titanic victorious work when we were going to the candidacy well, i can only say for myself that this visit to the countries of the european union i took on i took on the most difficult er-e in the parliament that existed in nine days i had 69 meetings that is, it is titanic work how much holding meetings with the president of ukraine, this is also crazy work, how many meetings are held by the prime minister and the deputy prime minister, this is crazy work. we must understand that behind every success there must be work, and therefore i am deeply convinced that if we are honest european partners and let's say, friends, you set us all these conditions, we fulfilled them. then please, let's move on, and that's why it seems to me that they will find a way to convince any member of the european union that ukraine has long been worthy of membership in the european union, because i have a lot of discussions with our european partners and when they start telling me about the bureaucracy. i'm talking about something else, friends. understand one thing, what you're saying. in the bureaucratic sense, ukrainians value

their own lives. and the most valuable thing that we have in ukrainians with the lives of our sons and daughters, we defend in practice on the front lines, and therefore, if it is not the european union, please tell me what, then, the european union, what, then, the idea of ​​unification based on principles, based on ideals, based on values, we know what it is, what these values ​​mean that they respond to you, you know, they react completely differently after that, because when you talk to them in an honest dialogue, when you conduct a frank dialogue with them about some kind of behind-the-scenes intrigue, i always say to me, how is the deputy very it is easy to talk with you, parliamentarians and other colleagues with whom they meet because what you can say a diplomat can say, a deputy can say, we are elected by the people, we speak on behalf of the people. it is very easy for me to talk with them. i find those arguments that force them to change, including our decisions, and we see that today in the parliaments of the world such decisions are being made that we could not have dreamed about a year ago. i am not talking only about the membership of ukraine, about the potential membership of

ukraine about the candidate status that we are sitting with you now, and in 30 minutes the european parliament will make a decision to recognize russia as a terrorist state. please tell me when it was possible to think that the european parliament, where a lot of different positions are presented today, will unite around ukraine and against the russian federation, this is also preceded by this great work and i am grateful to the presidency of the parliament, roberti matsuoli, who is a great friend of ukraine, who is a great personal friend of mine, that they support this topic, that they are working on it, because once again i say success is a lot of work, and that is why it is very important that they all do not forget that today it is ukraine that is protecting the values ​​they are talking about. we are going step by step. the first stage is the seven things we are talking about. these are

absolutely all laws. yes, this is more. we go to these seven points new year's eve. as planned and we plan to do it. you once told someone in an interview that european laws should be adopted qualitatively without speed. and you think that now you are working exactly according to this principle, absolutely, that is, look, i'm telling you again that there are several blocks, the first block is seven comments, the second block is the so-called, we have created a list, and this is what we need to implement the association agreement, these are 37 legislative acts, which we are currently working on, 14 of them we adopted last session, we are planning another 20, we will adopt the next one and then we also approve all the others. we also want to show the movement of ukraine towards the european union as much as possible. after we complete these things, we will start negotiations with the european union, and then we will be presented with 35 directions in which we

must bring our legislation into compliance in order to we could be a full-fledged member, then we will have a clear map in front of us that we must adopt, we will then adopt the law on the movement of ukraine and the european union, we will write all the laws that are needed, we will write all the directives that are needed directives and regulations that must be implemented by the legislation of ukraine and, believe me, we will then demonstrate this level of work in the parliament. we are currently creating a parliamentary office for european integration. european institutions, we are ready, we have already agreed with the european parliament on the mutual work of our committees, this is again a big, tiny job, but we are doing everything to when they will put the whole map in front of us, what we have to do in order for us to start moving as a parliament in this way until the new year. our task is to complete our demands to everyone, demonstrate to the world that we have fulfilled it and expect ukraine's invitation to

open negotiations on ukraine's full membership in the european union and beyond the ball will already be in the european union's court. i think we will be able to achieve a very quick - everything is correct. from a very quick response from the european union. but that will leave them. and the last question on today, how are you going to celebrate victory day ? you know, i think that i really want to spend this day with my sister, everyone. it's very cold at work, and i'm on victory day. i think that i want to spend one day mine is only one day and more, unfortunately, it’s very rare now it’s normal and how can it be different, because after the victory it’s only the beginning. you understand that this is only the beginning of the great path. this is only the beginning of the great victory of ukraine after our victory, but the victory is a must "it will definitely be. i believe in it and tell everyone

candidates of this effort and bring them closer, all the names of their work, i think that all together, this is the work of all of us and victory will be all of us, yes, thank you, thank you, those who commit war crimes should understand what they are doing, this is a message to them, as in the bible at the beginning there was a word and we have said our word, we congratulate you on the first channel of public broadcasting i congratulate you as a member of the european parliament and us ukrainians with the fact that the european parliament adopted a resolution recognizing russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, we are recording this conversation with you on wednesday almost immediately after the vote, what can the resolution change and was it difficult for you and your like-minded colleagues to influence your colleagues in the european parliament

to vote for the plant first? as a person, as a european, i understand that it is terrible that we even have to vote in order to recognize the largest state in the world as a terrorist. imagine the situation we europeans will be in if a terrorist rule reigns in russia on the european continent the state regime that commits crimes against ukraine because we were able to pass the resolution, these are mixed feelings now about the importance of the resolution.

yes, this is only the first step on our continent. there has never been such a situation with a state that commits terrorism with the help of its own institutions. we do not have the appropriate legislation. only some regulations, for example, the decision of the eu to recognize organizations such as hezbollah as terrorists. as for the states, such decisions have not yet been adopted in the resolution. we asked the european commission and specialized institutions to provide us and the european union with legislative acts that should explain in detail the consequences of what this means, who recognizes a state as a terrorist or a sponsor of terrorism, what happens next, the isolation of the country, the breakdown of diplomatic relations, i am only

assuming now, i am asking a question, the commission and the european council should clearly regulate this issue, did you mention that the resolution contains the mention of the need to develop a legal framework for recognizing russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, i understand that we are talking about such recognition at the level of the entire european union, that is, now in the eu does not have a basis for recognizing russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, like the one that exists in the united states of america. the recognition of russia as a state sponsor of terrorism was borrowed from the usa, but everyone understands everything. we, in particular, my political group, wanted the name of the resolution to

recognize russia as not a sponsor of terrorism. and as a terrorist state, because this regime does not just sponsor terrorism, which is carried out by someone else, the state itself, the kremlin regime itself carries out terrorism, there was a proposal to call the kremlin regime a terrorist regime, this definition was more clear, but as always we had to make compromises in the parliament, so i don't know what the name will be when we have the necessary morning legislation in the future, there is also no legislation, they have never recognized any state as a terrorist, only a state that sponsors terrorism, but this name is very close in meaning everything should be called by its

name and regulated at the eu level b is correct i understand that if this regulatory framework is developed, russia will become the first state recognized as a sponsor of terrorism at the eu level of the states sponsor interos, yes, the european parliament asked for such a law for the first time in its history, and the russian federation is the first state to be recognized as a state sponsor of terrorism. you are talking about the need to develop a legal framework for recognizing russia as a state sponsor of terrorism. there is political will in the european union at the level of all member states in order to recognize russia . a sponsor of terrorism, i do not think that this political

will is the same, some countries such as my native lithuania , as well as latvia, estonia, poland and their parliaments have already done it. what does this mean without a special legislation, they simply recognized russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, but there are no consequences for this. however, such a step is also important. we will see, of course, you know the situation in the eu of 27 member states. this is an important message for russia, not only for ukraine, we not only appealed to the european commission with a request

to adopt the relevant legislation, but also gave a signal to russia that those who commit war crimes have to understand what they are doing, this is a message to them in africa or other parts of the world who, during the voting at the un, do not support this or that resolution related to the war against ukraine, this is an important achievement, as in the bible at the beginning there was a word and we said our word yours native lithuania recognized russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, just like estonia and poland, for example, there was a statement at the level of parliamentarians of these countries that distinguishes lithuania from

those countries that have not yet dared to take such a step or are not even considering it, there are probably some the reasons may be that some countries believe that a mere statement is not enough of a statement - it is just a statement after the statement has been made, some laws or regulations still need to be adopted, regulations, we feel the western front line, in particular, here in the european parliament until february 24 in my native country of lithuania, as well as in such countries such as france or germany had a different approach, many of the countries have already apologized, they admitted that cooperation with putin was a mistake, for example , in germany due to dependence on gas and oil in

hungary, too, but hungary has not yet recognized its mistakes, many countries used to have a different perception of what the russian union was, when the ussr collapsed, it seemed that history was over and no one wanted to understand or condemn the atrocities and crimes committed during the times of lenin's or stalin's regimes, the solyanian stalin, the holodomor regime, the occupation of the baltic countries, when i saw the photos of irpenia from other cities, i understood that this was also the case in our history, when the ussr came to lithuania, lithuanians were tortured, deported

, thrown behind bars for a decade, our people fought in the forests. this is the same regime that and were not condemned, and now this regime has become even more powerful , the century opens up new opportunities, but not only the majority of eu member states, but also the united states are in no hurry to include russia in the list of states sponsoring terrorism, arguments are heard, for example, that such a step was complicated by the participation of the united states as an informal mediator between ukraine and russia ukraine and resha what do you speech

and the european council eh i approach this situation as a complex state sponsor of terrorism an important part of what we have to do but the most important thing is to help ukraine win this war that the usa is already doing, did and will continue to provide ukraine with weapons, only after that will some negotiations or something like that become possible, the maltists again with that, so why are they not doing it, maybe they still think that in this way they leave room for dialogue, some say, for example , that the grain agreement very important, we should not close all the windows for negotiations regarding it because many

countries are concerned about a possible food shortage or what is happening in africa and other countries , there are many arguments, but we are meps decided that it is most important to speak out and say what we see. i often quote ronald reagan when he spoke out against the soviet union and said do not be afraid to see what you see, what russia is doing today, in particular, is destroying the ukrainian infrastructure and causing people to suffer - this is pure terror, we can close our eyes and wait silently for dialogue, they did what they did, it is our duty as members of the european parliament, and the usa will do what they think is best, you and i discussed

this instrument of recognizing russia as a state in the eu sponsor of terrorism, we can also mention a number of sanctions packages introduced against russia after 2014. does the european union have any other tools to influence the aggressor russia in its war against ukraine? it is very important to create a special tribunal to investigate the crime of aggression. this is the most important thing and it directly relates to due to the fact that putin started this war, the international criminal court is unable to convict anyone for the crime of aggression regarding sanctions, we lithuanians stopped buying russian gas many months ago, but some countries

they continue to do it and russia receives money, so it is important that in the coming days the european commission will announce a decision regarding the so-called price cap for oil and gas, discussions are ongoing, it is not all simple, not all countries agree, on the other hand, unity is powerful , i think i did not expect to receive such an age or from western countries and sanctions for everything else, the new sanctions package is also being discussed, the parliament is not involved in this, we only read about it in the newspapers or hear from our ambassadors, but the process is progressing, the most important thing today is still a weapon, my conclusion

this is how we have to win this war, it is most important by all means, by providing weapons, by sanctions, by deterring russia, we have to restrain this regime by all possible means, and for this, not enough has been done, or is there a fear that the further the eu advances in its pressure on russia, the more it exposes itself to danger safe means not only the economic tools of pressure that russia has, they are not easy, of course our people, our society or a part of society can get tired, prices have risen, no one is happy that they have to pay more for heating products or food, but as jenn stoltenberg said in

madrid at the summit of the nato parliamentary assembly, at which she was also present, we pay with money and ukrainians pay with their lives, many politicians understand this and we have to explain it to our people ukrainians fight not only for themselves, of course they defend their land and their freedom, but they fight for us as well. they protect us too, our suffering cannot be compared with what you are experiencing in ukraine, but is there a fear that russia may directly attack whooping cough from eu member states and nato say that it is impossible at all, but they do not have the means to do it, they do not have the means to

seize ukrainian territory, they can destroy and cause damage, they can even use strategic weapons, but there is a very clear message from nato and other countries, what this can lead to, i am sure that there are any channels for dialogue with the kremlin . they know that the answer will be decisive. and the consequences for russia are extremely bad. i don't think that putin is suicidal and wants to die. he wants to intimidate us. i want us to support ukraine less . ukraine has fewer weapons, however, it is extremely important to remain steadfast and strong, not to be afraid of what he is doing, as ukrainians are not afraid of it. you are not afraid specifically, i am of course not, i am afraid that he

can do this, i mean putin and his regime, but i can frankly say that we will not give up starting from march last year, the european parliament voted with an almost equal majority for the resolutions regarding russia, this means something, thank you very much ms. yukhniavichyna, glory to the heroes unconquered cities of ukraine, this is cozy kherson, the pearl of protected areas the city of ukraine played a significant role in the creation of statehood. it became the southern center of the ukrainian revival during the great terror. nkvdists shot almost 2,000 citizens for nationalism. the
