our cooperation in order to restore justice for all those who suffered from the evil of russia in the statement for the results, that is why our common vision regarding the need to create a legal mechanism to bring those guilty of crimes of aggression to justice, we insist and constantly work to create a relevant tribunal, discussed as well as the implementation of the use of frozen russian assets to finance the reconstruction of ukraine, we will also strengthen cooperation

crimes that were committed. in addition, russia must pay for the restoration of ukraine, and we will consider the possibility of special mechanisms for this, ukraine and the eu have a common goal to put an end to this war while respecting the sovereignty and integrity of ukraine, and that is why ukraine's initiative regarding the peace formula is important. at the summit last june, 27 members voted to grant candidate status for ukraine. this was a very important step since then, and ukraine has made considerable progress , especially in the judicial reform in the fight against

corruption, and you continue to strengthen measures from the rule of law because this is the benefit of every ukrainian and we will help you at all stages, we will work together to fully use all the opportunities of the free trade agreement. we also plan to involve ukraine in the roaming space of the european union, this is so very specific a step that will bring ukraine even closer to the eu. the volodymyretskyi union is with you today, it will be with you and yours and with ukrainians tomorrow and in the future , as long as it takes, we will be with you

at reducing energy consumption and this is part of the transfer of fifty million special energy-saving light bulbs and another 5 million light bulbs will be added and do you know uhu? in the first three days, i was told that 750,000 ukrainian citizens came to the nearest post offices to replace their light bulbs with new ones to join the efforts to ensure of energy security and saving of energy resources. i think that this is very symbolic because after this short visit to the maidan, to the post office, an air alarm sounded and we had to go down to the warehouse, and i perfectly understand that this is the reality in

which they live in and if ukraine needed some kind of living proof that russia will suffer a lot, only then will ukraine build its way to the european union, so the fact that we came here on the 24th is the most honey with ukraine of the european union in the middle of the war but nevertheless we say we are building the future of ukraine in the european union listen to this the best evidence is better than a thousand words god this is the reality that you have to act on today let's talk about different aspects of energy here 35 million light bulbs is just one of the examples
