as well vadim, because we have known each other for a long time. and for the past three months, we have worked very fruitfully here, and i want to thank the presidium of the verkhovna rada. yes, and the government. that is, this is such an example of the positive inheritance of power when zelensky’s team continued is what we worked on before the trial,

and the energy visa-free program came up today. i remember very well how difficult it was for us to negotiate this application if 27 and, in principle, to become part of the energy market of the european union, as well as the industrial visa-free program, and it seems to me that if we will keep this kind of team spirit and such pace a-a-m-m in working out the implementation of those seven points that will allow us to start negotiations on the already concrete directions to membership in the european union, we can do it it took quite a long time to achieve, because what is listed in principle and what concerns the rule of law well, it’s worth it, let’s just say that we should also pay attention to the fact that we have been trying to somehow fix it there for the last three years, and there are some things that we didn’t have time to do either i.e. now the most important thing is to draw these conclusions, do work on mistakes and speed up when we

talk about us minorities and here are your questions. a-a mechanisms well, we are with you we know those countries that still haven't broken away from the russian federation, let's say, that's why we have to be very careful and stick to our line and talk about it ourselves and about the anti-energy law. that is, we should adopt the changes that were mentioned at the beginning by the recommendations of this commission of vnokia. now we will say so, we are going back and uh, well, let's catch up on what we were supposed to do and the last one. i think that and that 's the democratic part, what concerns the copenhagen criteria, the political part of our obligations we also have to show serious intentions a and this political system is still democratic principles - this is a strong parliament, this is a

strong opposition of democratic european and this is for all state institutions to respect each other and work energetically to fulfill these criteria and of course, this is freedom of speech, but if you didn't like it even during the war, hmm, sometimes the authorities hear what we pay attention to , we also pay attention to what our partners pay attention to. it's important that we know better about it they didn't just say that they should do it in order to hide. in order to direct it to p. halaichuk, will the government listen to our european partners or will our song be a good new song? that is, you should help us because we are doing what we are doing. level of perceived advice and recommendations from the european union, we understand that european bureaucrats are quite thorough and they

demand compliance with the letter of the law . by withdrawing from the broadcast, yes, from the t2 network of three tv channels, here we come to such a moment, i think that this game is perceived in the european union somehow, well, with wide-open eyes, not understanding how this is even possible in a country that, well, is democratic in its essence. ms. maria and i really we have known each other for a long time and i am also grateful, especially these last few months when we have had many business trips and many opportunities to work on this joint task and i will tell you that i probably a year will confirm quite frank conversations we had with our european partners, where we tried to explain, very detailed, with specific

examples, why certain restrictions are now in ukraine, including the restrictions you are talking about, it is known that with the introduction of martial law in ukraine, a number of public rights and freedoms were restricted, about which we also formed the organization of the united nations and our european partners, of course, about the reasons for the basis and absolutely legal measures were taken for that in order to ensure, well, in this case, what to say, the information security of ukraine. i don't want to go into details. there are indeed a number of technical details, which, including, we have to take into account why this media must function one way or another now field, we call it that in general in ukraine, but i will tell you from my own experience that i have personally met with understanding from our european partners why

certain restrictions are introduced, the only thing that of course we need to clearly explain is that there is there is a clear intention as soon as the threat disappears now we have before us as soon as we win this war or make sufficient progress on the way to the liberation of the territory and can, so to speak, remove a number of restrictions, then we will definitely do it, of course, who in ukraine is not going to do it if we think about it, surely so we eu tv channel, in particular, if we were to prevent moving in this direction, well, look at the fact that you and i are now talking on the air, we are seen, watched and heard by people. frankly speaking, i do not consider this to be such a restriction. number of viewers. as far as i understand, today they do not have such an opportunity, but if they wish, of course, they can connect to this

. in this way, as you and i have done now and listen to our favorite channel, they probably do it just as long as our european partners understand that all the necessary reforms can be implemented sometime after the war, after victory is achieved, i don’t know whether or not after the conclusion of this or that understanding. well, accordingly, for at least six months, the implementation of certain processes it may just slow down, we can see what the situation is with the constitutional court. yes, it is not up to well, according to my information, our european partners have information about our specialized anti -corruption bodies. yes, in certain areas of our economic life, what causes dissatisfaction, that is, as far as i understand,

we have different information about what do you like or not like my following dream interpretations of how these circumstances are seen by our european partners according to my information with the constitutional court, we also do not like how the reform of the constitutional court took place and we use the example of the mountains, of course, the decision of the constitutional court, which they abolished no one in the middle of the country liked the long-term anti-corruption reform efforts either. well, unless you are a corrupt person who became the beneficiaries of such decisions of the constitutional court therefore, unfortunately, the judicial reform in general and the reform of the constitutional court, which was carried out in 2016, were carried out

. to block the system and that is why we got the difficult task of reforming the unreformed courts, this is always quite difficult to do and our european partners understand this very well as for the structure of the ukrainian economy, well, now we can talk about it at all. i'm not there. it makes a lot of sense. because the ukrainian economy is already in a completely different state than it was , and it will certainly be in a different state . why are these or other initiatives being proposed, and how do you see it, including that financial aid is provided to ukraine in order to, well, first of all, keep it in the banking and financial sphere, in fact, that the new director will acquire and the prosecutor of the specialized anti-corruption prosecutor's office could just how

the best thing to do here is that the parliament is working , that is, the procedures are being carried out in our country, maybe it will be possible to start with this, mrs. maria, how can they help us with our trouble now, and the number one task of defeating the russian federation in this armed aggression, i did not understand and i will tell you in secret and our european colleagues also do not think that this is currently the number one problem, moreover, the ukrainian people, as far as i know, according to the various polls that are being conducted, so to speak, want to press exactly this, so these bodies leaders are the number one problem for ukraine, er, the ukrainian people should deal with all of this, yes, of course, i believe that certain processes should and should move in parallel. that is, parliamentarians

should deal with their military affairs, and so on. and so on, mrs. mariionova . you know the types of me. i understand what can be bought in vinnyky. you don’t ask our citizens about sapporo or nabu. and really, unfortunately, there are endless problems in the single marathon , and that’s why i think that you are a responsible person. which really deals with european structures , we understand what we are talking about because anti-corruption bodies are what the economy is, anti-corruption bodies are also investments and even if joint when we talk about the fact that we will not only match the funds but still we are also talking about investments, it is important for us to convince the council to restore corporate management so that countries invest and understand that their funds will be protected, and for this we need an anti-corruption structure and we need courts

you understand very well that this is all interconnected, i would simply urge that, you know, don't look for ways to do it, but let's do it anyway and, in parallel, not only achieve membership in the eu, but it is very important to think about security, what concerns membership in nato and i would very much like to hear more from the president and from the government and from our parliament about what we are doing in order to achieve an action plan for membership in nato so that we , too, are very important to work. when you talked about the association agreement, it is not during 10 years was implemented as much as possible, and we also understand that the problem is not only to adopt legislation. and you and i know how difficult it is to make by- laws and, well, let's say, to implement already at such a governmental executive level. and uh, i would also see a role here parliament for this kind of parliamentary control, how are the laws that we adopt, how does this harmonization of our legislation

take place ? and by the way, one of the criteria of the european union is, you know, control over the financing of a-a, and for them it is of great importance, that is, they really want to see how these funds will be spent and control these funds. therefore, everything is important. i just she called me to work and not let's say that's what i think, how is it, how is it, well, it can postpone what is possible regarding vadim's espresso channel. unfortunately, you understand that for some reason only marathon has a channel, and inter regionals have kolomoiskyi's channel 1+1 there is another oligarch's the client or ukraine, but for some reason there are no three channels, so which part belongs to which part, and a-a let’s say yes to the

media community and to petro and oleksiyovych, but this does not mean that they should not have access to this single transition, and therefore it still cuts everything very much eye, and if you think that the europeans are not speaking to you directly, just when the diplomats are speaking, they repeat themselves very much between the lines , and that is why it is important to read these signals and still correct them. that is, we understand here that this history has already developed and especially when you say that there is legal basis, sorry, i will do a little work here, the lawyer of the communal services. unfortunately, there is no legal basis for the closure, and that is why we would also need to get rid of one of the platforms that could be accessible to our viewers. in any case, we are currently collecting signatures for a petition there we are trying to communicate in this way, in particular with the authorities, and we hope that they will listen to us, because in fact,

we are not doing anything extraordinary now that can interfere with ukraine, we support the highest political and military leadership of our country, so, as it is thank you for talking about this on our broadcast, because there are actually a lot of other information ghosts that we constantly talk about. thanks to you, you can see how smart and well- adjusted people's deputies we have, who can be in absolutely different political forces. i think that they will have enough strength to to make decisions not only about the war and our defense, but also about internal work, which must also be carried out in parallel, is the duty of our people's deputies, we understand that a healthy society, a healthy state is the key to victory is that there can be no distortion and imbalance, society and the state must listen to each other in any case, thank you very much maria ionova , people's deputy of ukraine, as well as vadym melnychuk , people's deputy of ukraine responsible for our european integration direction, worked on our live broadcast, let's talk about energy in the world

now volodymyr omelchenko, director of energy programs of the razumkov center, please contact us. volodymyr, we congratulate you. glory to ukraine glory to the heroes. the sanctions introduced by the civilized world against the russian federation are working effectively. if we talk about this segment of the oil embargo , tankers under the sanctions of the russian state company some kom-flot continue to deliver oil to the ports of europe, bypassing western sanctions, the process is being clarified by independent international investigators platforms and the spot price of natural gas in europe, meanwhile, exceeds $1,500 per 1,000 m³ against the backdrop of a reduction in the supply of russian gas through the nord stream pipeline, but it seems that until the civilized world has not been able to overcome any restrictions, and the russian federation will somehow get even

its own profits in some places. well, i think that this message is absolutely wrong. i do not recommend that you spread this message because it is a purely russian message that russia it will benefit from the sanction, you know, it is an illusion that it will benefit from the sun, because you know that the main thing is not that the price is high there, it is rising, but not that the european union is getting rid of russian dependence on russian energy carriers, that is get rid of this narcotic gas and oil branch, that is the most important thing, and when it is clear that a drug addict wants to get rid of his addiction, there are great difficulties for him, it also applies to the oil and natural gas markets, you

understand, that is, the processes where deliveries to the european union are reduced by e-e of oil and gas, for example, germany has reduced its purchase of russian gas by 45% compared to last year. it should be taken into account that today , in essence, russia has declared a gas war in the european union, but the european union and most of the countries of the european union have accepted this challenge and are doing everything to win this battle. this also applies to oil. we see that despite the fact that in some cases sanctions are being circumvented, this rule did not exist. there are no rules without exception . the reduction of oil supplies will continue to increase, and today russia has already

reduced production due to a decrease in demand due to sanctions by 20-25%. i have volodymyr. well, we can see that, so to speak there was a collapse of the russian economy, we understand that the sanctions are in effect, but, unfortunately, the collapse did not happen, but we see how difficult the situation in the gas sector will be now, in particular, we are talking about the state of emergency in germany, well, the germans are carefully and meticulously preparing for the new harsh realities that will begin in october november december yes, we understand that the situation is not easy. the european union does not intend to comply with russia's demands . the russian trumpet, but there is another key issue that hurts me. it is about ukraine and our situation

, that is, for the germans. i am calm. the germans will prepare one way or another. what steps do you think our government should take as soon as possible, because the month of june is already coming to an end, there is not much left for the new extremely difficult heating season well, i can't say that nothing is being done, certain works are being carried out and now the government is forming opportunities and planning how to purchase natural gas , that is, there are small discrepancies here by naftogaz, naf-naftogaz believes that 3-4 billion cubic meters of imports are necessary until the fall of the winter season, believes that this is what is more. well, in principle, i think that the naftogaz sign here is closer to the truth. money is being sought for this event. i think that it

will be found either inside the country or at the expense of our international partners. well , what worries me more is that we actually have about 10 gw of capacity. they are either decommissioned due to the war or captured and located in the occupied territory. therefore, even if there will be little zaporizhzhia nuclear power station, eu thermal power station and kurakhiv thermal power station and uglehirska slovyanska luhanska i'm not talking about the solar ones, they poisoned the stations, that is, a lot of decommissioned ones are in the occupation zone, so even if the fuel will be important , the shadows of the winter period were able to release eh a significant

part of the occupied territory. i believe that this will definitely happen, but again, at the same time , we need to prepare for various. yesterday, khrystyna and i spoke with our energy experts and and from some phrases a feather on our head started to move, you understand when they tell us that and we have peatlands, let's extract peat and they also say that we have potentially extremely rich prospects for extracting biogas from garbage, we understand that these are very long programs and we need the situation will be solved in a very short period of time, so and so, according to the question , for example, money, it is possible and there will be . polish liquefied petroleum gas capacities, what are they? they have the appropriate interconnectors. i think that it

is absolutely possible to buy 3-4 billion by import, and i am almost certain that it will be done, and therefore there is no need to panic here, that means coal , that is, the situation is more or less normal. that our electricity consumption has decreased by about 30% in connection with hostilities, the same applies to natural gas, i'm saying it's more disturbing, it means decommissioned capacities and the fact that, apparently, more can be decommissioned operating capacity, as well as many cities, their energy infrastructure is damaged and it is very difficult to restore it, we need to concentrate on this, and for example, such places, if, for

example, there, uh, which are very badly damaged, then probably, uh, probably part of them live in mainly in kharkiv oblast, luhansk , donetsk, zaporizhzhia, eh, in such cities , you should probably look. maybe even resettle the inhabitants of the winter seeds if there, if there is really no way to do anything there, you noted that you have hope for the liberation of the temporarily occupied territories, but obviously we will not see some objects important for our energy there, which gave hope for m-m ecological energy in our country for the future. zaporizhzhia region, that is, we have the example of tokmak, where the occupiers dismantled and stole

the largest solar power plant in ukraine with an area of ​​96 hectares, they did it systematically, that is, it is unlikely that this is a story about situational looting the military is there, and this is just a planned action to sort out where to industrialize, so it’s just energy and something else, i don’t know. hmm , what objects can they take out and how should we return them, or should they be returned, they can to withdraw any object that they captured yes, and we need to find the object that remained on the territory of ukraine, just try to protect it with air defense systems to preserve critical infrastructure, this is very important and we will hope that our government will still be able to plan the right work and prepare for the winter, and the main thing now is

not to panic. and this is to work according to the plan, please remind me what is the specific fate of solar power in our country, now it is minimal, in general, i will restore all energy sources there no more than 3-4%." channel espresso, the news of which i will present to my colleague , thank you, khrystyna, well, the law enforcement officers illegally seized a collection of artifacts worth millions of dollars from the former people's deputy. well, the current people's deputy of ukraine turned out to be an agent of the kremlin , the news editor will tell you more, stay with us
