mostly take place also behind closed doors, there are not many details of them, but one exclusive i have for our viewers actually my sources at the conference told that for the first time 12 years ago, there was a meeting between the parliamentarians and the heads of the parliaments of ukraine and serbia, and they are already talking about a warming, so to speak , in diplomatic relations between these countries , and lately everything is not so good in the context of the armed aggression of the russian federation, relations have become somewhat strained from the understandable reasons, but they agreed, according to my sources from the conference, even about the opening of the diplomatic mission of serbia in kyiv, it worked before the full-scale invasion, but then stopped its work with for obvious reasons, returning to the conference itself, they talked mainly about ukraine, although i will emphasize that this is a conference of the heads of parliaments of the member states of the european

union, ukraine is still in the stasi as a candidate, although they also talked about when we can move on to thorough negotiations our candidacy so, at the negotiations today and at the general conference, roberta med solo , the president of the european parliament, was present. and actually, this is how she spoke about ukraine, about our struggle and remembered her trip to kyiv european citizens sheltered and continue to welcome millions of ukrainians into their homes and hearts dear russian - it is an honor to see you here representing the verkhovna rada and the brave people of ukraine. thank you for being here. thank you for standing and defying the odds when i first came to kyiv and i thought i would come to the council and will help us hope, but instead ruslan and his heroic colleagues gave me hope, they talked about ukraine, as you can see , at general meetings, spoke on the sidelines

at bilateral meetings, those speakers with whom i managed to communicate with representatives of the parliaments of other countries, they assured that support will increase . of course, some of the countries that are especially friendly to us do not understand why, let's say, more support is not provided , why the issue with the planes is still open and not resolved, but also, uh, they should have adopted and certain decisions of the resolution and ruslan stepanchuk called for these decisions that will be adopted today to be actually adopted so that they do not provide loopholes for russian manipulations so that we should not just to stop the origin, we must do everything to get russia out of ukraine , and therefore, let's just say that these wordings and these editorials did not do something like that, then gave

russia the opportunity to learn from some formations of the european union investigator's collection. -conference already according to the results of the two-day conference, the heads of the parliament themselves also talked about ukraine , the host party spoke about ukraine the european integration path of ukraine about the fight against russian aggression and the czech journalists themselves who were allowed to be the first to ask questions to the speakers at this press conference they also asked about ukraine about ukraine's struggle for its independence and freedom and actually many speakers with whom, as i already said i talked on the sidelines, they say that we understand and we support you because this is a struggle not only for ukrainian freedom and independence, it is also a struggle for our independence, although

the issue of european integration was raised again is the ukrainian side ready to talk thoroughly about the next stage? so far, no one can talk about it at all. they say that ukraine has done a lot of work ahead, but procedures must be followed. thank you , colleague, for the good news from the czech republic. it was special correspondent of the tv channel rada vadym kolodiychuk about the conference of heads of parliament in eu member states, us president joseph biden officially confirmed that he will run for the presidential seat in next year's elections, this is reported tv channels bbc and cnn, biden's campaign program started in the form of a 3 -minute advertising video that begins with the word freedom. biden said that americans will be faced with the choice of leaving the next generation with more freedom or less, more rights or less. in his twitter, biden wrote that in every generation there is a moment when he

has to stand up democracy defend their basic freedoms americans will recruit the president on november 5, 2024 voice of america correspondent ostap yara shostapoy congratulations to the elections themselves you need to win the primaries. who can become his main competitor among the democrats and who has a chance? now i advise against everything among the democratic party. we will not see the draft this year. there are natural trends when the incumbent president decides to run for a second term. usually his home party supports him and does not. challenges the internal so it was and we remember with the election of donald trump in 2020, in fact, he was the only candidate from the republicans and had no truces, the same was the case when obama ran for his

the second term. that is, this is a natural historical trend only once in the history of the united states, and the same party of the incumbent president, who challenged him, still won a truce, and therefore, in principle, they do not decide not to undermine the authority of the incumbent president - this is the first thing, the second thing is - and there is no other candidate who would have such support as jobane among the democratic party, if you look at the polls, that is , there are no bright competitors in principle, so if there are no unforeseen circumstances, we can to expect that joe biden will be the only and remain the only candidate of the democratic party in the 2024 elections game studio and in the elections themselves, who can become biden's competitor from the republicans ? it looks like donald trump has a great chance to become joe biden's only competitor, and the situation may repeat itself in

2020, when the situation in 2010, when we had trump and biden who competed for the seat in the white house, uh, republicans there will be a primary growth here as well. it looks like the internal struggle will be more interesting. and there are already several candidates who have officially announced their candidacy, among them donald trump , among them the former sweet of the united states was nicky gelli, and other candidates are expected. we also expect other american politicians as well . will announce his candidacy officially as one of the candidates also names ronadesantis as the governor of florida, but he has not yet officially announced it thank you, colleague, this is voice of america correspondent ostap yarysh spoke about the fact that the election campaigns are already starting in the usa ukraine evacuated 138 people from the capital of sudan khatoum, mostly ukrainians, employees of the sky up airline company , they are now safe in the territory of egypt , the main intelligence directorate
