u. e. given that the rest has happened after that red notice was issued by into poll, and that's also after the u. k. and the united states also issued travel bands and acid freezes on the cook to family. and that's after they flipped south africa in early 2018. so while the risk has taken place, it may take some time before the expedition specifically happens, because that requires an application by the south african government. but it's likely the good brothers will fight that extradition, tooth and nail, given that they refused to appear at a south african government, a traditional inquiry into corruption in south africa. and that's been taking place of the last 3 years. so it may be many months or even longer before south african get onset from the group to brothers around their role in state corruption. and just the depth of the relationship with the former president jacob's duma and how they benefited from that. this is part of a broader fight against corruption in south africa. should we e

e. u. i mean, given that this process is likely to take years, sometimes it can take decades. why is this official recognition? why is it so important for your country? because this war is about freedom for freedom. oh, to be $1.00 to $1.00, to be and to want to be was europe. we want to be like europe. we want to be a success like euro, and just to be recognize, just to have this all wish officially recognized by the european union knowing how this done. europe was wrong. that when just wants to go just, it means a lot it's. it's the right symbol in the right moment to the right concrete, the right nation. i know that you had worked with ukrainian leaders since independence 31 years ago. how would you describe president low to me? zalinski is leadership. at the current time, i mean, he is a wartime president. no, we are mostly proud of him like her, like her. oh, great young american journalists. well, i just love that song said zalinski the hero. when you are here said the joker, she tweeted in jokingly, but indeed president laskey is a hero ho many, many people, many ukrain

process has begun it as you say, it will take years before ukraine can efficiently be given the status of, of an e u member state. but it now means that everything that's happening is working towards a goal and, and, and if you will, that, that journey has begun. and let's not underestimate that, that boost, that it is, but not too much changes, but the hopes have been raised and there's something to work towards. now. there are other countries here in europe that have been waiting longer than ukraine to become a candidate. and they're still wait, i'm talking about a particular of the balkan countries of what were you leaders able to say to them to do while in short, not very much and that those need has walked away. i left brussels to day very, very disappointed. i mean, you have to think about a country like north macedonia, that has been given candidate status and, and health status for about 17 years now. i'm old macedonia also had to change its name so that it could meet some of those requirements and make it easier for that e u. s. session. these country say we've been waiting in the wings for

member states voted to give the war torn country e u. candidate status. president volota mars lensky has hailed the decision as historic. moldova has been given, the same status is the 1st step in what can be a long application process. but as natasha butler reports from e u headquarters in brussels, it sends a strong message to russia. ah, just days after russia began its invasion of ukraine, keith applied to join the european union. 4 months later, you leaders at a summit in brussels, approved the request, and put you crane on the path to future membership. we have decided to grint to the through through ukraine and moldova. then you are ready to grant to the suitors to georgia. once priorities will be addressed, there can be no batch, a sign of hope for the citizens of ukraine mould of an georgia in these troubled times. ukraine's president of anatomy zalinski cooled the eas decision, a unique and historical moment in relations. we have just received the european union candidacy. this is a victory. we've been waiting for this 120 days of the war. and even 30 years of our independence. it usually takes years for a country to gain candidate

happen, has begun it as you say, it will take years before ukraine can officially be given the status of, of an e u member state. but it now means that everything that's happening is working, let's not underestimate that, that boost, that it is, but not too much changes, but the hopes have been raised and there's something to work towards now. there are other countries handed it in there still way i'm talking about in particular the balkan countries of what were you leaders able to say to them to day to day? very, very disappointed. i mean, you have to think about a country like north macedonia, that has been given candidate status and, and health status for about 17 years now in the message. make it easier for that effect session. these country say we've been waiting in the wings for a long time. they see how quickly things can happen as has happened in the case of ukraine. and wondering what has been the absolute frustration with how slow the process is taking for them. this was acknowledged me you needed. i went on to have another 3 hour discussion about the, the situation and the ways that they

u. ah. given the situation in ukraine, the e was likely to have to spend a lot of money over the next decade or so in a bid to try to revive its economy. can it do that at the same time as looking after its current member? whoa is, and now the you could also have to contend with the disillusionment of countries in the western balkans who will ready spent many years waiting to join the block. if countries that aspire to join the you face delays, they will reorient their policies and then we will have an increase of russian and chinese influence in the western vulcan's candidate status seemed like an giant leap for ukraine. the next one, maybe insurmountable. i don't think that realism enters into any of the calculations here. we're talking about a symbolic statement. we're talking about a demonstration. why the commission and by worst look on the land in particular. but if you, if you apply massive force and coercion, you can get 27 member states to say that one and one is for it doesn't make one and one for. but it does get to create an illusion of solidarity and it, and it enhances the prin

can tell you that there is a lot of anger high, especially among e u invoice, our who feel at that the hungarians are effectively being given too much a, in a sense. i, we know that for example, the, the ambassador of france who was cheering the meeting yesterday we hungry ab voiced it, sir. opposition suit to this blacklisting of this sad senior clary and was really frustrated saying it's in that kind of change could not be made at the stage in the game, but it appears they are, are seeking to press on with this to go forward. this can guarantee clearly dug in their heels and were not willing to compromise on that because these sanctions need to add an agreement, consensus agreement from all of the members state. so if the hungarians were going to be digging in their heels on this, this package could not go through. so am i remember listening to the lithuanian foreign minister a few weeks ago talking about being held hostage a by, by hungry. and that is that the feeling and the sense at that that many member states do share that the hungarians are in the way of delaying this round of sanctions. and now of course, this litt

but even with the full backing now, coming from brussels, getting to full e u membership is by no means a, a given a done deal for ukraine is or was it is going to be very difficult. and ukraine is. it's been helping say, but is a huge country, this country over 40000000 people in terms of area. it's the biggest country in europe. and so it would basically be in 5th place in terms of population size, where it to join. so, so this is a big deal for the europeans, allowing ukrainian, even if you crane does meet all the criteria and does all the reforms and allowing such a big country. and it's going to need a huge amount of finance to bring. it's going to be up to a comparable level with even poland to say that is not to be underestimated. but i think very putin has really pushed the western europeans is re forced to hand. they were definitely not keen on this before this war. the country was seen to be too big, too poor to corrupt and too close to russia. and now those images, a butcher, marable. they really have changed public opinion across europe have focused attention on this country and its fu

process has begun it as you say, it will take years before ukraine can officially be given the status of, of an e u member state. but it now means that everything that's happening is working towards a goal and, and, and if you will, that, that journey has begun. and let's not underestimate that, that boost, that it is, but not too much changes, but the hopes have been raised and there's something to work towards. now. there are other countries here in europe that have been waiting longer than ukraine to becoming handed it. and they're still way i'm talking about the particular of the balkan countries of what were you leaders able to say to them today while in short, not very much and that those need has walked away. i left brussels today. there's a disappointed, i mean you have to think about a country like north macedonia, that has been given candidate status and, and health status for about 17 years now. and look, macedonia is also had to change its name, so that a kid i meet some of those requirements and make it easier for that effect session . these country say we've been waiting in the wings

but given a, given the fact that the unity within the e u has become somewhat more stretched and more fragile in the time that, that this war has been raging since february 24th. this is a very significant step and it, it sends a really strong symbolic message, namely, and we're going to hear this undoubtedly later on in the press conference. ukraine is a member of the european family. or if you want to use the other metaphor that european leaders are very fond of the european architecture. the european house includes a room for ukraine. and of course, that is the very opposite of the way that flattened me putting sees you crate, namely, as a member of the russian family. so a very, very strong symbolic message there since a strong message. but there is a clear contrast now about how fast this is moved for you. crime and about how it's going for the other candidates and how they likely to be feeling about this right now. several balkan states of been in the waiting room. let's not forget for many, many use north macedonia, 17 years and they have made it clear how frustrated they are.

e u requires. and it's not the only candidate country, there are others. we know that moldova has also been given this status. but remember also there are 5 other countries who have candidate status and have had it for many years now. and they still are candidates, they have not joined the e you fully. so it is pretty clear right now that there is definitely a will in brussels to help the ukrainians on their way. but there's also a reality, which is this is not going to happen any time soon. the file is thick, southern fill all says the reader in european politics at the university of sarina . he says the process would be quick or easy. membership is a, is a long term process, a can take up to 20 years 30 years and on some occasions it can be. busy pause that temporarily withdraw, restart that again. so if it is not something that will happen over night, and of course once the negotiations, if they start, if they commence, it will take a few years to conclude chapter upon chapters as the negotiations go forward. and therefore, it would not be an easy way in, and also you will not come without any

how u started there, for example, uh, there 10-15 years ago the formation of development institutions. e. hmm, some kind of goal is being formed, an idea for it, which means that a resource was givenyes , experts were hired. so leaders, so with experience and uh, these development institutions, so it probably works. well, these same 10 years and even more just went by. and it seemed that there were quite a lot of these development institutions, they began to duplicate, er, duplicate their functions, compete with each other? well, in general, hmm, with the same owner, it looks rather strange, therefore, for about 2 years, the reform of e, optimization of development institutions to ensure coordination has been going on. all this was done on the basis of new rules for key performance indicators. e.a. well, for example, hmm and now for the rule we have that half of these indicators. and this is a general financial indicator. well, there is profitability, for example, and the second half is actually meaningful essence, the indicators of which characterize, among other things, the achievement of national goals, and this is for all, without exception, development institutions and compan

hungry and need to be given to them that you know, we can understand the need for food and water in any language. right. the price of brent oil has exceeded $125.00 per barrel. as the e u moves to impose a partial embargo on russian supplies of the commodity, some e u states, particularly hungary have opposed the measure due to their heavy dependence on imports of russian oil. cro shouldn't president is wrong. the lot of it has admitted that the current restrictive measures have not led to a substantial weakening of russia's economy. but now it does not seem, i vote a true no. unfortunately, the sanctions don't work. possibly at some point they will. and the rubel didn't drop. russia doesn't feel any of these from the financial point of view. and when it does, the war will be over. the price will be paid by european citizens, while vladimir putin will smile with satisfaction. last year, european countries accounted for almost half of russia's exports while china took in almost a 3rd. but since january this year, the export of both russian gas and oil to beijing has been reduced. a drop that has been beneficial to russia as the price of both has significantly grow or ti

e u requires. and it's not the only candidate country, there are others. we know that moldova has also been given this status. but remember also there are 5 other countries who have candidate status and have had it for many years now. and they still are candidates, they have not joined the e you fully. so it is pretty clear right now that there is definitely a will in brussels to help the ukrainians on their way. but there's also a reality, which is this is not going to happen any time soon. and shall strap. that is in case he says, moscow will likely feel threatened by ukraine moving closer to a membership. this process is going to take a very long time. also, i think the ukrainians are very aware of what sir. many pundits and analysts say is the beginnings of a more apparent split amongst e. you states as to whether indeed ukraine is ready for some sort of candidacy, candidacy status and countries in western europe such as the netherlands, portugal and denmark very much seen is saying that ukraine is not yet ready, but a lot of pressure coming from the baltic states and eastern european countri
