[000:00:00;00] at the debate in the european parliament, so her interview continues. who is such a strong advocate of ukraine within the walls of the european parliament with very such tough and clear positions eh good day mrs. von kramen of ukraine, the european commission provided a certain assessment of the fulfillment of the criteria for membership in the media, we now have a detailed analysis and comparing these scores with other candidate countries and we see that, for example , turkey has a significantly higher score in accordance with the criteria, the ukrainian prime minister said that he wants our country to gain membership in two years, and when you look at these the results - it looks, well, impossible, what do you think about this matter, how quickly

can ukraine become a member of the eu, first of all, we must not forget that turkey took a course towards the eu , it seems, back in the 60s, for more than 50 years, turkey had the opportunity to work on this in the conditions without war received the candidate status in june ukraine is still in a state of war a very difficult brutal bloody war and this whole process of meeting the criteria it is very technical it requires a lot of effort a lot of human resources are needed to revise all the legislative acts vote laws make sure they are implemented ensure institutions are launched recruit people and so on you can't do it in six months it's impossible the shortest membership negotiations were in finland it's a small country not corrupt and

with a good government and it took them three and a half years ago i think it is obvious that it is simply impossible for ukraine in the conditions in which you are currently living to promise people to give them expectations. that ukraine will be a member in two years is not realistic. even if we wanted it not it would be possible to do so how should i better say ukraine will do everything possible and then there will be the next assessment yes ukraine will become a member of the eu i think everyone understands this and most people support everything but before the start of negotiations i have some time and this is not something against ukraine it is based on this on the merits and racing look ate mentioned corruption without knowing whether these news from ukraine reached the european parliament or not about certain schemes regarding the purchase of food for the army what was the reaction here on the sidelines i think many

of us expect that the ukrainian government and everyone who has a responsibility to treat these cases very seriously, that they understand that if these cases of corruption continue to spread, it can kill support here , the parliament thinks everyone is very ideological of course we have to protect taxpayers' money , public opinion, people in member countries they must be sure that their money is invested in a transparent accountability structure and so that we can see where the money goes, so it is our responsibility in the parliament of the european commission and other institutions to ensure a transparent procedure and this should be in the interests of the ukrainian government ukrainian civil society and it is also in our interests, but in general , i would not say that this corruption case completely destroyed trust, no, but we need to make sure that this was the last time during the war, everything would be fine. please tell me about my position on granting ukraine the status of

a candidate for a member of the security council. i found your quote. last year in june , you said that this decision is a good decision. i quote, it is very cheap to grant the status of a candidate to a geopolitically tense situation. the latest development of the situation and if this is not what should be done then no no thank you for the question in my opinion it is important to have a number of measures to help if you carefully study the security and military situation in ukraine then in my opinion the first priority should be weapons so for me the question is not it depends on how correct these or other decisions are. i believe that we need weapons, money, humanitarian aid, justice, of course, we also need a medium-term perspective of european integration , especially if we talk about the reconstruction stage and from the structure of ukraine, the stage of reforming ukraine, of course, proper integration is needed there, and that is why we need

eu candidate status, so you mean that it was your disappointment about the insufficient supply of weapons. that is how i think it is very easy to say. at the same time, it is time to make insufficient efforts for the supply of weapons, tanks, leopard offensive weapons, and so on. i knew that this decision was important , especially for the population, but on the other hand. at that moment, the most important goal was the supply of weapons to many negotiators in the processes here there are sudin among the main votes was the voice of germany, we see it now when we talk about tanks, how long did it take to reach this decision and again your quote because of germany's past policy towards russia europe is going through a crisis that is partly connected with the bought elites in german politics in your opinion, how important is the fact that

the former chancellor angela merkel does not recognize this responsibility for maintaining such relations with russia, or do you think that if she took the blame, it would also change the opinion in society and the decision somewhat regarding the tanks, it would be easier, in my opinion, it was a huge mistake to continue the so-called oz policy and these special relations. she really believed in this idea that security is possible only with russia without confronting russia and treating it as an opponent, an enemy of ukraine and democratic ideas. if she started to analyze this is much earlier i think we could have avoided this new invasion of ukraine so i think it happened partly because the german elites were bought by big russian companies like gazprom etc. gazprom sponsored football clubs in germany bought all our gas storage facilities, a lot of infrastructure, but also people from the other side think that merkel and her team

believed in the idea that special cooperation with russia should be maintained. but is there an understanding in society that germany has partially invested in this game, i think this percentage is still very small. i personally receive an apology from some people who said that russia will never attack ukraine. admit that they were wrong, which is normal, but as far as society or political elites are concerned, to say sorry, it was a huge mistake to agree to nord stream-2 , to increase our dependence on russian oil, gas and other resources . no, i have not heard such a thing, for example. former chancellor schröder merkel is not so

clear in his messages, what is the reason for this in your opinion, it is difficult in our opinion if you have believed in a conceptual idea for decades , it is extremely difficult to change course, but in some moment, i think those who were in power had a responsibility to admit that this deepening of relations with russia did not help ukraine, but rather caused harm and also put european security at risk, but the situation is definitely changing, you see how we increased our defense budget, how the attitude towards russia is changing, to what extent we strongly support ukraine and will continue to support it. thank you for all your support for ukraine and for this conversation. thank you for inviting me, and then there is the story about the village of bakhmut, women svitlana didenko and valeriya svistunova they left the city in the summer of last year, when

it became more and more dangerous in bakhmut, and now they do not miss any news about their native land, they dream that soon such a city will return home, a beautiful city for me in the world , because i have not seen such a city, even let's say in our donetsk region, clean the neat green in the roses will remain in memory . that's how svitlana didenko remembers the city where she was born and lived almost all her life . nowadays, the bakhmut fortress looks like this, let's not recognize it, that is, there is not a single house that it didn’t touch any of my parents. just two weeks ago , it was most likely hit by a coin projectile, and all that was inside was burned . everything to my parents, who are already retired, will not return anywhere, and we, too, will not

return anywhere from our fifth-floor apartment. and there, of course, the spans have already been completed, well, the hull stands where if it is already broken, there is nowhere to return to valeria, the village near bakhmutov , in which she lived with her family, is now occupied, and before that, the invaders completely destroyed it. already under occupation and there is nothing, no houses , nothing at all, that is, they saw a photo from a drone, just a field at least the kitchen will remain there, or something so that later when everything is free, they will be able to return , at least somewhere, there is no such thing as a bahmute. svetlana had a family business together with valeria, they worked in a beauty salon, they say that

they have been working on a client base for years now about pre-war life only memories and photos remain, and more likely twice because the first time it was so easy ego ego broke the facade eh the second time eh she burned everything inside that is the house is standing ochen black well skeleton black eh inside it’s clear what there was nothing left, the women say, they stayed in the city and worked until the end, until the bombardment intensified when a shell landed outside the window. the second is closer directly close close and i ran to the utility room and fell on the floor, that's how the client shook me, too. my girlfriend also went to the utility room, and we just don't pass it on. it was very loud. after this incident , svitlana valeriya and her family decided to leave

the city. at the hairdresser's, everyone is afraid of men. at this moment, he came to the icon of ours, tell me what kind of sign should be called or not. and just as i was speaking, 15 minutes later, she flew into the roof and into the window. i came to work. collect your things . civilian girls die in the city every day, they say that there is no contact with those relatives who remained , there is no contact with the aunt and her cousin sister since the first of february. after the evacuation, svitlana lived for some time in the west of the country, valeria in the dnipro, and later decided to move to the capital and open your own business again , rented premises

, bought the most necessary and started from scratch. it's hard. they are collecting their new client base here, well, that's not what was there, to all this there were also problems with electricity, how did they adapt to these moments when the lights are turned off because they still have to work. by what means did they have to get the battery from satsovsky zhiguly make us an led strip so that, although there was some lighting, but it turned out to be not enough to power electrical appliances, they decided to buy a generator, friends from bakhmut helped . when there is no light, they pull it out with their own hands the street to work continuously, they say the extra expenses did not affect the cost of the services in any way, that is, you took on these expenses and now svitlany valeriya is not thinking about

profits and says they dream of a quick victory and returning to my hometown and i really want to return oleksandr vasylchenko hennadiy onikienko details inter tv channel marathon single news reconstruction of the largest riot of the uzhhorod-vishnye german pass on the ukrainian-slovak border infrastructure long building designed almost 8 years ago was supposed to be launched in 2022 year and because of the war, the repair was postponed, and now the state customs service and the cabinet of ministers of ukraine have engaged european partners and plan to put everything in order . what does the checkpoint look like now? iryna kovalchuk saw the territory of no comfort and long queues. these are the first teas. is the border of ukraine from the slovakian side volunteer fin ioni goes through the uzhhorod-vishnyi-german crossing point, it is not the first time that this road needs to be improved, to begin with, and the territory must be improved, it is definitely half-finished

, the administrative building has been fenced off, it is abandoned here materials, inventory, everything is falling apart little by little, the traffic of cars was allowed to go on two lanes for entry and exit, the queues are especially long on weekends , and it takes 6-8 hours to cross the border , that's all, and it's so clear. it will be good, of course, hmm, the facade should be made nice so that we are also like europe, because when you come to europe, even the toilets are there - it is always a contrast, such a contrast will be more comfortable for workers, and border guards, too in better conditions, they also freeze here in these fishing rods. well, of course, you need to do all this, reduce the queues, of course , make more passes so that everything goes faster, it is really difficult to work in such conditions, and you also need to ensure
