of russian aggression, in china, in latin america, in india, in africa, there is no such clear one- hundred percent understanding there, russian propaganda is actively blurring the perception of the situation, and i think that russia is trying in this case to use the thesis about its own antimyorganism, i will not be surprised if russia now remembers that ukraine changed fuel rods from e-e russian fuel rods e-e confirmed to e-e nuclear fuel from the american bestinghaus company precisely at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and will start using this topic in order to show that they say they came to the territory of the zaporizhia nuclear power plant in order to free ukraine from the american anti-terrorist operation, that is, in the context of propaganda, theses about the existing so -called biological laboratories will not be enough, and here the

use of other things will do, that is, it is nice to think that putin acts from the point of view of pure logic he is primarily from the point of view of the government's interests, and so in order to win or count, until recently he managed to do this between only the war in ukraine in the last six weeks, they have become such a powerful trier for changes in the approaches of the west in the attitude to the russian authorities. well, we will observe the mission of the maga-thesis, their arrival at the zaporizhia nuclear power plant, and we should not forget that the gauls of the occupied part of the zaporizhia region, balynskyi said that he is in the crimea for family reasons. well, we hope that he himself evacuated in advance, and that the russian federation will not commit any provocations that could lead to huge casualties among the civilian population,

in particular, dear ones, we don't have much time yet, we have literally one and a half minutes for each of these a few days ago we discussed an event taking place in prague in the czech republic. the ministers of foreign affairs of ukraine and the european union are to meet today in order to give a concrete answer regarding tourist visas for russians, and there are a number of countries that say no, this is not the best idea, but it is better that those countries that are most used in russia by russians to advance deep into europe and into the whole realized world. they have a very clear and defined position . in the areas that we are currently talking about in the context of the european union p. vitaly well, of course, let's say that the suspension of visas to finland will affect some people who are used to shopping tours in e-e spitor or there in the

leningrad region or from the north of russia, there is a lot of traffic there were influenced, they wanted to say that it will affect their minds, something is correcting it, showing the negative side of the putin regime . will also not have too much effect on a cross russian. but the fact that this will be a certain wake-up call for the elite for the russians and the elite for the fact that, despite the war, she carried out traffic and traveled around european countries, and now in many resorts of france and italy there are quite a lot of russians, not only ukrainian there is a battalion in monaco, which is the ukrainian battalion of monaco, but many russians who are in europe are either silent or even support the putin regime, but for them it is a

problem for history, a problem, more precisely, for russians in estonia has a problem who may lose their real estate, but they will not be able to service it in germany in the middle of the night in poland, the real estate of russians on the baltic alert is in france and italy . is a statement by luxembourg, france that they do not support a visa bank for russians because they are at war with putin and not with the russian people, and the illusion of this is inherent in the old european part of the issue also in germany, how will she behave in eastern europe, this is how they apply sanctions, reduce the issue, thank you, thank you, gentlemen, unfortunately we have to move on, i would like to make public another important piece of information, by the way, we remember mr. yevgeny, so what is behind the espresso tv channel borzhok where it's about the fact that the schedule of our marathon

should be moved. therefore, the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine, dmytro kuleba, proposed to launch a special program for russian soldiers who do not want to fight in ukraine. lay down your arms, surrender with the ukrainian army and get the opportunity to start a new life, the minister is sure that this proposal is worth consideration and implementation, and we are now moving on to an exclusive interview with the international columnist espresso, yuriy fizera, with the member of the european parliament, viola phoon, about aid to ukraine and common from europe and the way to victory over the russian aggressor, why is germany afraid to give us weapons , and is the northern stream-2 finally closed, let's watch together, welcome, my name is yuriy fizar, the west and ukraine as europe, in particular, supports us during the russian aggression that began on february 24 this year, how does the west help us and our relations with

the west and how we, together with europe, will defeat this russian invasion about this and other things, i spoke with my guest today, this is viola von crown and she is a member of the european parliament. well, she used to work as a member of the bundestag. well, she is also a member of the kenya alliance 90 party of the green greatings. greetings, mrs. vonkramon, glad to see you. thank you for joining me today and agreeing answer my questions, my first question sounds like this: in june, the european union granted ukraine the status of a candidate for eu membership stated what what do you think when ukraine can become part of the eu because last year you were very skeptical about such a prospect usa dead juve-verse kepticl first of all i believe that now we are

breaking through in a completely different situation secondly ukraine is the largest european state and applying for eu membership is quite logical for it regardless of whether you are in a state war or not, but on the way to membership in the eu, there are certain conditions to be fulfilled regardless of whether you are the last war or not, what we saw after the first stage of the application actually answered a set of questions, the commission did an excellent job. we are waiting for the response of the commission in the european parliament the member who left me is you have many supporters who would like to see you in the european union as soon as possible. eurosport

as soon as possible. it is difficult to say. europe may show reluctance to observe ukraine's membership in the european union. i think there are certain countries that are not at all interested in the expansion of the eu . you respond to the

loan, you have the absolute right to become a member of the eu as soon as possible. i know that ukraine will soon finally give fighters to the terrible russian aggression to the russian troops, and therefore we will immediately move on towards the next steps of the european integration process , they are skeptical because they have not seen such efforts on the part of ukraine, but they are actually optimistic . an honest and fair society if you want to create a

european society, you need to change the tax system, distribute taxes in such a way that those who really need them and also be afraid of the embezzlement of funds, because if the european union supports ukraine in its recovery, then many investments will flow into ukraine, but if our tax payers do not know who ultimately benefits from these funds, they will lose interest, stop supporting and be like this, and this will harm the whole to the country and citizens on the ground. therefore, we must first ensure reforms and the fight against corruption, and then the next steps. i am sure that we will succeed at the end of january 2022. just one

month before the start of the russian invasion of ukraine one of the deputies of the ukrainian parliament, david arahamia, said that the usa, together with its european partners and allies, is simply spreading panic about possible aggression, and you answered very harshly, then i swear to you, they all use drugs in ukraine, or what is happening there regarding drugs, i can’t say anything, and yet that this happened here on saturday and i saw how the entire government, especially with its hands. i was part of this government or the speaker of the majority in the verkhovna rada. i would prepare my country. i would

go out to the people and inform them about their actions in in the event of aggression, i would take preventive measures, i would tell people about the placement of cats, i would resort to both civil and military measures, i would inform them why they should do how to raise the awareness of their fellow citizens, and your government did the complete opposite, they say that you are people from the west, you are american spies, you to sow panic that will eventually lead to the devaluation of the hryvnia with you all the same, a solution may come somewhere at the beginning of february this year, we came and tried to talk with government representatives and emphasize the need transition to a military economy, it was quite obvious, we said that putin is about to attack you, he is quite ready, that's why i was somewhat annoyed that the government did not react to it in any way, instead , the sowed panic blamed me. i continued to say that it is quite the opposite, they are not doing

their job a certain discussion mainly in the internet space, but also online thank you very much for your position e-e next questions volodymyr zelenskyi zelenskyi president of ukraine volodymyr zelenskyi in a recent article in the washington post newspaper - this stated that the ukrainian authorities did not warn the ukrainian communities about a possible attack by russia ukraine becaus there seems to be panic in ukraine and this stickman this statement caused discussions in ukraine diskan insight and how do you like this approach well amen i really felt relief because he confirmed what i was talking about spoke at the end of january,

so he was aware, we repeated to him for a whole month dear mr. president, do something, take precautionary measures, use our knowledge, our information, our intelligence the protection of civilians and so on, of course the situation is difficult from the first day of the war, the great one will go to your president, that is, the right steps and he is a role model, he did not flee the country and does not tire of assuring every ukrainian that we will fight to the victorious end, that many people in ukraine and beyond its borders, we understood this and expected it from the president. that is why i used to be surprised

by his inaction, but at the moment when the war began, he was the right person in the right place with the right understanding of what was needed i developed such a somewhat split image. at first, i wanted more actions from him, but after the war began, i believe that he deserves our respect and admiration, and i hope that he knows what to do now and in the future, so i hope that the war will end soon and we will defeat the enemy and we will live on it depends a lot on our military support the name is really a shame for this attitude friday what ukraine needs is quite obvious as well as what we can provide you we could easily deliver more weapons more heavy weapons and

tanks". fell amen why is it difficult to say something comes to mind such conclusions should be drawn really afraid of something or speculating on the situation that we will be able to return to business to commercial to political relations that we had in a demonstrable way the german government and german consumers felt very comfortable in these times but all this in the

past will never be as it was before , people must understand this and i also want to say that after relatively low energy prices and high dependence on russian gas for many families in germany during difficult times did not pay an average of 130-140 euros per month, now the amount has increased to 500 euros, if you have a small income , even if both parents work, then this is a tangible financial burden, i understand the suffering of people, but our work as politicians, in particular, our minister of economy and climate change every day perfectly explains why we need to save energy why we should give up russian gas why it will be a hard winter but together we fight for the truth and support ukraine it is enough for us to be in

russian gas slavery putin succeeds every day in very important blackmail in relation to our economy to our consumers to our people and it is not our fault not the fault of the current government by mistake it was made 16 years ago by making the wrong decision to present the use of gas as a transition technology although in fact it is not yes is it just fossil fuels like all or minerals i think the idea of ​​the energy transition is good but if you rely on only one supplier it is extremely dangerous so now we are reaping what we have sown. since we have already touched on the issue of russian gas, let's talk about nord stream-2. a lot of german politicians are starting to talk about the revival of this

project . what do you think about it? really rejected the majority of colleagues from the bundestag and also with the government because the majority does not speak in the eastern part of germany there is a rather large group that tends to express itself this is how the group why do we have to suffer at least some peaceful the agreement between russia and ukraine is observed favoring russia, if we look at the statistics, the majority clearly expresses their support for ukraine about

nord stream-2. about the anti-russian sanctions of the west. do you think that they are really enough now or maybe something else needs to be done ... numerous spare parts, in particular for industrial cars and high technologies. now there are a lot of them what cannot be replaced, of course , not every average person feels such a hum, speaking of representatives of elite circles,

it is important for us to be patient, but it is clear that due to financial high-tech and other commodity sanctions, it will be extremely difficult for the russian economy propaganda does not abate how to say to give they they want to create the impression that we in the west are suffering more than the economy of russia, the truth of the oligarchs and the sanctions list, it is possible to allow any circumvention of the sanctions so that it would be very difficult first in general

, we have to take care of alternative ways of providing oil, coal, gas, uranium and everything else, but this takes time, unfortunately, this process requires specific efforts and not just pressing one button, i can say on behalf of our government and the green party that members of parliament are working on this 24/7 establishing direct contacts with russia , everything is present and we have to work to change this state of affairs, the grain agreement and the un see that russia is slowly coming back into the game, they could have conducted the negotiations themselves, especially when it comes to nitrogen fertilizers and other most important goods from the point of view of agricultural production, however, they decided to attract pressure from the most vulnerable countries such

as ethiopia, somalia, sudanese women, it was absolutely clear to us that putin will continue his disinformation and propaganda with the help of these countries , they say that they suffer from holo and there is still a threat of global hunger and global catastrophe and we must prevent it this was clear blackmail and we knew it from the first day of the war it is a somewhat difficult situation i agree but when we are talking about sanctions, time is on our side, the site, what do you think about a possible ban on sending tourist troops to the eu to ordinary russians, because last week your chancellor said that this is a war of difficult

russians, and putin should not introduce such a ban, i do not think such a statement of a reasonable ukraine bordering on as a country of russia, i am all for this because we see how many russians continue to enjoy their normal life, go to helsinki and then fly to the cote d'azur or other beautiful places, while the russian government kills ukrainians, it is absolutely unacceptable on the other hand i also see that there are many people who feel certain oppression and who need to flee from russia with the strengthening of repression in the

country they need a way to leave the country just for a few months i understand when you work together with the russian position with activists with your colleagues more critical independent journalists. so there are not so many of them. in ukraine, it is quite difficult to leave the country and get a humanitarian visa . for example, recently in albania, two russians and one citizen of ukraine have nato tourist visas for me understood that this is a direct security threat. does this not only apply to tourism, so i think it would be very reasonable on our part to find ways in which we can really limit some to the eu, either through a complete ban or

through security checks of people who apply for visas, respectively, i completely agree that the country's members are in favor of restricting or even banning the entry of tourists from russia to the territory of the eu. okay. thank you very much. thank you very much for this answer. you come to ukraine. mission, because together with people's deputy mykola knyazhytskyi, you will open temporary shelters for internally displaced persons here in ukraine, if possible, please elaborate on this point, it is so easy to allocate time for travel, especially when it comes to a country in which there is a war going on, so i took advantage of my vacation to spend some

time in ukraine, i.e. in zakarpattia oblast where now here in ivano-frankivsk oblast i am very glad to meet and get to know so many people it is easy for your region we wanted to get some information on the ground, to see how they live and how well the public organizations work here, what they offer to children, today they talked about various activities, uhu, rehabilitation, you go with families , they gave legal advice, there are many measures that need support and help from the national government, and there is, of course, what to you

because it's bade europin junin anot scood for me it's very useful for the european parliament to see everything with your own eyes to talk to people and feel how they suffer listen to where they came from and how it is for them what kind of perspective do they have, do they want to stay and integrate here or return to their native land? all this information is extremely valuable to me as a member of the european parliament and i hope that we will be able to develop more specific proposals or even come here with other colleagues if they have it, it was mine initiative to hold so often see with your own eyes what is happening in parts of ukraine thank you very much for coming to ukraine, we sincerely appreciate the help you provide us thank you to all your colleagues in europe for solidarity in such a very difficult time for us, i hope that together with you we will win in the

near future and ukraine will become a sovereign part of europe because we are a part of europe. i sincerely thank you for agreeing to talk with me . wonderful people, you deserve everything from the european union, so i hope that soon you will receive a full-fledged number mrs. von kramon. i will remind you that viola von kramer spoke to me today about how we cooperate with the west as an event, europe is helping us to overcome this influx , which is scheduled for february 24. it is still going on, but i am sure that it will end very soon. fizer until the meeting on the 11th

in ukraine news time on the espresso tv channel in the studio of iryna koval congratulations to the luhansk region, our defenders repelled all the enemy assaults, the offensive actions of the occupiers were unsuccessful, instead, it is not the people who continue to raid peaceful settlements and our troops opened fire from tanks
