[000:00:00;00] and before the need to restore and rebuild ukraine, and above all, it is about where people live, about the destroyed housing - this is the first priority, and it is the church in particular , including the orthodox church of ukraine , that participated in this and is participating in it . i live in the territory that was occupied near kyiv near the guest house and i know that the orthodox church of ukraine is in particular in the village where my house is, so they did not help to install modular houses for people who were deprived due to the destruction that's why it's a priority. when people will have a place to live, then we can worry about a place to pray to god

. you can rebuild a beautiful building. how will the reconstruction of cesarka begin, now it can be for those people who actually suffered from aggression and who lost their religious communities, but for whom it is important to preserve this spirituality, religiosity , the church is first of all people, not buildings. these are people, and where two or three are gathered in my name, christ says, i am there, i am in their midst , so whether there is a building or not, but you can gather together, you can pray together, and if well, if there is a priest, then he will explain all this to the people and unite and it will be more difficult to support where there is no priest. well, then people can organize themselves to turn to the bishop and ask him to provide them with spiritual care . so, thank you very much for the conversation. i will remind you on the air because the orthodox church of ukraine is against the jews, father andriy dudchenko, and

we will say goodbye on this. thank you for your attention take care i wish you a peaceful night and a peaceful morning. see you in the next broadcasts. the most important events are the events that are happening right now and affect our lives. of course, the news feed reports about them, but we don't know much about what is happening. we need to understand antin borkovsky and the invitation . experts soberly evaluate the events, analyze them , modeling our the near future that saturdays at 1:00 p.m. with a repeat at 10:00 p.m. studio event with anton borkovskiy nayspresso join the community with a ukrainian view of the world

of the kremlin, the head of the european council , charles-michel, said this after the results of the ukraine eu summit . how did the summit end, what are the prospects are looming before ukraine from this and let's start today in kyiv, the 24th ukraine eu summit was held, this is the first summit in which ukraine participated as a candidate for membership of the european union, despite the fact that a full-scale war is ongoing in ukraine , the leaders of the european union, led by the presidential european commission, arrived in kyiv by ursula fondtreline , the delegation also included 15 € commissioners , the president of the european council , charles-michel volodymyr zelenskyi, on the eve of the summit, said that ukraine deserves to to start negotiations on joining the eu already this year, but how realistic it is, we will talk about this soon well, in the meantime , my colleague iryna sysak was watching the summit, she joins our broadcast iryna my congratulations how did the summit end well, what prospects

are looming for ukraine that the western partners said, tell the country yourself, the eu ended without loud statements , but not without positive signals, at the joint press conference of ursula von der leyen , charles la michele and president volodymyr zelenskyi, many such statements were heard regarding accession of ukraine to the eu, the leaders of the european union confirmed once again that the future of ukraine is in the european family. and this visit of the leaders of europe during the war to ukraine is already a powerful message of support and lack of fear of russia. because ukraine and the eu are one family, these are the words of charles michel himself but when the ties in this family will be supported by documents, namely by the accession of ukraine to the european union , no one is ready to speak yet, as ursula fondelain stressed, despite the opposition to the aggressor, ukraine is taking

crazy steps on the way to accession, but there are still there are still requirements, the recommendations of the european commission, which ukraine is completing, there is also a need for the implementation of legislation, but what is very important, as volodymyr zelenskyi said, the joint final statement says that the intention to start negotiations on ukraine's accession to the european union already this year has been recorded, and this what ukraine was striving for, what ukrainian diplomats were striving for and obviously the political will in the european union is for this, let's listen to the president of ukraine about the association, it is obvious that today 72% of our obligations have been fulfilled, and with the agreement on

agreement also today at the summits we presented progress in the implementation of the recommendations of the european commission for the first time in our bilateral document joint statements our intentions to start negotiations on accession and to start them as soon as possible are recorded and we have already started work on the preparation for these negotiations and we are waiting for the relevant decisions of the european commission and the goal of the european council is to start negotiations already this year, and i would say that it is not just a goal - it is the goal of ukraine's childhood in the european union, today they also talked about the current assistance to ukraine in the war with russia the federation talked about economic cooperation and military aid, in particular the training of thousands of ukrainian servicemen in the european union, they talked about energy support, ursula fondolyan said that ukraine will import from europe the kind of electricity that is needed today, they also talked

about the use of russian assets for the reconstruction of ukraine, and also about a tribunal for the kremlin as european leaders said today they are collecting evidence and plan to create it , pressure on the russian federation will increase by february 24. the european union is planning everything to pass the 10th package of sanctions, its volume will be 10 billion euros, and they want to focus on technology in it sanctions are already on the way, we aim to pass it by february 24 , the volume of the sanctions package is about ten billion euros, this is again a large package . we plan to concentrate on technologies that may or may not be used by the russian military machine, in other words, we

let's look deeper into the details found in drones to make sure that russia does not have the technology for the production of drones. the 10th package will also have proposals to counteract the circumvention of sanctions. here is a forecast of the same , ukraine, the eu, but i also want to add an important thing that volodymyr zelenskyy spoke about today , in particular on zaprobakhmut, the president of ukraine said that no one will surrender the city, but when asked about the possible offensive of the russian federation, he says that russia seeks revenge in the east of ukraine, but the authorities are ready for this . the main thing is that there should be weapons from partners and ukrainians themselves have the motivation to win, iryna thank you very much iryna sisak, a correspondent of radio svoboda, followed today's eu-ukraine summit , which took place in kyiv, thank you. and the pace at which ukraine is moving towards eu membership , the diplomatic corps of the european union is impressed by at least a few officials in brussels who

wished to remain radio svoboda said that compared to, for example, serbia, which became a candidate for eu membership in 2012 , the progress achieved by ukraine in six months is quite noticeable, especially taking into account the fact that that the war continues like this. when, after all, can ukraine count on the start of negotiations on joining the european union, and where kyiv still shows unwillingness to comply with the recommendations of brussels, let's talk about it now. issues of european integration in the bathroom. my congratulations. congratulations. prime minister denys shmygal said that by the end of the 23rd year, ukraine wants to be ready for negotiations and by the 24th it wants to be ready for eu membership how realistic is it objectively? i think that the ambitious goal of opening negotiations as early as 2023, that is, at the end of this year, based on a positive assessment

of our fulfillment of the seven conditions that accompanied the decision on candidacy, is an achievable goal, but it implies well, i would say for 110% fulfillment of each item from those conditions that provided for the decision on candidate status , eh, this is not what i am talking about as a representative of the committee on integration of ukraine or the head of the european union or the head of this committee, but they are talking about it our partners who even our great friends from within the european union who all the time emphasize when we will evaluate you in the fall in uh we have to consider whether the glass is not just half empty or full because it is full enough or spills to the top therefore it means 110%. it may be difficult to implement, but it is absolutely

realistic regarding the 24th year and the fact that we can do everything necessary for joining the european union. i am sorry to admit that these are such statements. they simply indicate the lack of understanding by the head of the government of the volume of tasks facing ukraine in order to be able to apply for full membership in the european union, it seems to me that the government official will have to do additional homework on studying the homework, that is, actually the same denys myhal he just mentioned seven conditions, etc. he just said that these seven points of the european commission's recommendations have either already been implemented or are in the process of being implemented . yes, do you agree with the prime minister or not ? no, i do not agree, because indeed they all are in the process of implementation, but none of these conditions have been fulfilled, and it must be admitted honestly, and i am sorry to hear that the speaker of the parliament of ukraine is talking about the fact that

the verkhovna rada of ukraine has fulfilled everything that depended on it , all the bills that were needed to fulfill the conditions themselves this is simply not true and i believe that in the time of such a bloody full-scale war that we are currently going through we have no right this is so frankly uh not to negotiate i 'm looking for diplomatic words or to tell a lie ukrainian society deserves the fact that we are honest with ourselves in front of ukrainian society, that's why every unfortunately, not a single condition has yet been fulfilled in some, even compared to how we started to move, a certain regression is already visible, in particular, the issue of, let's say, the selection of judges by the way, the decision of our committee, which insisted that we still need to finalize and take into account all the recommendations of the venice commission

, was adopted by the verkhovna rada despite this caveat signed by the president of ukraine, it was even announced that the selection tour for the positions of judges of the constitutional court and only after the venice commission declared that it would not send its international experts there but to this selection commission well , then there were already statements saying that we would do it correct. i think we have no right . it's so easy to constantly step on some kind of rake and bang our foreheads against the acceleration wall, when we can not only focus on speed from the first time, but we can also focus on quality, and this is fundamentally a thing now, and the speed and quality of homework performance. it depends on this whether we will be able to achieve the ambitious goal of opening negotiations or, ah , persistently and convincingly talk about the opening of victory-negotiations at the end of this year. the viewers who watch us regularly

know for sure that we raised the issue of the selection of judges of the constitutional court very often for the sake of justice, i have to say here that probably every ukrainian president had the weakness to somehow make the constitutional court dependent on him and it is obvious vulytsia bankova and volodymyr zelenskyi also have this weakness, as anti-corruption experts say, but you mentioned the constitutional court of ukraine so far does not make concessions and does not implement the recommendations of the venice commission. objective reasons, war , something is possible, it cannot be done right now and quickly, but from your point of view, kyiv does not want to fulfill the requirements of the european union for political reasons . well, i would like to believe that after all, kyiv not only declares its readiness and not only declares its readiness and sincerely wishes to fulfill these seven conditions, and they are quite

complex, these conditions are, by the way, one of them that now depends on the implementation of which depends purely on the european side because the european side has not yet gave ukraine, for example, its comments and proposals to the law on the so-called deoligarchization, and only after receiving some kind of feedback from the european side, in particular from the venice commission, we will be able to carry out this task. but there are those things that concern the judicial systems of anti-corruption e-e selection, for example, of candidates. and now the appointment of the head of the national anti-corruption bureau, and despite the fact that this competition is taking place now and everyone is closely watching how well it will be conducted, i am worried, for example, the statement literally a few days ago, the statement again by government officials who say that they say we met with these representatives of the commission. god, we want

to speed up the selection of the manager. to me, it looks like pressure on the representatives of the commission, and again, the speed should be eh. well, you hand in hand, simply together with the quality, er, we are under a big magnifying glass at the moment, there is also the issue of, say, the approval of the anti-corruption program, er , the anti-corruption strategy was approved by the verkhovna rada of ukraine, and then the government delayed the approval of the anti-corruption program for quite a long time, it needs to be worked out. well, yes it is not entirely reasonable in my opinion, and only that it was approaching itself from forced the government officials to return to the consideration of this program literally or changed the day themselves to consider it on the government committees and as far as i understand, somewhere even today in the interval between er

meetings themselves and er with a possible short break it could have even been considered by the government itself, but i don’t know what happened. well, you know such things. it is a shame that we are doing something like this for a report to the summit, but on the other hand, it is good when there is such a stimulus and we use this stimulus in order to really move in the transformation of the country, this alone is worth the numerous searches and suspicions on the eve of the european union itself kyiv eu ukraine is not saying that either. you know everything. searches are very good. suspicions are also very good. but for sure. all our partners will carefully follow what will end. what will be the court verdicts or will these cases be proven? before court verdicts, how fair will the decisions that will be made

be? this is precisely the biggest such test that we will have to pass in the near future , the actual test for the capacity, institutional independence, and morality of the institutions. if you want. well, on democracy repeatedly during uh, well, around . let's say it ourselves, the same. the european parliament passed a resolution in support of ukraine, and obviously the european parliament is constantly acting as a leader in the formation of the political framework of support for ukraine. we appreciate it very much , but honestly they directly said that the authorities should be responsible for this sacrifice of ukrainian society and the courage of ukrainian society and that it is important that the authorities ensure that it is provided

and freedom of speech and pluralism and the diversity of opinions in the parliamentary hall of the verkhovna rada of ukraine and the independence of the judicial branch of power and the independence of anti-corruption institutions, so we will continue to monitor this noise surrounding a large number of anti-corruption cases. court decisions, thank you very much ivanna klympush-tensadze, people 's deputy, head of the committee on european integration, we talked about today's ukraine eu summit, thank you very much, thank you very much, the number of beaten and wounded russians the number of military personnel in ukraine is approaching 200,000. this is reported by the new york times with reference to officials of the usa and other western countries. this is eight times more than the losses of americans in the two decades of the war in afghanistan. zabahmut, where the fiercest battles for the capture of the city have been going on for several months, which

moscow considers as the key to the capture of the entire eastern donbas, russia is using poorly trained recruits and former prisoners recent articles written by the york times in russian are generally considered expendable by the ministry of defense, this is literally a quote, while the publication notes that human losses are unlikely to become a deterrent for vladimir putin's military goals, since moscow desperately needs a great victory , this is also a quote. and does the russian people need this greatest victory at the cost of their own life is not a secret to give the idea of ​​war to one's people, the russian authorities systematically draw parallels between the war in ukraine and the second world war well, for example, the day before vladimir putin came to volgograd , where the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of the victory in the battle of stalingrad continued. in his speech, he said that russia is threatening russia again. german tanks with crosses on board are again threatening russia. this is how he commented on the transfer of leopards to kiev. thousands of people lined up on

the streets of volgograd and flew over them. airplanes flew past them, modern tanks and armored vehicles of the second world war , some cars had a letter painted in the symbol used by the russian troops in ukraine, and so some people who came to this event, which we are now showing, they see parallels between the russian invasion of ukraine and the second world war, russian propaganda is working, our country is fighting for justice, for freedom, and in 42 we won a victory in our time for the current pc lines, and i think that

we will also win. and now , in order for us not to have any misfortunes, our country is not attacked. we must protect her, i held a meeting in the kindergarten, i asked the children a serious question, and then the second one was surprised herself. the family will be protected more and more, there should be no war on earth , they can’t have money, they don’t benefit from ideology, nothing , we are with you, here we stand, we are different states, the family will be protected, everything, well, russia is there, the family is protected well, tell me if we are protecting people, who are we

we clean it from someone from fascism. it turns out. it turns out that undiluted fascism is an ideology. well, there are a lot of critics , and they are probably right about the fact that the government does not work effectively enough to bring down this evil. can enjoy the freedom and equality of peoples in the world here, so they must be deprived of it, we have everything, well, so that people support the military here, swearing is done

in this situation, we began to protect people kherson's donbas, we also help people, we will help, justice will win, literally just now one of these women in volgograd, who came to the parade, said about it, well, obviously the russian government is striving for exactly this, or as many russian citizens as possible considered the war in ukraine a war for justice, because it is in some way measure is the key to preserving the regime for vladimir putin , we will talk about the mood in russian society a year after a full-scale war , kyrylo martynov joins the broadcast , editor-in-chief of nova gazeta europe, kyryll hello, literally today, your publication wrote that the generals are ready to put tens of thousands of soldiers to the ground. i understand that you are also following this topic, and the next stage of the offensive is also being predicted at any price. yes , of course, we are behind this topic. we really follow today we had an important publication of one of our colleagues, we managed to get such a serious conversation with the russian military , i use my a-a old connection and there

it is important not only that the russian military they confirm that this offensive is being prepared, but also that these military personnel at a fairly high level are very skeptical about how this entry is being prepared and about the prospects for its success, and they are satisfied, it seems to me. ukraine is fully equipped and has sufficiently good, high-precision weapons . the movement of the russian general staff initiated by putin, they will be suicide for the russian army . well, then let's talk about the moods .

russian invasion of ukraine, this is a war that has been going on for an hour with all the consequences , murder of civilians, children , torture, looting, war for justice. how many people agree with the fact that this is very similar to the second world war, you know it seems to me that the honest answer to this question is that, uh, quite a lot of people consider this a war for justice , but it seems to me that there may be such russians, maybe even a little. more , it seems to me that at the same time it is necessary to understand that it is far from everything there are those who believe that this is such a kind of justice , not all of them support the continuation of the war, there may already be everyone's point of view, as if enough of the struggle for justice has already happened, and at some stage, eh, it's possible to do something else and stop and when it comes to justice in putin's understanding, it seems to me that there is such a mechanism of psychological protection working here , when people explain why

russia is invading another country, why are people dying on both sides, why? well, the usual people's lives are getting worse as a result of all this, er, they come up with some kind of explanation that allows er, with this tragedy , how do you get along with this hack? because of what they attacked another country for no reason, yes, this is kind of a heavy confession, not far. not everyone can make such a confession, and not all people are ready to think about it in such terms, by and large , so it is necessary to think about it. then psychological protection is necessary. he believes that in the main we were probably right. but this does not mean that such a situation of the issue is a mandatory characteristic of ardent supporters of the war who want it to continue well. and if

you analyze the mood in russia, here at the beginning of the invasion and now, an hour later, this is how it changed, this is your observation. you know, there are a lot of changes and quite complex dynamics, many factors, first of all, the russians did not want a war, not this war, that is, i did not see any, you know, mass demonstrations in support of the war. once in the past march putin putin was chased out of the stadium from students and budget cafes . in the russian regions, it is rare, it is some kind of private private symbols of the war. when someone hangs a new russian swastika on a car, this is all far from it, and it has not been used since the very beginning of the war. the trunks of the people believed that at the beginning of the war, that if putin decided so and if well, no matter how inevitable, they cannot influence it, that is, it must be somehow used and most likely russia will quickly win and then everything will be, um, everything will be as it was february 23 we will be back
