[000:00:00;00] in order to ensure your future, the future of your people, your children, in order to defend the rights and values , right, not life , and european values, such as freedom, dignity, democracy . we have to work in three directions in the nearest way and after these three directions which i am talking about i will give the floor i think the next weeks will be decisive and because of that we need to remain

united and soberly we need to provide maximum support for military directions, first of all, in the military direction, we have already talked in kyiv and with the president in the helicopter with you what will you do and conduct operational activities at which and you will participate in order for you to receive the maximum number of weapons, this will also be anti-aircraft systems - it will be tanks, it will also be other military equipment - this is the first and second , you are with us now in order to promote the peace formula and we wanted to show you clearly and openly that we support your initiative

for that that the un charter and international law there were no compromises, this is a political battle. we want to soon hold a summit for the sake of peace . it will be very important in order to send the right message to the world and to defend international law. a few days ago in kyiv , you made a choice, the choice of the ukrainian people , a sovereign choice that we heard on the maidan . this is a choice in favor of freedom and democracy and the eu

, and after the beginning of this full-scale mysterious war, you submitted an application to become ukraine's candidate for it with and um this application was accepted was hidden and after that you very bravely and courageously continue to implement er and use to implement reforms and er you fulfill our recommendations despite the war and i i will personally monitor this process so that the european commission continues to monitor your progress on this path. therefore, political military support is political support in the process of

eu expansion. and i want to say that the eu in its unity will not be shaken and we will put pressure on the kremlin and additional sanctions are now being prepared, we are preparing 10 sanctions, we will do everything to make them firm , to be consistent, and to bring the perpetrators of crimes of aggression to justice in order to to prepare the possibility of justice and justice in the world and we will do everything in order to mobilize justice and in particular we will use

the lever of blocking russian assets and freezing of russian assets and the end, mr. zelenskyi, you said you quoted our founding fathers of the european union, you obviously quoted those who dreamed of a united europe, and i remember that it was on the scene of the tragedy of two world wars, and our parents, our grandfathers, experienced this tragedy, and they dreamed of a peaceful europe and a prosperous europe today, our generation, your generation , together side by side, face a context with a situation where you need to act decisively in order

to guarantee peace and in order to to ensure prosperity and this is what we are laying the foundation of the life of our future for future generations and the last thing i want to say here is brussels when these words were heard in kyiv and the european union is ukraine ukraine is the european union in europe our common home and we will all do for of this glory to ukraine glory to the heroes glory to europe thank you very much for your words dear mr. president of the european council charles dear mrs. president of the european commission dear dear

present dear journalists today is the 351st day of this war and today in brussels in honor to the ukrainian people, in honor of our state, ukrainian warriors, our national anthem and words of support for ukraine, for ukraine that is fighting, that will be able to defend its independence, our common european freedom , mr. president charles, i thank you for the invitation to participate in the meeting of the european council, and this is absolutely i think fair that ukraine traditionally participates in the meetings of the leaders of the european union , the ukrainian language is heard in the discussions of the presidents of the heads of governments of the european union

, the ukrainian language is heard in the european parliament and this has already been ensured and we will make it part of the usual european practice. when ukraine becomes a member of the european union , mr. presidentenko ursola, i thank you for the recent joint work of the government of ukraine and the european commission in kyiv in our country, where we discussed not only our defense issues , but also our future, discussed our the movement of our integration, that is, our real life, it is the protection of those things that ensure a normal life for ukrainians. i am sure that for all europeans, it has just ended, especially for the leaders, euhegetic peace in europe is becoming only when ukraine wins and becomes a member of the eu and nato, this is the kind of unity. today we managed to build unity in the fact that the european

union will be with us and ukraine until the victory of ukraine, and ukraine will be in the european union . talks in brussels, our talks today were quite specific about what gives security. about what protects life about what guarantees stability about what restores justice and all this fully corresponds to both ukrainian and european interests a simple example we talked about this today ukraine exported electricity to european the union is making your energy market and therefore your social life and the well-being of europe but russia occupied and disconnected from the network our largest nuclear power plant, the zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, this is a specific violation of your interests, yes, values, but interests, the same

can be said about each of the elements of russian aggression, they deliberately b' they are going around ukraine, on the ukrainian economy, in our cities, so that it would be so, they are doing it so that it would be for all europeans, and we thank you for the received ppp systems, but in the interests of all of us and ukrainians and all of europe so that russia cannot make new missiles so that the aggressor cannot hit our cities again. therefore, we need to take one more step and introduce sanctions against the entire missile and drone industry of russia against that part of their it industry that provides this terror, russian terror, then we will be able to remove the source dangers, to significantly reduce the number of destructions and this will be a reliable defense of ukraine and the whole of europe, and

i am certainly most inspired by the words that europe will be with us until victory. i heard today from the leaders of the wild states. i am grateful to have heard from the leaders of some european countries that they are willing to provide us with the necessary weapons, including airplanes, and now i will have a series of bilateral meetings with the children of combat aviation, we will determine the necessary attention, so we continue now and then here in brussels and i want to thank you all to all of you for e-e to all citizens of the european union for help for treatment of our people for shelter for our people for ukrainians who saved themselves

saved their children from hostilities millions of our citizens and millions of citizens of the european union have now seen, thanks to this support, that the european values ​​we share with you are really working. i thank you for everything. thank you, friends. this is the only way i can address you, friends. thank you, glory to ukraine . thank you very much, mr. president, dear volodymyr . thank you very much for coming to my heart. of the european union thank you for the strong message , as we heard from you, your struggle is a struggle for independence, democracy, for a free

are fighting for our common values ​​to live and we understand that we will never be able to thank you for all these terrible sacrifices, but we can support you with 67 billion 67 billion euros in the last 12 months in order to support your armed forces, humanitarian aid, more expensively, to support refugees, and so on we have to do more, this is urgent. we heard your words today and we have to do more, we understand that ukraine must win this war and we believe in peace, this peace must be fair, we fully

support your peace formula dear volodymyr, the eu is working with its partners to implement all these 10 points from the energy point of view, from the food point of view, and from the point of view of danger, and that we will always work hard to ensure this support. a just world is also a responsibility and in this my friend has a question, russia has to pay a price for all this blood and what it has spilled, the next steps are we preparing the 10th package of sanctions, first of all, we aim at these sanctions against political leaders and

also vladimir is your thoughts last week when you were in kyiv we will also punish putin's propagandists because they are doing terrible things both in russia and abroad, secondly, we will introduce additional restrictions into the package to deprive russia of er another ten billion moves and this will deprive er of resources for the russian er military machine three directions here we collect and er document crimes and the military has crimes - evidence of military crimes - crimes secondly we

we are creating a special center in the hague and the next step is the creation of a court, and here we are discussing the specific structure of this body, but i am sure that we have the political will to bring to justice all those who committed crimes of aggression. for our future, ukrainian youth is fighting for their country, a large number have already fallen, but they fell in battle on the battlefield, but they still have a dream, a dream for a free, free

, democratic country and a green country. and that's why we now we have created a platform for the reconstruction of life must continue, part of our efforts in particular is focused on opening our center in kyiv with 40 experts from free to venice 36 cities from free everything to venice and will unite in order to provide our expertise and support in order to feed the country and we understand that not only we are politicians a and b every e-e every citizen of the eu is ready to support ukraine

advancing on its way to e-e to e-e joining the eu - it is the process and the results your work has shown that you are capable of working quickly. very high-quality work, even when you are fighting against an aggressor, even in war conditions . i hear how ukrainians talk about their dreams . hope, they dream about becoming a part of the eu and i really hope that this will happen, dear volodymyr we are building this future, now we may have a long way ahead of us. difficult, difficult, but know that we will stay with you at every step. let's make the dreams of ukrainians a

reality. and when i started my mandate, i always finished every speech with the words yes, long live europe, and it has been 12 months since i graduated glory to ukraine, i say, madam president, first a few questions, first about ukrainian work, please zoryana, you have a question from radio svoboda good day to everyone , my first question is in ukrainian to the ukrainian president, if she is against it, i will switch to the ukrainian language we saw the results of your visits of your visit to london to great britain after that the british prime minister announced that training for ukrainian pilots was being launched so that at the moment

when ukraine would potentially receive fighter jets caught them, so to speak, by surprise, accordingly, it was a specific decision, a specific announcement, when you met in paris with the german chancellor and the french president , no such specific decisions were sounded, respectively , i would like to update this, they did not sound publicly, and they are in fact, if they are, i would like to ask you to share these solutions with us and you already had a corresponding meeting with all 20 seven leaders of the eu member states as well as the heads of the european institutions and your priority of the trip here was to ensure accordingly a breakthrough solution i.e. for ukraine to receive

long-range weapons and fighter jets. how close is ukraine to this now and has it become closer ? we are talking about the future membership of ukraine in the european union, as far as we know, the first official assessment of the fulfillment of the criteria should be released at the end of the 23rd year, and ukraine hopes that decisions can be made that negotiations on the accession of ukraine will begin at the end of this year. in your opinion, is it possible to open these negotiations in the 23rd year, or is it possible in addition to add new criteria to these seven criteria ? thank you. that

the visit to london was productive and we came close to the decision regarding long-range weapons and the training of our pilots. this is really some way to supply the fighters that we need. who remained behind the scenes, they are positive . and when it appears in our country, our country will know about it . i don't want to fully prepare the russian federation, which daily threatens aggression and revengeful attitudes on the field, with regard to paris and the meeting with the president and the chancellor, according to the states of france and germany, we had, i think, a very powerful

meeting, very important, i perceive it positively and, let's say, a lot about the specifics, i also don't want to formulate publicly now, i will say. so, we worked on strengthening our capabilities in the direction of offensive actions, we are talking about armored vehicles and we are talking about tanks, i received a positive result from our meeting regarding the 28 leaders, in addition to everything, we should also know that britain and france and all 27 countries and the european union and the leadership and society of the european union as a whole deserve great gratitude from our state, and that is one of the reasons why i am here , i must thank you for everything that has been said, for all

those numbers that were not just named now, but that specifically supported our people , the society of our immigrants was forced displaced persons, our economy, and in general, all this is support for the stability of our state, and stability is the army, the army is a victory, you and i do not see any other result, and thank god, there are other meetings regarding the results of the meeting with all the leaders, which meetings i held, but we will have more ahead of us

many bilateral meetings. we are working today . thank you. the second expansion of the european union. i am absolutely sure that we have already seen in recent months , in the last week, ukraine is demonstrating the possibility of meeting extraordinary criteria and moving forward. we know what will happen in the next weeks and months. ukraine will continue to implement reforms . the council of europe must make a decision on the following decisions by the end of the year, the commission is very actively working with the ukrainian government, and according to how progress is going, all the steps, of course, all the steps to membership, but when the southern question is seven steps and no more, how do i answer this question and it is very positive to see how professional ukraine is

moving forward with high-quality reforms and working on the implementation of these steps itself , for example, this is the adoption of an anti-corruption strategy - this is a new law according to the press all separate steps. these are very important steps. there is still a lot to be done, but it is important to understand that there are no clearly prescribed deadlines. this process just depends on the country of the candidate. how quickly these steps can be achieved , of course, there will be a verbal report in the spring, but the main task is to show what progress there will be in the reforms. well, of course, it will be very important in the fall, a big report on enlargement is our common goal, of course the commission supports ukraine as soon as we can , and i think it is very important that we now have

a secretariat in brussels and in kyiv because it was obvious from the very beginning that when we are going to move forward now, you know, we are doing it to work on revival, because of course these investments must also work together with the reforms that pave the way closer to the european union elizaveta from ukrainofo please good afternoon, colleagues, i will switch to the ukrainian language volodymyr oleksandrovych, we wanted to ask you a question about our armed forces of ukraine against the background of the armed forces of our servicemen e.e. volunteer work e.e. close cooperation with the european parliament with the european by the way, unfortunately, not the whole country, not the all-ukrainian

society, feel this state of war , men of conscription age sometimes look for ways to evade service , entertainment facilities work very well. bakhmut other directions they are hellish would like to ask you when the whole country and the whole society together with the armed forces of ukraine will go into this military state i apologize thank you for the question well it seems to me that it is not necessary to mix everything and it is very difficult to fight for so long and here is great gratitude to the soldiers and not only to the soldiers, those who are on the front

line, but first of all to those who give their lives, but also to all those who fight within the state at their workplaces, because it is necessary to support the army and the workplaces of people must work, pay taxes, that is, that is why , of course, people are people and there are people who are tired of living in such a direction . mountains in the family well, simply
