this was the festive part, and today the hard work begins. together with the recommendation, the european commission handed over this document, one and a half hundred pages, an assessment of the entire state. on the basis of this document, we will prepare a national program of preparation for admission. in the short term, work before the opening of negotiations in the long, all the way after. we are moving forward and already in december we are immediately after december 15. but what's next, from the seven reforms we've been working on for the past year and a half, we're moving on to the implementation of other recommendations. they are important is not a prerequisite for the start of negotiations, - emphasized the ambassador, and is important for further stages. it is about a change in the anti-corruption sphere and the adoption of a new law on lobbying. the latter is a sensitive issue, says the head of the ministry of justice, which is why brussels is giving ukraine time to pass the law without restrictions.

until there is a consensus on this issue, the promotion of this law will be extremely difficult, and i do not expect its adoption by the end of the year, and the europeans actually did not set such deadlines for us. after that, the negotiation process awaits ukraine, and how long will it last, cannot be calculated. the ukrainian authorities expect to cope with all homework in two years . europe has already chosen for itself. on the 24th , the negotiation framework will be formed, and only then will it be possible to start the process of implementing reforms and ratifying each section in the parliaments of the member states. this is the opening and closing of 35 chapters of the future accession agreement, they will affect all aspects of our lives: transport, there is food and packaging for that food, ecology, education and culture. the european union is primarily a single market and single values. and this will be more difficult, because

there is no single mechanism for eradicating corruption. accordingly, the approaches are individual, and moreover, we cannot completely copy the approaches of, for example , poland. there is a risk that the europeans will be more strict with us, so that this kind of problem does not happen again. the second risk is to repeat the experience of the western balkans. a poll there in the 21st showed that their country would never join the eu, because their inflated estimates of rapid entry had undermined two aspects of success european integration. we are now ending the first decade in the eu's history without enlargement, 2013-2023. of course, there was a lack of reforms, but also a lack of political will, the eu did not want to expand. ukraine has unlocked this one. reforms that can

start literally next year, but only if all 27 member states support the start of negotiations at the eu summit this december. olena chernyakova, maksym khlopotov, we are ukraine marathon, the only news. therefore, the locomotive of the next wave of eu expansion is precisely ukraine, which is breaking the established and restrictive framework international institutions and initiates the creation of a new global security system. but not all in in addition to hungary, what kind of countries are these and how did the solitaire reaction of european countries to the decision of the european commission, anna grishina, about this. ukraine is rapidly moving towards the eu, the european media noticed. most of the respected publications, both local and overseas, devoted the first pages to the topic of the unprecedented rapid progress of our country on the way to joining the european union. british bbc, american politician.

the european future of ukraine, following the statements of journalists, poured in from european politicians, the head of the german foreign ministry on twitter supported the positive recommendations of brussels, saying that a stronger and growing european union should be moscow's answer to the aggressive war against ukraine. the people of ukraine belong to the european family, the start of negotiations on accession to the european union is the next step that we must take together. anna lena burbok, head of the ministry of foreign affairs, is mute. congratulated ukraine on the way to european integration in poland, president andrzej duda said that he will promote eu enlargement, especially for our state in member of the european union, has been rooting for a long time. they supported the decision of the european commission to start accession negotiations with member countries, and in washington, the us state department called this step key for the entire transatlantic community. we consider it necessary to support our partners in ukraine who protect their country and hers. es.

but there were also those who added a spoonful of poison to a barrel of honey. traditionally hungary. the minister of foreign affairs there, peter sijarto , believes that ukraine should be accepted into the european union before the end of hostilities. not on time, because the war will thus come to the eu. although, as the hungarian online publication portfolio writes, everyone understands that the ukrainian military protects not only the independence of ukraine, but also the entire european union from russian encroachments. budapest also does not agree with kyiv. apparently, the country has managed 90% of the recommendations given by the eu for accession. kyiv has already handed over a road map to budapest for the resolution of differences in the issues of national minorities, the government reported. more than 100 hungarian schools operate on the territory of ukraine, not a single ukrainian one in hungary. there are also claims in poland regarding the exhumation of the remains victims of the volyn tragedy, said deputy polish minister of foreign affairs, pawel jablonski. however

, warsaw does not specify whether this could become an obstacle for ukraine on the way to european integration. german deutsche welle notes that if there are no surprises during the december summit, the negotiation process regarding eu enlargement and ukraine's accession will begin. long working negotiations are ahead, where all controversial issues will be discussed. their result should be a draft accession agreement. it must be approved by the european parliament, the council of the eu, strong support under during his presidency of the eu council next year, - said the local minister of foreign affairs andrzej labip. polish president duda followed. in a year, warsaw will catch up. the baton of the presidency in belgium, so the supporters of ukraine as part of the eu, who want to see ukrainians in the big european family, seem to be enough, from brussels, anna grishina we are ukraine, marathon only news.

the border with ukraine was not successful, three hours of negotiations ended in nothing, and polish protesters are determined to continue blocking the movement of goods, demanding the return issuance of ukrainian... disappeared permits to work in the european union. currently, most checkpoints are paralyzed, and more than 2,000 cars are blocked on both sides of the border. our oleksandra stasyshyn in rava ruska. alexander, how long do they stand to cross the border. i compensate for this to ukrainian business in particular. yes, colleagues, i am now at the ravarusk ridge checkpoint. here, on the other side, there is a queue. 600 trucks have already accumulated from the fleet, they have been waiting for more than 100 hours, which is roughly four to five days. the situation is the same at the point

pass of korchov kraków, there are also so many cars, the drivers who managed to overcome the congestion, i ask you to speak directly, since tuesday they have been standing and only allowed one car per hour, their ministry cannot negotiate with them, then i don’t understand, our ministry can negotiate with them , the boys went to talk, but did not agree on anything, they are guarded by the polish police, they are in bulletproof vests with batons and canisters of gas so that no one will eat them. on the ukrainian side , a queue has already formed, because the strikers are not even allowed to enter the poland, because of this there was a delay in the electronic record. true, the queue is not so long, not so big, for example here on ravaruska, it consists of approximately 50 trucks. it is being moved due to the fact that the poles have blocked it and are not letting it out from the border itself, and we have to

sit here and watch, if you don't have time to drive in by a certain hour, then the queue is canceled, and even then you have to register in the queue in a new way, and register in a new way in the queue there for 9-10 days. broke off. for the download game, this is the first thing, well, they defended themselves here for four days, their rallying officers the conditions have not changed, they demand the return of the issuance of permits for ukrainian freight carriers, because they say they create their own trucks, returning to poland, did not stand in a single queue with all the trucks, but had a separate one for themselves, please be direct. at the shagyna checkpoint, the crossing is carried out in the usual mode, there is no complication of traffic in the direction of entering ukraine, but many drivers have already chosen it to enter ukraine, and today we are already observing a queue of trucks there, which, according to the latest information

from the ministry of community development, territory and of infrastructure , a bilateral meeting should be held on the border already on monday, november 13, at which... they will talk and consider the topic of lifting the blockade. the studio, well, we still have the opportunity to hear traditional evening performances. dear ukrainians, ukrainian women, in conclusion, first about our kherson, today is the anniversary of the liberation of the city, i am grateful to everyone who remembered how the people of kherson resisted the occupier, how they waited for the return of the ukrainian flag, how they met our soldiers. i thank everyone who today honored the memory of those who gave life, so that kherson, like our entire state , is free, it is very important to remember who and how fought for ukraine, to journalists who

remind everyone about this, and to everyone who keeps this memory of the liberation of kherson, and bravery of the kherson people. the day before, i signed a decree on state awards for soldiers and civilians who distinguished themselves there in the defense of the kherson region, those who fought for the state, those who helped the defense, those who saved and are saving, the courage of ukrainians, together with our soldiers, in this decrees as well honored employees of local authorities, these are people who did not leave their communities, helped protect against occupiers, helped the resistance, treated and are still treating, organized help for those who could not provide for themselves, saved children. from deportation, saved people from russian terror, are saved because of your bravery, devotion to your

work and to ukraine. thanks to everyone who stays and works right there in the communities, along the front line. of course, our security and defense forces will respond to russia's army to strike kherson and the villages of the kherson region, as it always happens, this week showed that both in the black sea and on the territory of the crimea, justice is being returned to ukraine. the second thing that is important to say is that i spoke with the president of poland duda today, it was a good conversation, i congratulated andrzej and all poles on the independence day of poland. this day is as important for poland as it is for us ukrainians, the history of our peoples is intertwined, and that's it. how was the independence of our states restored, how do we take care now to protect it? ukraine and

poland must be together so that our people will always be free. i thank anzh for the kind words today about ukraine and ukrainians. thank you for all the extremely important support of poland for our state and people. one more thing: we continue to evacuate ukrainian citizens from the sector. literally , this work continues all day, less than every hour the number of those who managed to save 214 of our people changes . to all those who help us with this work, today i held a meeting with international experts regarding negotiations and meetings that can strengthen ukraine and ours. defense and international attention to ukraine. every day we add strength to the state. glory

to our soldiers, glory to our strong people. glory to ukraine. the russian military continues to keep the territory of the zaporizhzhya nuclear plant, to which all approaches and entrances are mined, under their complete control. despite their pressure on the armed forces , there are still 812 ukrainian workers who have not yet signed contracts with rosacea the occupiers insist that they do it by january 1, and they are also putting another power unit into a state of so-called hot shutdown, exposing the whole of europe to nuclear danger, which is currently happening at the station, olena kaptyukh learned. 812 ukrainians in zaporizhzhya atomka, despite pressure from the russians, still have not signed contracts with rosat. the situation is getting worse every day - says the minister of energy of ukraine. because there is no access to the equipment and it is impossible to control its condition. the situation is called, to

describe them professionally, it is degradation the equipment, and every day, for cooling the condensers, turbines and safety systems of atomka has stopped being fed, so there may simply not be enough water, confirms the energy atom. led to the fact that it is impossible to restart the station, for today. and there is a threat that eventually there will not be enough water to cool the security system, but so far there is no immediate threat. the other is a hot shutdown of the power unit, which was transferred to the fourth power unit, now the fifth, this causes damage to the equipment of the nuclear power unit, the equipment continues to degrade, and after the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is liberated, a lot will need to be done there in order to put everything in order, in september, the participants of the general

conference of the international atomic energy agency approved a resolution on returning control over the nuclear power plant... in ukraine, rosatom , which is illegal, the only way out of the situation is the introduction of sanctions by the international community against the russian energy sector. the russians have put the whole world at risk, this is the issue of sanctions, that is, the issue of sanctions against the russian nuclear energy industry, we are finally we have to apply them, and this will be a compulsion for them. the occupiers use zaporizhzhya as as a nuclear shield, place their equipment and troops there, from there. nikopol and marganets are being shelled, and it was in a blackout quite a few times, that is, the power supply was turned off completely and generators were connected, and it was the ukrainian side that transported fuel to support them , and how much longer the station will withstand such interruptions, not even the experts know, no one knows when this time will be che, when it is already

impossible to return, and the russians have a great illusion, the illusion that they control the station, on september 8, ukraine became a member of the governing council of the magathe, the ministry of energy believes that this will give us a voice and the opportunity to influence the decision regarding the zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, from the zaporizhzhia region, olena kaptyukh, daria zeryanova, we ukraine marathon, single news. the prime minister of israel, benjamin netanyahu, said that after the war, the idf would remain in control of the gas. we will not hand it over to international forces. this was said verbatim during the meeting, before, after ten hours of fighting, the israel defense forces captured key strongholds in gaza hamas and opened mine tunnels that were used by terrorists. well, sakhal announced a six-hour window for the evacuation corridor, and gases flowed from the north to the south. they moved 80,000 people in a day. the total

number of evacuated foreigners has already exceeded 2,000 . ukraine has its citizens from the gas sector. over the past day , another 171 of them were evacuated from the gas station. this week , 214 ukrainians have already been saved from hostilities in israel. hundreds of thousands of gazans have already moved south, but hamas is doing everything in its power to prevent people from leaving. hamas uses civilians as human shields. he is ready to expose the sky. in order to protect the safety of children , sports complexes are being built in the two cities most often attacked by the russians, margantsi and nikopol. these are front-line areas located 7 km from the positions of the occupiers. these projects were approved even before the beginning of the full-scale invasion, but money is still allocated, why and what do the residents of nikopol think about it,

for example, our sofia muskalenko asked about it. a new regional sports... health complex is being built in nikopol with money, the work was started before the full-scale invasion, but the money continues to be allocated to this day, and this despite the fact that the russians are shelling the city every day. nikopolka's initiative was evaluated ambiguously. someone supports the construction of the pool 100%, others believe that in the conditions of war it is a waste of budget funds. the shelling in the place is very heavy, i wouldn't risk it now. simply, but then, if they were already walking around a lot, positively, why not, everything that is for the residents of nikopol is not being built, that is very good, there must be a restoration of our ukraine, and not some kind of swimming pool and the like, so i think it is better

to direct these funds to the restoration of our country and to the restoration of residential complexes that were destroyed. the photo published on the network back in february 2022 shows that the sports complex's pools are filled with water, but it has never been opened. a full-scale war began. the complex did not have time to transfer to the city's balance sheet - the city hall says. we are not construction customers. the construction customers, the regional administration of capital construction, probably raised this in the 16th year. these questions and by deputies of the regional council about the construction of a specially coated swimming pool. after the start of the full-scale invasion, money from the budget continued to be allocated. first in the summer of 2020 , then in 2023. according to the portal for the use of public funds, the regional government allocated

uah 23 million for the construction. the transaction itself took place in the summer of this year, when the president already said that it is necessary to carefully organize the public organization and public control. it turned out that money was also allocated to the swimming pool in marganka, which, according to data on the use of public funds, was being built mostly already in a full-scale war. in may of this year, there were transactions for this object, i.e. for the repair of the swimming pool 15 km from the front line. the public organization submitted a statement to the police, informed about the inappropriate use of budget funds. months, the police does not survive any active actions. we sent a request to the regional military administration to find out whether tomu continued to allocate funds for the construction of swimming pools even during the full-scale war, but we did not receive an answer within ten working days. from dnipropetrovsk

oblast, sofia moskalenko, yevhenii lopatnichenko, we ukraine marathon, united news. now russia is destroying, the world's unprecedented attention to ukraine opens up new opportunities for cultural diplomacy between kyiv and paris, and returns ukrainian culture to the world as an important and inseparable component of european culture. it is for this reason that ukraine is defending itself now, and we are grateful to everyone who supports us - stressed olena zelska. she urged europeans to learn about the real ukrainian contribution to world culture and to get rid of imperial optics. if you ask your compatriots now what they know about ukrainian culture. not from the news, but from books, from the sphere of culture, what do they know about our artists, who do you know of classic ukrainian artists

, writers, this will probably be a difficult question, because our culture proves that we are and we always have been, even for dialogue our cultures. during her visit to france, olena zelska met with the mayor of paris, anna dalgo, thanked her for her consistent support of ukraine, because paris accepts ukrainians fleeing the war and provides provides humanitarian aid to ukraine, and organizes recreation for ukrainian children. well, we continue to tell how foreign doctors restore ukrainian soldiers to their full lives, today our story is about kyyanin. after rehabilitation, pavlo intends to return to the front. and if you look at our material, you will understand that it is. will do, yuri gula has no doubts about that, broad-shouldered, with a height of almost 2 meters, a new cossack, as pavlo calls himself, until recently he was destroying the occupiers near avdiivka, he was

a tank commander, and now it is difficult for him to move without outside help, yes, we have such a thing now, like fans , here you put your foot, yes, you put your foot there, yes, with your eyes... alla became pavlo's wife, he is not a step away from her, they walk together, rest, even to the toilet, forced to go together. i can't see all this, a woman, my wife, tells me how beautiful it is here, so far everything is done in my imagination, the soldier sees only silhouettes and the brightness of phosphorus, the car caught fire, we almost put it out with my stepson, and it is right at my fingertips a mine is coming. a vivid impression, six men with automatic weapons, there were breaking branches. first , brothers, then doctors from kyiv and odesa saved the tanker. pavlo lost his hand and eyes. for eight

months, he saw only darkness, doctors overseas promised to restore his vision, at least in one eye. pavel's sight is a pity, and american doctors took care of him. our foundation brought pavel to restore his vision, we have already performed an operation on him. put the boston keratoprosthesis, this is still an experimental operation, and if you believe it, they promise up to 100% return of vision in one eye. more to come several operations and a long road to recovery, but the tanker will get to the basketball basket with the tips of his wife and siblings. even more to the left. a tattoo from an amputee. transferred to the right on both fists born free, born free , and it happened that the hand was torn off, so that the inscription would not

lose its meaning, transferred. to other phalanxes, the man's craziest ideas are fully supported by his wife pavlo and allaz , we can be free only in the country where there will be no such maskers, damn it, in a few months the couple will return to ukraine and our the hero plans to join the army again, because he believes that not only the future of ukraine depends on him and his brothers.
