party e fidesz o she was and in principle is a part of the european people's party which is the largest political family at the level of the european unionentatives now directly head the european commission ms. usova fondulai the european parliament she hmm, if i'm not mistaken. last year there was a decision within this european people's party to suspend the membership of fidesz because, well, there were really serious violations of the rule of law of other democratic freedoms. condemnation of these actions in full, which are related to the contradictions of those decisions that the orbán government directly makes in hungary, which are generally contrary to the values ​​of the european union, mr. dmytro. in your opinion, is it still possible hungary to remain outside the status of the european union i would very briefly like semi i don't know maybe clarity as of now hungary cannot be expelled from the european union to exclude such a procedure does not exist there is the 50th article of the union agreement which allows hungary to leave the european union as great britain did again after all, victor orba is speculating on this. well, huk

the way to our european integration. i think that the key issue will still be related to the end of the war. moreover, for our society and for the european union, because it is obvious that the political decision to join ukraine to the european union union will not happen until the end of the war, we all understand and realize it, and it is obvious that no one can predict when it will end, it is obvious that we cannot predict what the actual results of this war will be for the economy of ukraine for its infrastructure what about the president spoke, by the way, also the energy infrastructure is one of the critical a-a how much money will be needed to restore ukraine er-e how will it affect the social sphere and how will the economy develop, will it be liberal or will it still be social oriented er, well , the social-democratic lesson, they say that what bohdan was talking about, speaking of the key political forces or ideologies that are present in the european union, therefore, i think that these are continuous, or rather the totality of these factors, it will influence a on all the decisions of ukrainians and it is obvious that ukrainians ,

, that hungary may soon leave the european union, that the situation will progress in this way, do you allow such a situation development of events well, do you remember how difficult the separation of the european union from great britain was? well, for this tango, after all, two and the european union were needed and their readiness to discuss there the details of the details of this withdrawal . to make a decision on the exclusion of any of the countries from its ranks, but the pressure within the european union on hungary as a country that constantly appears to be the weakest link of this unity in the context of sanctions against the russian federation, but at the same time the weakest link from the point of view of observing democratic of the rules of procedures and the balance of the authorities for the observance of human rights and human freedoms within the european union, it will increase and if, thanks to this pressure, they will not be able to achieve a change in the behavior of the current authorities in hungary, then, w

, and the member states of the european unionocedure, i.e. 55 % of the state members of the european union must vote for it, which in total must correspond to 65% of the population of the european union. and here exactly urban and calculates that precisely because of the sensitivity of the european union regarding the need to preserve the consolidation of the member states around the condemnation of russia's aggression in ukraine, he can negotiate a certain, let's say, compromise line to fulfill these demands of the european union. moreover, there is a lot of criticism that the european commission is quite long held these negotiations with the hungarian government, these negotiations were not good and, in principle, did not cover all the issues regarding which there is criticism of hungary, that is, if after all, it is about some certain compromises that mr. orban can act on, so it turns out that he will be the winner in this game on the chessboard , not the european union, so - let's go mr. yuriu is talking about the fact that w

from the european commission about which we will now talk about with the next guests von der leyen, the head of this european commission , in fact, the european unionove the executive body, so there is the european commission recommends to punish hungary in the amount of 7.5 billion euros on sunday, i.e. today, the european commission recommended not to allocate 65% of funds to hungary under three programs from the key eu fund due to problems with the rule of law, their decision was made on sunday, today's decision and a clear demonstration of the commission's determination to protect the eu budget and use all the named tools to achieve this important goal , i said, its commissioner for budget issues, it was not the commission's statement in the statement that it proposes to suspend 65% of the obligations for the three operational programs within the framework of the cohesion policy, as well as the ban on entering into legal obligations with passions of public interest for programs that are implemented in order and indirect management. maria ionova joins the pro e p. of the european commission. i think that this is already the first step to somehow

both to start the negotiations and to conclude the negotiations and to knowledge of the european union before the opening of financing of the internal european union , that is, let's say that experience we have to repeat that experience of our work to maintain the candidate status many times during the entire period before joining the eu and it is difficult and it is closely intertwined with the internal problems of the european union union, this is intertwined with the unfolding of the war in ukraine. yes, its duration is due to the fact that the same eu leaders have to make decisions about military aid and sanctions to agree on the restoration to agree on the coverage of certain costs of social budgets and on the accession of european to ukraine to the eu these are all the same people and we have to mobilize for each stage a certain window of political opportunities and here it is difficult to manage the deadlines for the mobilization of the countries of the european union recently , forbes magazine ranked the friends of ukraine as the country that helped us the most since the beginn

in the baltic states, we are talking about germany and other european countries, about threats from the european union, that is, why am i saying that today russia is fighting with its army in ukraine, but at the same time, russia is fighting a hybrid war in the european continent with the european union and shanta gas blackmail oil blackmail e-e creation of a food crisis creation of a migrant crisis disinformation cyber attacks all these are elements of a great hybrid war on the european continent created by the russian federation and russia therefore fatigue from the war in ukraine leaving ukraine alone with russia is will be only the first step to the next steps of russia's advancement into europe, and of course the only salvation is the unity of europe, the unity of europe among itself, unity with ukraine, unity with other partners with j7 countries, united states with great britain, that is, in unity, we will be able to get through this winter with those gas reserves and with the gas production that we have, with diversification, with the rejection of dependence on russian energy resources, which

, and did it bring the european union closer to ukraine, because this is a bilateral movement shouldter of integration. well, if not was, accordingly, in the desire and movement on the part of the european union towards ukraine regarding assistance to our country. the european union plays a very important role in the economic assistance of our country to a large extent. well, maybe not so decisive as the usa, great britain, but to a large extent and weapons also diplomatically great efforts so that europe also came closer to us in the end the decision to grant ukraine the status of a candidate for eu membership and now active negotiations in particular here are these shots that you showed now, these are still shots about the meeting of the meeting of the association council of ukraine and the eu, and now there are talks, not abstract ones, about cooperation, several sectoral agreements have been signed, and where a concrete conversation about ukraine's fulfillment of the relevant obligations is planned next year if everything goes well, i hope that it will be just like that, the begi

the european commission is very satisfied with the pace of ukraine on the way to joining the european unionpresident of the commission, usula fondluyan, assured this when she came to ukraine, she says it all it is going according to plan and the cooperation between ukraine is deepening, the process of accession is going well. i am impressed to see such speed, determination and precision with which ukraine is moving forward, as you know. we support you in everything. i don’t have to say hurry up because you are already very fast. in addition, we need to work even harder to ensure that there is more business and more income in ukraine, they also spoke about energy challenges, we see now how the russian enemy is being hit by our tests, etc., energy infrastructure there will be many challenges throughout the winter, and here we all need to work and work together, or there are complex challenges in the countries of the european union, and we understand that here we all have to help him together. ukraine is grateful to the european union that we had the opportunity to join the european power grid

the european ambassador. you invite him there, he put it in that place, and we ask him about the european european union, he getson’t i know invite, and the european went, but come to us for the transfer. tomorrow, here it is, you will find out, being on the side of staying, you speak the language. on friday, he was invited to a friday night shibatz. here, so that he explains the position of the european union . i don’t think that the european union, i disagree with dima here, that this is a victim, here’s the last ba. they will have to go to the bottom with an unfurled flag, which, in fact, they actually do. well, as a victim, you know? they're there that's heroically i don't know, i don't know how it is a hell of a bun americans, because the sweet deal of the united states had a concept about the european union in general of the european communities. they then recognized them as an enemy by the european communities themselves precisely in economic terms, without emphasizing the military component of europe from this. but as for the european communities, before the european sauce. union they were called the eur

minister called the vote useful for everyone, but especially for small and weaker countries of the european union well, from the chief euro diplomat, joseph borel, agree, we mostly hear, well, that's enough pleasant for us things about the allocation of aid and support about the fact that the european union is with us this was the case even before today's speech at the inter-parliamentary conference in the capital of the czech republic , but i did not like one of his sayings - i dislike the cut ear criticizing the proposal of some countries to stop issuing visas for russians, the head of european diplomacy said that it is simply impossible that the minister of foreign affairs of ukraine of the european union last week they did not agree on this i liked the quote. we cannot ban russian citizens from coming to our countries, that is, i personally know that he will not listen . he cannot help but let the russians into his territory, i don't understand, not all western countries that have fallen under financial and economic restrictions on russia support such a sanctioned anti-russian policy about th

were talking about some kind of new scheme, and about how to act in ukraine and further to the european union considering the fact that the negotiations have not yet started and we have already almost fulfilled the association agreement and the summer and that is also the question of the european colleagues so ukraine announces that we are actually almost finishing the implementation will be about the association as much as possible and that we already here to start in my negotiations regarding the admission regarding the membership is i hope or excuse me some in fact the agreement on the association is almost finished to promise something new to the prime minister thank you promised so the weather on the association is almost fulfilled by 65%, we are very active in its implementation, we really have the ambition to complete the implementation of the association agreement quite quickly, it is impossible to replace it with other procedures, we must fulfill all the provisions that are written and signed in this agreement, in parallel , we fulfill, we have undertaken to fulfill seven conditions

the european consumer. second, gazprom does not fulfill contracts for the supply of natural gas to the european union for theopean union company, and therefore large fines of many, many billions are provided for in these contracts, and russia is probably one of the versions. what she wanted to disguise as force majeure means the non-fulfillment of these contracts could not have been disguised before, which means using a siemens turbine, do you remember this denominator of the story that they wanted to write everything off the siemens turbine is not subject to the fact that it is supplied, so it should not be presented at substations in canada. something didn’t work out, so they thought of force majeure. well, and the third one. i think it is a very important component, why it is beneficial to russia. that is, it creates such a zone, or rather expands the zone of fear . for european consumers, it strengthens, as they think, the negotiability of the position demonstrates that, in principle, we can destroy the same baltic pipe there, which was at the same time on the same day, in essence, i will put it into ope

i am almost sure that russia will stop supplying gas to the european union by 100%. it will be better to burn this gas in the air, dump it. will not sell to the european the union will be left without transit, and here our operator of the transport system must be ready in such a situation, well, for the transit of russian gas, the initial contract remains a little more than a year until the 24th. maxim, i see that you agree with mr. volodymyr, and the europeans are ready to such a gas blackout, if we can call it uh, the euro-month claims that they are ready for exactly this, they are building up uh, reserves in warehouses so that it won't be a challenge for them, well, a surprise. however, i think that it will not be a deception - a momentary exclusion from after pressing the button and that's it. i think there will be a long period of confrontation there and manipulation, because let's see how they work now. they work with everything. they are not focused on the prices in the news of real deliveries, but on stock prices, and stock prices are like that . ports it depe

, we will support hungary's membership in the european union. herefore, this is a direct answer if viktor orban suddenly wants prematurely lose power, he can initiate the exit of hungary from the european union, but i doubt it, and whatever he does, he will probably further hint at somehow playing in this, as he has been playing until now and the game in the last 12 years, when he is among his key political opponents there and the enemies. maybe he didn’t even call the kremlin and not putin, but the european commission as europirocrats, that’s exactly what he called this list in his speeches after the election, and there were euro bureaucrats in our city who wanted to prevent him from winning, and accordingly prevent the hungarian nation from making a show of will, well , such pathos and populism at the same time well, what specifically said the whole issue is the czech government minister for european affairs nikolas beck quote unity in the european union has never been and never will be the unity of one voice it will always be the unity of many

talk at the level of brussels, talk with the european commission, talk, uh, and carry out these consultations yes exactly with e-e at the level of the european union this is a question not only of poland yes , well, purely geographically, we have a common largest such border if we are talking about the border with the european union, but this is a question of quick, effective and problem-free entry of ukrainian products and on the contrary, products from the countries of the european union to ukraine a-a, that is, the removal of not only those tariff e-e some non- tariff restrictions that the european union made within the framework of the free trade zone and such liberalization additional free trade between ukraine and the eu, but the removal of the so-called retapes, that is, any administrative and such trade restrictions, which we are currently observing at the border directly in relation to exports, now again because we complained earlier and the manufacturers of metal products and e-e run-in, what is there they sold that in our country, well, agricultural products, of course, they also sell other raw materials, and there were problems in cert

most other countries what they now in the european union and -- denmark is also participating in the european defense policy. the more countries get more places to play, to develop, and to develop a defense policy. what the nordic countries are looking to is a stronger, alliance within nato and the european union. it will have an effect and on friday, i am traveling to sweden where i will meet with my nordic colleagues to discuss things. >> i am so glad you mentioned finland and sweden and their potential membership. how do you see their pending membership as an impact on the alliance and what do they bring to the table and how do you think the alliance will benefit? >> it will be a huge benefit. both for the nordic countries and the nordic region as a whole, but also for the nato alliance. we have had for generations and especially, the last 15 years, a closer relationship when it comes to defense policy. we had different kinds of corporations and corporations with countries outside the nordic region where we have developed training facilities and programs. in the baltic sea area, tr

, and now we see that the european union focused on expanding at the expense of ukraine in the e, we believe everything well, somehow , the baltic countries also believe that they will become members of the european union well, it is possible in the future and how nato will react to this in the balkans and whether well, because there were dissatisfactions expressed in the student, what in particular regarding the european union he said that what is necessary for the war to take place on your territory so that you have prospects of joining the eu or until now, reacting to themselves, they also resigned themselves here and understand that they have to wait and, well, achieve some of the criteria of the european union, in fact, that's all, and european integration is very difficult for the balkans, because serbia and in general the balkan countries could integrate into the european union even before the existence of its slavia, and only the war pulled them away from european integration now. of course, there are countries that became eu members a long time ago, and they deservedly

the european commission, mr. boroso, said no, in no case is this a bilateral issue. we are quoting. we do not interfere with the european uniono the russian one. itai. why and russia believes that it can interfere in the negotiations of the european union with ukraine well, where is china, where is ukraine, this is a separate topic from the diagonal, not only geography, some time passes, then that's it. it comes to a dead end for them, as one would expect. and then the furrow says, and i have a great idea. why don't we hold tripartite talks with russia well, of course , with the participation of russia so this is one of many examples well, now i can say that during my farewell visits, so to speak, i can say, he warned that keep in mind that it is much easier to burn bridges than to rebuild them later. to what extent is this an independent position of the european union well, the european union in its current form, of course, has never had independent positions. eh, this is at best the totality of the positions of the member countries and being such. she reflects. sometimes , uh, at the level of the minimum common denominator,

by the way, if we are talking about hungary, while the countries of the european union refuse russian energy resources, gazprom is really looking for new buyers, the only member of the european union that is increasing gas imports from russia is hungary, and since september 1, it has increased supplies by almost 6 million cubic meters of gas per day above the contractual amount. china and india have also significantly increased volumes import of energy resources from russia only in the first days of a full-scale war with ukraine, they bought $24 billion worth of oil, gas, and coal from the federation of ukraine, that is, more than putin is trying to find a way out of the situation in which he is currently. oleksiy, what are the ways in your opinion at the moment? if i could predict this madman, it is possible that there would be no war if only they know well, you see, with mobilization, we manage to predict it, it’s even more interesting, let me, uh, with mr. peter, we understand the energy industry. let ’s leave it to those people who understand military affairs, absolutely, absolute

actually, a whole directive of the european union was adopted that each of the countries of the european union should be prepared in this regard, and as far as we saw from the very beginning, it was noticeable that russia, to put it mildly, did not like it very much here, because they understand that if the european union is not in the heating season, that is, the autumn-winter season will enter with full gas storages, this means that the ability to manipulate gas there will actually be much less gas pipelines, and that is why this whole story with the nord stream began. what, oh, we are closing it here for repairs. oh, we are reducing volumes here, and so on, that is, from the very beginning , a kind of game began, but as far as we have seen, in principle, the european union was able to thanks to the norwegian volume of gas, for example, and they are now, in principle, reaching the indicators that they hoped for, because in germany, if i am not mistaken, it is about 86%, and they have filled up so far , that is, most of the european countries are really here reaches the planned indicato

yes, and the fact that the vast majority of hungarians enjoy the benefits that membership in the european unionnt of living in hungary from the european budget in hungary after all decided to change some laws and their positions in order to receive all such subsidies, that is, everyone is saying that the european union is so-and-so not good, it is bad, but no one is ready to refuse the subsidy from the budget of the european union, and if it is , that is, now, in fact, these messages are addressed specifically by hungarians to ordinary hungarians who these people receive benefits from their country's membership in the european union, that is, they draw red lines. see that hungary is approaching the goal when the issue is already being seriously considered to exclude hungary and here this is a no no no no no unspoken question hangs in the air, do you , the citizens of hungary, want it to be like this, this is the next, this is the question mark that hangs behind these words about the possibility of hungary leaving the european union. of course, what if we assume that hungary a member of the euro

in the european union at the expense of the european union this regime is getting stronger andonger, and in the end he expects that the european union will collapse one day and they will do whatever they want there, so that president urban believes that the war in ukraine can last until 2030, that ukraine may lose a third or a half of its territory allows the disintegration of the european union in the next decade well, he said that he was fine if ukraine was not helped there, it would end quickly, mr. dmytro, so what next , what is orban counting on, what this is the money they need from the european union, russia for them until they continue to throw up and throw up yesterday the european commission said that minus 7.5 billion they are now considering the issue of no deficit about what to cancel cancel the provision of 7.5 billion to hungary and under orban, i remembered yes mr. dimytriv mentioned a ukrainian proverb. maybe they are not very appropriate. but it seems to me that it is appropriate to say that the proverb says the horse is forged and the frog puts its paw . this

who will still be there or not in the european union to roll back the situation and roll it back? artially return the market of the european union, which has always been and will be attractive for them, we saw this after the 14th year after the illegal annexation of crimea and after donbas, and unfortunately the reaction of both the european and the world community was weak then and the energy crisis actually deepened, we hope what lessons will our partners learn and in the future there will really be even more diversification and rejection of aggression aggressive or energy ee needle on which russia always wants to stick and even wound her by the way we are talking about him he also in the background wants to renew our ability to export energy against the background of the russians. i mean, well, under the sanctions, let's not forget to provide our comprehensive support to the russian federation in the war in ukraine . understands that iran is also partially waiting for a certain a certain moment in order to, against the background of an even greater aggressor russia, in principle

he believes that they will crush nato and force the european union to play by nato's rules, and then matter whether the energy carrier or energy carriers means, that is, they will force the european union to buy this gas by force if they win in this this is the logic of this existential struggle with nato, that is, they will ban, they will own all of europe, they will control the european continents, and this is what this victory means for them. well, tell me. do you think that now the europeans will still introduce new sanctions and limit the prices of russian oil, how realistic is this, well, again, many experts now do not quite understand this issue within the limits of this price, which means, uh, look, the european union applied an embargo in june, which means , well, it has made a decision on the application of an embargo on russian oil from december 15 and russian oil products from february 5 of next year. yes, except for hungary, as for those who say price restrictions are not it concerns the market of the european court, there will be an embargo, they simply will not supply o

i do not see the political will for this in the european union. ndividual countries can make such a decision so that all the countries of the european union make such a decision. i also share these feelings, i want the russians to feel firsthand this visa-free regime and what putin is doing, and that he will actually be the iron wall between russia and the civilized world, but we must also say that let's open up to questions for putin - it will be a problem if the russians are completely prohibited from handing over the schengen troops to the russians there, and there is no problem for him in this, and he may even be happy about it to a certain extent . yes, but this is your home, where i’m going to rule here, listen to me, and then you don’t need him anywhere, so what really brings us closer to victory is the topic of revenge , and it’s absolutely us, we deserve to get this feeling, they deserve this revenge but this is not what brings us closer to victory, it is necessary to understand clearly and not to deceive ourselves. it is a little more int

has already been made, we will definitely be in the european union . pean law will be the same, in fact , as our national legislation, accordingly, the negotiations in different sections will concern the extent to which eu legislation is currently implemented in us, what exactly we should implant in order to fully live by the norms by which the european union lives and uh, the main goal there for ukraine, and the main subject of the bargain - it will be to choose transitional periods and terms for the most difficult reforms that must be carried out, because of course, a very large load always goes on business and therefore each country is trying to apply what is possible and the scope of trade at these negotiations and as many transitional periods as possible e. those negotiations will be held, and they will be very technical and very detailed, and will dig deep into every aspect of every sector. there will be some global new goals and tasks for ukraine, new requirements for ukraine. well, of course, that was in theory, first of all, to be well, first o

so today before the european commission flies the ukrainian flag, the ukrainian delegation is headed by prime minister denys shmyhal from the european union, already for burel, as usual at such meetings, new agreements are concluded in the european commission, ukraine has already informed - that is, they signed four agreements, one of them on additional half a billion euros of budget aid for kyiv what else was agreed upon with her? my colleague hryhoriy zhigalov is with us in direct communication from brussels. so, what are the other results of this meeting, and what is shmygal returning to kyiv with? for this meeting, check the clock blade, conditionally speaking, see how the association agreement is being implemented. i understand that in the light of recent events, well , also in the light of the fact that ukraine received the status of a candidate country from the european union. this is the association agreement. it may not seem so important anymore but there is no need to make a mistake here, this is still a document that is very important for the relations between ukraine and the european union. so, this meeting still has a much br

of course, this is a full one station or it is in all the countries of the european union. well, it is difficult to say the studio, and on the one hand, hungary is all the time, if it mixes cards and in the european union with and in relation to ukraine, in particular, and on the other hand, hungary is outside the european union , but it is close to ukraine and with its uh, eternal conversations about what transcarpathia is ours, what people there are ours, why are we going to give out passports, how dangerous is it for us to have hungary, which will not be a member of the european union once again emphasizes that i very much doubt that hungary will be excluded from the european union, this is, so to speak , a warning sounding on ot and i think that hungary and orbán understands that it is his right away, he makes a rating, he makes a commitment to which countries, this is actually cutting off the pot from development funds and the european union and so on, there are a lot of funds that we hungary choose, it is clear that it has a pro-russian position because russia has inve

changing, and in fact this visit was the first when ukraine is already a candidate member of the european unioneed, the president of the european commission has confirmed that ukraine is moving extremely quickly into the european union, and this really impresses both europeans and all other international there are no partners, i hope that this movement will be much faster than i think, there are a lot even here in ukraine well, we will already talk about how important was the macro-financial assistance that was voted by the european commission, the european parliament, 5 billion euros in a total amount of 9 billion, and ukraine will receive this is extremely important, and by the way, this is the answer to those requests that president zelenskyi made repeatedly, because there is really an extremely important sensitive moment now, ukraine must not only stand up, ukraine must win, and as a result of this victory , the european union must also win. europe and all the democratic wars of the world, and therefore the entire democratic world must help ukraine with weapons and money , and of course, wi

oleksandr , this is a topic for you, of course, because you are in the european union, in particular,many. i would like to ask the reaction of german society to this, and whether it is possible to make it impossible for russians to visit of the european union now, or at least for the vast majority of the categories of the aggressor country, please oleksandr, in fact, already under these conditions, visiting russia for many russians for the majority of the vast majority of russians and this is a very expensive and difficult pleasure, if only because the border through the baltic countries is closed, accordingly , you have to fly, in fact, in a detour, and there, perhaps , through kazakhstan, there is still finland, but there is a high chance that finland will join that ban in the near future, expect that not in the germans and the french will close the entrance. i would n't expect that either, it's not related to many reasons, first of all, the fact that the majority of the german population still believes that not all russians and russians are bad, they are still trying to digest eh h

bohdan, this is the summit and the overall interaction of ukraine with the european union after we, being at war with the russian federation, received the status of a candidate, officially a candidate for the approach to the european union, we see that ties have become closer and energy issues, energy sanctions are also being adopted in the european union, well at least faster. so we expect in the winter on the oil and oil product embargo in relation to russia, but as you see now, the european union is monolithic in its support for ukraine, will russia be able to sow between individuals between countries or even within certain countries, russia hoped and took such steps in principle, and before 2014 and the auxiliary invasion, i think that is because there is a european community of western partners and even a transatlantic unity, yes, european and the united states of america, canada, that is, along the lines nato is a much stronger positional history in the confrontation with russia, that is why they always defined the union as an opponent in the european spirit, even when officially th

certainly she is perceived as hostile to the european union. folly: which version of liz truss do you think the european union is going to get? her critics say she has used opposition to the northern ireland particle and the eu itself -- ireland protocol and the eu itself to garner support in the conservative party. do you think she will dial down the temperature now that she has been elected? >> i think that is likely. liz truss is no longer campaigning. she's going to be confronted by the realities of government. particularly realities of government in crisis. her options are going to be limited. she will have to adopt a conciliatory tone. it will be interesting to see when that happens. once the political costs become apparent, you will see the tipping point. if nothing else, liz truss is a flexible politician. we can say this throughout her career. she has changed positions openly , repeatedly. absolutely we will see a different kind of figure. folly: do you agree with that? she was tough with the eu during negotiations for brexit. she was c

if you look at the european union there is no division among the states within the european union andwith that new structure and buttress every country more or less moving forward and a new structure meaning most host ednation support and more troops to the east and there is absolutely no discussion about that. >> there is so much discussion of the words garden and whether or not to consolidate any gains or territory and to capture all that territory. how are those conversations going with you and your counterparts in the alliance? do you see yourself as supporting ukraine as a very likely prolonged effort to recapture territory or is it about consolidating and making smaller gains incrementally over time? >> ukraine belongs to the ukrainian people. we cannot havee a europe where the military force on the other side of the border. we left that with the cold war and the berlin wall to be completely attacked not only on ukraine but all that we have worked for so ukraine belongs to ukrainians and ukrainian people and it's up to them to assign the future of their country. as long as they

the european union has sanctioned all european goods, they are trying to destroy russia, destroy it. in any case no nothing the european union hates more than the fact that ordinary citizens have a say in their government their ultimate goal is to establish an absolute dictatorship where they can simply get rid of all this business in the form of an election of a hungarian prime minister. order. he said that the decision on the sanctions was not made democratically , but by brussels bureaucrats and european elites. although the citizens of europe pay. for this price. nobody asked them, there was no democratic process to see if they wanted to the european union to participate in this war and do they themselves want to fall under all the sanctions imposed by the us and nato

and the economic opportunities that are opening up before us before the european parliament of the usula fund relain to the european uniont is, well, the government of the european commission is going to provide full access to the eu single market for ukrainian goods, it seems to me just a sensor well, not a sensation, but it is the top of today's what will this mean for the ukrainian economy during martial law? well, i understand that this access will not be canceled even during the end of the war, at least for a certain period of time, until the ukrainian economy does not give up on itself. what opportunities does this give us, please? well, we need to look at the final document in order to discuss it more professionally with you, but what i understand today is that it is really open access without restrictions of quota restrictions to european markets of ukrainian goods and this is a big step on the part of our e-e partners from europe, but today, in order to make the most of these capacities that the european union gives us, we must have enterprises, operating enterprises, competitive enterprises in ukraine, in order

we will be able to with our electricity to knock down these european prices, we will be able to provide for the shortage that the european unionxperiencing due to the undersupply of gas to the european market, and we will be able to help the european union in the matter of electrical energy and make money from it, but we have fears that due to the russian occupation of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, we may not be able to cope with our obligations to export electricity, how serious are these concerns? well, we have no obligations to export electricity at the moment, we are trading that is, we can regulate this market, the offer that we can provide, no one expects us to be obliged to supply some crazy volumes, and therefore our citizens can somehow feel some restrictions no, indeed , ukrainian citizens remain a priority for us, and what we can additionally supply and sell for it at very high prices will go on export, well, let's go back to gas. crazy figures that are now published in the news almost every day break records there, 2,800 € for a thousand cubic meters now seems to have fallen a little bit well, but a little

it seems to me that now the europeans have finally begun to realize that ukraine's border with russia is the border of the european union was mentioned, while the european union has already called it a country where there is no stable uh democracy, and in fact, in general, hungary is definitely under question. will it, in principle, in the future in the foreseeable future be in the european community or will it move together with russia? demands that russia withdraw its troops from the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, in accordance with the resolution adopted by the international atomic energy agency the day before in the document, calling on russia to immediately stop all actions against the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant we will remind you of the nuclear power plant and any other nuclear facility in ukraine. the situation at the gas station came into the spotlight at the beginning of august after russian military experts fired at the station. according to the results of the inspection of the facility, it was confirmed that russia has stationed army personnel and military equipment there. these decisions were often

verkhovna rada of ukraine took one of the first real steps on the way to european integration by ratifying the association agreement with the european unionned the day before. let's see in the plot september 16, 2014 verkhovna rada simultaneously with the european parliament ratify the ukraine eu association agreement today ukraine's choice regarding the european future depends on our will this is a choice the decisive and final decision was supported by 355 ukrainian and 535 european parliamentarians, the president signed the document directly in the adjacent hall, tell me that work on the agreement began in 2007 during the presidency of viktor yushchenko, six years of disputes and consultations, and in the fall of 2013, the document was ready for signing, it was drawn up of two parts, the political one envisaged reforming ukraine according to european standards, the economic one, also known as the agreement on the free trade zone, the creation of a common market, the last moment viktor yanukovych under pressure from putin, he refuses to sign the document. then there was the euromaidan, the annexation of crimea and the occupation of donb

which russians are fleeing en masse, nor nuclear threats will affect their determination of the european unionactly what you asked the ambassador of the european union about, today the eighth package of sanctions was pre-approved, which includes the addition of blacklists with the names of, in particular, those involved in the organization of so-called referenda and new trade restrictions, although consultations will continue in what form the package will eventually be agreed remains an intrigue and since we know thanks to our sources in the diplomatic circles of the european union that germany and cyprus, in particular, are insisting on some exceptions, and this may concern, in particular, export or import restrictions, let's see. well , the european union also confirms its commitment to supporting ukraine, and there are no differences here . listen, in the face of russia's aggressive war and the latest escalation by moscow, the eu strongly supports ukraine and its people, we unwaveringly support the territorial integrity and sovereignty of ukraine. ukraine exercises its legal right to protec

er, european integration is a much deeper and wider process and one should not compare the er structure one to another with, let's say, one of the superstructure over europe as of the european uniono european integration , our european integration is first of all nato and first of all those military alliances that are potentially possible on the territory of europe as an addition to us, not yet nato and so on, we would like to see more progress here, because in fact we are literally these minutes protecting europe from the narwhal from the east, and i apologize, unfortunately, i have to join this process, because it is in our country without a thing and continues constantly, and therefore i have to leave, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be with you thank you for participating in our broadcast, it was ihor lutsenko, a people's deputy of ukraine of the eighth convocation and an activist of the euromaidan . confidence of the president

process of the european green course, which is laid down in key directives, therefore, it is a very positive moment for the future of europe and ukraine as a future an integral part of the european unionw far is the future, or how far is oleksiy, if we are talking about the same european green course, our dependence on fossil fuels from oil and gas, the european green course is such a fundamental thing, and it was planned to abandon or minimize, yes, to a certain percentage, the use of coal, gas, and nato coal is the first dying type of fossil fuel by 2050, oil is the second, and gas has been mastered as a transit fuel as the least harmful to the climate when burning gas, the chances of its existence are more if it is compensated, you are allocated, for example, there are technologies for catching emissions, this is one karcher carbon, and it is currently being developed, that is, under certain conditions of gasmak and russian gas will also be used in the future , it was in all these scenarios of europe until 2050 as a cheap alternative chamber and putin and who will be behind him and the russian people would make money from this industry, this bee, but this marathon and who planned t

political center of the right eh in stockholm eh and i hope that they who will preside over the european unionanuary - it's the same the power that helped us, the european union will also help you, so of course everything is with you and we will do everything that these victories , uh , would be even on the entire territory of ukraine. to get the so-called long- range projectiles of the attack missile, we understand that the key issue is the increase in the number of highmars and not only highmars, how is this matter progressing now and whether it will be possible to convince the white house to make this important decision about increase in real long-range military aid well, as he always said to his ukrainian brothers that he always has two fronts , not only eastern but also western, we need to go to washington. he talks to the americans with all the capitals, but uh, symbolically, the secretary of state of america was with you uh, a couple of days ago, it's very much, uh, not all the countries of europe, he travels . he himself went to america to see what they were saying does i think eh if w

it was easy to be critical of mario draghi's cabinet and the european union, but we note this shift is and her rhetoric as the campaign proceeded toward softer conciliatory tones. vis-a-vis the european union. i think she's going to make compromises for sure. hazem: let's put the point to andrea about the change in tone. it begs the question of, what does giorgia meloni truly believe? she represents this party that has its roots in italian fascism. yet she has softened her tone on a number of issues. what do you make of that? andrea: naturally when she released that video talking about fascism, which in reality she was not -- she said fascism was -- she never said mussolini was the worst prime minister. she had to change the tone. she had to reassure the international partners. but this is a far right party. hazem: are you suggesting the change in tone is not genuine on her part? purely political? andrea: yes. if we look at for example immigration, which is something she has touched, this is xenophobic, this is far right. also just before the electoral campaign, it was very controversi

it is very important that these steps meet each other because here we are we think that in the european union, no one cares, but let's be frank about some things, they see , for example, the latest legislative initiatives in the european union, don't they see the issues there, for example, the same bill on the media, where they are trying to push absolutely undemocratic norms, they see that we we are talking there , again, about freedom of speech. we must talk about the war, first of all we must talk in principle about the struggle and about the destruction of the occupier of the territory of ukraine, but we must also understand that the european union is a model where democracy works, where laws work and where european law works in this region without all this working in ukraine, we will be faced with certain obstacles that will distance us as a country from the dream of many, i would say people and probably more than one generation of those who would like our country to join the european community. thank you very much thank you, andriy smoliy, political expert, candidate of legal sciences,

and it is on the verge of leaving the european union. y's minister presiding over the european union today. yes, and the politics newspaper writes that hungary's position on sanctions is indeed true. e was furious. eh, other countries of the european union, but vladimir alekseevich it seems to me that it was not only the substance of the details of the technical positions that enraged hungary, but the fact that hungary defends its national interests, what is in the european union today. here's to others countries, in principle, are not allowed and not accepted . and so i agree, moreover, hungary still has a chance to get out of this mess, but a chance to save, and hungary really puts the national interests that today in europe it is not accepted what is accepted on the territory outside the west, european colleagues have completely decided to become part of the united states of america and impulsiveness. yes , as our president put it, which these western countries have in many respects is connected with failures, is close relative to us.

now they have decided to arrange the same concept in the european union, but all the elites. aid the european united states of america, all those who are called the ruling classes, they said, we never quarrel at the level civil society. we always support the institution and civil society. tourist exchanges and in general, remember the classic ssoras world without borders, yes a world that can be a covered world, yes, an open society. yes the open society and its enemies. so we had such a book that was very fashionable at one time, but now we see that there is no open world, and this is an open world. we are building. not us, but it’s us that are being closed and the fact is that we are just building an open world, the real one you want to see, uh, come and see beautiful russia, but do you understand what's the matter? the prices are very different. the price of freedom now for them is the price of their own security. and one very important thing must now be noted. since those moments when america forced europe to close, liberalism does not exist, but ivan alekseevich well, uh,

apparently, this is a secondary issue, the sooner conditions will be created in the european union for acceleration of the negotiation process for the entry of ukraine to receive an application and then access to the european union, it will be mutually easier for us and for ukraine and the european union regarding the station, yes, they help. yes, they have already to a large extent forced the russian leadership to review their forecasts for the future and uh, the president informed us today that they will help , in my opinion, with coffee makers like in order to use their weapons and it was accepted by the hall with a vote of understanding and the sanctions that we heard and at what temperature the stations agreed on the maximum gas prices. they will also cost today's speech. a month and at this meeting to try out such baggage handling stations. apparently, it will be done. apparently, the europeans left. the european bureaucracy decided that it should not be made a lot of noise. and it should be done there is a lot of efficiency, it’s all between people, and there are hopes, so to sp

only a candidate country, but we have the main thing, we have it, we don't have exports and the european union has a lot of goods. and this, well , all these years was the main such blocker for full-fledged exports in the european union, my country produces a lot of things and a lot of high-tech things and a lot, for example, we have processing products there, but it can also be exported where is the price here where is the price somewhere in asian markets which is much lower than the price in countries of the european union dominates, let's not forget. yes, the eu market is 17 trillion kuroko , and it is a huge market, and well, we should occupy at least 1-2% there. in the 22nd year, it will be huge, it will be huge, not that. well, you probably know how not help, it will be possible, economic growth. well, for example, in the fourth quarter, if it would be possible to do so, well, we now have acts on everything, i know that the state and our president's ministry of foreign affairs are also actively involved and our party is actively involved in such a process european patronage it is the eco
