necessary . in order to get a good rating, we could already start negotiations about their accession to the eu , so i am sure that in relation to the case, we will also find a solution that will meet all the recommendations, we also talked about restoration of ukraine as one of the options for financing frozen russian assets, however, how to legally use them has not yet been decided - says commissioner for financial services merit mcguinness, we have never done anything so deep and wide, we really freeze as much money of oligarchs as we can find the question of withdrawing these funds this is different. of course we are looking for legal ways to link this money to crime and we will bring to justice across europe anyone who tries to circumvent our sanctions. at the end of the meeting, the head of the european commission, ursova von der lajen, said that a center for the prosecution of russian crimes is being created in the hague, and on the anniversary of the start of a large-scale war

will tell more about the fulfillment of the requirements of the european union together with the status of the candidate in the summer on the 22nd, ukraine also received recommendations on how to get closer to the eu without them, the next stage of negotiations on joining the union is impossible , the pace of european integration after a full-scale invasion was a record, says the representative of ukraine, everything was fine, and ukraine planned to complete all seven tasks by the end of last year. unique. that is to say, we essentially squeezed into this year what the state has been doing there for years or decades. it finally became clear that ukraine is a value for the european union for europe. everything failed, but ukraine received almost 6 points out of 10 for the implementation of the sichov reforms expert assessment of ukrainian analysts on the eve of the ukraine eu summit of ukraine in general ukraine is on the right path on a positive track of course there is still a lot to be done and there are many undercurrents and obstacles but we see what is this consensus in principle

, both political and social, which is very important in order for the process of accession to the eu to take place in general, so far none of the seven years has the country fully fulfilled the joint evidence the research of the new europe center and a number of partner analytical centers that systematically investigate progress in european integration, the document states the best progress currently . in the legislation on the media and national minorities, there are recommended laws. er, another law is currently being developed on advertising, it will be adopted in the near future, and thus we will close the sixth recommendation, and there is a good percentage of implementation in the seventh recommendation as well regarding national minorities , judicial reform and the fight against corruption were identified as the highest priorities in the eu in july ukraine appointed the head of the specialized

anti-corruption prosecutor's office, but there is still no head of the national anti-corruption bureau regarding judicial reform, the supreme council of justice resumed its work, but the supreme council passed the law on the reform of the constitutional court, contrary to the exhibition of the venice commission, which stated that this change does not meet eu criteria, but in fact these are not critical comments that cannot be resolved, they are 100% solvable depends on the desire of the government, and it has it because the government needs success on the way to european integration, what can be shown is that we are working, there are concrete results, but the anatolian reform has stalled due to the lack of an exhibition by the special commission, which since the 21st year is the speed reforms were also influenced by the war - says the experts of the european council of international relations, angela shamorina, of course, the war is a big obstacle, because you cannot throw away all efforts to close the criteria

and carry out the reforms that are necessary to the country has moved closer to the eu, what is happening in ukraine currently, to some extent, it is a struggle for existence, when there is a war, there is little time left to deal with the point about environmental protection, for example, but reforms in the field of the rule of law are always necessary because they are useful for the country itself, and this is actually the main thing the reason why they should be implemented, this means the fulfillment of the mentioned seven points that ukraine will already be able to start negotiations on accession no, but they are a condition for further european integration in the spring, the eu can announce new wishes during the interim and in the fall during the main assessment of ukraine's progress on the way to membership in the european union olena kurenkova vladyslav kravets public news ukraine may well become a member of the eu in two years , according to the chairman of the european council charm-michel he said this in an exclusive interview with the public in his words, ukraine needs a strong political will to implement the necessary

reforms, including judicial reforms, that is, i think that the priority is connected with reforms aimed at strengthening democratic institutions, especially the rule of law the fight against corruption, the independence of the judicial system - these are the fundamental conditions for joining the european union . direction, so i am sure that in the coming months the commission will be able to present some of them. i hope that this will be useful in order to take additional steps. the council of judges of ukraine did not remove the representative of the advisory group of experts who must select judges of the constitutional court, none of the three candidates received the required number of votes, now the council of judges has announced a re-competition it must be held by february 20, by the way, a group of experts was created as part of the reform of the constitutional

court, this is one of the seven requirements for ukraine's accession to the european union after the adoption of a new the venice commission called for the new law to be changed, what is wrong with it, as nikita halka will be selected according to the new procedure, the constitutional court of ukraine , the body that checks laws for compliance, will tell constitution decisions are adopted by a majority of votes by 18 judges who are appointed for 9 years. previously , they were elected like this: six judges were appointed by the parliament, six by the president, and another six by the congress of judges of ukraine. "there is another link to the council, a group of experts, from now on it will additionally check and filter out candidates, and the parliament, the president or the congress of judges will have to choose the best of the best and appoint him before the council

the judges were allegedly checked by the parliamentary committee in its own way by the president, and the commission also does not know how it was checked if we did not have a problem with the constitutional court eh , then we would not be involved in this in our country every president and every political force that has a majority in the parliament appoint their people there, candidates will be recommended by six experts. three of them are representatives of international european organizations and one representative each from the president's parliament and the congress of judges so that the candidate submits this stage at least four votes must be cast for him after the signing of the new law, the venice commission refused to delegate its representatives it demands the addition of a seventh expert appointed by international organizations because it believes that if there are equal votes, there are risks of blocking honest candidates, decisions cannot be made without the consent of the appointees from the president of the parliament of the congress of judges because any decision will be approved only when they want it , the co-author of the new law, denys maslov, explains

that if there are equal votes, international experts will be able to block any candidate. if there are more international experts than national experts, this is a threat to the sovereignty of the state, says the deputy of no composition, i don't even know where the judges of the constitutional court were elected, especially the representatives of non-national subjects who made the exact decision who this commission chose him no, he is not obliged to, he can , the new competition, the new procedure has another gap, barko says, according to the law, the expert evaluates candidates to the ksu according to two criteria: high moral qualities and

competence in the field of law, each candidate is given grades, the most suitable or not suitable according to the constitution, the candidate who has a grade not suitable for the level of competence should be eliminated from the competition and not sit in a chair in the court of the treasury, but in ukrainian law, everything is a little wrong if no candidate who received from the advisory group of experts , the assessment meets the criteria of the recognized level of competence in the field of law. but behind the windows he says, “let’s answer those too” and suddenly they find the votes on them and here. imagine that there are votes on them and then we have a judge of the constitutional court who does not meet the requirements of the law. and the commission created by the law is absurd, moreover, it actually contradicts the constitution according to in the words of denys masov - this provision was adopted at the request of the european commission, and it changed its recommendations because they did not delegate experts to the tsitsik commission, the law will have to be

changed, says the deputy, but this decision will be adopted after zamitox ukraine, the eu is a law in this regard, it works with regard to the selection of courts, the constitutional court cannot, in any case, adopt certain changes to the law nikita galka oleksandr tyminsky public news active struggle for membership of the european community ukrainian started at the end of 2013, on november 21, students took to the streets after the refusal of the then president yanukovych to sign the association with the eu peaceful protest on the relay of confrontation by security forces already in february 2014 in the center of kyiv, more than 100 people died protesters, however, everything motivated people to go to the maidan nine years ago

. how did the lives of the participants of the protests turn out and what do they think about the possibility of ukraine's membership in the eu ? it seemed that this kind of thing has been happening for years with the students of the kyiv-mohyla academy at the euromaidan in 2013, at that time pavlo was studying in the second year of the faculty of economic sciences . on november 21, when the azarov government announced that ukraine would not sign the association agreement from the eu says they came out to protest, for me it was more like a refusal to integrate, and more like a sign that we will be russia and i, and i have like two axis emotions that someone has decided for me and what actually i don't want to survive, including in which russian society is it, i wrote the type that i am calling to go to the maidan, the security forces did not allow me to bet on what caused the first clashes to kyiv, people from

different regions are coming to kyiv among the protesters on the euromaidan, and darka girna says that in the summer of 2013 in the united states of america, she hesitated whether to return to ukraine because america was a dream, the only thing that convinced me to return was the euro-atlantic course declared by the government led by yanukovych, and i remember very well that when he did not sign this association with the eu, for me it was actually personally, it was a big drama because i really hoped that ukraine would follow the european path at that time. darka was studying in the fourth year of the ukrainian catholic university. she came from lviv to the maidan in kyiv with her friends. it was a very judicial decision to actually go to the maidan and that was it. a turning point for me. for my personal evolution. then i realized that i want to stay here. i want to live here. i want to work for this country. on november 28

, 2013, students announced a general strike . the next day , yanukovych did not sign the association agreement. students from the maidan, according to the general prosecutor's office, 79 people were injured. on december 1, people once again came out with their eyelashes and began storming the presidential administration. and in a week , a march of millions took place in kyiv after the revolution in 2014, pavlo went to work for the non-governmental organization protection of patriots. then he worked as an adviser to the minister of health. he became a member of the movement who ordered the murder of katya handzyuk and took part in rallies in support of serhii sternenko. he was engaged in the production of radio division podcasts for three years and from the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the production studio turned into a volunteer team, at first they made molotov cocktails, they collected things for tactical medicine, later drones

, optics, thermal imagers, this is the main thing, these are drones in which we are collecting thermal imagers, european integration is about becoming a member of the european union, it will take one year. i think that now it is false , that in a year we will be in the eu, well, this is populism, which you should not buy and you need to regulate your expectations, well, actually, i think that we need to leave now with some real benefit, that is, if it will bring us security , economic inclusion in the process, better efficiency of public sector work, then finally, the class received an education as a journalist , worked at the public and public now he is working on his own youtube project, the face of independence, in particular, he created a selection of the history of ukrainian political prisoners of the communist regime, he says he cannot imagine ukraine
