implementation by ukraine of the recommendations of the european commission and we are already preparing our next steps after this report, our legislative work , strengthening of state institutions, ukraine has already come a long way in approaching the european union, and our state is fully aware that the acquired membership in the european union is a political decision of all countries , who are already in the community and want to see a new one. but it is also and the work of the state itself. already during the meeting of the european council on december 14 and 15 , a decision may be made to open negotiations on ukraine's accession to the european union. well, the internal document of the european commission, the report on ukraine, has already found itself at the disposal of radio liberty's european correspondents. zoryana stepanenko has already met him and will now tell us all the details. zaryano, i give you the word. good morning, katya, officially according to

kyiv time, this report that you mentioned will be made public at 1 p.m., it will be done by the president of the european commission and the profile the european commissioner for enlargement will not only apply to ukraine, in a package of up to 10 countries , in addition to ukraine, moldova, georgia, the western balkans will also be evaluated, which took the first big step towards joining the european union decades ago, and being candidates for so long, i want to see now progress, it is ukraine that becomes its driving force. noted dmytro kuleba the day before after the meeting with the european commissioners. the fact that it is she who is pushing the entire line in front of her, essentially giving the european union an impetus for expansion, was confirmed this week by the head european diplomacy. russia's full-scale war in europe led the eu to think that the spread of its values ​​on the continent is not only about economic, but also about geopolitical interests of not only the candidates, but also of the bloc itself, and we can actually hear such theses here more and more often from

high-ranking officials of the countries eu. a number of western media familiar with the draft report of the european commission, indeed radio liberty, also had the opportunity to see it. it is reported that for ukraine and moldova, which received candidate status, as you remember, on one day, the decision will be positive, with them this body will recommend to the leaders of the eu member states, in fact, to approve the decision to start accession negotiations, and the head of the ukrainian foreign ministry, who is currently on a visit to brussels, as you understood, spoke the day before about the signals that, in his opinion, confirm this ? ukraine is moving towards the decision of the european council in december of this year to open negotiations. i want to emphasize this, there is a lot of diplomatic work, a lot of media, commenting on what is happening, but we continue to move towards this goal. as i have repeatedly stated that there will be no force majeure. then we

will reach this goal, ukraine has the political will for this, and today i am convinced that the european commission also has the political will to achieve this result. ukraine became a candidate for joining the european union in a certain way in advance, this status was accompanied by seven criteria that had to be fulfilled in order for the accession negotiations to start accordingly. an interim assessment of the homework done will also be in today's report of the european commission, and fully completed, of course, with of the draft document, which we have already seen, consider in particular reforms in the judicial sector, the fight against money laundering, as well as medical reform, but near the rest of the criteria, next to the described achievements and also notes, which prevents the european commission from calling them fully fulfilled. we have already familiarized ourselves with the latest version of this report and the european commission recommends starting negotiations with ukraine, and specifically preparing the framework for these negotiations, it recommends under the conditions of further work on

the tasks that were within the limits of the seven criteria i have already mentioned. if about specifics, they expect further investigations of corruption cases, as well as an increase in the national anti-corruption staff. a bureau of powers for nazk, which will allow checking the property acquired by declarants before entering the public service, and as part of the process of de-oligarchization, they expect the approval of the law on lobbying according to european standards, as well as the implementation of the recommendations of the venice commission regarding the improvement of the law on national minorities, as well as the state language, education, and media. progress, the european commission said, again in the draft of this report, the monitor will continue, and the new report will prepare by march 2024. that is, as you can see, there is a kind of deadline that will encourage ukraine to cope within these terms. at the same time, the european commission can start the preparatory work for the negotiation process, as already stated in this document, so in december, as is clear from all this, it is expected, first of all, the political decision of the leaders that

the negotiations will begin, and for its part, hungary has already announced that it will block them, as long as budapest will have claims about national minorities, and the polish ministry of foreign affairs says that without resolving the issues regarding the exhumation of the remains poles on the territory of ukraine. hey, a quote from poland's deputy top diplomat about joining the eu, it's time to dream, we'll keep an eye on everything. thank you very much, zoryana, for all the information, we are really watching today, whether this day will become historic, as announced by volodymyr zelensky, zoryana stepanenko from brussels with everything, with all the details. this is radio svoboda, freedom of the morning. you can write about your eyes in the comments. as to whether this day today will really become history with a historic decision from the european union, and in general, what do you think are ukraine's prospects for in order to receive an invitation to the eu this year, ivana klynpussadze, head of the verkhovna rada committee on european integration, people's deputy of ukraine for european solidarity

joins our broadcast, i congratulate you, mrs. ivana, in your opinion, fulfilling four of the seven eu criteria is enough, or today the european union made this hundred decisions , as the president said, well, i hope that the european commission will really give a positive recommendation today, from all, from all sources, we understand that this is exactly the approach, that the opening of negotiations with ukraine should be a decision to be taken by the european council already this year, is such a political consensus as it is within various european institutions and the european parliament. and the european commission, so we really hope that the recommendation will be positive as far as whether four out of seven is enough, well i don't think it's enough, it seems to me that those were the conditions that it was absolutely possible

to fully implement at 100 or at 120 %, as advised by our closest partners, by the way, who are sincerely rooting for ukraine to succeed, and unfortunately, unfortunately, there are still some things that need to be worked on, both by the government and the parliament, and i hope that this is for us such an additional mobilization push, which will force everyone to work towards the goal, so that by, well, by mid -december, there are no more questions left, well , actually, there are no questions left until the moment when the negotiations themselves... will be opened. president zelenskyi in evening clothes the parliament mentioned in the address that the work of the parliament in this direction is important. and let's talk about what was not accomplished, it is about the fact that the strengthening of the fight against corruption was not successful, and it was about the appointment of a new head of the specialized

anti-corruption prosecutor's office and the director of nabu, increasing the staffing of nabu, the eu wants this department to operate without certain restrictions, and the eu also advises ukraine to adopt a law on lobbying, in accordance with european standards, then it is about the fight against the influence of oligarchs, and you say that it was quite likely to be implemented, what is the reason why it failed and how quickly can it be done now, but look, two things, first of all, let's wait for the final text that will be adopted by the college of the european commission today, they will still be sit today, and it is quite likely that some accents may change in the final, final version, but yes, indeed, those preliminary studies that you rely on, they speak of the need for these draft laws, which are related to the law on nabu and strengthening her capacity, only

last friday, if i'm not mistaken, was finally registered in the verkhovna rada of ukraine, the law on lobbying was never registered, despite the fact that some version of it was worked out by the national agency for the prevention of corruption, why was it not done, i it seems that we finally have to clearly realize that slogans must be constantly supported by concrete actions, and it is not enough to try, well, only declaratively move towards the european union, we saw with you that on, at the time of june in the past month, we have already heard repeated assurances from the leaders of ukraine at various levels regarding the fact that the seven, seven conditions have already been completely fulfilled, and this interim assessment, which revealed that we have fulfilled two of the seven, well, exactly, became a cold shower for us. we must also now realize that

additional work will be needed in three other areas. it seems to me that it is also very important here that there should be a very substantive, constructive dialogue between the government and the parliament at all levels, and not just to resolve some issues at the level office of the president, government officials and leadership of the verkhovna rada of ukraine. if, at all levels, the parliament is not involved in substantive conversation in the form of how these or other actions should be implemented, or what the common position of ukraine should be, it will obviously be more and more difficult for us to achieve the goals that will stand before us as part of the transformation and the management of changes is a complex, long process, for which we must prepare and involve absolutely everyone, but we will not be able to really advance quickly and efficiently. and from whom?

depends on this initiative in order for this dialogue between the government and the parliament to be more established. i think that the responsibility lies precisely with the ruling majority, due to the fact that it has all the levers to involve various stakeholders, starting with civil society, and starting with various political forces, pro-european... political forces that are for today in the parliament, who are ready to work, but , unfortunately, periodically we observe, you know, such a, well, let's say, a vertical attempt to pass tasks to the parliament, but it is not like that works in a democracy, in a democracy it works precisely the maximum deep, constructive, meaningful discussion of this or that initiative so that, in its best form, it can be adopted, we saw this process, for example, after

the law on selection was adopted judges of the constitutional court, when our faction said back in december of last year that no, we still need to fully implement the recommendations of the venice commission, it will not be counted as a completed point for us, well, our colleagues simply ignored and accused us of that we want to undermine the european integration of ukraine. unfortunately, our words turned out to be true, due to the fact that just in june we heard that ukraine had to revise the law on the constitutional court, so we would like more such, you know, mutually respectful dialog, i heard your position here, it is important, but if we talk about external factors, unfortunately, we have a few minutes left, but we hear that the deputy minister of foreign affairs of poland has stated that ukraine should resolve the issue of exhumation by approaching the eu. victims after the volyn tragedy, hungary also has its questions to ukraine

, but these questions are external, so to speak, to other eu countries, they can be resolved as quickly as possible, whether this composition, you know, will become an obstacle to ukraine's accession to the eu, it could be a serious challenge, indeed, due to the fact that we see examples of how these or other countries, with their own interests, block... for example, bulgaria blocks the further movement of northern macedonia, and this is also such a risk and such a challenge can be for ukraine, from the point of view of mutual accusations or mutual misunderstandings at the level of bilateral relations, this means that we need to do two things, strengthen the dialogue with these specific countries, and at the same time, by doing what we can do and consider possible , we could see how to argue this to all the other members of the european union, so that

no one inside the european union could manipulate at the decision-making stage, namely... well, claims against ukraine. i thank you for your analysis of the situation, we really will wait first of all for the official decision of the european union. in our broadcast, we previously quoted what radio liberty sources had received , ivana klynptensadze, head of the verkhovna rada committee on european integration, people's deputy of ukraine from the european solidarity faction, joined our broadcast, we talked about ukraine's prospects in the eu. and what do military personnel feel when they are asked about combat conditions before civilian life, have you ever thought about this? 35 military personnel who were asked this question gave almost the same answer, they want peace, seclusion, misunderstanding of society, someone shuts himself up in his apartment, letting in only his brothers, someone picks up a bottle, another wants to go back to the front sooner.

the survey among the military was conducted by a team of a non-governmental organization, vatra is a benefactor who helps the armed forces, civilian doctors after the occupation, so far 35 military have agreed to participate in the study, but their answers are very similar, let's listen to a few. you hear stories about how someone bought himself a white ticket, or how someone is afraid to go to war, is not ready and does not know how to do, and at this time you just don't know what to say to them, because you just don't understand it. completely changed the circle of communication due to misunderstanding, received accusations from civilians who are advancing for a long time at the front, that they do poor quality work. triggers devaluation. and treating war as something far away, and turning war into something fashionable when they think the enemy are dumb shits. the media and social networks have turned murder into something fun, angry that war is a trend. the reaction to the sounds, the guilt that i am in the hospital, and my brothers are in the positions, is unnerving ordinary measured life, all problems seem to be sucked out of the finger. and even though the full-scale war is still going on, we want

to start a discussion about how civilians should behave, how to receive military personnel back from the front. into civilian life and help them ease this transition, and we will talk about it on the air, then i invite to this dialogue anastasia rokytna, a military leader and the head of the public organization vatra, which conducted this survey, and fedir sandor, a professor of the uzhgorod national university, a sociologist, a teacher, and now a military man, a sergeant of the armed forces of ukraine, joins our broadcast, i congratulate you, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining, anastasia, you have the first word, because this is your research , can you summarize what conclusion you made after such of the first block of this study, what are the main problems and fears of returning to civilian life in the military today? good afternoon, uh, yes, we did this research because actually, every time we go to the front at all, to the soldiers, we hear the same

words, that's all there was in this study, what we published, we published very little, but it's actually something that they tell us all the time and we'd like to cover it, in general, it seemed to me that this topic, it is now, well, it is being discussed, and there are discussions on this topic, and they are trying to solve it somehow, to do something about it, but i was really surprised that, as if with my post, people only started to be interested in it, as far as i know, and the principle this is done by a public organization, it is a big problem, because it can be said that the world, the world is divided as if in two parts, when you are there, one reality, you live in the same conditions , you have one environment, when you arrive in civilian life - it is a completely different reality, a different environment, and somehow it is very important for us to find some dialogue between these realities and to make the military comfortable, because i understand that

a civilian will never understand the military, how fast i am. the fighters themselves speak, but somehow i would like them to at least be heard, because there are some moments that, well, i don't understand at all why people allow themselves to be like that behave, why they ask such strange questions, and somehow it is incomprehensible neither to me nor to them, that is, there are different realities, indeed, but the question is that it is impossible to understand it, but to obey, to listen and to hear this other experience is another situation, fedor, but in your opinion, as a sociologist and a military man, these answers are exploratory, they correspond to the reality of such us. what kind of help do the military themselves want and what problems are they already facing as a result of returning from the war to civilian life? i wish you a good day

health to everyone, of course, there is nothing strange, we are not a unique case, afghan syndrome, vietnam syndrome, all other syndromes, starting from somalia, ending with the syndrome of the ukrainian-russian war, is simply called ptsd, or post-traumatic stress disorder. a fixed schedule, as ilf and petrov, a famous con artist, shura, said, read the article about it, it is described, it is expected, the only thing that ukraine does not have is a problem, everything else is a question, questions are answered, problems are solved, of course, any problem consists of a large one number of issues, this is resolved by the issues of the staff that we trained for diplomas, yes , psychologists are absolute... they do not go to the front line where they are needed, like water, well, actually, i have the honor of working in the tsvsom with the mpz,

moral and psychological support , civil-military cooperation, with many volunteers, and i thank them for research like this, it's like the voice of the non-drinking desert, and another such marker for those who are out of reach, for the scientists, theorists who described it, it, from the primitive level of behaviorism and freudian theory, ending today's studies, which are in the american israeli school, which talk about one or another factors, what soldiers encounter, so we have a moment of crisis, a red line has been crossed, because the armed forces of ukraine are not only 250-350,000 servicemen who have graduated from colleges, schools, this is already the whole of ukraine, more than 15 million people are taking part, starting with the dftg, ending with the zsu, tro and other armed and law enforcement formations that

participate directly in the russian war, so we currently have a simple pyramid, where 2 million people are involved directly in military, military and military actions, and as a result this was to be expected, so nothing surprising, the main thing is to work. not to surrender and not to run away from ukraine, that is, to run away from responsibility. we are ready, yes, for the fact that there will be a problem in the form of a conflict between two institutions, the institution of civilian life, the institution of military life. of course, as in other countries, we are not exceptions, something unique, planet earth and homo sapiens, it is the same everywhere, has standard stencils, and these stencils are developed by theorists. ago. it is necessary to invite specialists, of course, and i am very glad that public organizations are already waving red flags, look , it has already appeared, that is why i am asking yes, it has already appeared,

fedor, it is interesting, it is an important moment not to wait for anything, what will happen after the end of the war , and these are basically the questions that arise, anastasia, but do you have any proposals, ideas in your organization that civilians can already do, how to actually meet with military personnel who are already returning from the war, maybe these are some proposals , which is on the state levels can be, well be, yes, what are the main tips that civilians should know, look, we have only done research so far to report the problem itself, i can say what the military is saying, they really need rehabilitation centers, they are about them they constantly say, they constantly say that we don't really have them. and in general, in my opinion, the issue of rehabilitation centers, any kind of psychological support - this is an issue that should be on every pillar, so that the military does not

google, do not search, do not try to find where it's like, uh, when you can go there, so that they just have these links in front of their eyes all the time, so that they understand where you can go, so that it's well promoted, if it's really some decent establishments, well, that is, uh , constantly emphasize the need for rehabilitation centers, i myself am now trying to somehow raise this topic, search , inquire, maybe we will talk to some rehabilitators, we will find these centers, so that at least they can show that here are friends, you you can, have somewhere to turn with yours problems and what you feel and they can help you, and that's what they tell me all the time, we don't know anything, they just go back to their apartment and sit there and don't even want to go out , especially with these questions

it was about completely incomprehensible flaws in your research, and claims that you are not working on something there for nothing, that's what the grenade launcher said in your research, fedor, in one of your interviews, we heard interesting, maybe somewhat harsh ideas about that the military after the front needs a certain isolation from civilians in order to avoid domestic conflicts, in your opinion, this is exactly the way that is necessary, and can you explain what is meant and whether , again, there should be some such state program, concrete steps that should be taken for that , so that a person can adapt after the war, well , i will repeat myself again. in that we are not inventors in this, we use apple, but we are not inventors, that is why isolation comes in different forms, isolation for sports, isolation for rehabilitation, recreation, isolation for non-social, and precisely those forms that it is necessary for a military man, a military man came home, he must communicate at a certain stage while the kettle is boiling for him, yes, and his own, usually his institution, with a military man, military psychologists,

doctors, it is with the adjective right that rehabilitation centers are needed, but there is one small appendix, the rehabilitation center is not a house and not good equipment, it is the people who work there, these are specialists, unfortunately there are none, we do not educate them quickly, so a crisis is foreseen, that it is not just a boy or a girl with a diploma in psychology , a social worker will meet a military person, and those who still know how to work with this diploma, yes, studying at school does not mean that you will receive a job, yes, there must be a desire to learn, a desire to work. with such a category, this category will not be rich, it will not pay, it must bear a heavy yoke, the state and the entire european community, because we are on the territory of the continent of europe, so the funding has to come from the countries of the european union, otherwise we will go there and do trouble both there and here and we will be direct suppliers of any private of a military company, because a million people are in military uniform, it’s not just that, so actually taking into account these factors, emphasize that

anastasia, i ask you to continue the focus group further, it’s time not to give up, yes, because you are now filling in for psychologists, for social workers, for diviologists , as direct material not for theoretical future research, what we will lose after the war, because now is a direct acute phase, it must be done, simply put together, then you will consider the theorist, and of course, the state started to do, well, but if there are no... quality people in any field, starting from journalism, yes, ending with just being ukrainian, here we already have a problem, not a question. i thank you for participating, we have really raised these topics in our broadcasts before, we will continue to do so, because we believe that this dialogue, it is really important, and these rules, new rules of behavior, maybe a certain etiquette of this behavior, those questions that can be asked, can't be asked,

reactions that need to be worked on, that's all... it's important to discuss so that we talk about it everyone knew more. thank you for your participation, anastasia rokytna, a soldier and the head of the public organization vatra, and fedir sandor, a professor of the uzhgorod national university, a sociologist, a teacher, and now a military man, a sergeant of the armed forces of ukraine, were guests of our broadcast. this is the freedom of the mornings. in these broadcasts, we talk about important, important political news and statements, analyze them together with the guests of this broadcast, and also talk about important social issues. topics that are about our present, stay with us on the radio liberty youtube channel, subscribe definitely, if you haven't done it yet, and also in order to quickly receive important information, subscribe to radio svoboda, we are on all social networks where it is more convenient for you, be sure to stay with us there too, my name is kateryna nekrecha , i and the entire team of freedom morning, we wish you a peaceful day and see you tomorrow.
